As Octavian climbed into bed after a long day slaughtering teddy bears, he couldn't help feel like something bad was going to happen.

he drifted into sleep and before long he was dreaming. he dreamt that he was sacrificing cuddly toys and all was going well until one of the bears started talking. and moving. and from somewhere it had a sword, pointing straight at octavian. Octavian gulped and backed away, only to feel a sharp pointy think stab his butt. he spun around and saw hundreds of teddys, all pointing swords at him. They bared their teeth(Octavian didn't even register that teddys didn't have teeth) and started approaching him. Octavian was trapped, there were cuddly bears surrounding him from every angle and they all had some sort of weapon. they charged and Octavian was ripped to pieces.

Octavian woke, sweating. His room was still dark and his clock read 3am. he switched his lamp on and felt a prickling feeling on the back of his neck. He looked over his shoulder and there lining his floor were teddy bears. Fair enough they were all normal, non living, non moving, non speaking, non weapon brandishing teddy bears, but Octavian was still severely creeped out.

He peed his pants and ran out of the room, screaming "teddy bears, teddy bears in my room, there going to kill me!"

He ran through the streets of new rome, wearing only his pyjamas. Lights flicked on in nearly every building as Octavian freaked out in the streets.

Reyna was waiting for him outside the praetors house. she put her arm in front of Octavian and ordered some guards to take him inside. By now, people were starting to file out onto the streets and were laughing there heads off.

Inside Reyna and Octavian sat across from each other. Reyna had one eyebrow raised as Octavian bawled his eyes out.

"the bears, the bears are going to kill me! I want my mummy!"

Reyna cracked a smile as she said, " Octavian your like 10 years to old to want your 'mummy'!"

Octavian continued to sniff and wipe away his tears.

"Octavian, you do realise that the camp played a prank on you, right?"

Octavian looked up and with shocked eyes and a in a croaky voice sniffled, "what?"

"It was all a trick, Octavian, i honestly don't understand why you got so wound up about it!"

"I had a dream and all the teddies were trying to kill me and then i woke up and there were all of these bears on my floor and, and...", Octavian gushed.

Reyna laughed and pointed to the door," Go back to bed Octavian, just shove the bears in a cupboard or something."

Octavian nodded and shuffled towards the door. he opened it only to get teddies thrown at him all the way down the cobbled street.
