Hey guys, PureHope125 here with another fanfic. Yes, I know that Christmas is over and stuff but I have decided to give you guys a gift. You see, I've been having this dream recently that I want to turn into a fanfic. It is based off the Nutcracker but it isn't as other adaptions. EG: Clara and the Nutcracker aren't really IN a relationship since he goes to the Sugar Plum Fairy/Princess. But yeah, from the title and the fact that this is a CreepyPasta fanfic based off a dream, you know that it has Me X LJ. DUH!
Anyway, it's start.
It was Christmas Eve in London and the sun has just risen, everyone was up knowing that they will have an early night. Well, apart from one person. This person was a girl, becoming sixteen this year. She had brown hair that would glow gold when in light, green eyes which sparkled like elmalds and had the softest skin known to man. She slept, dreaming of her Christmas sweet sixteen when her mother walked in her room.
Her mother was a gentle woman, she had brown hair and green eyes like her daughter but they had the sense of hardness not found in the young girl. 'Kathryn...' Her mother said, rubbing her daughter's arm causing Kathryn to wake up.
'Uh?' She asked, completely loopy and tired.
'Honey, it's Christmas. Don't you want to wake up?' Her mother asked, stroking her daughter's hair.
'Yeah...' Kathryn slowly got up and yawned, walking over to her closet as she looked for the dress she had been saving for today and tomorrow. It was nothing special, heck, you could say it was bland, but she loved it. It was a short white dress with black stripes on the skirt and short sleeves. She put on some matching black and white leggings and a matching bow before heading downstairs.
When she got downstairs, she was shocked to find some of her family already at the house, gifts being placed under the tree. The Christmas tree that the family made was unlike any other tree, since it had all kinds of decorations. From candy canes to candles. Kathryn smiled before turning to her mother, who looked at her and smiled back.
'Finally sweetheart, you're up.' Kathryn then sat down with her mother and they began to talk about other birthdays before the topic changed to marriage. 'You're growing up so fast, maybe soon you'll be at the altar.'
Kathryn coughed uncomfortably. 'Huh? What did you say mother?'
'You know, maybe you should start dating next year. It's not so bad.'
'But mum, I'm not ready. Heck, I don't even like guys that much. They're rude and heartless.'
'Oh Kathryn, I know what happened but please don't use that as your defence for getting married or dating. Just give it a chance.'
Kathryn sighed and left the room, bumping into her uncle. Well ok, he wasn't really her uncle but her family and his family treat each other the same. He was an interesting man, with orange hair and bright blue eyes. He wore a dark blue hoodie underneath a green-brown hoodie with jeans and brown shoes. Kathryn smiled and hugged him.
'Uncle Will!' She cheered, as Will ruffed with her hair.
'Hi there kiddo, my have you grown...' Will replied, bending down to look at her. 'And getting more pretty very year.'
'Thank you...'
Kathryn's parents walked in, smiling when they saw the visitor.
'Ah, Mr Grossman, so nice for you to visit us.'
'Not a problem Mike and Deb, how's the family?' Will asked, moving his attention from Kathryn to her parents.
'Not too bad, Will.'
The adults left the hall to talk in the dining room while Kathryn stood there. 'Am I ready?' She asked herself before heading in the living room.
Kathryn was watching the usual Christmas specials when Will came down and sat next to her. 'I've brought your gifts this year...' Will stated, pointing to Kathryn's brother, Alex. 'I've already given his present, the FIFA game he wanted, but this gift to you is very special...' Will responded, placing the box on Kathryn's lap.
Kathryn ripped open the gift to find a nutcracker, but it wasn't your normal nutcracker, it seemed to be a clown. It had a fez, a red soldier's uniform with a orange collar and buttons, golden shoulder pads, a dark blue soldier's pants and knee high black boots with orange buttons. The nutcracker had bandaged black claws instead of hands, he also had black hair and white skin with white eyes and a pointy black and white striped cone nose.
'Wow Will, he's amazing! What's his name?' Kathryn asked, her head in amazing curiosity of the little toy.
'Jack, Laughing Jack.' Will answered, smiling that Kathryn was not at all creeped out by his looks.
'Wow!'
'So, you like him?'
'Like him? I love him!' She quickly gave Will a hug before returning to the doll. 'This is the best gift I ever had!'
'Good, you like him.' Will say there and smiled before saying, 'You know, he does have a story behind him.'
'Really? Tell me.'
'Well, he was like a family to mine. Our best friend, going back into the nineteenth century. He then began to live in a special world for people like him known as Proxy Land. There, you could do anything and everything you wanted. However, there was one problem. The ruler of the land, Lord Zalgo. He hated everyone, mainly all of the people that thought they were better than him. One of those people, goes by the name of Jeff, Jeff the killer. He kept on going on about how he was the most beautiful person in the world, leading Zalgo to turn Jeff into a worm. So, people tried looking for a cure but Jack managed to find it. By crunching a hazel nut and feeding it to Jeff. Zalgo had promised that anyone who had cured Jeff will become king or queen, but...you can never trust Zalgo. So, in anger, he used his loyal witch, Pencilneck, to turn Laughing Jack into a nutcracker in order in stay on the throne.'
'What a horrible guy!' Kathryn frowned, hugging the nutcracker like it needed comforting.
'I know, the next day I found this on my bed but I think you'll look after him better.
'You think?'
'Yes.'
'Well, I guess he kind of looks cute...' Kathryn giggled, before having the nutcracker taken from her by her brother. 'Hey! Give him back!'
'Oh look, it's Kathryn's new boyfriend!' Her brother teased, but he didn't look where he was going and tripped over the cat. Which lead him to fall over and break the nutcracker's jaw.
'NO!' Kathryn cried, rushing over to the doll before hugging him. She then turned to her uncle, 'Fix him!'.
Will stared at the nutcracker before taking it, 'Don't worry,' he sighed, patting Kathryn on the head. 'I'll fix him by the evening.' Will then left the room and went in the basement.
Kathryn sighed, it was nine thirty and Will still hadn't brought Jack back to her. She started to cry a bit before Will walked in, holding the fixed nutcracker in his arms. 'Laughing Jack!' Kathryn cheered, reaching her arms out to hug the nutcracker.
'Take good care of him...' Will reminded her, heading away from the door.
'I will, uncle Will!'
Will watched as Kathryn fell asleep with her nutcracker in her arms, he sighed. 'And, take care of her Laughing Jack the nutcracker clown...' Will whispered as quietly as a mouse before shutting the door. Knowing Kathryn might be going on a adventure tonight...
