Frederick POV
Me and Sparrow walked to our room hand in hand. Sparrow opened the door and grabbed his flashlight. He shined the flashlight into the room and spotted every corner of the room. The coast was clear so we walked into the room.
I opened up the dresser and started grabbing all my folded clothes. Some of my clothes are dirty so I'll just have to wash those tomorrow morning. "Oh let me get a bag for you" Sparrow said. I heard him walk over to the closet. It was a innocent gesture but I have a weird feeling.
Wait a second.
I heard Sparrow grab the doorknob. "Don't open the closet!" I said but it was too late. He opened the closet and I saw something fly out. It had the body of a porcelain doll but the wings of a crow. It was terrifying. "SHIT!!!" Sparrow screamed. I saw him fall to the ground as that thing tried to attack him.
No. I can't lose him.
I looked around and saw a baseball bat. It's one of Sparrow's collectibles or whatever but I need it. I picked it up and swung it as hard as I could at the thing. Surprisingly, I hit the creature and it went flying towards the wall. When it hit the wall it let out a ear piercing screech and then fell to the ground.
"What was that?!?!" Sparrow screamed. "Nothing. Listen to me, we need to move quickly. Help get my stuff fast" I said. Sparrow nodded and grabbed some stuff out of the closet. He handed me a big travel bag and I started putting my clothes in it.
I packed all of my clean clothes in the bag that Sparrow gave me. "Sparrow I need to get the dirty clothes. Can we just put those in a different bag?" I asked. "Uh yea. Let me get one. You can just put both of our dirty clothes in. There's none in the washer or dryer" he said.
Honestly that's a good thing. I was not about to pull wet clothes out of the washing machine and put them into a bag. Gross.
Sparrow walked back to the closet and cautiously opened the door. "Here" he said handing me a duffel bag. "Ok come with me" I said. Sparrow sighed and said "But there still a few more things in the closet" "Sparrow, we can either go get the clothes or stay in here with that thing that's probably about to wake up. You pick" I said pointing at the creature.
The creature was still laying on the ground. "I thought it was dead" Sparrow said. I could hear in his voice that he was scared. "I don't know if it is. I just want to get out of our room if it's not dead" I said seriously. Sparrow just nodded. He picked up my bag and threw it over his shoulder. I just grabbed the empty bag.
Sparrow handed me the flashlight and we walked out of our room. We made sure to close the door so that thing doesn't attack us again. Well attack Sparrow again.
Maybe Krampus just has the wrong person. Norman wouldn't let him do this. Would he? Maybe I deserve this for being mean to Sparrow. I don't know but I'm gonna have to find out sooner or later.
We walked downstairs and I checked the fire it was still going but we're gonna need a bigger fire. I put the flashlight down on the coffee table. I grabbed some of the wood and threw it in the fireplace. That should keep it going.
Sparrow's POV
I put Fredrick's bag down on the couch and watched him add more wood to the fire. Hopefully we have enough wood inside to last the whole night. Especially with how cold it is outside.
"Sparrow come with me. I need to get out dirty clothes" Fredrick said snapping me out of my thoughts. "Oh sorry. Yea ok" I said. Fredrick just chuckled at me and grabbed my hand. He picked up the flashlight in his other hand and pointed to in the direction we needed to go.
We walked into our laundry room to get the dirty clothes. Surprisingly, there weren't too many. I mean we did wash some a few days ago so that understandable. "Ok they don't need to be folded. Here" Fredrick said handing me the duffel bag that was on his shoulder. I opened the bag and just let him drop the clothes in.
Once we got the clothes in the bag we walked back into the living room with Fredrick leading the way. I'm not gonna lie, I'm scared Shirley's right now. But for some reason that thing earlier didn't attack Fredrick. It just attacked me so I think this has something to do with that cousin of his.
I put the duffel bag down on the couch. "Hey Sparrow do you think we could maybe push the couches closer to the fireplace?" Fredrick asked shyly. Aww. "Oh of course. That will probably be safer anyways" I said.
Me and Fredrick moved all of the couches closer to the fireplace to where there was just enough space for us to lay down. But before we could get comfortable I heard a crash from in the kitchen. It's probably let that thing that attacked me earlier. I felt Fredrick hold onto me. Oh poor thing.
I heard another crash and went to get up. "Sparrow sit the fuck down right now. You are not about to go look for what's making those noises!" Fredrick said angrily. "But what if it tried to hurt you?" I asked. "Sparrow I don't think it's me they want" he said sadly.
What?
I heard another noise and that was it. I stood up. "No baby please come back" Fredrick cried. No one is gonna make my baby scared. I grabbed my pistol from under the coffee table and walked quietly to the kitchen.
I looked around the corner and saw... gingerbread men? What the hell? They were picking of knives and scissors. What the hell is going on? I aimed my pistol up and with the gingerbread men. There were only 3 so this shouldn't be too hard.
I pulled the trigger and heard the loud bang erupt. I hit 2 of them. Nice. The other one that was left grabbed one of the knives and threw it in my direction. I hid behind the counter. I peeked back over and the the gingerbread man getting another knife. Nows my chance. I aimed my gun up to the gingerbread man and pulled the trigger.
Bullseye.
I put my pistol on safety and ran back to the living room. I pulled Fredrick into my arms. I forgot he doesn't like loud noises. "Baby I'm soo sorry. I should've told you. Are you ok? Do your ears hurt?" I asked worriedly. Fredrick shook his head and hugged me. "I'm ok. I was worried that you got hurt" he said sadly. "Nope I'm invincible" I said earning a little giggle from Fredrick.
And it was the cutest thing ever. I love this man soo much. I want to spend my whole life with him. Please let all this crazy shit come to an end.
