Chapter 16: Holidays Shopping Is A Battle

Black Friday passed and the week was crazy.

Well, not from shopping…well yeah!

"So, what do you think you're aunt will like."

"She your sister, I don't know hehe."

"What so funny?"

3 and 4 tickling me to death.

Well, Christmas was coming soon.

I was looking for gifts for 9 and the others.

The twins and 6 were easy.

With the money I saved over the last months, it should be enough to get each of them something.

"Lulu, what with all the humans? It wasn't this crazy last time."

"It because of the holidays."

9 had no idea what the holidays were, none of them did.

"Let just say, 1 is like those people who doesn't celebrate it."

"Heard that."

"You were meant to."

9 laugh a little bit.

He and the twins should stay inside my bag before anyone sees them.

"Welly, think your brothers would like this shirt?"

"Yeah."

I was in a really good this week.

I could see the snow on the ground here, well ice.

Which means my family will do our Christmas lights drive.

We do it every year.

My little brother would yell Scrooge at a house without lights.

That will dive 1 crazy.

It was fun, my parents let us get books before Christmas.

"So…what Christmas?" 9 ask me

"Well, a time for family and friends, peace on earth, good will tows men."

Not my best example to them.

But it just gave them sort of an idea to them what it about.

The store was filled with candy, cards, toys, anything you could think of.

My mom was happy me and my brother weren't kids and the toys these days look crappy.

My mom and grandma hated looking for something for my aunt.

My step dad's sister was so super easy.

I told 9 before they started living with me we went up there once to meet her.

I was so nerves about that.

2 said I shouldn't be nerves about anything, well that how it when you meet someone new.

"Welly, why are you buying these….?"

They were gifts for my friends.

I hope they like them, it was the best I could do out of my cosplay savings.

It was going to getting 9 on DVD after Christmas.

Oh well, I live with them now.

"AAAAAHHHHH!!!!"

I heard someone yell somewhere.

It was one of the employees.

What, did they see a huge rat?

"There Some Kind Of Monster Cat!!!! Everyone Get Out Now!!"

Did he just say cat…no way…the cat beast.

"Lulu, you're going to fight it?" 7 ask me, I had to, I fought it off before.

It should be easy like last time right…?

I ran where that guy came from, good thing my mom didn't see me, she must have run out already with my grandma.

Before I could move another inch I fall to the ground.

I look at my bag.

"Guys! What are you doing?!"

All of them came out of my bag.

I think they wanted to fight it.

But, I can't let them, I saw half of them died, am not letting that happen again.

"You should get out too." 7 told me

"No way, am staying!"

"Are you trying to kill yourself? Why do you want to fight, we saw you play those games with your family, what if you get killed?"

9 was right, I had to try at least.

Wait, did I just sound like some character in dumb movie?

I need new pick up lines.

I heard something behind me, don't tell me.

"It behind me….isn't it?"

They all nodded, I was in for it now.

It grab me and throw me across to the other side.

Everything became so huge, did I became small again?

The Cat Beast was slam me against the wall.

It was crushing me.

Were 9 and the others fine at least, did they get away?

"Lulu!!"

"9! 7! Get Out Here!!"

I was losing air, I didn't want them to die, none of them.

Sometime I wish I was like Edward and used alchemy to get out of something like this.

I would kill for that!

"Lulu!"

The beast saw them, they were going to die, I had to think of something fast.

They'll be killed.

It let go of me.

Good thing stores have sports stuff, baseball bats were hard as a rock.

"Hey ugly! You suck so much, that they made a book about your face!"

I really got stop listing to my little brother.

It turn around at me, am going to be grounded for sure.

Let hope it worth it.

It jump at me, but I got way with the others.

"You're alright…"

I worried 6 this time, even 2 was worried.

I wonder if somebody call animal control or the police.

There was no way they'll take this thing on.

The B.R.A.I.N would be harder to fight then this thing.

"Your face cut."

It cut the side of my face, great, my mom is going to think am up to something.

"Hey, like it didn't have poison on it, then you should be worried."

Shouldn't have said that, they'll get worried even more then normal.

"You have the right to remain silent!"

The police were here, this isn't going to be good.

I grab my bag and they got inside.

"Guys, there girl here. She must been attacked."

"Well, let get her outside."

The ambulance clean up the cut on my cheek.

It should go away by next week the say.

Not like I believe them or they'll believe me if I told them a machine attacked me.

"Welly, are you alright?"

"Am fine."

"What was that thing?"

Not like she'll believe me if I told her.

"Just some dog, not a happy one."

My mom doesn't like how am getting these strange cuts.

My mom took me to the car while my grandma was waiting.

I was up in my room.

My mom wanted me to rest for the whole afternoon.

"You were great out there."

7 commented on how I was fighting.

It was the second time I fought something.

"Thanks…?"

"Trust me, you did great."

"She right, you were brave."

Am guessing 5 wish he was brave.

The twins would check my cheek about every five minutes.

It didn't hurt that much.

It just going to heal vary slowly.

"Am alright guys, hey, if the beast comes again and I'll do a whole lot better then today."

The holidays were coming and there was no worrys right now.

I need to teach them about Christmas the best way I can.
