Swiftly, her uncle lifted her up and placed her in the small cubby in the wall. Turquiose crawled further in for protection then looked into the old, weary eyes of her strong uncle. His eyes looked tired but his body stayed aware as he gave his niece a small smile. He was trying to make her feel better but it only made her seven year old mind feel worse. She didn't understand what was going on. All she could hear were the sounds of dogs growling and barking, snarling at each other in a furious fit off chaos.
