It was December first 1997 in a tiny village on a tiny island on the edge of the north pole. The island is called NORTH ICE ISLAND It mostly snows on North Ice Island and the tiny village is called SNOW VILLE.
Joe and his sister Amanda just moved to North Ice Island in Snow Ville with his mom and dad. Joe and Amanda don't believe in Santa Claus.
That night when Joe and Amanda went to bed they still didn't believe in Santa Claus. Joe and Amanda never knew that not believing in Santa Claus can be very dangerous and deadly.
2
The next day at school Joe and Amanda did some Christmas stuff. They kept doing fun stuff until December 15th when Joe and Amanda could go home for Christmas vacation.
By Christmas eve all of the presents were all wrapped and under the Christmas tree. Then by the time Joe and Sara went to bed but before Joe and Amanda went to sleep they looked out at the first star and said, ''there's no such thing as Santa Claus'' and never knew that even if they didn't look out at the first star the evil Santa Claus would come and get Joe and Amanda and teach them a valuable lesson for not believing in Santa Claus.
3
That night Joe and Amanda got woken up by a loud noise. It was coming from down the hall out of their room. So Joe and Amanda went down the hall and down the stairs where the noise was coming from. Then finally they got into the living room still searching for the noise. Then the noise started coming from up the chimney. So Joe and Amanda went over and looked up the chimney. But there was nothing up there. Then Joe and Amanda turned around to go back to bed. But before they could move a dark figure jumped from the ceiling and got right in front of Joe and Amanda, and that dark figure was Santa Claus.
4
That Santa Claus didn't look real at all. It was someone else. Joe said, ''who are you? I don't believe in Santa Claus''. Then that Santa Claus said I'm not Santa Claus. ''Then who are you'' Amanda asked. ''I'm the evil Santa Claus and I've come to teach you a lesson to believe in Santa Claus because by morning you will never see the light of day again."
5
"What?" Joe asked. Joe must have not heard him right. Then the Santa Claus yelled in a loud voice and said, ''I AM THE EVIL SANTA CLAUS''. Now Joe knows that what the evil Santa Claus said about being evil and taking him and Amanda away by morning to never see the light of day again and teaching them a lesson about believing Santa Claus is true.
6
Joe and Amanda started to run, but the Santa Claus chased after them and he said, ''you can run but you can't hide''. Joe and Amanda came up to a hall way and there were two ways to go. Then Joe had an idea. Joe's idea was to have Amanda turn right down the hall way and he will turn left down the hallway so the evil Santa Claus wouldn't know which person to get. So they did Joe's plan, Amanda went right down the hallway and Joe went left down the hallway. Then the evil Santa Claus saw the whole thing. So he changed into a spirit and broke into two and one spirit went left and one spirit went right. Now that evil Santa Claus spirit is gonna corner Joe. Joe has to think of a plan and fast. But in that very second Joe had an idea.
7
Joe's idea was to run though the spirit and go the way down the hall that Amanda's going and hide somewhere. So Joe did his plan and ran though the spirit. Joe ran down the hall and down the way Amanda went, and there stood Amanda at the end of the hall with the other evil Santa Claus spirit. So Joe had to think of another plan and fast. But just then Joe had an idea.
8
Joe's idea was to have the two evil Santa spirits chase him into a room and close a door on them and they will be trapped in that room until his and Amanda's mom and dad come to see the spirits. So Joe called the spirits over to him and said, ''you can't catch me'' and the spirits chased Joe into a room and the two spirits changed back into the evil Santa Claus. Joe locked the door closed and yelled for his mom and dad, but they didn't come, so Joe went to his mom and dads room and came back with mom and dad and opened the door to the room that he locked the evil Santa Claus in. But when Joe opened the door to the room that he locked the evil Santa Claus in, the Santa Claus was gone.
9
''I don't see anything'' Dad said. Then before Joe could say something mom said, ''Joe and Amanda get to bed''. Then Joe said, ''There really was an evil Santa Claus in there''. And mom said to Joe, ''you were probably dreaming honey, now get to bed''. Mom started to drag Joe into his room and tie him in his bed. Then all of a sudden mom and dad disappeared and Joe and Amanda were trapped in that room forever.
10
Joe tried pushing the door but it still didn't open. Then all of a sudden the evil Santa Claus appeared and he said, ''come with me and you will never see the light of day again''.
Then Joe said, ''never''. Joe took Amanda and pushed the door open and closed it behind them.
But Joe didn't lead Amanda back into the hall way, he led them to the evil Santa Clause's work shop castle. Joe and Amanda never knew that they made a very big mistake and there's nothing that they could do to escape now.
11
So Joe and Amanda walked around the evil Santa Claus's castle to explore. But then all of a sudden a noise came from behind a door down the hall way. So Joe and Amanda started to walk over to that door. Then all of a sudden Joe started to run over to the closet in the hall way to hide in it from the noise on the other side of the door to that little room.
Amanda kept walking over to that door. Then when Amanda got to the door Joe got out of the closet and stood next to Amanda. Then Joe and Amanda both opened the big heavy door. with all their strenth.
