Original Christmas Song Name: O Holy Night
Parody Christmas Song Name & Lyrics:

“O Scary Night”

O scary night! The screams are loudly ringing,
It is the night of the black monster's birth.
Long lay the land in joy and rapture yearning.
Till he appeared and the soul fell to murk.
A thrill of killing the fearful world laments,
For yonder breaks a dark and sorrowful morn.
Fall on your knees! Oh, hear the walker voices!
O night unholy, the night when murder roamed;
O night, O evil night, O night immoral!
O night, O evil night, O night immoral!

Led by the shadow of violence silently craving,
With bloodied pelt by your herds he hunts.
O'er the world a star is softly wailing,
Now come the victims from out of the tents and land.
The demon’s heart no longer touched by brightness;
In all your trials born to be your end.
He knows your path, your weakness is no stranger,
Behold your end! Before him flee and cow’r!
Behold your end! Before him flee and cow’r!

Truly he taught all to dread the breaking dawn,
His law is demise and his motto is hate.
Chains he shall forge, for the terror is his treat.
And in his game all oppression shall increase.
Bitter pleas of mercy in hopeful chorus raise thee,
With all your hearts pray for blissful peace.
Death is near! Let eternal rest encase thee,
His power and fury ever more proclaim!
His power and fury ever more proclaim!

Feline's Name: Meikeno
Feline's Personality & History:
Meikeno was born from a fine clan of mountain cats. His mother had been a humble cat, while his father was strong, and proud. Meikeno on the other hand was nothing like his clan, he tended to bumble things, and was rather to curious for his own good. As a child his mother was constantly having to pull him out of scrapes. His siblings were rather upset most of the time, thinking he got special attention. Meikeno ended up being disliked by his own sibling. His father began to feel ashamed for breeding such a son. It was not long before the poor boy was abandoned and exiles by his family and clan. Sent far away, he had to learn to take care of himself, and to adjust to being solely alone.
Feline's Last Day: After being pushed out by his clan and family Meikeno was slowly falling into a depressed state. He was rather clumsy when it came to hunting, which resulted in constantly finding himself hungry. It seemed this would be his last of worrying about this.
Meikeno had been sitting by a stream, the sun streaming down and glistening off the water. The animals around him were busy playing and singing the songs of their kind. The poor feline was in the process of trying to snag a fish out of the little steam...as of yet, he was unsuccessful. By the time he had begun to give up the sun was just setting. An eerie glow of red and yellow was stretched across the horizon. At that moment Meikeno also realized that the forest had grown deadly quiet. He dipped his muzzled into the water to take a quick drink, before heading off. A quick sound caught his attention and his eyes rose up. Just then a large silhouette caught his attention.
Standing in the shadows of the dying sun was a massive creature. It much taller than the feline. Steam poured out of the creatures nostrils are it stood at the other edge of the bank staring him down. Pure fear rippled through the feline's body. No, no, something was defiantly wrong.
He took the chance to look up far enough into the creatures eyes. There, that is when he seen it...dark endless depths of blackness.....
