Suddenly he remembered what Master Owen said about that amulet he had stolen for him. It was supposed to have a special protection magic on it. Surly that would be able to protect his sister better than he could right now. If only he could get that amulet to the doll, that would help. He just knew it.
Jasper looked down at the evil doll and picked it up. A shiver of evil power flowed through his body. How could his sister not feel this? It didn't matter now. All that mattered was keeping his sister safe. And that meant he had to keep the doll safe. Thinking fast, he realized he could hide the doll in the Master's stalls so no one else would find the doll and be it's next meal.
Jasper took off to the center of the Village of Orion, towards the stables, set at the back of Master Owen's mansion. He found an empty stall and buried the doll in they hay so no one else would be able to see it.
After hiding the doll, Jasper ran as fast as his legs could carry him to the mansion. His head pounding, he made his way up to the mansion and slipped into the servants entrance. He listened hard, making sure his pathway was clear. But no one was up at this time of night.
Quickly and quietly, Jasper made his way to the second floor, where the Jewel Room was held. He knew that that was where Master Owen kept his personal collection of prized possessions.
Carefully, he opened the large door. It creaked open.
Jasper froze as a voice from inside the room called out.
"Who's there" shouted the guard.
"Show yourself!" yelled a second guard.
Jasper could see both guards and stayed low to the ground, quietly crawling behind the ornate glass display cases that held crowns and other special jewels Master Owen thought were good enough for only him. He spotted the amulet across the room and his heart leaped in his chest. That amulet would help protect his sister.
Sprinting across the room, he knocked over the glass case in his desperation to get to the amulet.
With the loud crash, the guards ran after Jasper.
As Jasper's hand grabbed the jewel, a pulse of energy flew through the air, and sent the guards crashing into the opposite wall, knocking them out.
Jasper darted through the mansion and out the servant's door and dashed straight for the stables.
Digging through the hay, he pulled out the vial object. With shaking hands, Jasper tried to put the necklace on the doll, but he underestimated his strength and the doll dropped to the ground. It's head was split open, but nothing happened.
Getting a sudden idea, Jasper shoves the purple rock into the doll's skull.
A sudden burst of purple light and the doll splits open, releasing all the spirits of the young girls.
However, they were not happy. They all had silver eyes and vried out as one,"We must kill the witch!"
