Son of Claus

"Mommy mommy! I want that one, and that also and, oh!", Natasha seemed to be overjoyed when she saw that last little creepy porcelain Santa on the store shelf.

"Mom, can we buy this stuff?? Pretty please??", And she did her puppy eyes again to lure mom.

"Alright little sweetheart if it seems like it will be a great decoration in our house!" , Mom also exclaimed in joy and Natasha hugged her.

"Creepy!", I get my things on the pushcart and left them alone. "Don't worry Shasha, your sister is in her period, she'll be fine soon", I overheard mom telling that to Natasha.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

"Are you ok Beverly?" , Natasha asked me and I couldn't be angry to my cute baby little sister caring for me. I sighed and smiled at her while she hugged me

"Enough of the cuddly huggies girls because it's time for our dinner!", father jumped to us and gave us some high fives.

Today, it's almost only 4 days only before the Christmas Eve, and I'm already excited about it. I'm a teenager but I still feel like a child in heart.

"Mom, Dad ! Me and my friends are going to the Christmas village today, I'm going now", I told them as I wear my boots and snatched the keys.

"Wait Beverly! Take Natasha with you, me and your father also have an appointment today, and before 6pm you must be here now", Mom told me as she went upstairs.

"Can't you just hire a babysitter for the meantime?", I asked them but I think it's too late now.

Natasha tightly held my hand and smiled at me while she's in her fluffy pink hooded coat with snowflakes.

"Ok Natasha, just always hold my hand no matter what please ", I told her and she just nodded, seeing her tiny little footsteps as we go to the Christmas village.

We are now here at the Christmas village, which is literally just an amusement park filled with artificial snows and full of Christmas decorations.

"Looks like we've got company here Eve", Denver teasingly said to me and I just smirked at him before I bumped him.

Then Rebecca got us our favorite ice creams as she pinched Natasha.

We're five here, well literally 6 because Natasha is here, and altogether we went to rides, which Natasha seems to be enjoying, while the 3 boys gave up and just guided our stuffs below.

As the 4 of us, Denver, Rebecca, me and Natasha were walking home, an old woman walked in front of us and stayed there for some time.

"Beware, Claus is real, but he is not as you had imagined" , the old lady told us while showing her old, yellowish teeth and rubbing her soggy skin.

"Santa Claus is real?", the old lady smiled at Natasha as she asked that question. I just pulled her and walked away from that creepy old lady who seems to be bitter about Christmas.

"Back off!" , I heard Denver as we walked away from that creepy woman.

We saw a policemen patrolling and we approached them, telling them about that old woman.

"Thank you for giving us information, we will take care of it, Merry Christmas!", one of the policeman told us.

"The old woman was here again? I thought she was already brought in the Home for the Aged or at home for Christmas already?", I overheard the other policeman telling that to his fellow.

"Well it seems she still finds his son Gregory that once the Santa Claus, now the most wanted in Finland, but yeah it's true that he was one of the descendants of the original Santa Claus", the other policeman told them about the backstory of the old women. I shivered upon hearing that and we parted ways since my home was near. I also wondered why the heck the most wanted in Finland be here, so I calmed myself.

"I wished all our wishes will be brought by Santa" , Natasha said to me as I put her to sleep.

Christmas Eve....

"Merry Christmas everyone!", the whole family exclaimed in joy and we hugged each other. The whole town was just silent every Christmas Eve because we usually celebrate it exactly at morning, where the whole town parties.

We silently eat our meal after we opened the gifts. I received a silver electric guitar and drumsticks that I always dreamed, Natasha received her dream playhouse and mom and dad also received their gifts. Then my friends called me for some hangout in Rebecca's house, so I said goodbye to my family and went to Rebecca's that's just next to our neighborhood.

But upon coming there, people were silent and worried while the music continues to play.

"What happened?" , I asked everybody.

"Rebecca's missing", Cara said to me as I protested that she just called me minutes ago

"Right, she went outside to call you and when I was about to approach her outside, she's not there anymore", filled with terror something heavy fell on the chimney

It's a bloody partly chopped Rebecca....

All of us shouted and ran in circles nervously while the fire in chimney began to fade away. We opened the lights but it seems there's no power anymore in the whole town so we opened our phone's flashlight. I hear every slash as a person shouts and that makes me feel more terrified. Denver held me but he fell because "Santa" stabbed him. That Santa seems to be the past Santa the policemen were talking about.

I ran fast to escape the horror but as I open our door in our house, I was also stabbed. The crazy santa ran away. I already hear the sirens and see colorful lights everywhere. I heard my family screamed and Natasha is holding my hands. I can feel her tears, I could also feel my tears running down and I feel sleepy.
