                                         PERCY
TWO WEEKS LATER
                                ~Dream Sequence~

"Mommy! I'm scared!" 

"It's okay, my little lion. Hide in here and don't make a sound no matter what." 

I was staring up a woman with sun-kissed brown hair, and I could hear screams outside the building. She had put me below the floorboards of the house we were in and covered the hole, but I could just barely see out the crack. She quickly went to where the bed was, pulled out a sword, and hid behind the door. 

Suddenly, the door crashed open, and the ugliest creature I've ever seen stepped though the doorway. It appeared to be a hyena-like humanoid standing at 6ft tall with a furry grey face, matted brown fur dotted with black, and a black Mohawk that ran from the crest of his head to its lower back. The creature wore a bone spiked iron collar that was clamped around his neck. He had beady yellow eyes and stained sharp teeth. The thing held in axe in his right hand, both his hands wrapped with leather and chains, and draped over his shoulder was a yellow plate pauldron.

He sniffed around the room and made his way to the wardrobe in the corner. The hidden woman- who I guess was my mother in this dream- screamed and swung the weapon at the hyena-beast-thingy, but it was a waste of energy. The hyena-thing turned around and caught the sword in his left hand as he let out a creepy hyena-like laugh and sniffed the woman.

Hopefully this thing doesn't sound as creepy as he looks. 

"Your fear smells delicious! Huahhah!"

 I was immediately proved wrong. His harsh voice sounded like several cats being dragged down a chalkboard. The woman insisting on protecting me tried to intimidate the creepy hyena-beast-man-thingy. 

"You will leave my house this instant, you scourge," the woman menaced.

It let out another laugh. 'Man, that shit's creepy,' I thought, cringing with trepidation. 

"Not without dinner first." It bared its teeth and bit into the woman's throat. The boy, who happens to be me in this, covered his mouth with his arm and bit into it in order to not make a single sound. I suddenly noticed the women's blood dripping through the floor boards above and onto me, and I fainted.

Some time had passed for when the boy woke up, there were guards moving the dead woman out of the house, which elicited sobs from the boy. The knights, hearing the cry, quickly looked to the floor and removed the floor boards. The guard removed his helmet to show the boy he was human. 

"There there, son, you're okay now. We are gonna get you somewhere safe," He said.

"Thomas! Where are you? What's taking you so long?" A familiar voice called.

 Lo and behold, it was our resident asshole, Marshal Dughan.

"Marshal, I found a boy. We need to get him aid, fast!" The ma- I mean, racist asshole, seemed annoyed.

 "Leave him. We are here to dispose of dead bodies, not take in strays and orphans."  Marshal Dughan's words angered Guard Thomas.

"We forsake our own people and we become no better than these foul creatures. I'm taking the boy."  

Dughan scoffed, "Fine, but he's your responsibility. I don't wanna hear any bitching when he's eaten you out of your drinking money."  

The man glared at the Marshal walking away. "Don't worry, I'll take you somewhere safe. Let's get you cleaned up, poor boy. I'm sorry you had to witness this."
