Serena sat on the edge of Kora's bed she continued to stroke her daughter's back trying to soothe the child in any way that she possible. She heard Kora's say something about leaving the words making her skin crawl. Serena held
her own emotions back as she quietly spoke to her daughter. ”Kora sweetie where is it that you want to go?”
Kora's sobs quieted as her mother rubbed her back gently, she knew she was going to have to tell mother why she wanted to leave but she is afraid. She starts trembling as she turns her head, her tear streaked face looking up at her mother. Kora can not remember how many times she had looked up at her mothers beautiful face with her own tear streaked one as her mother comforted her. Taking a deep breath Kora looks up at her mother worried by what she is about to say but there is no turning back. “I want...” Kora stumbles on her own words as she finishes spitting them out finally, “want to go anywhere Momma “She doesn’t look away from her mother afraid to miss anything.
Serena braces her hands on either side of her body as she sits there looking down at her daughter's face, she
listens closely to the girls words. It is after Kora is done speaking that Serena realizes that she had been holding her breath as she lets it out, taking a breath of fresh air, she knows that she must be rational now even if this will hurt
her. She forces a smile on her face as she looks down at Kora, ”Sweetie is there a reason you wish to go away?” She knows that nothing she says will change her daughter's mind once it is made up, Kora has always been
stubborn and once her mind is made up ,her daughter does exactly what she wants.
Kora pulls herself out of her mothers lap sitting next to her on the bed, she looks down at her hands in her lap as she plays with the material of her nightgown. ”Momma, its just time I go out on my own.” Kora doesn’t bother looking
over at her mother this time, knowing the look that will be there. She knows that if she stands her ground her mother won’t do anything.
A frown upon her face Serena hugs her daughter tightly whispering into her ear, ”It's fine baby girl, perhaps its time,
and I can't say I didn't see this coming for awhile now.”
Kora can't believe her ears as she hugs her mother back smiling for the first time tonight, ”THANK YOU MOMMA!” Kora startles herself with her own excitement as she pulls out of her mothers embrace jumping from the bed she rushes across her room as she pulls open a drawer on her dresser she grabs out a handful of shirts tossing them
into a nearby chair.
Serena gets up from the bed walking over to her daughter, she takes her daughter's hand in hers chuckling as she saw the excitement in Kora's eyes, “Darling daughter, I believe you can leave the packing for the morning, now come lets get you back into bed for the night” As she leads her daughter back to bed, she stifles a yawn tucking the child back into bed. She leans down kissing Kora's forehead as she did when she was a little girl. Serena walks over to the door shutting off the light before stepping through the door pulling it shut behind her, her whisper echoing into her
daughter's room. “My sweet darling daughter, good night and sweet dreams, don’t forget I love you my daughter....” As the words echo even in her own head Serena makes her way quietly down the stairs to the left of Kora's room
instead of back to her own room and warm bed, a feeling of dread over taking her.....

The Bite Before Christmas
:A dark twisted version of a holiday classic: By: Marita Jaeger and Camille Burgin
Presented by NikSyxx
T'was the night before Christmas When all through the manor Every creature was stirring In black velvet glamour
The candles blazed on the mantle
In a flaming rage Lighting the way for those Far from beyond the grave
How the mortals were nestled All snug in their beds,
Elusive visions of Christmas Dreamily floating in their heads
But the dark Master and Mistress
Draped in their capes Had plans quiet contradictory
To the Holy Saint
Over treetops they flew Through the icy night sky
They reached their destination As the midnight bells chimed
Up on the rooftop
The dark couple did land The mortals woke with a start Knowing evil was at hand
The mortals cautiously peered Through a window of frost Knowing they would pay
The ultimate cost
The moon on the crest Of the new fallen snow Cast an illusive shadow
On the ghastly pale faces below
Their eyes gleamed with hunger Their movements were stealth
Silent were the mortal's screams Their terror was felt.
