A Sun Lit Path

Chapter 25 "A Holly Jolly Special" Part 2

Tis was the night of Christmas Eve. Me and my friends are watching classic Christmas movies like Frosty The Snow Man. The movie was going good until the school shut down TV and WiFi telling us to go to bed, and so we did. I got ready for bed and went fast asleep. Hours past in my slumber until I rustling in the kitchen of the house. I got up from my bed and slowly walk towards my bedroom door. I opened it carefully and try not to make a noise.

I walk slowly to the kitchen thinking it was Simon but no. I took my first step into the lobby of the house and saw the most terrifying creature to behold raiding our fridge. It was about maybe six foot five with some big red eyes and antennas on it's face. It was wearing a white and red shiny suit with a jingling hat. I thought it was a terrifying monster dressed as Santa Clause but no.

Luckily I had a light switch right next to me. I quickly flipped it on and this thing with moth wings the size on an eagle's wingspan and it was wearing Santa's iconic clothes. It flew straight up to the light like a regular moth would. It kept on flying circling the lights above the house. I screamed in terror walking up my friends from their slumber and they all came rushing into the lobby to see this moth thing flying around our house! Everyone was also screaming while Simon and recorded the whole thing on his phone. The moth creature finally stop flying and landed straight in front of me. His red eye stair straight into my soul, his breath smelled like pigs blood, his teeth are sharp as a wolf! Nobody did a thing. I was a goner until he said,

"Can you all SHUT UP?!"

"Wait you can talk?!" Simon said to the creature.

"I mean yeah?" the creature said in his deep tone of voice.

"Who are you?!" I said to him.

The moth creature walks away from me and goes into the living room.

"Me? I'm Mothman. The new Santa Claus." said Mothman

"YOU'RE WHAT?!" We all said aloud.

"Quite your screaming. Yes I am the new Santa." said Mothman

"Why is that?" Joey says to him.

"Weeeeeell...I kinda killed Santa and ate him..." said Mothman in a sheepishness tone.

"YOU WHAT?!" We all said again comically.

"Yes yes yes SHUT IT! Yeah I accidentally killed him and ate him to hide the evidence. Must say for someone that only eats milk and cookies he didn't taste very well." Said Mothman.

"Why did you do it?" I said while pointing a finger at Mothman.

"It wasn't my fault. Santa just landed in a tree due to high winds and that tree he landed on was the tree I was sleeping in and I thought he was bird, ate him, but I realized halfway through it was the real Santa Claus.

"So why are you the new Santa Claus then?" Terri said to Mothman.

"It wasn't my choice! I was forced into it. One of the elves found out and accused me of killing him. He threatened me that if I don't become the new Santa Claus he would expose my identity to the whole world." Said Mothman.

"I doubt anyone with an IQ above room temperature would believe Mothman and Santa Claus are real." Ryan said.

"But LOOK! MOTHMAN IS REAL!" Simon said while pointing his finger at Mothman while still recording everything.

"HEY! Give me that!" Mothman said as he takes Simon's phone and breaks it in half.

"YO! What the fuck?!" Simon said angrily.

"I'll get you a new phone, don't worry. Here." Mothman said as he goes into his sack and takes out an iPhone 11+ and hands it to Simon.

"Wow sick!" Simon said in a quick change of emotions.

" I have one thing on my mind why are you here in our house?" I said to Mothman.

Loom, the reindeer's got hungry and I saw these houses so I thought I could raid it and give some food for the reindeer's while giving you guys your presents." Mothman said.

"So that's why you were in the fridge!" I said like a lightbulb went off in my head.

"So what now do you want the food or not? We can always just buy more." Joey said to Mothman.

"If you can that would be lovely! I'll give you some extra presents while I'm at it." Mothman says to us with a wink.

"Go head." I said.

      Mothman quickly runs over to the fridge and grabs a crap ton of vegetables that we had in stored. He grabbed a bunch of vegetables from my fridge and runs outside to feed it to the reindeer's. He also runs back inside to get a sack while giving us extra presents. He throws them up into the air and they land safely on the ground like some cartoon.

"Thanks you guys! I'll be back next Christmas!" Mothman says as he whips the reindeer's. We all watch Mothman fly off into the cold night sky.

"Well now that's taken care of I'm going to bed." Simon said as he goes back into his room.

"Same." Joey says tiredly.

       The clock strikes ten in the morning and we rush down to open our presents that Mothman Claus gave us. We all excitingly open up our presents throwing the wrapping paper around like little children. I gave all my friends their presents and they were excited and happy that they got something they love. Ryan comes out of his room and I was the first person to walk over to him I fell down into an apology saying that I couldn't help you because I was too shocked to hear what happened to you he says it's OK and walks over to the Christmas tree that we set up I gave Ryan his Christmas present that I bought for him. He opens it to see a crap ton of One Piece mangas I bought for him. He looks over to me and gives me a thumbs up. This was a good Christmas