12
There was nothing in that room. But then all of a sudden a big loud ROOOOOOOOOOR came up behind Joe and Amanda. It was the evil Santa Claus. So Joe and Amanda ran back down the hall as fast as they could. Then when Joe and Amanda got to the front door of the evil Santa Claus's work shop they tried to pull the door open but it didn't budge. And there came the evil Santa Claus, walking right up behind Joe and Amanda.
13
Joe and Amanda kept pulling on the door and then it opened. So Joe and Amanda ran out into werewolf woods. Joe and Amanda didn't stop until ten werewolves surrounded them and the evil Santa Claus in his sleigh above. Joe and Amanda never knew that the horror was just beginning.
14
Joe and Amanda stood there in horror as the evil Santa Claus was in his sleigh above and the werewolves were surrounding them. Then all of a sudden a big branch fell on some of the werewolves. So Joe and Amanda jumped over the branch laying on some of the werewolves. Then out of nowhere three boys jumped down right in front of Joe and Amanda. One of the boys said, ''hi I'm Clay'' ,the other boy said, ''hi I'm Blaine'' ,and the other boy said, ''hi I'm Jeffrey''. Clay said, ''let's get out of here''. So Joe, Amanda, Clay, Blaine, and Jeffrey ran though the woods the werewolves chased after them. When they were running Blaine said, ''you should of believed in Santa Claus like me, Clay, and Jeffrey because since you didn't believe in Santa Claus the evil Santa Claus came too teach you both a lesson, but if you start believing in Santa Claus the evil Santa Claus just might go away Then Blaine said, ''The evil Santa Claus is an old evil ghost from the minus 1600s. he was the most evil sorcerer in the known universe. After people froze him in the ice cave he became the evil Santa Claus, and at Christmas eve the evil Santa Claus made evil spooky toys for kids, and when the evil Santa Claus flew in his sleigh to deliver the evil spooky toys on Christmas day to all the kids living in these woods instead of having reindeer flying his sleigh he had seven werewolves flying it that's why these woods are called werewolf woods. And if you start believing in Santa Claus and not believing in the evil Santa Claus just maybe the evil Santa Claus might go away. Just maybe.
15
So Joe, Amanda, Clay, Blaine, and Jeffrey stopped running, and Joe and Amanda said, ''we believe in Santa Claus and we don't believe in the evil Santa Claus''. The evil Santa Claus is from the lost evil part of the south pole. The lost part of the south pole is where you'll be lost forever. Then all of a sudden Clay, Blaine, and Jeffrey dissappeared then reappeared at their houses. And the evil Santa Claus and all of the werewolves appeared around Joe and Amanda. Joe and Amanda said we don't believe in you. We believe in the good Santa Claus. Then the evil Santa Claus said, ''let me take you back to my work shop castle so I can teleport you home''. Should Joe and Amanda believe him.
16
Then Joe said to the evil Santa Claus, ''promise''. ''I promise'' said the evil Santa Claus. So Joe and Amanda went with the evil Santa Claus back to his work shop castle. When they got inside the evil Santa Claus put Joe and Amanda back in that room that led them into his work shop castle. Then he closed the door and opened the control panel and pushed the buttons 1996 to bring Joe and Amanda back to their house. But instead he pushed the buttons to the minus 1600s.
17
Joe and Amanda teleported. Then the teleporter stopped moving and the doors opened. But Joe and Amanda were not home, the whole area was all ice. Joe and Amanda were in a big icy cave. So Joe and Amanda went out to explore. But then all of a sudden the teleporter dissappeared. Now Joe and Amanda know that the evil Santa Claus tricked them and they are at the lost evil part of the south pole.
18
Joe and Amanda ran around though the ice cave but could never find a way out. Then all of a sudden the evil Santa Claus appeared and he said, ''you didn't believe in Santa Claus you will never see the light of day again." Joe and Amanda knew that they were trapped there forever.
19
Joe told the evil Santa Claus, ''look over there''. But then the evil Santa Claus said, ''I don't do as I'm told to, I am evil''. Then Amanda said to the evil Santa Claus, ''don't look over there''. And the evil Santa Claus looked over there. So Joe and Amanda ran down the icy
hallway. Then the evil Santa Claus said, ''you can run but you can't hide.
20
Joe and Amanda ran as fast as they could down the icy cave hallway. Then the evil Santa Claus chased after them. Joe and Amanda kept running until they came into a dead end. Then they turned around and there stood the evil Santa Claus. Now Joe and Amanda are face to face with the evil Santa Claus.
21
The evil Santa Claus was closing in on Joe and Amanda. They had to think of a plan and fast. But before they could the evil Santa Claus made the wall behind Joe and Amanda open with his fingers and a little magic word called, { hocus pocus }. Now Joe and Amanda are trapped there forever because they didn't believe in Santa Claus. If you don't believe in Santa Claus at Christmas eve the evil Santa Claus will come and attack you. So you never know if there's really an evil Santa Claus at the south waiting for you to not believe in Santa Claus. Daniel, Blaine, and Jeffrey had a wonderful Christmas because they believed in Santa Claus. Too bad for Joe and Amanda. So the only thing that people will know about the evil Santa Claus is that he always haunts werewolf woods especially at Christmas. And he also makes people that don't believe in Santa Claus never see the light of day again. So if you don't believe in Santa Claus, BEWARE, because the evil Santa Claus will lock you up with Joe and Amanda and let you starve to death.
