A killer Christmas

It's been about 4 months since I was taken by the so-called entity everyone is so afraid of, I don't understand why everyone is so scared! It's not like they can do anything to actually harm us! Right? I questioned myself as I let the water run down my bloody face and chest, oddly from all the times I've been moried or hooked I have no recent scares. As I thought I heard a knock on the door, wraiths voice sang through the empty room "Nea~? When you come out could you help me with something?" he asked with a nervous yet sweet tone in his voice.
"Yeah! Just hold on!" I yell back with a sigh, I turned off the water and jumping out looking in the foggy mirror. "I should cut this off.." I say looking at the black dye at the bottom of my uneven hair. Looking at the pare of scissors sitting against the counter I grab it with a shaky hand remembering the pain of knives against my waist, as I bringing it up to my hair cutting it off till it's an even length.

Coming out of the bathroom with ripped jeans on and an oversized sweater, I look around trying to find where Wraith went. "Wraith?" I call out frustrated "Wraith! Did you call me out for nothing?" I question crossing my arms harshly, before a cold hand grabs my shoulder spinning me around.
"Nea!" Wraith says making my heart leap as a smile is panting on his face, with a hat on his head. "Do you like my hat! It was delivered by the entity, with much more things!" he says with a bounce.
"The entity gave everyone Christmas things?" she questioned as Wraith passes her a box full of sweaters.
"Look! This one is assigned to you! This one for Dwight! Big bad David! And everyone else!" he announces excitedly.
I give him a smile, I grew to love it when he got excited over the smallest things. "I'm glad your excited Wraith.. but what did you need help with?" I question as he looks at my hair with a confused yet curious look against his face.
"Your hair, it's blond?" he questioned has I've been keeping my hair inside of my hat not letting people see my natural colour.
"This is my natural hair colour." I say with a sad tone, wishing any other colour against my scalp. After a few seconds of stillness, I look up at the tall man who had been stairing at me the whole time. Wraith had a slight warmth in his eyes as he did, normally they are dark and cold and his expression emotionless but now is different. I wave my hand in front of his face saying his name.
"O-oh... Sorry, I got lost in your-" he cuts himself off by covering his mouth and turning away. "No sorry nothing!" he says in a panic before running into the kitchen saying, "Could you deliver the sweaters to everyone! And invite everyone to come to my Christmas dinner!" he explains with slight distress.
Looking down at the box of sweaters questioning what just happened but not wanting to overthink it, I push it out of my mind taking out my own Christmas sweater. Looking at the next name, my heart dropped as I read the name Nurse. The nurse was always jealous of anyone, and I mean anyone was around Wraith odd thing is she never tried to hide her jealousy. I sigh loudly wanting to get it done first so I didn't have to see her again for a while. As I walk through the thick woods I hear laughing and loud talking in the distance, as I follow the voices I see Even, Susie, and Frank smiling and having a conversation. Susie's eyes were wide and bright with slightly crooked teeth as she grinned. Franks's hair was messy yet longer then he normally has it. Even never took his mask off yet his body language showed he was loved spending time with them. I walk towards them giving them a small grin as I was slightly scared of them, even outside the games.
Susie looks over towards me her eye twitches as she does. "L-l-look!" she says as darkness forms her bright green eyes to black "A little mouse to play with.." she announces as Frank holds her shoulder as she stood up.
"Susie was not in the games remember?" Frank asked before looking over at me lifting an eyebrow.
"I-I have Christmas sweaters, and Wraith invites you and everyone else to his dinner. He seems very excited for Christmas.." I say with a giggle digging into the box pulling out their sweaters.
"He always loved Christmas, worked extra hours all year to get this to be possible. He skipped his meals to save up enough points for everyone to have a Christmas." Even explains "He's stubborn but the only good memory he has his Christmas, and anytime he can't get it he's more depressed than he normally is." he explained sadly as he played with hid fingers.
I nodded as I passed everyone there gifts.
"Nea, why does he let you stay with him? He never really talks about it if anyone asks." Frank asks biting his nails.
"I'm not sure..." I explain trying to think of why he would. "He did like to take me to his home and kinda trapped me for a little. Then kept me chained up for running out and hurting myself.." I say as Franks jaw drop and Susie giggles.
"After Nurse, he's been different." Trapper says with a hum before continuing, "She loves him but likes to hurt herself to get to him more." he says searching his chin.
"What do you mean?" I said tilting my head.
"cutting her eyes, throat, and legs. For some reason enjoys seeing him suffer and hates it when anyone else talks to Philip."
"Is that his real name?" I ask biting my thumbnail nervously.
"You'd think he would have told you Nea, you've lived with him the day you was forced into a game." he sang out.
I node agreeing with the man "Well ill catch you guys later! I need to give the rest out.." I sigh out but smile.
"Leave the killers sweaters here, will give them around and spread the news." Trapper says taking everyones sweaters.
I flash him a smile looking up at him "Thanks Even.." I say placing my hand on his shoulder before walking away with a wave goodbye, I make my way to the campfire seeing Ashily, Meg, and David dick. I sigh as I walk towards them awkwardly.
