Hallo I posted this story before, but I removed it and started again, cause I got a new idea that I just liked better. I had no idea where it came from, it just came to me and I love it. I hope you will too. It's about the same girl with the same abilities, but the plot may be different than I originally planned.

I do not own anything except for characters you don't recognise.

Update: Due to the reviews, this chapter was remade again. I hope this version is better. :-)

Chapter 1

about 10 years ago

A little girl, not older than ten years. She had a long, soft blonde hair and shiny blue eyes, that gleemed slightly in the darkness she was currently in. She didn't know where she was or how did she get there, the only thing she remembered was the park. She was playing with the dog, the old family dog Max. Max was a Bordeauxdog, he was big and strong, but always so gentle with the little girl. And she was little, smaller than the other children in the school.

She remembered chasing the dog around, but of course, Max was a lot faster then she was. The dog ran into the bushes, and she followed him. She heard her mother calling to her to come back, but she really wanted to catch the dog, and she didn't listen. Suddenly, she stopped and looked around. She couldn't hear the dog anymore, and there was silence around her. She tried to pick out any sound that would tell her which way to go, when suddenly, something grabbed her and then it was only darkness.

She woke up alone in a very unfamiliar surroundings. It was very hot in here, but she could hear the sounds of dripping water somewhere. It was dark, but a dim light was protruding from windows she knew that had to be there. It looked like she was alone, but her child instincts could feel that there was something evil here with her. Long before it was confirmed when she heard a low, but menacing laugh, and then, someone called her name. And that someone was getting closer.

She didn't have to be much smart to know that she was in a grave danger. She got up on her legs and as quickly, as she could, she ran from the voice. Running a metal steps on a high platform, she stopped dead in her tracks, when she heard him speak again. "You can run, but you can't hide, little piggy!" she heard in an unpleasantly short distance. "What about a little game of hide and seek?" the person asked in a mocking tone, that nearly chiller the little child's bones. And then she heard footsteps. She almost stopped breathing when she hid behind a huge object, hissing like it was filled with boiling water. It was unbearibly hot in there, but she knew she had to stay in hiding.

She heard the man slowly walking up the steps, and she started shaking in fear. A drop of sweat was trickling down her face, along with tears that were forming in her eyes. She heard him moving closer, and she knew that he was gonna find her. She caught a glimpse of a red and green striped sweather. "Come to Freddy." She closed her eyes and then, as he was passing her, she jumped from behind the boiler and leaped on him. She just wanted to push him down, hit him so she could try and run away. The man was taken by surprise, and he landed on the railing. And old and rusty railing. Suddenly, as he was falling, a crashing sound has been heard as the railing gave away.

She was running away, when she heard the man, the monster that was chasing her scream and as she turned, she saw him hanging from the platform above a few meters drop. She looked down and realised, that if he would fall down now, he would surely die. Immediately, she stopped, rooted to the spot where she was standing, torned between two emotions. She was terrified of that man, she knew she should be, but on the other hand, she wasn't a bad girl and this man was in trouble. But what could she do? She wasn't strong enough to pull him out. But she didn't have to wait long for the answer. Suddenly, she heard barking in a distance, and a loud thunder of paws on the metal floor. She whirled around to see her faithful hound running towards her, and in a second the dog was licking her face, happy that he found his yound friend.

But that didn't stopped the girl from thinking about the man, struggling to get out of his situation. She looked at him, and then on her strong dog. Suddenly, she gripped the dog's collar and pulled him forward.

...

Freddy Krueger was hanging above an open fall. "Shit." he thought, as he tried to pull up, but there was really nothing much to hold to. The railing that he falled on was rusty as hell, and it all fell down, awaiting him to join it. He growled. That little bitch must already ran off, but he will catch her when he get up, and then she will pay for this. With her crimson blood that would be spilled all over the little blue dress she was wearing. He really shouln't have left her in the open like this, he just thought that it would fun to play with her for a while, like a cat is playing with a mouse. But this seriously wasn't part of the game. He was sweating, it was easy to hold on with the glove on his hand. He tried to grip on the metal, but it was slipping out of his fingers, and he was becoming weaker.

Suddenly, he heard a dog barking. It was soft at first, but then it grew louder. Great, so the dog came searching for her. He knew he should have killer the bastard, well, that could be easily fixed right now. But then he heard a gentle footsteps of a little feet and four paws and when he looked up, he could see the little girl above him, her dog standing in front of her. What the hell?

...

She was still slightly hesitating. What if he will hurt her even that she helped him? But she knew she had to help him, she probably wouldn't be able to forgive herself if she wouldn't. "Don't worry, sir." she said. "Max will get you out of this." she said and looked at him. In the dark, she really didn't see his features, but she could see two piercing, icy blue eyes. The shadow of his brown hat was covering the rest of his face. He didn't say anything, just staring at her. It seemed to her that he was slightly shocked. Suddenly, she saw his hands shaking and she remembered she cannot lose any more time. She turned to her dog and whispered a command. The hound just looked on the man, and then obeyed. He lowered himself down, carefully avoiding the blades on the man's right hand, and gripped tightly on his sweather. She backed off, as her dog used all his strenght to slowly pull the man out of danger.

