Chapter 1: A Holly Jolly Christmas

Danny is waiting for his parents to do the Christmas dinner, they can be heard yelling at each other. "He is real!" Maddie yells, "NO HE IS NOT!" Jack yelled back. Danny was listening and sighing. He did not want them to do this all the time.

He had to do something, and he had to make them not fight. It was going to be a long holiday. He was already out of school, Mr. Lancer let them out early last week. Danny was just happy to open presents on the 25th.

All he wanted was to have a really good Christmas, without having his parents argue all the time. Even during movies. Something had to change. He knew what he had to do, and he knew what he wanted.

He just wanted to have a good Christmas for once.

"Jazz? Why do mom and dad fight all the time?" Danny asked, Jazz looked at him and sighed.

"I don't know. They always do this. I know it bothers you, it bothers me too. I hate it as well."

Danny looked at Jazz, and hugged her. She hugged him back, she did not want to see him so depressed on the week before Christmas.

Later the same day, Danny went to Sam's house just to see what she was doing for her holiday. She did not celebrate Christmas, although some days she wished she did. Just so she could spend time with Danny on the best holiday ever. All he wanted was to have an argue free year.

He looked downstairs and noticed something off, he saw a little bit of dust and walked to it. His eyes were glowing along with the dust. But he did not know what to do. All of the visions he had the other day were coming back.

Visions of ghosts and demons were flying around Danny's head. His parents were still fighting in the kitchen.

Nothing could make them stop, not even Danny and Jazz yelling at them to stop. It was just abnormal that they would fight on Christmas Eve and Christmas day, he was still excited for the holiday.

Danny wanted to see what gifts he got, and what cool things he wanted to get. His sister was also excited.

She just wanted to have a fight-free Christmas. Just like Danny.

Nothing was going to make them stop at all, not even yelling at them. Something was going to change, and something was going to change quickly. Danny noticed his parents were sitting around a table with…Vlad.

He did not know how the monster got in the house, he did not invite him in. Maybe Maddie and Jack wanted him in so they could celebrate the holidays together, all Danny is wanting is for this to be a good Christmas.

Vlad is smirking at Danny as he is checking on him, he looked at the evil man and noticed he seemed a bit nervous.

"Danny?" Vlad asked.

"Wow, you have never called me that before."

"Well…I…I am wanting to be your family friend."

"Excuse me?"

"Yes, well, it is a short decision."

"Ok."

Danny left Vlad alone, but something was telling him this Christmas was not going to be good.

It is going to be really…really…bad.
