"You're going to regret ever coming here, human," Santa said, then the door to the room opened and three elves walked in, carrying a large candy cane (maybe three to four feet long). At first, it looked like just a normal red and white candy cane (despite its size), but on closer inspection, Jon was able to see small jagged spikes poking out from it. If he was hit by it ...
"You can't hit me with that!"
"Oh, but I can," Santa said, chuckling. But Jon saw nothing humorous about this. "Elves! Bring it to me," he ordered.
"Yes, Master," they said, walking in his direction.
Jon looked over at the door. It was still open. If he was quick enough, he could escape and try to get out of this madhouse.
But then he remembered. He had the stone! He could just wish his way out of this.
He turned and saw that Santa was now holding the candy cane. It was now or never.
