Kurtsa "Cheetah" Shilton

• Background • The clock struck a quarter past midnight, as the rain gently trickled down the young boy's window. He was having trouble sleeping lately, Arkham was never the town one would consider normal. The ghost stories you heard around their campfires would scare even the most die hard horror fanatic. Tonight was no different, the boy could feel as tho he were being watched, and so he stared back. His eyes glancing around his room and to his window randomly. His blood felt cold, literally, as if his blood had turned to ice. His finger clutched his bedding, as if it were his aegis from what lie where he couldn't see. After an hour passed his eyes finally grew really heavy, and even as he struggled to keep them open he felt himself drifting to sleep. He re awoke about 5 minutes later, tho not really. He was awake but watching himself sleep. His eyes wide with fear and mouth agape and on his ceiling staring down at him was a Hound of Tindalos. At the age of 10 his concept of the "boogey man" became materialized at once. The beast so near to feeding off the young boy. Just before the beast could feed a man burst through his window, fired a blast from his shotgun causing the Hound to screech and jump back into it's portal at the corner of his room. The man placed a weird symbol on the boys wall than jumped back through the window, and was gone. The boys parents rushed into the room to see what happened, only to find broken glass across the floor and their son staring at a corner in the room. From the moment forward the boy began to do all the search he could, paying extra mind to visit the Miskatonic Universities Library. He never thought the ghost stories were real, he always figured it was just told to get a child to behave. But now he knows, and his obsession and stopping it all as never been stronger. He may not be strong but he will prevail, he has to. No child should go through that fear, that uncertainty like he did. He has since than solved many mysteries, but one still eludes him. Who was it that saved him that one fateful day? And how did he know to be there at that moment?
