Sean glanced back at the door as Dave, May, and Jay trudged on. “Dude, you locked the door right?” He yelled. “Of course I locked the door bro!!” Dave yelled back as he readjusted his weapons. “I’m just saying…it would suck to go one on the kickass quest, defy death, and save my family, just to come home and see that someone took all our stuff…or a smoked all of our weed. On second thought, I better check.” Sean replied as David and May chuckled. “Dudes!! Look!!” Jay shouted as he pointed to a snowman. “What? It’s a snowman babe…are you that high?” May asked her husband with a laugh. “That’s friggin brutal snowman! Props to whoever made it….” Sean said as he admired the large snowman. It had twisted tree branch arms that looked a LOT like actual arms, coal buttons, large coal eyes, a savage grin, and a tattered black top hat. As Sean watched, the snowman’s smile spread even wider, and its wooden arm slammed into his chest and launched him backwards, into another snowman. David cursed loudly and blew the snowman’s head into wet slushy pieces with his sawed off shotgun, as Jay smashed the head of the second snowman into bits with a nail-embedded billy club. Sean pulled his .357 Magum out and blew the head off of a third snowman that seemed to come from nowhere as May shoved her fist through another’s head as David cut one’s head in half. “They keep coming!!! What now?” Sean yelled as he smashed a snowman’s head in with the broken arm of a previous snowman. “RUN! TRUST ME! I GOT THIS!!” Jay yelled as he swung an assault rifle from his back to his front then began firing into the ever growing crowd of evil snowmen, David and May ran pass, helping Sean who was clutching his chest in pain. “DOOWN!!” Jay shouted as he tossed a hand grenade into the swarming snowmen, jumped, rolled, and landed beside Sean and the rest. The explosion blew a nearby car up, and launched chunks of snow into the air like frosty viscera. “Jay…” May panted. “That was incredibly badass…you are SO getting the buns later.” Jay smiled as Sean and David got up. “Come on, we have to go!” Sean said as he started walking. “Hold on bro, you okay?” David said as he blocked Sean with his arm. “I’m fine bro…now let’s go!” David stared at Sean skeptically. “Then show me.” Sean sighed and lifted his various layers to revealing a thick dark purplish red band across his chest and ribs, then quickly put his shirt down. “HOLY S**T SEAN! You have to go back, or get to a hospital!” May said as Sean sighed. “Look, I ain’t going back home, and I ain’t going to a hospital…you coming or not?” Sean said as he began tramping away.

“Look, I’m just saying that the Transformers had landed on Pandora instead of earth then everything would’ve been MUCH more kickass!” Sean exclaimed as he idly waved his machete to the beat of his snowy footsteps. “And I’M saying that would ruin BOTH of them movies!! Holy balls its cold.” May grimaced. “Hey Sean, how close are we to your mom’s house?” Jay asked through a cloud of cigarette smoke. “Not far man, just down this street and to the left.” Sean said as he squinted ahead. “Jeezus!! That’s a big a*s dog!! Hope it’s friendly…” Sean said as his friends head’s turned simultaneously, two piercing bright blue eyes shone in the dogs face and the temperature dropped several degrees. “Uhh…Sean..i don’t think that’s a dog.” May said before quickly reloaded her guns, more blue eyes opened, and then a large growl rolled through the ground, followed by a spine tingling roar. “IT’S THE WOLVES!!! RUN!!!” Jay shouted as he took off, Sean and the others followed him as the lead wolf gave a  long single howl, then the entire pack exploded after them, closing the gap fast. Sean jumped on a car, and then jumped from the car to a low overhang, then climbed onto a balcony from there. One of the wolves leapt on the car, smashing the windows out and then lunged for Sean, its frosty jaw wide open and filled to the brim with jagged icicle teeth. Sean screamed and shot it in the mouth, his scream rising and falling with every pull of the trigger, the ice wolf’s head exploded as another jumped through it’s body, shattering it and landed on the balcony. Sean turned to run and the wolf’s jaws clamped down on his backpack, it swung its head left and right trying to dislodge Sean. May crouched on an opposite rooftop with a high powered rifle; she took careful aim at the wolf. “SEAN!! GO LIMP!! GO LIMP!!” She shouted, Sean let his body go slack, and May smiled. A the gunshot could barely be heard over the snarling, barking, and yips as they fought for their lives, Sean fell on top of another wolf, quickly buried his machete in its icy skull, and jumped free as the beast rolled into it’s brethren, causing them to trip and forming a large pile up of frosty squirming bodies. Sean threw a grenade into the ice wolves and then ran. “Come on!!!!” He shouted as he beckoned to his friends, David punched the ice wolf in the face on last time, and then jumped off of it and followed May, Jay, and Sean down the street. The explosion could be heard but not felt as Sean ran to a jeep and shattered the window with the butt of his machete. He unlocked the door and hopped in the back as Jay hopped in the driver’s side and began messing around with wires. David glanced out of the back window and screamed. “HURRY HURRY HURRY JAY!!” Sean glanced back and saw the huge blue alpha wolf running towards them with the remainder of its pack. The jeep started and Jay peeled off, spinning slightly in the snow. The wolves began to fall behind and then sped up, as Sean smashed the back window with the butt of his magnum and then aim with May in the back seat, she fired twice, and dropped two wolves, then ducked down as she reloaded. Sean sat up and shot any wolf close enough while May reloaded, then shouted. “JAY!! BE CAREFUL ON THIS STREET!! SLIPPERY!!” Jay nodded as David passed out lit cigarettes. Suddenly a huge snow bank to the left exploded, launching chunks of ice and debris all around, the ground grew two layers of ice and the jeep began to spin in a total 360 several times before smashing into a snowed in truck. David climbed out of the ruined jeep holding his bleeding arm. “Everybody okay?” Sean fell out of the jeep, and spit out a mouthful of blood. “I’m good, just a cut in the mouth…” Jay pulled climbed out the driver’s side and massaged his nose; the bridge of it was split and bleeding. “I’m good, babe?” May climbed out of the jeep with a huff. “I’m fine…ooh…you guys got f*cked up!” She said as she stared at them. A loud roar from behind grabbed their attention, and they turned to see what looked to be huge white gorilla bear standing in between the wolves and the. Its fur resembled shaved ice, thick white-ish blue curved horns grew out of its head, and sharp white spines grew down its back. Its snow-white snout was full of curved icicles, and its strong handpaws ended in heavy razor sharp black claws. The ice wolf snarled then leaped onto it, as the other wolves began to run towards Sean and the rest, another snow bank exploded and creatures that looked like a smaller versions  of the snow bear thing leapt from them, tackling the wolves. “DUDE!!! IS THAT *CKING YETI??? ARE YOU SHITTING ME RIGHT NOW??” May asked in awe. “Let’s go!!” Sean shouted as he began to trudge through the snow, occasionally spitting out a mouthful of blood. “It’s *spit* not that far from here, just down that hill!”

