Seeing Beyond the Burns

by Fictionlover1194

Set after the fifth film. Alice has died and her friend Elizabeth is the only one left. Elizabeth is different from other kids her age. She doesn't judge people right away, she looks for what's on the inside. So that's what she did when she met Freddy Krueger. Note that this is tagged as a romance. If that isn't your thing, DON'T READ IT! Flames will be deleted.

1. Prologue

A/N: Hi, so this is my first NOES fic, so sorry if it comes out a bit bad. I don't own NOES, I just play with the characters for my amusement.

Elizabeth's POV:

I'm sitting with my parents at a funeral. It's my friend Alice's funeral. It's been a year since she defeated Freddy. None of the parents believed her, none of our classmates believed her either. I did, I was with her through the whole thing.

It was jus finishing up now and the coffin is being carried out of the church. I follow my parents outside and see Dan's mother standing there with Jacob. Dan had gone before Alice. I walk up to her and gave her my condolences. She tries to smile, but I can tell it's forced. I heard at school the other day that she's planning on moving out of town. Probably a great idea, all things considered.

I feel kind of numb inside, like I'm just going through the motions. I go to the cemetery, watch them put her in the ground. I try not to cry, I don't cry. If I do cry, it's definitely not in front of other people, except maybe my best friend Faith.

We're home and I just feel se drained all I want to do is sleep, Freddy be damned. I'm halfway up the stairs when I hear my mother's voice.

"It's going to be time for dinner in half an hour Elizabeth." She says.

"Not hungry." I mumble back.

She gives me a small nod. "Well, I'll set a plate aside for you in case you want to eat later."

"Okay." I respond, barely above a whisper. I make my way to my room, close the door and drop onto my bed. I fall asleep immediately.

I'm standing in a boiler room. My body goes rigid and tense. I know what this means. I heard enough stories from Alice to know exactly where I am. I'm in Freddy's boiler room. Strangely though, I don't see Freddy.

I start walking around trying to find a way out. This place is like a maze of endless walkways and pipes. Then I hear it, a low chuckle echoing through the boiler room.

"Come to Freddy." He says.

I turn around and see a shadow moving towards me from around the corner. I see the outline of a man wearing a fedora; he has long knives on his right hand. He's Freddy Krueger.

I jolt up in bed, covered in sweat. I look at my clock and breath a sigh of relief. It's 6:30 in the morning; I can get ready for school.

A/N: Please R&R!
