*Note: Yes this is based on the movie. This is for the monster lovers.

Beth worked her way through the heavy fallen snow. Where in the hell did all of this come from? She kept her hands wrapped in her armpits to keep warm. During the whole time, she reflected on her family. She pretended to not feel affected by the fighting amongst her cousins and her brother. Even though she too thought it was childish for her brother to write Santa a note, she still admired his faith and hope. His letter WAS deep, and thoughtful. Just like Christmas should be. And he was right. Their family isn't like what they use to be. Beth being the older sister, felt like she had to keep a strong back bone for her brother. She didn't really act like it, but she truly did care for him. And seeing his spirits crushed when her cousins stole his letter, made empathy flow in her to where she almost cried. She said she was walking to her boyfriend's house, but in truth, she was only just taking a walk around the neighborhood to calm her emotions down. Things between Beth and her boyfriend were actually getting a bit complicated. He was wanting more..more than just cuddling and light caressing. Beth didn't know if she was ready for..that. For something sexual. She was always curious about it but you couldn't just rush into those things, could you?

She walked for several more minutes. Just now she was beginning to notice how eerie the neighborhood was turning due to the blizzard. Snowmen? Who was outside building these? The blizzard had only just started and half of the neighborhood was on vacation! They didn't look like normal snowmen either. They looked half melted only to be refrozen in the deformed state. Their faces were intimidating. Snarling mouthes with angry eyes. How would someone find this funny or cool to build? Beth would never get her answer. It looked like the snowcreeps were watching her..It was time to start heading back..She stopped to check her cell phone signal. Still nothing. The only thing it was useful for now was just a light. She tucked her phone back in her pocket and took three more long steps before the wind picked up horribly. Her eyes were forced shut for nearly several minutes. Now things were getting dangerous.. When she could finally open her eyes, she heard something both strange yet eerie. It sounded like..bells. Before she could find out what direction they were coming from, something hard hit the ground, causing a massive vibration. She saw something large yards away from her. It looked like some massive creature in a dark Christmas robe. There were several chains wrapped around it with jingling bells.

It had hooves! They stepped firmly in the snow, inching closer to her. Whatever the thing was, it was wearing a santa mask, hiding it's real face. Beth then saw it's hands. They had long terrible-looking claws. It's right hand turned and used its index claw, making a gesture motion for her to come to it. She couldn't believe what she was staring at. Her body locked up as she kept staring at the demonic mythical monster. It kept making the gesturing motion with its claw, but this time, it slid its long tongue out from the mouth of the Santa mask. It slithered in a hungry manner. Beth found her voice but she began screaming, though it was mostly masked from the wind. She had to run home. Only..she couldn't. The creature was standing in the direction where home was. She had to do something, she couldn't just stand there and wait for the thing to grab her!

She turned and ran in the opposite direction of where her house was. It was the only thing she could do to get away from this thing. The creature leapt high into the air and landed on the roof of a house. It had surprising agility for its looks. Beth ran faster than she ever had in her life, to the point where she almost thought her legs would overheat despite the freezing temperatures. The creature jumped from roof to roof, easily keeping up with her. Running wasn't going to work. And she didn't have the stamina to keep this up much longer..she came to a halt, almost sliding on the snow. She ran to the closest house and began beating on the front door.

"Help me!" She screamed out, praying that the owners would hear her bellowing. No answer. She quickly turned, looking back at the white streets. The creature jumped and landed in the middle of the road, causing the earth below them to shake again. Beth's instincts went into overdrive. Whether the owners were home or not, she had to save herself. She picked up a large candy cane from the lawn decor and smashed it into one of the front windows. She ordered a strong jump from her tired legs and entered the dark house..
