Protectors of Pandora

Chapter 18 ~Christmas special~

The birds and the wolves were asleep in the den, when they heard a sound, it was sleigh bells, they could hear them clearly even though they were underground, “what’s that sound?” Ping pondered, “it couldn’t be could it?” George said, then they heard another sound, “Keym! Ko Ho.” It sounded like, “is that a raptor saying ho?” Ron said puzzled, “ITS RAPTOR CLAUSE!” The wolves said in unison, “who’s raptor claws?” Ping asked still confused. “Not claws, clause, he’s a.. well I don’t know exactly what he is.. he’s a raptor who comes once a year and delivers gifts to everyone.” Sir Charles said. “Even the Ice queen and her flunkies?” Ron asked. “No if your naughty you get coal, I hope they get crushed by it.” Richard said. “Come on let’s go!” George said enthusiastically, they ran outside and looked up in the air were they saw a bright red sleigh being pulled by odd megoloceruses, The sky was beautiful as it often was at night, with the aurora borealis overhead, and then, they noticed a few dots slowly falling out of the sleigh, as they got closer they noticed they were little wrapped boxes, they got close enough to were the group could almost grab them, then a green blur dove overhead and snatched all of the gifts, then ran into the bushes. “Wha- who- HEY!” Ron said, “GET HIM!!” Sir Charles yelled.

The Ice queen and her minions were in their stronghold, nobody was happy, they knew they would get nothing but coal in their gifts, but what they were getting this year was not what anyone expected.

The group ran after the blur angrily chasing the fiend who stole their gifts, the creature got tired and stopped, which was a mistake because it then got dog-piled by the pack.

“Get of me!” He said throwing them all off, he was freakishly strong. “Who are you and why did you take our gifts!” Evelyn said. “Me? I’m the GrOuCh!!..I would go by the grinch.. but that ones taken, stupid copyright..” The grouch said. “He’s a pegomastax, a common thief..” Ron said “but much larger than the average pego.” He continued. “Hey who you callin a common thief! I’m the grouch who stole Christmas!.. or I will be.” The grouch said, “why would you steal Christmas?” Ron asked, “because all I ever get is coal..” the grouch said, “maybe if you didn’t steal stuff you’d get gifts” Ping said, “hmm, you think that would work??” The grouch said. “Well if your not naughty you don’t get coal so..” Richard said. “Oh.. well here’s this back then..” the grouch gave their gifts back then they heard raptor clauses noise again, and a new gift came down for the grouch, he opened it and it was a basket of mejoberries, he then started crying. “Would you like to spend Christmas with us mr grouch?” Ping asked, the grouch sobbed louder and they took it as a yes.

The queen and her guards sulked evermore when raptor clause flew overhead, then he dropped one large gift down to them, the Queen sighed, and told one of her direbear guards to go open the gift which was surely coal, the bear opened the large gift and as expected it was coal, the guard looked at the Queen and nodded, then he heard a rustling from inside the gift and then a large human with horns and fangs and wearing a red coat jumped out of the box, nearly gave the direbear a heart attack then it said in a goat like voice, “you terrorize and extort the good people of this arrk, AND YOU SHALL PAY!” Krampus said.

“Merry Christmas! And a happy new year!” Raptor clause yelled.
