Chapter Six: It is quite understandable to wish every good thing while we are still alive, to savor the moment, breathe in life to its fullest.

 But the same cannot be said to every form of the undead. The light cannot shine on the dark without breaking its shell, and for life to see the dawn of light, it is imperative to open up this hardened cover. Each of us are dying inside, but not until our souls have been nourished by childish dreams and aspirations.

It is important to know, then, that the death within our hearts cannot escape when we avoid hurting, and suffering. Sacrifice is sanctifying, and worthy of every present possible; a rare gift, if you must. It breaks the utter darkness. If the undead were not trapped in this world, with their evil nature, they wouldn't commit to such tedious tasks of harming the children, making their tears break and produce the "vapor" of death, and continue to survive along the way.

These undead are also known as Vampires, but not as the vampire you might expect from obvious mythology who sucks blood from human beings. The undead has evolved throughout the years, and the race under consideration feed on the misery of children. The more suffering is induced, the more they eat and become fuller.

One of these vampires, called Henry Fuller, was the known leader of his people, but also, he was responsible for creating the Green Snokers. These green-colored creatures are very informed as to the structure and magic of the toys manufactured at the factory. They were made to assist the Vampires to catch their meal, and other matters that will lead into their ultimate goal.

Their goal was to return to the world they came from. And for that, they needed access to the Mirror on the Wall.

When Vampires get hungry, they must find a nice child to extract the vapors needed. This is what the Sinister Agent needed to do, to find a suitable child. The deadly the inducement, the sweeter the flavor is. As this food thickens the secretions in their own body, the undead solidifies their power. The Vampiric blood itself becomes immortal.

They are getting ready to take on Santa Claus and destroy the North Pole for good. They must steal the mirror and then go back home.
