The True Meaning of Christmas

Chapter 4

Brandon feels Asher’s temperature drop lower and lower and his heart beat getting slower and slower. He begins to weep “It’s gonna be O.K Dude, I promise.” The caring, father like figure of a brother begins to sob a little bit more until an idea strikes him. Asher is the only amphibian in the family and Brandon remembers learning at school that amphibians are affected by the air temperature dropping as it makes their body temperature, heart rate and digestion drop too. Also he recalls learning about a blanket of snow will help to keep certain amphibians warm as they need to either go underground below the frost line or into a sheltered area where temperatures won’t go under freezing point.

Brandon cradles the dying Asher in his arms again and takes off. He flies around looking for shelter. He lands in the forest of pine trees and finds shelter for Asher underneath them, creating a warm cosy little area from a giant cold place. Brandon digs a hole for Asher and lies him into it. Next Brandon puts a blanket of snow over Asher, making him a little bed. Asher falls asleep. “That ought to do the trick!” Brandon says proudly to himself.

Jayden looks around and sees that the man has been pelted with a lot of bullets. He is now left for dead, lying is in own blood. "Dum diddy-dum, here I come biaaatch! Who tha fuck could have done that?" wonders a curious Jayden as he lets out a sigh of relief. He turns his head to the left of the room and sees that intimidating snowman holding two machine guns in the air. Earlier this snowman threatened him and his family. Why has he saved his life? What’s in it for him? “Yo snowman?” Jayden inquires with uncertainty, “Why did you save mah game?”

“I've gots ta help mah playas!” The Snowman responds. He then looks through the corners of his eyes and sees the rest of the gang of men getting back up and crawling out of the ground. “Quick! Go n' save these dem hoes before itz too late, I be bout ta take care of these muthafuckas!”

Jayden goes up to the two unconscious women and releases them from the confining clamps. He carries them, flies out of the room and takes them safely into the hall. The Snowman faces the gang of men and they begin to fire gun shots at each other.

“Yo, wake up!” gently speaks Jayden to the lifeless women. He softly pats them on the cheek until one of them starts to come round.

“What’s going on?” asks the disorientated Blonde Elf, she opens her eyes slightly and sees Jayden. “Jayden, where are we?”

“Yo ass is secret safe wit me, thatz all you need ta know!” Jayden reassures her calmly.

The lady then transforms from a limp lifeless weed to a shooting daffodil that has been watered. Jayden holds her hand lightly and helps her up. She then discovers the lifeless Ami lying flat on the floor. “What’s happened to her?” she asks in shock.

“Just a lil accident, not a god damn thang too serious muthafucka! Biatch bout ta fuckin come round” the little hero assures.

“BANG!” a gun bellows.

“What was that?” The Blonde Elf freaks old whilst holding onto Jayden.

“Nothang fo' you ta worry about. Yo ass stay here n' look afta Ami, I be bout ta go n' sort dis out!” Jayden says. He walks into the warzone of a room and sees almost a pool of blood covering nearly all of the floor. He looks to the left and sees The Snowman clasping his two guns in each hand with an expression of rage and fatigue on his face. He notices Jayden in the room.

“I've capped these mutha fuckers once n' fo' all!” states The Snowman with determination and anger.

 “ZAAPP!” Someone had fired a heat ray gun at The Snowman and he is now melting into an early grave.
