Skye: We est back! And with a vengance! XD

Phoenix: Nah, we're just back with the next chapter. Muaha! And we need to explain. It takes Freddy time to love Leah. Also, we had to use the "Welcome to my world, bitch" line. It was a must-have. Also, to be clear, Leah is single.

I guess I got bored and that's why I fell asleep.

My mother and dad were going on a little holiday and they wouldn't be back for about three weeks. I thought that being in the house alone would give me more stuff to do but I soon realised that there was nothing terribly exciting to do.

Anyway, I was dreaming. I was in a boiler room. The lights were all red and everything was made of metal, except me. It was really hot in there and I was confused.

I stood up and walked forwards.

"Leah!"

The voice was quick. It was male and had a very strange, echoey distortion with an added roar.

"Who's there?" I asked.

Something jumped out at me. I yelped and jumped backwards, crashing into a big tank and falling over. I looked up at the man that towered above me. He matched Drakes description of Freddy Krueger to a tee. He started walking towards me. I shuffled away on my elbows and my head collided with the metal tank.

"Get away from me!" I yelled.

"Come to Freddy!"

He raised his right hand. It was the hand with claws.

"No, please!" I screamed.

I didn't feel the blades penetrate my arm as I had expected but I did feel his hand close around my wrist. He yanked me up to my feet.

"Let me go! Please!" I begged him.

"Oh, shut up!"

I pulled away with all my might and went flying over a railing. I landed hard on my back. I groaned as I stood up. I looked up. He was running down the stairs after me. I looked around frantically and ran up through a corridor. But he was ahead of me and he stopped me. He slashed at my face and I raised my arm to protect myself. I gasped in pain.

"Did that hurt?" he asked in a mock child voice. "Welcome to my world, bitch!"

Hang on a second...bitch?

I ran for him but he tripped me up. I rolled over, then he was on top of me. You can imagine what I was thinking.

"No!" I screamed, trying to push him off.

"You see how easy it is to work out what people are scared of?" Krueger laughed.

He leaned in, opening his mouth. His breath was putrid. I was like burning flesh and rotting fish and all the horrible smells combined. His tongue was all black and decayed. I opened my mouth to scream but that was a huge mistake. He shoved his tongue into my mouth. I felt like I was going to be sick.

I couldn't breathe.

I looked to the side and he averted from kissing my mouth (I say kissing...kissing is nice and he was like...mouth raping me) to my neck and shoulder.

"Stop it!" I cried, a tear rolling down my face.

I tried to roll over and succeeded in getting him off me. I jumped to my feet. He pulled me down again and loomed over me.

"I'm going to make sure you never wake up!"

I screamed as he brought the blades down.

I was sitting bolt upright in bed, screaming. Someone was knocking on the door. Blood was covering my bed. I stopped screaming, panting. With shaking fingers, I touched my arm. the cuts were real. I touched my neck. His saliva was still there.

"Hello!? Leah?!"

I jumped out of bed, covering my arm with my hand. I ran downstairs and opened the door. It was Drake and Elisa.

"Leah, we heard screaming! Are you okay?" Elisa asked.

"Um...y-yeah," I panted. "I just had a bad dream."

Elisa looked worridly up at Drake who was staring at my arm.

"What's that?" he demanded.

"Nothing!" I said quickly.

"Leah, let me see it," he said darkly.

I closed the door a little so that they could only see my face.

"No," I said.

With strength I didn't know that he had, he pushed the door open and stormed inside.

"Get out!" I said, my voice shaking.

I backed into a wall.

"Drake, leave her alone," Elisa said wearily.

She was about to step over the threshold, but he slammed the door shut and locked it. He turned back to me and started walking, very fast, towards me. I was scared. I knew what he was capable of and hadn't I just escaped one nightmare?

"Drake, it's just a little scratch," I panicked.

He yanked my arm up and examined it. Then he squinted at my neck and touched it lightly. Pulling his hand away, I saw Freddy's saliva on his fingers. I wiped my neck quickly. He dropped my arm and I went back to stemming the blood flow with my hand.

"Leah...did he...he didn't...did he?" he asked, fear in his eyes for the first time ever.

"What do you me-oh..."

As they say, the penny dropped.

"No, I didn't let him," I said quietly, realising I was crying.

Drake exhaled in a huge sigh of relief and pulled me into a bone-crushing hug.

"Thank God. If anything happened to you I'd-"

"What?" I asked.

He didn't answer me, just breathed in the smell of my hair. He was supporting my head with one hand, his fingers twisting through my hair, and the other was supporting my back and I realised why. My legs were shaking and I wasn't able to support my own body weight.

He dropped to his knees, pulling me down with him. I tried to wriggle free of his grip but to no avail.

"Drake, let me go," I said quietly.

He ignored me again. I closed my eyes but only saw his face. Freddy's twisted and burned face. The feel of his cracked, rotting lips and his decayed tongue in my mouth.

I retched.

Drake released me and I vomited.

He put a hand on my back.

"Drake, I'm so sorry that I laughed at you guys! I didn't think it was real but now it is real and I'm gonna die and-!"

"Hey!" he said, suddenly stern again. "You are not going to die. You can beat this son of a bitch because me and Elisa are going to help you!"

"How?" I asked bleakly.

"I'm not sure...but we will beat him!"

He pulled me to my feet again and headed to the door where Elisa was still banging.

"Wait..." he stopped. "What if he comes back?"

He continued walking and opened the door.

"Leah is fine. You can go home now," he said.

"What about you?" Elisa asked.

"I'm staying with her."

With that, he closed and locked the door. He tended to my arm and lay beside me in bed.

"Will you wake me up if I'm having a bad dream?" I asked, noticing how vulnerable and childish my voice sounded.

He smiled a cute, lopsided smile and then shocked me...by kissing me very lightly so that I hardly felt it, on the forehead. I smiled up at him.

Skye: This chapter was a LOT longer than the last...oh well. XD

Phoenix: Anyway, please forgive us for what happens at the start of the next chapter. It had to be added in to show her fear.

Skye: Now please reveiw!
