Chapter 1- Santa Bleeds
Due to Castle screaming so loudly when the lights were out, nobody would hear the muffled screams of Santa Claus..... not in time at least. As the others would find their way back from the stables, Noelle would be slightly mad at Double Trouble for impersonating her father and convincing her brother to leave. That being said, all and all, the walk back was otherwise very nice. The Elves would drag Ciri and Freddy back to the party, before going off to disappearing. Nobody would stop them from entering or leaving the party though.
Once they would arrive, the lights would find themselves to be back on, as Gabriel would walk back in. " Well, I found what the problem was. Someone struck the generator with lightning. I have no clue how that happened since those lovely charms were supposed to briefly neutralize your powers."
Noelle would look at the ground. " Yeah, about that. I thought it would be rude to take away what the guests came with.... so I may have not given them out. It just seemed being too overprotective."
" I think we might have a more pressing matter at the moment," Will replied, looking over and past Gabriel to where Santa was.
Pedro would look over at the ground. "I shouldn't have opened my mouth...… I didn't think anyone here could be so evil."
Malcolm would take a deep breath. "I can- people will be as dark as the world they live in and even your own family can do horrible things to you and other people. There is no way around it- the world is a terrible, crummy place, so murdering Santa doesn't seem too out of the ordinary to me. I'm going to examine the corpse and start to draw up a profile of our killer. I think it might be safe to say that anyone who had gone off after Noelle or gone to meet the elves, unless they can be super quick couldn't have killed him."
" Well, that rules out my brother Freddy and the woman he had been with the elves," Billy replied back to Malcolm.
" And also rules out Heartman, Double Trouble, Simon and our new friend who just arrived, they were at the stable when I was conversing with Nick."
" Where is Nick, dear?" Mrs.Claus asked.
Noelle would look at the ground for a moment. " He may have gone on a slight vacation..... and I know that looks bad.... since he is next in line now that dad is..." Noelle took a deep breath. " I'll fix this. Gabriel, can you tr-"
" It's in New York City, but I have no clue how you will get there without the sleigh."
" I believe I can be of some help, I got everyone here and can certainly make a portal to New York.... though I would rather not go myself. Got to help figure out Santa's killer."
" I'm going to stay behind and help with that footage to see about the cookie tamper and see if I can get the feed back up."
" As I previously mentioning, drawing up a killer profile, so I'll be staying here as well."
" New York is pretty big, but I figure I will be of more use there than here," Billy replied.
" I'll go with Billy to New York as well."
" I'll go to New York too," Freddy replied.
" I'll be staying as well.... we might need a back-up family member in case this gets out of control and the council decides to vote a new Santa in while you look for Nick."
" I'll stay so Gabriel doesn't get too power hungry."
An elderly elf would come out and look around.
"
Well, I'm going too. I know you will find trouble and someone is going to have to be responsible. I'm Polly, Noelle's elf nanny for all who want to know." It seemed the others had a choice to make. Would they be joining Noelle, Polly, Freddy, Billy and Pedro to find Nick in New York or help Malcolm, Mrs. Claus, Will, Gabriel and Nutmeg solve Santa's murder?

Gabriella went to take a look at Santa's body for a moment, trying to see what kind of wounds he might have sustained. If there was any blood, however, she'd cover her nose and take a step back from the body.
"While I'm glad you ruled me out of the list of potential suspects I'd like to vouch for Gabriella, she wouldn't do such a thing." Simon spoke up.
"Simon's a delicate man, him doing something like this would be a surprise and something out of character... he's a bit if a coward, in all honesty." Gabriella spoke up, and heard Simon chuckle when she called him a coward but didn't seem upset by it.
"As for myself, this is a waste of time and blood if you asked me, besides I don't like to kill." She added, deciding to leave the 'if I don't have to' to herself. Besides, the old man didn't provoke her in any way, or try to harm Simon so far.
