Denis POV:

I sat down on the cold bench. it was Christmas eve. Small snowflakes fell to the earth around me. I should be at home, warm by the fire and singing carols with close friends, but I wasn't. There is multiple reasons for that. First, all my friends are in the US. They went to visit Elijah and Ethan for Christmas. Second, I was broke. All because of the adpocalapse. the ads on my youtube videos disappeared, and my money slipped from my grasp. I didn't have the money to travel. But then something worse happened. last night my house burnt to the ground. the fire place lit my tree on fire and I only just made it out. I had no where to stay. my friends were gone. my stuff was gone. corl took my car. so I was homeless. I spent most of the day wandering around, wondering what to do next. I could call corl or alex.... but my phone died, and my charger went up in flames. I shivered, a lot. I needed to find a phone. I sat up and started to walk around once more. I had a few dollars in my pocket. I found a pay phone and dialed corls cell number.

D: c-corl? its denis...

c: hey denis! whats up?

D: uh... my house... burnt down...

c: What?!? When?!? How?!?

D: last night. the tree caught on fire.

C: omg why didn't you call sooner?

D: I was.. still in shock...

C: ok I'm coming to pick you up right now.

D: no! it will take you hours! and it will ruin your Christmas....

C: do you have a place to stay?

D: no...

C: *sigh* denis.... are you ok?

D: n-no...

C: I can take a plane. ill be there by lunch tomorrow.

D: ok...

C: find somewhere warm. ill meet u at the house...

D: ok...

I hung up. I needed to find somewhere warm. maybe I could just walk all night, that would keep me warm. or... the tree house! me and corl went there when we first met. we found it in the woods, behind the house, and in a big tree. I started to walk back to the house. when I got there I stopped mid-step. there was a light in the tree house. I carefully walk up to it. I peeked through the window. I saw.... corl? but it was younger corl. and.... me? we were both laughing as quietly as possible. confusion painted itself on my face. when was I here with corl at night? we mostly went during the day. suddenly I stepped on a stick. it made a loud crack. now I remember why we mostly went during the day.... because of the sound we heard.

"what was that?" little denis said.

"I-I-I don't know..." little corl stuttered. they looked outside the window. I ducked.

"I-I don't see anything.." little denis told little corl. I knew what was about to happen.

"whos out there?!?" little corl yelled out the window. "what do you want?!?" I didn't say anything. if they saw me it would ruin everything.