The Wicked slyly appeared In the corner of the room
Staring into the frightened souls Who felt certain doom
They wasted no time,
But went direct for the veins Their touch intoxicating
As they sunk in their fangs
Death came too quickly Yet the hunger was sated
Disappearing into the mist They mysteriously faded
The last mortal memory Was sarcastically trite Mockingly, the Vampires
exclaimed:
"Merry Christmas to all and to all a good Bite."
:A Role Play Love Story: Nik and Ria
Nik and Ria’s story started long ago. They first met when they were kids and then again as young teens. As kids they both took a liking to each other and usually could be found playing together at Ria’s secret place.
They were super adorable as a childhood couple but as they grew up and things happened they lost touch until they were teens. Nik was older than Ria but that didn’t stop them from crushing on each other once more and later on they ended up together for a short while. They only lasted a short while because Cameron, Nik’s younger half brother, and Nik both liked to travel and so one day Nik broke the news to Ria and then he was gone. Over time Ria moved on with other people but she never forgot Nik. He had a special place in her heart and she knew no matter what he always would. That point was proven when Nik came back and even though Ria was taken she and Nik had their “Fun Times” as Nik would put it. As time passed Ria ended up in a break up that would lead her to take her own travels across the different lands however she kept in touched with Nik and when Ria finally made it back home Nik proposed to Ria at a welcome home party her mother had thrown for her. Nik had always held a piece of Ria’s heart so when he asked Ria wanted to jump up and scream as she was overjoyed but she kept her cool in
front of everyone as she calmly said yes. They were both overjoyed and wasted no time as they planned for a Christmas eve wedding. They made it to Christmas eve morning before they decided to just do it and so Ria called her mother and woke her up so she could be at the wedding and even though very few family and friends were able to make the short noticed wedding Ria and Nik were the happiest couple alive that day as they both said there I do’s and became husband and wife. However their story doesn’t stop there. Eighteen months after their wedding Ria and Nik expanded their family with children. Here they are a year later with fifteen children and one on the way. So as you can see even though they have had their ups and downs Nik and Ria are still very much in love. Maybe even more now as their anniversary approaches. <3

“Last Christmas was a great Christmas because Ria came back after her long trip. I, Nik, was telling her every chance I could that I would swoop her off her feet and make her mine. When the welcome back party was going on I had my own plans and had been working hard so that I could get blessings from both her parents. And when she came back I had asked her to marry me and she said yes. At that point I was the happiest person alive and we started planning our wedding to be on Christmas Eve and when that day came I was so happy and excited and nervous at the same time. The decorations were wonderful and her wedding dress was so beautiful on her. I remember all sorts of that day. It made me so happy that my Christmas
came a day early. It was the best Christmas I could ever ask for.” - NikSyxx
Do you believe? By: Serena Slade
Presented by NikSyxx “Do you believe in Santa Claus?” said a little snot nose kid tugging on the massive trench coat standing next to him. “Hu? Well do you mister?” Visibly discouraged the kid gave up and
rejoined his mother who was waiting in line to pay for a scarf.
He had ignored the tyke. In fact he had actually been oblivious to his presence altogether. Victor Blum was tall, dark and stern. He had strong square features that became enhanced over
the years, not as a result of time past, but rather, from extreme experience. His hardened appearance came from inward, projecting something almost evil to his outward look.
Victor was not an unattractive man by any means, but certainly not one you would approach carelessly. He stood motionless fixated on a young woman hard at work behind a make-up
counter.
The little boy, safe at his mother’s side gazed back at Victor one last time before his mother collected her purchase and scooted her son along, vacating the department.
It was Christmas Eve and last minute shopper scurried through the mall making there final
purchases. One after the other passed by Victor as he stood silent in the midst of mortals. No one paid him any bother, racing by him left and right.
Behind the make up counter, the girl in Victor’s sights, moved quickly, cheerfully. Her pale completion gave her a doll-like appearance. Dark wavy hair fell softly around her subtle
features and over her shoulders.
N I K S C O R N E R
Finishing up a gift wrap for a young man, she jovially joked with; she glanced up and spotted Victor, a statue, across the room. She stepped back, almost dizzy. Looking around nervously,
she grabbed the counter trying to regain her composure.
