Edit* For some reason the name and use of Mr Clause is vanishing within these chapters of my story. I thought it was an error on my end, but when I rechecked my stories, the name is there. I'm not sure if Claus is a command prompt on , but going forward We are going to go with Kris Kringle so I don't have to force these edits on to your alerts.

Trouble

The moon shined bright as clouds peacefully passed by it.

A sound of silver bells could be heard in the distance, getting louder by the passing seconds.

Breaking through the clouds, a herd of malicious rabid reindeers gallop into the night.

A pair of Yetis sits up front, reigns in hand desperately trying to steer the reindeers.

In the back an old man in a black suit sits back and smokes on a cigar.

Puffing away, he pulls the cigar from his mouth when in the distance he sees a fire.

Taking another puff, he motions for the Yetis to land.

They do as they say, and with one strong pull they steer the reindeer in the direction of the fire.

In moments they touch base with the ground.

One of the yetis rushes out to open the door for the man.

Stepping out he glances over to where the Brothel used to be.

Throwing his cigar down, he crushes it with his foot.

"Look around."

The yetis do as they are told and begin to check the area for any survivors.

A hand grasps around his boot.

Looking down, a bloodied wolf like woman stares up to him with pleading eyes.

"He…help me."

Rolling his eyes, he reaches into his pocket and pulls out a gun.

Pointing down, he mercilessly shoots the woman in the head.

The yetis return with a woman in tow.

Dazed, she weakly looks up at the man.

Her eyes widen when she notices that it was Kris Kringle himself standing before her.

"Kris…Kris Kringle!"

Smiling he places a finger under her chin.

"Ah Kama. I see you've done wonders to the place."

"No! No it wasn't me! It was Sandy! I did my best to save it!"

Looking around he stares at where the fire ridden Brothel once stood.

"This is your best?"

"You were there! You had to have known that I was outnumbered!"

The remark sparks a bit of anger in him.

"I was what?"

Confused, she begins to further explain herself.

"Weren't you upstairs with Aster when we were attacked?"

He takes a moment and looks over to the pair of Yetis who also appear confused.

He lets out an enormous laugh.

Seeing the laughing as a good sign, she smiles nervously.

Without warning he violently grabs the Minotaur by the neck.

"Do you think for a moment that I would allow Sandy to beat me at my own game if I were here!?"

He throws her to the ground and stands before her lifting a leg to stomp her.

"I SWEAR! I'M NOT LYING! You came looking dishevel. I thought you were tired from all the traveling!"

"So…there is an imposter among us? And where did this 'imposter' go?"

"I saw him run off with the Pooka and his brat heading towards the city!"

"Aster? ASTER went with him?"

She nods her head nervously.

For some reason that appeared to bother him more than the Brothel burning down to the ground.

"Thank you Kama. That's all I need to know. You may go"

Breathing a sigh of relief she gets on her knees and bows.

"Anything for you Kris Kringle! Thank you! THANK YOU!"

She quickly gets up and turns to leave.

Smiling, he reaches into his pocket and pulls out the gun.

"No, thank you."

With two shots, she falls to ground as a pool of blood begins to form around her motionless body.

Frowning, he puts the gun away and heads towards the sleigh.

"Come!"

The Yetis run around and quickly prep the reindeer for their departure.

One of the Yetis looks back and mumbles gibberish to the man.

Lighting another cigar, he gives the Yeti a devilish smile.

"To the city. If I know my Pooka well, then I know exactly where they're going."

With the sound of the whip, the reindeers take to the sky.
