A black tail whipped by my head. Fear spread throughout my body as I was trapped in a corner. I trembled as two glowing blue eyes glared at me. Before I knew it the tail was stabbed through my head. A growl echoes through the house as my limp body falls to the floor with blood streaming down my head.
I wake up shaking and breathing heavily. The images from my dream flood through my head. I sit up and see that sunrise is beginning so I get ready and decide to walk around outside.
I pull my black jacket tighter and my sky blue scarf around my mouth as the morning chill gets to me. I see a black cat as I'm walking along. "Come here kitty" I call to it as I crouch down. It mews and then suddenly turns into a girl with tan skin and short black hair. "Hello." She says with a soft voice. "Uh...Hi?" I say clearly confused. "Heh, I understand it can be a bit confusing when I shapeshift in front of you. I only do it in front of a select few." She tells me. "What are you doing out so early?" She asks. "Oh, just..just a nightmare I had kept me up." I say. "Oh, I see. Do you mind telling me what it was about?" She asks as she leans closer. "Well, a black dragon kept attacking me; it even had dried blood on its claws before it attacked me, but it was too small to be a actual dragon. At the end of the dream it...it killed me." I say shuddering. "Hmmm It sounds like a dragon hybrid of some kind attacked you; maybe even a human hybrid." She tells me. "It also sounds like that it might have been what killed your father." She says looking satisfied. "Why do you say that?" I ask with an confused look. "Well, did you see blood on her claws before it attacked you?" She asks. I nod my head. "Yes she did actually. I just assumed it was my own blood but do you think it represented his blood?" I put the pieces together in my head. "Maybe that memory spell had a flaw." I say not to anyone in particular. "Most likely. It's very unlikely to mess up on a memory spell since it's easy to cast. It may have been altered on purpose." She says. "Well I have helped you all I could, it's best that I take my leave." She shapeshift back into a cat and bounds off towards the alley.
When her tail disappears around the corner I race towards the guard tower hoping to catch the head guard. I see the tower start to peak out from the bushes before I trip and fall. I look up slightly with blood dripping from my nose and see two feet making there way towards me.