“Angela” she called to her co-worker. “I need a break. Be right back.” She took a deep breath and left the counter, walking slowly, painfully in Victor’s direction.
Victor watched her every move, but his stone-like expression did not falter. She stood in front of him, studying his face. It was hard for her to speak. And even as she said the words, they appeared to be coming from somewhere else. “What are you doing here?” she said sternly in
the tone that demanded an answer.
Victor paused uncomfortably long, searching for the least ridiculous thought he could manage to utter out loud. “It’s Christmas, Candice”.
“It’s been over eighty years – father”, she said with a sarcastic tone. “And what now, you’re
feeling sentimental? Give me a break”. She turned abruptly “leave me alone.
Victor forcefully grabbed Candice’s arm and pulled her back to him with such force she slightly left the ground. His voice became a growl with a low deep undertone. “Show me some
respect. Do not forget who I am”.
His force and presence where terrifying, but Candice wasn't intimidated. Shaking herself free, she whispered with rage. “You are a selfish son of a bitch – that’s who you are. “Why, why
did you....?”
“You were all I had. I was all you had, when your mother died, I couldn’t bare the thought of you going through life alone.”
“You mean YOU couldn’t bare the thought of going through life alone – forever. Could you
dad? Do you know what you’ve done to me? Loosing friends year after year – having to move because I never age. I can’t love, I can’t live, yet that’s all I do. Live and live and live with no
life at all.
“I couldn’t have bared you getting old. I couldn’t have bared your death.”
“Yet you disappear so you don’t have to face this hell of a prison you’ve created for me.”
“You hated me, I knew you needed time.”
“Time – 80 years dad.” “Look I’ve got to go. Leave me alone now. I need a little more time.” Her sarcasm was felt. She started to turn away. “It’s Christmas, you’re feeling
sentimental? – go to church.”
“Candice, wait. I’ve brought you a gift”.
“Oh come on dad, haven’t you given me enough/” She continued to exit.
“It’s from your mother – something she cherished”. She asked me to give it to you. She asked me to give it to you once you became a woman, when you were mature. Once you had
experienced enough so that you might understand and forgive”.
Candice stopped in her tracks. Victor reached a small rectangular ornate wooden box to his
daughter.
There was a letter on top sealed with wax. Under it laid her mother’s cross. The cross she wore daily, handed down from her great grandmother.
My darling Candice,
Please forgive me for the grief that has embarked on our family. By now you know all the torture that our existence has layer upon us.
Candice looked up at her father. “Mother?”
Victor nodded – deep sorrow in his eyes.
Candice returned her attention to the letter.
When the monster came and raped me and took my soul, and everything we thought our future had in store for us, your father cursed revenge. I contemplated suicide, but your father stopped
me, as that is the ultimate Godly sin. Your father could not stand the thought of me going through this life on my own. He demanded that he join me so that we could comfort each other
and perhaps find a way through this existence.
If we would have known that my makeup would eventually not embrace it, and that I would find peace in death, I never would have agreed to change your father’s mortality. And I never
would have asked him to change yours...
Candice became weak in the knees. As she read on she struggled to maintain her composure.
When my fate changed and death was eminent, you were a young vibrant girl, just 20. I knew a
sacrifice for our family would be incomprehensible to you. But regardless this time I demanded it from your father. And with this letter I’m writing now, on my deathbed, I want you to
know that he change your mortality so that he would not suffer an eternity alone, on my request. I’m sure there are very few of us and we have discussed many of the horrors that lay before you.
But we are a family. A family that is built on love and friendship. Your father is a very decent man, who gave up the ultimate sacrifice for me. So I as your mother have asked the same of you, our daughter. You will have each other now. Each other to understand one another.
Please understand that I couldn’t let your father go this alone. Your father is very angry with me but I made him keep his promise to myself and God that he would have you join him in the
eternal life.
I love you very much and know that you, my daughter, will step up and understand. With all my love, Your mother Emily
Candice stood weak; her arms fell to her sides.
“I was weak. I just didn’t want you to despise your mother.” Victor said.” It’s taken me this
long to face you. But it’s time Candice. It’s time to become a family again.”
