Flashback:

Emily recieved a letter and a package from Santa. She got some money in the package and the letter read that take some money and the sender will pick it up in 72 hours. Emily also tried to contact the number written on the letter and she found that a faint ring was heard outside her door....

At Christmas eve:

Emily had invited 4 friends over to her house. Emily had almost forgotten what had happened 2 days ago. She enjoyed with her friends, ate christmas treats and had lots of fun. She had also made a christmas cake. All friends were singing christmas carols. All the twinkling lights and happy atmosphere made the surroundings more warm and merry. Everyone was enjoying. 'We wish you a merry Christmas... we wish you a merry Christmas... we wish you a merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year!'
Suddenly, one of Emily's friends, Mary noticed that one of the lights suddenly switched off. When Emily heard this, she stood up and went to check the fuse. Then suddenly, she heard someone whisper: 'I am taking your friends..' One by one, all the lights started to switch off. Emily was terrified. She screamed. But then she gathered all her courage and switched on the lights again. But she saw that all her friends were gone...........
