Chapter 2.

The air was cold and the winds were howling, the breeze was lovely although chilly. The trees shook like baby otters on their first water trip, the grass frosty and crunchy, the best kind of grass.

Sigh
You breathed out letting warm air turn back into cold air, people giggling and walking through the streets enjoying the Christmas spirit.

Christmas.
Your absolute favourite holiday, Christmas let you enjoy time outside while seeing the happy people and the bells ringing.
However right now your main priority was buying presents for your loving mother.

You walked the streets searching the shop windows for anything eye catching when you stumble across a- PERSON?? You jumped back in surprise after seeing a male figure dressed up mimicking the manikins beside him.
WHY IS THERE A PERSON IN THERE??
As you looked back up with your heart still pounding from the shock you see the boy giggling to himself as scaring someone was his intent. How immature.

You strolled away onto the next store seeing a beautiful mini ornament, a tiny snow globe with a white snowman and snow falling down, it was perfect. You walked into the shop and straight to the till asking about the mini piece buying it after finding out the amazing price.

Arriving home your mother greeted you with her warm smile.

"Are you alright Rai? Your cheeks are as rosy as your red coat" she giggled.

She was right, you looked down at your red coat then jogging to the circular mirror seeing your rosy red cheeks.

"Haha yeah I guess they are" you smiled knowing it was from the cold air freezing you to your core.

"Go get ready bolt, I have your early present ready" she smiled, bolt was your nickname your mother gave you.

As you jogged upstairs you heard your mother shuffling as she tried to quickly gather your present.

Coming downstairs your saw your mother sat waiting.

"So uh I didn't have time to rap yours sorry" you nervously laughed rubbing the back of your neck, you handed her the gift with your other hand, her taking it with a wide smile.

She took the tiny ornament out of its bag and admired it with her smile reaching each ear.

"It's beautiful, I love it" she said hugging you.

"Yours is rapped, I couldn't help myself" she said with a slight laugh.

You opened the paper, the gift wasn't huge nor large, opening it to see a beautiful crystal piece.

"It's Opal, a beautiful Crystal that brings good luck" she smiled, at the time you didn't notice her tainted smile, behind it was a twisted grin full of meanness and hatred.

"Thank you so much, it's beautiful" you said hugging her, although the events to come weren't in your favour, but hers.