“There…there it is.” Sean panted. “That’s…..that her house…” Sean said before falling to his hands and knees and throwing blood up. “Holy f*ck man! I knew you were hurt but I didn’t think that it was that bad!” David said as he helped Sean up. “Let’s go, we’re almost there buddy, stay with me.” Jay said as he and David helped Sean walk. May grinned, at least we beat all those monsters, nothing else can happen to-“ She was interrupted by a large white furred foot that slammed into her chest, launching into an nearby fence. “MAY!” Jay shouted, letting Sean go and opening fire on the white furred creature, hitting it several times as it ran towards him. It tackled him and then flipped, throwing him into the air, David sliced it’s arm off with Sean’s machete, and it roared, then planted a spinning roundhouse kick squarely on David’s jaw, sending him flying backwards too. The creature threw its black horned head in the air and roared. “WWEEEEEENNIIIGOOOO!!!” Sean shakily stood on two feet, and then readied himself to pull the pin on the last grenade. “Go!! Get to my family!!!” He yelled at May and the rest. “No!! we’ve come this far, come on bro!!” David yelled as Jay held him back. “No! Go man, let me die in a kickass way!!” Sean said as he flipped the pin on the grenade and threw a snowball at the creature as it was busily reattaching it’s arm., it turned and roared, Sean roared back and began to run. “WEEENNDIIGOO!!” It shouted. “You ain’t the only cannibal mother*cker!!” Sean said as he slid under the creature, and then dug his knife into the ice to stop. He jumped on the back of the creature and dug his blade in between the shoulder blades, it roared and he shoved the grenade in its mouth, then pulled his last knife out and stabbed it through the creatures jaw, holding it closed. The creature flailed and clawed at Sean, it’s black claws catching him more than once, then it’s upper body exploded, blowing Sean back against a frozen tree.

David sat his and Sean’s backpacks down, then knocked on the door Jay and May busily destroyed snow man monsters. Roxanna opened it quickly and they rushed inside. “Where’s Sean?” Roxanna asked worriedly as her baby brothers and her sister closed in. David swallowed hard, as May and Jay looked elsewhere. “He didn’t um…well…Sean's…” David stammered as tears began to fill his eyes. “Sean’s right here!! Now open the door! I’m freezing!” A muffled voice sounded from outside, Roxanna quickly wrenched the door open, and wrapped Sean in a tight hug, then pulled back and stared.  Sean’s had turned silver white, and his eyes were almost the same shade of white, his fingernails were black and curved and a fuzzy white tail swished around his ankles. “You look uhm…different…are you wearing make up??” Roxanna asked with wide eyes as Sean looked tried (unsuccessfully) to grab his tail. “No, but I got attacked by this thing…and I kinda took its place…Anny’s gonna freak when she finds out.” Sean mumbled as he continued the chase. May and Jay burst into laughter. “This is the most metal day EVER!” One of Sean’s baby brothers had successfully grabbed his tail and trying to pull it off. “Dude…Mama's going to freak out!” Roxanna said as she laughed with May. “Yes she will Rox, yes she will.” Sean said as he dislodged one baby brother, and another grabbed his tail.