But that was the moment, when her fear suddenly took over her. She knew that the man was a killer and he would not care that she saved his life. As the dog was pulling him up, she was slowly backing away, and now she turned around and ran as fast as she could, before he even had a chance to stand up. She had no idea how did she managed to find the door out of here, nor why it was not locked, but she opened them and quickly, she ran across the large, dusty courtyard. She could see the water tower in a distance, and she knew that she would be able to find her home from there. But as she arrived to the end of the power plant property, she suddenly realised that her dog wasn't with her. She whirled around, but the hound was nowhere in sight. She couldn't go back, there was no chance for her to go back. Her eyes filled with sudden tears as she realised that her dog was probably dead. That he sacrificed himself in an attempt to protect her, so she could escape. She screamed in her desperation and ran home as fast as she could, making sure she's not seen.

...

As soon as he was able to stand up, Freddy Krueger flexed his glove and looked towards the spot where the girl was standing when he realised she was gone. He growled angrily and started after her, but the dog that saved him a minute ago, sensed the danger the little girl was in, and in a quick, swift motion, he caught his right hand in his jaws, right above the glove. He roared in pain and started shaking the dog, trying to throw him off, but the brave animal was strong, and was not going to let go so easily. So, collecting his strenght, Freddy slamed the dog's body into the boiler next to him, and once again, until the dog let loose of his hand. But the dog wasn't dead yet. Growling, the giant mastif jumped back on his legs, and leaped on him again, showing his blodied fangs. But as the animal was flying though the air, Freddy ducked to the side and with one quick slash he tore the side of the dog like a paper. The animal yelped in pain loudly, but the sound was consumed by the hissing of the boilers. Roughtly covering the wound with a piece of cloth from his own shirt, he took the dead animal and threw him in one of the boilers, and with an angry kick he closed the metal door. The girl would be miles away by now, thanks to this stupid pouch. But he was sure she couldn't recognise him. He will finish the job later, and this one would be killed in a most special way. Maybe he will kill her the same way he killed her dog. When she will be vulnerable again... Oh yes, he smirked, he will finish this girl later, give her a few weeks of false security. It was always good to see how shocking a new murder was for this town.

a few weeks later

Freddy Krueger was slowly being led into the Springwood courtroom, a silent, almost unmoving figure, and the current object of everyone's hate. Ever since he strangled his wife, Loretta, in the backyard that day, everything started to fall apart for him. He should have sensed it falling apart. He should have known. Everything could be fine, everything could work just as it was before, if that bitch would not go snooping around where she shouldn't. She should have been smarter.

And his daughter, the only living thing he only, truly loved... she betrayed him, after she promised that she won't. He knew, they told him. Smiling while they were speaking. They only got a cold stare as an answer. That damned girl was standing there as well, waiting to be let inside as a witness, with two women from the orphanage she was about to be sent to after this. He wasn't looking at anybody, until he thought he saw a glimpse of a familiar face. Then he felt eyes on himself and he raised his head to look in two blue eyes, filled with something. A recognition. He knew she recognised him now. He smiled at her, a wicked, evil smile.

...

The girl that he was adressing, a little Kaelen Ward, quickly averted her eyes and looked away. Her mother, Jannet Ward, was standing beside her, holding her hand around her shoulders protectively. As a kid, Kaelen wasn't allowed into the courtroom, and she didn't even wanted to, but still, she told her mother that she wanted to see him. Her mother told her before about the Springwood Slasher, and looking at him now, she recognised him immediately as the man who nearly killed her three weeks ago and she was amazed. That means she was the only one who survived!

But her mother didn't know that. She never told her where she was or what happened. To lie to her mother that she ran too far and got lost when she was looking for the dog, it wasn't easy. Fortunately, she found out that she wasn't gone for long, and after a while, her mother believed her, or rather, she realised that she will not get anything else out of her daughter.

...

Jannet embraced her little child when she saw the look she received from the monster. She glared with such hate on him it could almost burn a hole into his head. Here he was, standing with such pride even that he was about to be sentenced to death, hopefully. She couldn't imagine anything worse than a man killing innocent children. A week ago, when his wife went missing, it raised a suspitions of many in Springwood, but no one was expecting this. But the proof was there, in his own cellar. Later, the police were searching in the old Power Plant, and they found the remains of the missing children. Fred Krueger, the father of the little Katherine Krueger, was the Springwood Slasher. Just then, his figure vanished behind the close door. She didn't want to go there either, listening to all the sick details of what he had done. She just took Kaelen's little hand in hers and took her home, away from that place.
