Two of Santa’s elves were walking home for the night, it was a rather colder night than usual, the snow crunching under the elves feet. The elves were talking about the reindeer race coming up, when they heard a loud crunch in the snow. One of the elves looked behind them, the elf jumped back in horror. The other elf turned around, then saw the giant beast.
The two elves screamed, before running towards the workshop, when the two elves reached the workshop they turned around. The beast was gone, the night grew a little warmer. The next day the two elves reported the beast to the man himself, Mr. Claus. Mr. Claus was shocked by what the elves told him. Mr. Claus let the elves go home for the day, that same night Mr. Claus decided to go out, and investigate.
The night was colder than the last, it was heavily snowing, Mr. Claus went out with a lantern. The sound of snow crunching under Mr. Claus's feet, Mr. Claus stopped in his tracks. The sound of snow crunching faintly could be heard in the distance. Mr. Claus followed the sound up to a hill, then stopped when he saw it. A tall creature, with white fur all round its body, sitting down next to a tree, the creature was staring at something. Mr. Claus looked at what the creature was staring at, it was staring at the elf village. Mr. Claus stopped to think about what the creature wanted, then had an idea. Mr. Claus walked up to the creature, and said “Hello there big fellow.” The creature got up, startled by the sound of Mr. Claus' voice. The creature looked worried, and was about to run off.
“Don’t worry I’m not here to hurt you.” Mr. Claus shortly replies.
The creature stood still, making eye contact with Mr. Claus. “H-hello there.” The Creature spoke. Mr. Claus was surprised by the fact the creature could talk.
“So what are you doing up here?” Mr. Claus shortly replied.
“I was just looking over the village.” The Creature replied.
“What for?” Mr. Claus asked.
“I just felt lonely.” The Creature shortly replied with a sad voice.
The Creature sat back down, Mr. Claus shortly after put the lantern down by the Creature, and sat down as well.
“What's your name big guy?” Mr. Claus asked the Creature.
“I’m Abominal.” The Creature replied in a hesitated voice.
“Alright Abominal, let see if you can make some friends.” Mr. Claus replies, getting up, and grabbing the lantern.
Mr. Claus walked towards the elf village, then turned around looking at Abominal. Abominal was unsure, but Mr. Claus motion for him to come. Abominal got up, and followed Mr. Claus to the elf village. When Mr. Claus appeared, all the elves started running towards him, but when Abominal was in view, all the elves stopped in their place. Mr. Claus wasn’t happy by what the elves did. “This is Abominal, he felt lonely so I decided to bring him here to gain a few friends.” Mr. Claus voice boomed. The elves all shook their heads, and started walking towards Abominal. The elves surrounded Abominal, Abominal was nervous until one of the elves asked him a question.
“Would you like to watch the reindeer race tomorrow with me?” the elf asked. Abominal was hesitant at first, but accepted the offer. The next day Abominal, was with the elf he made friends with, they sat down and watch the reindeer race together.
