"There, done!" Sally says, her smile wide and eyes scanning my face. I look in the mirror to  see my lipstick a bit on my chin, my blue eyeshadow past my eyebrows, my pink blush waaaay too heavy and my eyeliner to my temples.

"Good!" I reply, she smiles.

"You do mine now." She replies. I put light pink on her eyelids, a bit of mascara and a tiny bit of blush. She smiles and looks at her reflection. "I look so pretty! Thanks!" She replies, hugging me.

"No problem." She drags me downstairs to show everyone.

"Haha!" Jeff laughs at me, I glare at him.

*******************************************************************************************************************

I wake up the next morning and go downstairs. Nobody's home except for Jeff and Sally. They're downstairs.

"Halley, Halley, guess what?!" Exclaims Sally.

"What?" I ask, leaning over to talk to her.

"Tommorows Christmas Eve!" She says, clapping her hands. I smile.

"That so?" I ask. She nods and jumps around, her wide, always curious eyes glittering like a thousand stars in the night sky. I smile down at her.

"I can't wait!" She exclaims. I laugh.

"You better." Jeff says, smirking. I look up at him to see him looking at me, then he turns away and looks at Sally.

"Is something going on between you and Halley?" Asks Sally. Jeff hesitates and looks at me. Then looks down.

"No." He says in a hushed tone, Sally nods, giving him a skeptical look. Then goes on talking about Christmas. After a couple minutes, I go to the store with some money I stole from my victims. I mean, they're not going to need it anymore. I get Sally some makeup and hair stuff, I get Ben a new video game he's been talking about non-stop but hasn't got yet, I get Slender a book he's been wanting and a sweater he's been eyeing, I get Masky and Hoodie a book on how to make 101 different types of cheesecakes, I get E.J. an huge glass filled with Kidneys and blood (they don't sell that in stores so guess who had to dive her hands into a stomach to get them? THIS GIRL. He better like it.), I get L.J. a huge stocking full of candies, and I get Jeff a rare knife that he's been trying to get his hands on for his knife collection. Afterwords, I go back to Slender's mansion, which I've been trying to refer as home since I've been staying there for four months now. The mansion is decorated by Slender and Sally. There's going to be a boxing day party here for all the Creepypasta's that live elsewhere. I put the presents up in my room in a drawer and put my victims wallet in my other drawer, then go to wash the blood of my hands. I go downstairs to find Slender harshley looking at me, not that I can tell considering he has no face, but I just KNOW.

"Slender, is something wrong?" I ask. He shakes his head ever so slowly and turns away... what's up with him? I shrug it off.

**************************************************************************************************************

As we settle down for dinner, Slender seems off, being gone for two days on a killing spree you'd think he'd be happy, but somethings wrong. All of us keep looking at him, Sally even asks me why Slender's acting this way. Finally, I set my fork down and turn to him.

"Slender, what's wrong?" I ask. He shakes his head slowly again. I arch an eyebrow. "C'mon, we all  know somethings wrong. Now spill." I barely finish the last word before my head starts buzzing and I scream, the other's stare at me. My head feels as if it's playing host to a million bees. I put my hands over my head, almost passing out and shouting. Everyone stares at me and I look at Slender, realizing he's doing this. What the fuck? I fight back, all the lights flicker off and the candles light, floating in the air. They cast an eerie shadow amongst the room. I scream again and the dishes and food go flying off the table, everyone looks shocked. I get up and stand on the table then run over to Slender and shake him, he stops the buzzing in my head and I stare at him, then I release the tension. The lights go back on, the candles go out then fall and break and the plates and food go back on the tables, the only proof that that just happened is that I'm on the table and the candles are on the floor, broken.

"What the Hell just happened?" Asks Ben after a long moment of silence. When nothing else happens after a few minutes, I shake my head and walk upstairs.

**************************************************************************************************************

After a while I go back down to the living room where Sally forced Ben to stop playing video games and watch Christmas movies with her. I sit between Sally and Ben, Jeff's sitting on the other side of Sally. Slender's on the chair in the most shadowy corner in the living room, Hoodie and Masky are sitting together on the love seat, cuddling by the fire. E.J. and L.J. are bickering harmlessly among each other about which is better; kidneys or candy. Sally starts yawning, Jeff and I look at her at the same time.

"You should go to bed." We both say at the same time to Sally, then we look at each other, shocked. So does everyone else except for Slender, who's sitting in the corner muttering nonsense.

"Can you both put me to bed?" Sally asks. We hesitate and he shrugs. He has a soft spot when it comes to Sally, although he'll never admit to it.

"Sure." I reply. Jeff picks her up and I walk behind him as he takes her to her room and tucks her in.

"Can you read 'Twas The Night Before Christmas' to me?" She asks, her bright emerald green eyes praying we say yes.

"Sure. Jeff, you can leave if you want." I tell him. He shakes his head. He's usually not as quite. I shut the door and pull out a book from her bookshelf and read it to her. After words, she falls asleep. Jeff kisses her forhead.

"Sweet dreams, Princess." I say to her, then we leave. Outside the room Jeff and I stand there, awkwardly facing each other.

"So..." I say.

"So..." He replies. We just leave each other then. I gather the presants, put them under the tree, Hoodie, Masky and L.J. eat 'santas' cookies and E.J. drinks the blood squeezed from kidneys, Jeff and I fill Ben and Sally's stalkings and then go to bed.
