Amanda Krueger-Williams set her tea cup down. She reached for her bottle of hypnocil, the drug that she had been taking for the past three years. "It has been three years since grandfather and I defeated him. These pills are entirely pointless." Amanda said aloud.

Since the events of three years prior Amanda and Ash had moved back to Ash and Maggie's home in Derry Maine. She had a nice life for herself, a loving father figure, a great no commitment relationship with a man named Nash Grant, a job as a nurse that she loved. Nursing didn't pay all too well but it was in Amanda's very nature to help those in need,

Amanda pulled the covers back and climbed into her bed. As soon as her head hit the pillow she was asleep. She began to dream, her first in many years. She was back in Westin Hills, in Ash's old room where her mother Jenna thoughtlessly threw Ash to further his torment. She was alone a drop of blood hit the floor, the floor began to glow green and slowly fade into red. A gloved hand, followed by the maniacal laughter of Freddy Krueger, Amanda's great grandfather and brother crept out of the floor. She shot up in her bed screaming so loudly Ash came running.

"What's wrong baby?"

"He's coming back, I saw it. Our years of peace are at an end." Amanda said breathlessly.

"That's not possible, you and I both know that he's gone for good. Now. Stop worrying, take your hypnocil this time and go to bed, you have an early day tomorrow."

"You're probably right gramps"

"Don't ever call me that, I do have a name."

"Good-night Ashely"

"Pain in my ass"

The next day after work Amanda came storming into the house slammed the door.

"What's wrong?"

"That dream is still bothering me"

"Just tell me about it you might feel better"

"I was back at Westin Hills, in your old room. I see a drop of blood hit the ground, it glows red and green, a hand comes out with laughter. It was his hand his laugh. I then woke up. I know he'll come back, he found a way."

"Check the book, maybe there are answers in it, maybe a backdoor or window he could possibly crawl into out world through."

"Good idea Ashley, I'll read it in my room"

"Amanda went to the wall safe where the Necronomicon was held, she put in the code 8-9-8-5. She took it into her room. In it she hoped to find an answer. She skimmed the book reading to herself. "...he who falls from the sky, no that was Ash...a child of light and dark, no that doesn't help... blood of fear and pain spilled at the sight of the demons destruction will reawaken the restless one, A-HA. There it is" Amanda ran to Ash and told him what she had found.

"We have to go back, I never wanted to go back but we must."

"I agree Ashely, I'll say goodbye to out peace first then we'll leave."

"I will too, Libby's not going to like it but she'll understand."

Two days later Amanda and Ash were setting off from Derry to Springwood in his old beat up Delta 88.

"What did Nash say when you said goodbye? Libby was a bit pissed off"

"I don't want to talk about it Ashley"

"What did he say?"

"I love you"

"Why is that so bad baby?"

"I told him not to fall in love with me. I told him I never wanted to be in love."

"Why so burned on love?"

"Look what falling in love did to my father. He fell for my bitch of a mother and what did she do to thank him? She killed him and took his children. Love is pain and I don't want anymore pain in my life!"

"Baby, you have to chance it. Even after losing Linda, Annie, and Shelia, I took a chance on Maggie and it worked for us. You must remember love isn't a burden or a curse it is a gift. You have to open up or else you'll never be truly alive."

"Pretty lies to get you to reproduce and a mother is the last thing I want to be."

"I'm sorry baby"

"I just want to kill this bastard AGAIN and be back home."

"We should arrive within the next twenty-two hours, get some sleep"

"Fine!"
