Disclaimer: Phew! That was a tough month for me. Sorry about the lateness of this part. It's a little short right now but more will come soon I promise!

Carolyn leaned back and sighed. So much had happened since then. So much had changed since Dr. Sloth had kidnapped her Neopets. That was the day her life had changed forever. She had discovered a power deep inside herself. A power none could match.

She opened her eyes and smiled. Two months had gone by since then and still no sign of Sloth. Maybe things would be back to normal after all. She was sitting in Neopia Centrals food court sipping hot cocoa. Christmas was only two days away and she still had some last minute gifts to buy.

She set her mug down and looked around. Her surroundings looked just like a Christmas card. A fresh layer of snow covered the ground and a group of young Chias were having a snowball fight in the park to her right.

Carolyn felt a chill run down her spine. She had a feeling that someone was watching her. She looked up. A man with wearing a black overcoat was walking towards her table. He had his head down so she couldn't see his face. He sat down across from her and looked up. She recognized the face immediately. It was the face that had haunted her nightmares for the last two months.

"DR. SLOTH?!" She screamed. He didn't say anything; he just smiled evilly at her.
"What are you doing here?" She demanded.
"I'm just checking up on an old friend." He sneered coldly.
She glared at him. "What do you want with me?"
"Same as always Carolyn, same as always." He chuckled.
"FOR THE FINAL TIME!" She screamed standing up and looking him right in the eyes. "I WILL NOT JOIN YOU!" She shrieked to his face.
"In time the suffering of your loved ones will make you see things differently." He taunted. Carolyn's face went as white as the snow.
"What do you mean by that?" She whispered. Sloth stood up and began to walk away.
"Have a good Christmas Carolyn." He called mockingly. "It's the most wonderful time of the year."
