Author's note: Sorry about the typos in the last chapter, I could have sworn I typed them right and even tried to fix them a million times. So it's probably just the website acting stupid. I apoligize though.
"Why is she alive?" Freddy paced around the boiler room. "How the fuck is she alive?" He grabbed his scrapbook of child victims and threw it across the room. He sat down, and picked up the one picture of Ashley.
"I killed her last night. And she's still alive?" Freddy threw the picture in the boiler, and watched it spit out flames.
After Freddy killed Ashley, he soon found out she was still alive in the "real world". He had decided it meant he was losing his powers. He needed to do something about it.
"There has to be someone." Freddy growled to himself. "Someone with similar powers…I can use them…"
He looked at the rusty boiler, waiting for a sign of what to do. Suddenly flames engulphed the whole boiler. Freddy just smiled. "That's right. Who's the lucky bitch who's going to help me get my powers back?"
As the flames died away there was a name written in ash on the side of the boiler. Freddy's smile faded. He walked up to make sure he was seeing it right. He traced the name with his claws, not beleiving what he saw. "Lori." He growled.

Lori Campbell woke up with a start. Damn alarm clock. She thought as she turned it off. She walked out of bed and pulled on some jeans and a tank top, then went to the mirror to brush her hair. As she did, her eyes fell to the scars on her chest. The horrible scars that would always remind her of what happened three years ago. Lori sighed and pulled on a tee shirt instead. She brushed her hair and walked down to the campus café. She had an early class today.
Lori sat down at a table with some coffee; she wasn't very hungry. She looked around the peaceful café, and smiled. She reached for her coffee and as soon as her hand touched it she pulled it back and jumped up. "Ow!" she screamed. The coffee wasn't just hot, it was scalding.
Lori looked around and realized everyone was staring at her. Her face turned red and she sat down. Stupid. She thought. Why did I make such a big deal over hot coffee?
But she knew why. The coffee was more than just hot. Lori hesitantly reached towards the cup again. It didn't send off any heat waves, so she touched it again. Normal temperature.
Lori let out a sigh of relief, when suddenly four very familiar razor sharp claws shot through the cup and she heard the laugh. Freddy's laugh. Lori screamed as loud as she could, when she felt hands on her shoulders shaking her.

"Lori! Lori, snap out of it!" Robin, Lori's roommate, yelled. Lori stopped screaming and looked up at her, blinking. Robin let out a breath. "Lori, thank god! I was so scared, what happened to you?" she said, her voice cracking.
Lori was still blinking like she didn't know what was going on. Finally she opened her mouth to say something. "I-I..." she stuttered, "I must have had a…nightmare." She said, clutching her heart.
"In the middle of the café?" Robin screeched. "You missed class, your professer is pissed. Not to mention you almost gave me a heart attack." She said.
"But, I only dozed off for a few minutes!" Lori argued.
Robin shook her head. "You were out for a couple hours." She comfirmed. She put her hand on Lori's shoulder. "I was really worried."
Lori shook her head, now completely aware of what was happening. "I'm sorry, Robin. It was just a dream, nothing really." She said. There was absolutely no way she could tell Robin about Freddy. She would think she was crazy.
Robin sighed. "Alright. Well I have to go." Robin lightly punched Lori in the arm. "And don't scare me so bad next time. I thought you were dying or something." Robin gave a half smile and walked away.
I could have been. Lori thought alarmingly, and ran to her dorm. She dug through her drawrs and pulled out her cell phone. She called the only person she knew could help her with this. Will.
"Hello?" Will's voice asked on the other line. Lori didn't realize how happy she would be to hear his voice.
"Will?" She said, just then realizing she was crying.
"Lori?" Will asked. "Is that you?"
Lori nodded her head, and then remembered that Will couldn't see her. "Yeah." She said.
"What's wrong? Are you crying?" Will asked sounding concerned.
"Yes!" Lori said, "I fell asleep in the café this morning." She wiped her eyes on her sleeve. "And I had a nightmare."
There was a long silence on Will's end. "A nightmare?" he finally asked. "You mean about…Freddy?"
Lori burst into tears. "I think he might be back, Will."
"How?" Will asked. "We killed him. Remember, he's dead."
"Well apparently he's not, because he tried to kill me this morning!" Lori screamed.
"Lori, calm down!" Will begged. "Look, I'm coming to your college. Be right there."
Lori sniffed. "I love you…"
"I love you too." Will said, and then hung up.
