A/N: Hey guys, sorry this took so long. Lots happened to me this year, getting hit by a car being one of them. Got a lot of work to do, but I thought these next 11 pages would be a treat. Read and REVIEW!
INT. NANCY'S BEDROOM - NIGHT
Nancy's eyes open in her dark room. Her body covered by her big comforter.
She hears the sound of her name being called out in a feminine dragged out tone. The voice was faint; from outside the room.
UNRECOGNIZABLE VOICE
(V/O)
Nancy...
Nancy immediately sits up and looks at her bedroom door. She pulls the covers off of her and goes over to the door, slowly opening it and peeking out. She opens the door wider and walks out into the hallway.
Nancy hears her name again. She looks down the stairs and just sees the silhouette of someone leave her frame of view.
The front door opens.
NANCY
Mom?
Nancy slowly proceeds down the stairs. When she gets far enough down, she can see the bottom half of the door swing closed.
Again she hears her name called.
Nancy makes it to the bottom and goes over to the door, opening the door and running out.
Nancy finds herself running right in a dimly lit boiler room. She looks around and then looks back at her house - only it's no longer there!
In place of where Nancy's house was, just a second ago, is a door leading to another part of the boiler room. A staircase through the door similarly positioned to the way her house is.
The metal scratching echoes behind Nancy and she quickly turns around.
NANCY
Hello?
Nancy's name is called again. She continues walking forward in the direction of the voice.
NANCY
Whose there?
Nancy slowly continues to the end of the path and turns the corner behind a large boiler.
It's another long path, with Freddy's silhouette at the very end.
NANCY
Who are you?
Freddy says nothing, but laughs. He then starts slowly walking toward Nancy, scratching the metal walls with his bladed glove, revealing to Nancy the source of the reoccurring noise she's heard in her dreams.
Nancy watches him for a second, paralyzed with confusion, anxiety and curiosity.
He comes closer and Nancy can see more detail to him - especially his burned skin which Tina described to her.
Nancy shutters back and then starts running back down the path she came. Freddy's laughter sounds out.
Nancy runs through the door at the end of the path and up the staircase. As she starts up the stairs, she looks up to see Freddy waiting at the top.
Nancy screams and quickly turns around. Losing her footing, Nancy falls and just misses the quick swiping of Freddy's glove toward her face. Nancy falls down the stairs, but quickly pulls herself up.
Looking up the stairs, Nancy sees Freddy stepping down. She stands and begins running away.
She runs through the boiler room, looking back to see where Freddy is.
After running considerably far away, Nancy realizes that Freddy is no longer tailing her. She stops and looks around.
Nancy is standing in the exact same spot as the opening scene. Right behind Nancy is the open cyndrillic boiler that Tina crawled out of.
Nancy can hear the sound of water dripping near by. She notices the stairs right in front of her and slowly goes toward them.
She then hears the rhyme:
UNKNOWN CHILDREN
(V/O)
One two, Freddy's coming for you; Three four, better lock your door; Five six, grab your crucifix;
Echoing from behind her, Nancy stops and turns around. She walks toward the boiler to where the sound of childrens' voices are coming from.
UNKNOWN CHILDREN
(V/O)
Seven eight, better stay up late; Nine ten, never sleep...
Nancy looks into the dark.
FREDDY
A-GAIN!
Nancy screams as Freddy reaches out from the dark and rips Nancy into the pipe-like boiler, the circular door slamming shut behind her.
CUT TO:
INT. THE BOILER
In the blackness, Nancy wrestles around with Freddy who laughs, sadistically the entire time.
NANCY
No! No!
CUT TO:
INT. NANCY'S BEDROOM - NIGHT
Nancy lay in her bed in her dark room, whimpering and yelling in her sleep.
NANCY
No! No!
Nancy's mother comes running into her room, turning on the light switch. Her hair is all frizzy and her walking is nothing short of sloppy.
MARGE
Nancy!
She rushes over to Nancy's side and starts shaking her awake.
MARGE
Nancy, wake up! Wake up!
Marge successfully shakes Nancy out of her nightmare.
Nancy wakes up screaming and whaling. Marge shakes her again to calm her down.
Breathing heavily, Nancy finally calms, realizing that she is out of the nightmare and awake again.
MARGE
Oh my god! Nancy, your arm!
Nancy looks down at left arm. Right in the middle are four deep scratches, lightly bleeding.
Nancy looks at her mother in shock, saying nothing.
