Sam slowly began to regain consciousness. Her head was throbbing with pain and her vision was blurred, but she knew she had to act fast if she wanted to survive.She took a deep breath and looked around. She was in a dark and damp chamber filled with piles of bones and ancient, crumbling skeletons. She saw that she was tied to a chair and her heart sank as she realized the gravity of her situation. But she knew she had to keep her wits about her if she wanted to find a way out.

Using her intelligence and her determination, Sam began to piece together the information she had gathered about the monster Santa. She remembered the legends she had heard about the town being built on top of a graveyard and the stories of the children who had gone missing. She realized that the Santa monster was not just a creature of the cave, but also a manifestation of the town's dark past.As she pieced together the information, Sam noticed that the chamber was dimly lit by a small light coming from the small light. She realized that this small light could be coming from an exit of the cave.

Suddenly, she heard the sound of the monster Santa stirring, and she knew she had to act fast. She saw wax figurines of what looked like kids hanging around her and some floating from the ceiling. there were candles lit on the roof of the cave dripping melted wax on the figures. S he could not stomach the sight thus she started puking her guts out. The santa which the little girl had named ,Meanie saw this and started roaring with laughter.Sam started trembling an crying while pleading with the creature saying;

'Santa please release me I was a good girl!"

" I like good girls moreee", the creature replied with a roaring sound.

It the pointed on the figurines and told her she would be part of his collection when the moon reaches its peak. Sam knew she had a chance to escape and started formulating the plan in her head. She looked around frantically and saw a shard of bone within reach. she managed to grab it and started cutting her ropes. The monster heard a noise and turned to look at her, she felt panic and started pretending she was crying. the Monster was irritated by the noise and came over with menacing thudding steps. It raise its huge hand and slapped Sam on the face telling her to keep quiet. The slap was so powerful that Sam fell down on the chair. The bone fell out of her hand as she hit the ground. The monster Santa then proceeded to tie her back to the chair, tighter this time. Sam's head was ringing with pain and she felt disoriented, her vision was blurred and her hearing was muffled. She realized that the monster had slapped her so hard that she had lost her hearing temporarily.

Despite her injury and her weakened state, Sam refused to give up. She knew she had to find a way to escape before the monster Santa could hurt her again. She looked around frantically, searching for any way to break free.As she struggled, she saw the shard of bone that she had dropped earlier, lying just out of reach. She knew that if she could just reach it, she could use it to cut her ropes and escape. She the threw herself down with the chair knowing she could reach the bone at this angle.. The monster laughed and thought she was tripping and laughed it off. It the proceeded to sit on the chair to wait for the moon to reach the peak. A few minutes later Sam hear snoring and knew this was her chance.

" Santa! Santa!" she called out but the creature was down. Sam knew that she had to act fast and she didn't know for how long it would be out. She quickly grabbed the shard of bone and used it to cut her ropes, freeing herself from the chair.As she stood up, her head was still ringing and her vision was still blurred, but she knew she had to escape. She cautiously approached the monster Santa and made sure it was truly unconscious before taking a deep breath and making a run for it.

As Sam made her way out of the cave, she stepped on a loose bone and it made a loud crunching noise. She froze, her heart pounding in her chest as she waited for the monster Santa to react. But the creature stirred a little and she realized that it was truly unconscious. As Sam made her way out of the cave, she knew that leaving the monster Santa conscious would be a mistake. She knew that it would be a threat to other children if it was left alive. She thought about what she had to do, knowing it would be difficult, but it was the right thing to do.She looked around the cave and found a large rock, heavy enough to use as a weapon. She picked it up and made her way back to the chamber where the monster Santa was lying unconscious.

As she approached the monster, she felt a wave of fear and disgust wash over her. But she knew she had to act fast and decisively. She raised the rock above her head and with all her might, she brought it crashing down on the monster Santa's head.The creature let out a roar and lay still. Sam felt a sense of satisfaction knowing the creature would not wake before she escaped.

Sam navigated through the dark and damp cave using the small light as her guide. She could barely hear her own footsteps and her head was pounding with pain, but she pushed on, determined to escape. As she reached the entrance of the cave, she saw that it was blocked by large rocks, with only a small space of light visible through the opening. She felt a sense of despair wash over her as she realized that she was trapped.She knew that she had to find a way out, and fast. She looked around frantically, searching for any other way out. But the cave seemed to stretch on forever and she couldn't see any other exit.

As she was thinking, she heard the sound of rocks shifting and falling in the distance. She realized that the cave-in was not finished and the cave was still unstable. She knew she had to act fast before the cave collapsed completely.With renewed determination, she started to dig at the rocks with her hands, trying to create a larger opening. She worked tirelessly, her hands raw and bleeding, but she refused to give up.Finally, after what felt like hours, she managed to create a large enough opening to squeeze through. She crawled through the small space of light and emerged into the open air. She was free.Exhausted and covered in dirt and debris, she collapsed on the ground, tears of relief streaming down her face.She lay there for a while, catching her breath and processing the traumatic experience she just went through. She knew she had to tell her mother and brother what had happened, and work together to make sure the monster Santa never hurt anyone again.
