Chapter Eight

Christmas Eve Eve, 2010

Candy couldn’t believe it. The Christmas Eve’s Eve party had been a success. Over a hundred women had attended the party, held at The Wreath’s community center. A babysitting service had agreed to work with Bear Claw Bakery. The service took care of the kids in another hall while the moms all had a blast, having good food, non-alcoholic mocktails, and of course, partying with one sexy Santa.

Cain took his last pic of the night with one of the moms, the last one sticking around the party around eleven at night. Pandora showed the mom the way to the babysitter room. Cain brushed himself off and stretched. Sitting in the Santa chair had given him a cramp.

“How’d I do?” Cain asked Candy, who was clearing off a table near the chair.

“Not one woman left here without a smile on her face,” said Candy. “We wrapped up pretty early. What’re you going to do tonight?”

“Probably just call it a night,” said Cain.

“Really? I can’t sleep,” said Candy. “I’m too excited for Christmas.”

“Cain, come on,” said Krampus from the stage in the community center’s main hall. “I want to head back to the island.”

“Duty calls,” said Cain, leaving Candy and heading up to Krampus.

“Get changed,” said Krampus, taking Cain backstage. “You don’t have much time.”

“Wait, what?” asked Cain. “What’s —”

“Krampus thrust a snow globe into his hand before Cain could ask, ‘what’s going on?’” narrated Krampus, pulling a snow globe out of his pocket.

Before Cain could ask what was going on, Krampus pushed the snow globe into his hand. Cain was hit with a surge of energy. He swore he could smell minty hot chocolate and taste the scent of a freshly cut pine tree on his tongue.

“What was that?” asked Cain.

“You’ve done okay,” said Krampus. “I’m giving you your shift back — but just for tonight. Whatever you have to do, do it tonight.”

“No joke, I can use my bear again tonight?” asked Cain. “Back at Camp Kringle?”

“Kid, I don’t care where you use it, but I’m heading back to camp,” said Krampus.

“You mean…” started Cain.

“You do whatever you want out here, but, if I don’t find your ass in bed tomorrow morning, I’ll find your ass, then, I’ll tan it,” warned Krampus.

Cain got changed and headed back out to the community center hall, which had been cleaned from ceiling to floor.

“Pandora, you ready to go?” asked Jack. “I’ll walk you out.”

“Really? That’s nice of you,” said Pandora. “Yeah. Let’s go.”

“Avery, do you need someone to walk you home?” asked Krampus.

“Well, I don’t need it, but…it is a nice night, isn’t it?” asked Avery. “Sure. Let’s take a walk.”

That left Cain and Candy.

“Would you —” started Cain.

“Yes!” shouted Candy. “I mean…yes, Cain? What’s up?”

“Do you want me to walk you home?” asked Cain with a smile.

“That’d be nice,” said Candy. “I only live a few blocks away. Are you sure you won’t be too cold?”

“Trust me, I’ll be fine,” said Cain. “I’m a shifter. We run hot.”

The walk to Candy’s house was short.