Marge grabs a nearby towel and wraps around Nancy's wound.
MARGE
Hold on, baby!
Marge speeds out of Nancy's room, presumably to the bathroom.
Nancy reaches over to her nightstand and grabs the framed photo of her and Tina and just looks at it. The camera zooms in on Tina's face.
CUT TO:
INT. NANCY'S HOUSE - KITCHEN - MORNING
Marge stands in the kitchen smoking a cigarette and talking on the phone.
MARGE
It's really hitting her hard. She's even having nightmares.
Nancy comes down the stairs wearing her pajamas. Hearing her mother on the phone in the kitchen, she slowly approaches.
MARGE
Last night, I ran into the room to her screaming in her sleep. When I woke her up, she had scratched her arm. No, it was bleeding and everything! I don't know. This is a lot for her to handle at her age.
Nancy comes into the kitchen and walks immediately over to the coffee pot and pulls out a mug from the cabinet above.
MARGE
I gotta go, Heather. I'll call you later.
Marge hangs up the phone and looks over at Nancy who is downing a cup of black coffee.
MARGE
Happy birthday, baby!
Marge walks over to Nancy and wraps her arms around her. Nancy does not hug her back, but continues to sip the coffee. Marge realizes this and walks over to her cup sitting on the other side of the counter.
MARGE
I thought you hated coffee?
Nancy doesn't respond.
MARGE
Anyway, I got your gift right here.
She opens one of the kitchen drawers and pulls out a small rectangular box with red and green striped wrapping paper. She walks back over and hands it to Nancy who is taking her last sip.
MARGE
Here you go, baby.
Nancy turns to look at the gift and reacts with shock and nervousness upon seeing the wrapping paper.
MARGE
Nancy, what's wrong?
Nancy looks at it for a second and slowly reaches for it. She rips off the wrapping paper and opens the box to find a bracelet.
Marge stands there with a sad smile on her face.
MARGE
Do you like it?
Nancy nods.
NANCY
Yes, Mom. Thank you.
Marge hugs and kisses Nancy's head.
MARGE
Things will get better, Nancy. You'll see. You're father said he would call you later. With everything going on, it's best that you just stay home and rest.
Nancy nods and goes to refill her mug with coffee.
Marge watches her take a sip of her coffee and then go back upstairs to her room.
Marge drags her cigarette.
CUT TO:
INT. NANCY'S BEDROOM
Nancy walks into her room, shutting the door behind her. She walks over to her desk where her cell phone is resting. Nancy puts the coffee mug down and picks up her phone.
She reads a text message from Glen: "Happy b-day, baby. Coming over after work."
Nancy musters up a brief smile before she reads the next text message. This one from Jesse: "See him?"
Nancy texts him back: "Not yet. Shortly."
Nancy puts her phone back down and quickly glances out the window. As she reaches for her coffee, she does a double take.
Out her bedroom window Nancy can see a squad car parked on the other side of the street, just sitting there with slightly tinted windows.
Nancy grabbed her coffee mug with one hand and closed her window blinds with the other.
She starts downing the rest of the coffee when Marge knocks and walks in at the same moment.
MARGE
Nancy?
NANCY
What?
MARGE
I started a hot bath for you.
NANCY
Uh, I was just gonna take a shower.
MARGE
A bath'll be good for you, Nancy. It'll relax you. Come on. I'll whip up some breakfest and it'll be done when you get out. We can eat together. Alright?
Marge put her hand through Nancy's hair and then turns and walks out.
Nancy divides two sets of shades and looks out her window to see the squad car still sitting in front.
CUT TO:
INT. THE BATHROOM
Nancy walks into the bathroom, takes off her clothes and then steps into the steaming bath slowly. As soon as she gets in, she pulls the rag blocking the drain and turns on the shower. The bath water belches as it is sucked down the drain. Nancy closes the shower doors and places the rag over the top of the water spout.
She begins washing, the bath water lowering below her knees. The rag slips over the side of the water spout and falls right back into the tub.
As Nancy rinses her hair, she starts having flashbacks of walking into the room to see Tina, covered in blood and laying on a blood-soaked mattress. The surrounding walls with blood spatter across them.
Nancy starts crying and breaks down in the shower. She doesn't realize the drain is clogged and the water is starting to fill the tub again.
Nancy puts her hand up against the wall of the shower and holds herself up as she weeps.
Out of the knee high water comes Freddy's gloved hand. He grabs her leg and pulls it forward, causing Nancy to fall back.
