The Lizardman That Stole Christmas

Chapter 7

The Reptilian is standing on a cliff, watching the town, he could see from here they bring out a backup tree and he could hear the loud cheers of the Oletusians.

"It's almost Christmas. Ugh! All the noise! Noise, noise, noise! The drumming, the ringing, and ugh!" The Reptilian complained.

"Then their feast! Feast, feast, feast, feast!" The Reptilian kept complaining. The Reptilian hissed and he went back inside the cave. He hears Christmas music playing and he sees his dog, Zippy, dancing. The Reptilian glared at Zippy. He grabbed Zippy and threw him outside.

Zippy had a bunch of leaves around his mouth like a beard like Santa. He seemed nervous that the Reptilian was being hostile and glaring at him. Before the Reptilian did anything else, an idea came to his mind....an awful idea. He grabs Zippy and drags him inside. The Reptilian decides to make a Santa Claus coat and hat. His plan is to steal all the Christmas items from all the Oletusians. He hopes to ruin Christmas for everyone in town.

The Reptilian made a flying sled using material from garbage that gets sent to the mountain. He also forced his dog, Zippy, to dress like a reindeer. The Reptilian lands the sled to the first house. He struggles to get through the chimney but eventually does. He starts grabbing Christmas decor and stuffing it in his red bag. He eventually grabs the Christmas tree and heads towards the chimney but stops when he hears a voice.

"Santa, what are you doing?" A voice said. The Reptilian noticed it was Emma Beck.

"I'm taking the tree back to my workshop and then I'll bring it right back." The Reptilian lied, using a fake Santa voice.

"Santa, what is Christmas about?" Emma asked.

"Venge- I mean presents. It's about the presents." The Reptilian said in his Santa's voice.

"I was afraid of that. Santa, don't forget Mr. Reptilian." Emma said.

"The Reptilian?" The Reptilian asked.

"I know a lot of people don't like him. He's scaly, smelly, but...I think he can be..really sweet. Anyway, Merry Christmas Santa." Emma said and walked up the stairs to go to bed. The Reptilian stayed silent for a minute and decided to continue with his evil plan. When he gets done, there was no Christmas decor, no Christmas food, and no tree or presents. He is currently on the roof and he hears crying already. He grins and looks down and sees Melly Beck sitting on a bench in front of her home. She's in tears and seems a bit tipsy. There is a glass of wine and a bottle next to her.

"He didn't get my gift. I didn't get to give it to him.." Melly said. The Reptilian saw and seemed annoyed. He was thinking Melly was talking about giving a gift to Freddy. Unknown to him, Melly was talking about giving a gift to the Reptilian himself.

"My heart...yearns for him...." Melly said. The Reptilian was about to leave but saw Melly fall over. He sees her snoring a little. It was cold out and something told him to help her out. The Reptilian looks back at Zippy and Zippy points at Melly.

"The one time I'll listen to you, stupid dog." The Reptilian said. He quietly climbs down and picks up Melly bridal style. He sees the front door is slightly open. He opens it and walks in. He looks down at her and sees her sleeping peacefully. He lays her down on the couch. The Reptilian was gonna leave, but he looked at the sleeping Melly.

"Melly...I...I never got to tell...you. You're beautiful and perfect...ugh..you're with Freddy...you two deserve each other." The Reptilian said and he looked angry at the end of his sentence. Then he looked sad and sighed. He walks outside and closes the door behind him. Unknown to the Reptilian, Emma was watching on the staircase. She knew it was Reptilian and saw what he said. She frowned and hoped things would work out between her Aunt Melly and the Reptilian.
