"Come in." Ted said.
There was no response. Ted got up and opened the door. There was no one there. Ted heard a loud crash downstairs.
"Hello?" called Ted.
There was no reply. Ted went back in his room and grabbed his baseball bat. He walked over to his parents' room and banged on the door.
"Mom, Dad I think we have a burglar." said Ted.
Ted heard another loud crash downstairs. Ted sighed, tightened his grip on the bat and walked downstairs. Everything seemed normal at first, but then the front door swung open. Ted was ready to strike, but no one was there. Ted cautiously walked over to the door, ready to hit anything that might jump out. Ted took a step outside and saw three little girls playing jump-rope in his lawn. They were singing some kind of song.
"One, two Freddy's coming for you. Three, four better lock you door. " sang the little girls in unison.
"Um…" started Ted "were you playing in my house?"
The girls ignored him and continued to sing. "Five, six grab you crucifix. Seven, eight better stay up late. Nine, ten never sleep again."
Ted was confused as to what was going on, but he decided to go back inside. Ted turned around to see a man who was obviously burned wearing a Christmas sweater and a brown hat standing in the front door of his house.
"Hey Ted." said the man casually.
Ted notice that the man had knives attached to his fingers on his right hand. Ted swung at the man with his bat. The man caught the bat and wrestled it away from Ted. The man then threw the bat far away so Ted couldn't get to it.
"Come on Ted," said the man. "Don't be difficult."
It was at this point Ted kicked the man in the groin, causing him to fall to the ground. Ted rushed past him into the house, locking the front door. Ted ran upstairs screaming "Mom, Dad call the cops. Ted heard the front door get broken down, and saw the man walk through into the house. Ted hurried to his room, locking the door and barricading it with his dresser. Ted stood back breathing heavily. He saw the doorknob start to shake like someone was trying to get in.
"Go away!" yelled Ted. Just then the doorknob stopped shaking, and Ted could hear footsteps going downstairs.
Ted stood there in relief, when all of a sudden the sheets from his bed wrapped them selves around his ankles causing Ted to fall to the floor. The other end of the sheets floated up and tied itself to the ceiling fan, leaving Ted tangling from the ceiling. Then the burned man rose out of the floor in front of Ted. Ted saw him and started to cry.
"Oh Ted, I thought you were going to mess me up?" asked the man.
"Mess you up?" Ted repeated, when suddenly he realized who the man was. "You're that dude, that, that Samantha was t-talking about."
The man chuckled. "That's right."
"Fr-Freddy Cougar!" stuttered Ted.
"No!" said Freddy "It's Kruger! And don't you forget it!"
"I'm sorry, please-," cried Ted. "Just don't hurt me."
"Ted my boy," responded Freddy. "I want you to do something for me."
"Yes anything!" said Ted. "Just please don't kill me."
"Ha!" Freddy said "I want you to tell Gotham that Freddy's here, and he's here to stay."
"Yeah sure anything!" replied Ted.
"Hmmm…" said Freddy "On second thought I'll just write them a note." Just then Freddy dug his claw into Ted's chest. Ted screamed in pain.
Samantha woke up in her bed. She had a rough night and had barely gotten any sleep. On the bright side she wasn't dreaming about Freddy, so it was kind of a win-win.
Samantha got up and went to the bathroom. She turned on the lights and went to the mirror. To her shock she saw a bloody Ted standing behind her. She twirled around and saw nothing. When she looked back in the mirror she didn't see her reflection, but Freddy Kruger staring back at her.
"I just wanted to say thanks Samantha; I couldn't have done it with out you."
"Done… what?" Samantha asked in shock.
"You spread the fear Sammy," replied Freddy. "Now it won't be long till everyone in Gotham knows my name. And you know what that means."
Samantha sat there in silence.
"It'll be like an all you can eat buffet!" said Freddy as he began to laugh manically.
Samantha sat up in bed; she was drenched in cold sweat. She had awaken due to and ambulance rushing by her window. Samantha something terrible must have happened.