Nancy falls back into the water, going deep under the surface as if the floor of the bath tub fell out.
Underwater, Nancy frantically tries to pull herself back up toward the light. In the darkness below her she can hear Freddy's evil laughter as he pulls at her.
Nancy is able to pull herself from Freddy's grip and swims up to the surface.
She reaches the top and takes a deep breath before she is ripped back under.
Nancy kicks and swims as hard as she can, pulling herself free again and swimming toward the luminated surface.
Just as she reaches the top again, the scene flashes.
MARGE
Nancy!
Marge shakes Nancy who is laying in the bath water with the shower still running. Nancy immediately wakes up. She jumps up and pulls her face from beneath the water, taking a very deep breath.
In the right corner of Nancy's forehead is a fresh bruise beneath her hairline.
Marge grabs Nancy's head and takes a look at it.
MARGE
You fell and hit your head?
Nancy sits there breathing heavily. Marge wraps her arms around her wet daughter.
MARGE
Oh thank god! You know how many people get killed like that a year?
CUT TO:
INT. NANCY'S BEDROOM
Nancy calmly walks back into her bedroom wearing only a towel. She immediately walks over to her window and peaks through the shades again. The squad car remains.
Nancy's mother comes walking in.
MARGE
Are you alright?
NANCY
Yes, Mom. You asked me that three times since I got out of the tub. I'm fine!
MARGE
...Well, I burnt breakfest. But I'm gonna whip us up something right now. I'll call you down in a bit.
Nancy doesn't say anything. She just brushes her wet hair in the mirror.
Marge watches her for a second before leaving and closing the door behind her.
As soon as her mother leaves, Nancy quickly dresses. She puts on her slip on shoes and the goes out her bedroom door.
CUT TO:
INT. MARGE'S BEDROOM
Nancy comes walking into her mother's room. There is a full-size bed in the center of the room surrounded by two bureaus and a wall of windows on one side.
Nancy walks over to one of the windows, opens it and climbs out onto the roof on the side of the house.
She closes the window behind her.
CUT TO:
EXT. SIDE ALLEY OF NANCY'S HOUSE/BACKYARD - DAY
Nancy hangs her body from the roof and drops down to the cement ground on the side of her house.
She creaps toward the camera, toward the back of the house.
She peaks up and looks through a window to see her mother in the kitchen. Marge is standing over the stove with a cigarette lit in an ashtray on the counter. In her mother's hand is a clear bottle of vodka which she takes a chug of.
Nancy continues on into the backyard.
Nancy runs over to a tall wooden fence to which she immediately climbs over and jumps into the yard of the house behind her's.
Nancy takes off, having alluded her mother and the police.
CUT TO:
EXT. THE ABANDONED FACTORY - DAY
Nancy happens upon Rod's hideout - the same abandoned factory from her dream last night and Tina's dream at school.
She walks up to it slowly and cautiously. Coming up to the door, Nancy pauses, recognizing it with fear. Nancy goes to the door and knocks three times and then two times twice. A moment passes before the large metal door swings open, frightening Nancy. She turns to see Rod standing there. He pulls her in, before looking out for any spies.
ROD
Hurry up in!
He quickly swings the door closed. Nancy stands behind him, clearly tense and very uncomfortable - fear in her face. She could be with a dangerous murderer at the moment. Rod turned to her, breaking down into tears.
ROD
Nancy, thank you so much for coming!
He steps toward her for a hug, causing Nancy to jump back. Rod stops.
ROD
Nancy, I didn't kill her! You got to believe me!
Nancy shook her head, tears filling her heavy eyes.
NANCY
I'm sorry, Rod. I just...
ROD
Nancy, please! I need your help! Please!
NANCY
What do you want me to do?
ROD
You got to convince your father that it wasn't me.
NANCY
How Rod? You ran! You made yourself look guilty. How can anyone believe you didn't do it? The door was locked from your side!
Rod paced back and forth, shaking his head as if he were going crazy.
ROD
I was scared, Nancy. I robbed a jewelery store that night... but I swear, that was the only crime I committed that night!
NANCY
That's where you got the necklace... for Tina. My dad already knows it was you. And you look even guiltier by being the prime suspect in that case too!
He stops before Nancy, covers his eyes as he cries, shaking his head.
ROD
I didn't do it! I loved her! Please, Nancy...
Nancy walks over to him and hugs him, desperately wanting to believe her grieving friend.