Candice moved closer to her father. “If you only would have…”
“I think it was easier to have you hate me – because I despise deeply, so deeply what I’ve done to you.”
Victor pulled his daughter into a close, warm embrace. Neither Victor, nor Candice could speak. There was so much to say, and all the time in the world to say it. Victor took the
cross from the box and fastened it around his daughter’s neck.
Candice took her father’s hands. “You weren’t kidding when you said you had a gift for me. I
thought, well I thought.” Her words came hard.
Victor put his finger over his lips. “Shhh. Now Candice. “Let’s have a real Christmas Eve together. Something I’ve dreamt about for a very long time.
The Dragon Who Hated Christmas By: EmpressOso
There was this old dragon living in a cave above my kingdom he didn't like the Christmas celebrations and every year he
would burned down Christmas trees and decorations. Everyone was sad and the kids cried. So Oso the Shy - Ruler of that Kingdom got fed up and she swore he will not ruin another Christmas. So she took down her magic sword from the wall and wore her fire proof armor and went after the Dragon. So for weeks she searched the mountain for his den then one day tired and weary she found it. How did she found it? She heard the old dragon snoring and with each snore the mountain shook for he was a big dragon as big as a house and his scales were as tough as steal. Oso prayed her magic sword would cut thru them and into him. She was about to enter when she heard a sound and looked up. She saw a tiny red light coming so she squinted her eyes and then they opened in shock and her jaw
dropped. Behind them came who? Santa, laughing "HO HO HO!!" when he saw Oso's expression. He heard that Oso wanted to kill the dragon but it turned out the dragon was an old friend of Santa's and he came to stop Oso from gutting the SOB and talked sense to the dragon and with him he had a big massive wrapped gift for his old pal. A giant earmuff to help the dragon
sleep thru Christmas and then no blood was spilt. THE END!!
The Night Before Christmas By: RiannaFLSyxx
'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through IMVU
Every creature was stirring, even the mice;
The stockings were hung in the empires with care,
In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there;
The children were supposed to be nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of noobs and golden boxes danced in their heads;
And mamma in her skimpy fit, and some dude in his armor,
Had just settled down for a long cyber filled night,
When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,
The dude sprang from the bed to see what was the matter.
Away to the window the dude flew like a flash,
Tore open the shutters and threw up the sword.
The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow
Gave the lustre of mid-day to objects below,
When, what to his wondering eyes should appear,
But a red and black Christmas tree, and collection of people,
With a young teenage couple, so lively and quick,
He knew in a moment it must be an IMVU wedding.
More rapid than eagles their wedding was performed,
And they spoke, and shouted, and called them by name;
"Now, Elli! Now, Zastin! Now, family and friends!
Their I do’s have now been said!
Wish them well and good long blessings!
Let them kiss and end this mess!"
As more snow fell to the ground,
Zastin pulled Elli close,
And gave her a kiss so deep like many times before,
With the collection of people all looking on as some of them wept.
And then, in a twinkling, the dude heard from down below
The cheers and claps from the collection of people.
As he drew in his head, and was turning around,
Loud music began to play as the couple began their first dance.
He was dressed all in a black and red suit, from his head to his foot,
And his clothes were all covered with snowflakes;
He wore a smile that was big enough for everyone to see,
And she looked like an angel in her white and silver dress.
Her eyes -- how they twinkled! Her smile bigger than his!
Her cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry!
Oh they must be so freaking cold,
And the collection of people wore a variety of Christmas colors and more;
The maid of honor in red and gold,
And the best man in a suit with a hat.
They all looked so lively as they danced on ice and snow,
That looked so much beautiful for the event than the night before.
It was merry and bright,
And the dude laughed when he saw a girl almost fall;
A quick turn of the bride,
And she caught her best friend;
She spoke with a giggle,
And then went back to dancing with her mate,
As people began to leave,
And the lovers only having eyes for the other;
The collection of people began to say their goodnights,
And away they all went till it was just the two.
But the dude heard them exclaim, as they faded into the night,
"Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good-night."
