Revenge on Christmas Night

Chapter 4

   Cody awoke to a few people or a few something pulling him by his bloody shirt. He just lied there limply. When the pulling finally stopped he heard growling. Not demonic growling. He didn't know what kind of growl it was. He got tense but forced himself to stay limp. He felt a small, cold, boney finger poke the top of his head and he winced in pain. Whatever it was it jumped. Colten knew his cover was blown. He got up and made a run for it but not before seeing the creatures. They were small elves. Definitely not Santa's elves at that. They had sharp, pointy teeth and pointy ears, they had messy hair that was covered in snow and bugs and who knows what else. There rose red eyes infuriated by Colten.
     He heard one of them, probably the leader, scream or growl a command. It must've been attack for they chased after him. They were fast. Colten had a three minute start and they still caught up to him in no time. Colten tripped on another tree root and landed face first in the snow. The elves started biting him and clawing him until the leader came. Then, they pinned him to ground and the leader jumped onto his chest. He thought this was the end but, he was wrong. The leader just..laughed? Colten gave the elf a confused look and it seemed to notice for it looked straight into Colten's blue eyes. The elf's eyes turned blood red and started to glow. The next thing Colten knew, he was in, yet another, jail cell. Except this was different. It was mad out of tree branches and leaves, stuff like that. He looked out of the cell and he was at least 50 feet from the ground. Colten didn't know what would happen to him. He was so confused about everything. All of a sudden a bowl appeared. It was filled with..Cotton Candy? "What the hell?" Colten whispered to himself.
    Colten had a flashback to his mother reading him Hansel and Gretel to him as a child. "Those jackasses are gonna eat me!" Colten said to himself louder than he intended it to. The elves heard this and they got rowdy. The leader elf blasted up to Colten's jail cell like a rocket. "We're not going to eat you, boy." The elf growled through it's sharp teeth. Colten was stunned. He just stood there, open mouthed.  The elf laughed. "We're merely going to burn you, cut you into bits and feed you to our master." It grumbled. "What!?" Colten shrieked. "What? Oh. Nothing." It said trying to avoid what it had said.
    The elf landed back on the ground and Colten looked over and saw the fire. This is it. This is where I die. At least I get to see my friends again. Colten thought. Colten sat in the corner  hugging his knees and rocking back and forth singing let the bodies hit the floor, let the bodies hit the floor just as Cody had in the eighth grade when they were dating.
