Chapter 4
I closed my eyes and growled, stupid boy...how did you know where I lived? I could still hear Mylo apolgizing, digging my nails into the door I took a deep breath and opened it.
Mylo stood there with his hands in his pockets with an apolgetic face. Facing him I asked "how did you know where I live?"
He smiled "I asked around the school-but people stared at me funny when asked about you."
I chuckled "doesn't surprise me."
"Listen October, I'm sorry for offending you today at lunch. Your name struck me as unique and I just had to ask about it. Please don't hate me, I won't do it again."
I cocked my head "you make it sound like I'm gonna kill you. Let it go and stop groveling-I hate that."
Mylo smiled "yeah your right." I had expected him to leave after that, but he just stood there.
"So is that all you wanted to say?" I asked hoping that he would say yes.
He rasied his eyebrows "actually I was also wondering if you wanted to go for a walk with me, Springwood seems pretty interesting I'd like to know more about it."
When he said that I wanted to puke, sure this place was interesting alright, if you count people dying left and right every bloody day.
"October, arn't you going to introduce me to your new friend." My mother asked comming outside.
I said nothing, Mylo looked at me and then at my mom "Mylo Regards ma'm."he said holding out his hand.
Mom shook it happily "it's so nice to meet you Mylo, did you just move here?"
"Yes ma'm from Florida."
They started a conversation, I rolled my eyes and crossed my arms.
Leaning on the door frame I listened to their conversation, but it soon got boring so I closed my eyes for a moment, hoping that they would stop and that Mylo would go home.
When I opened my eyes Mother and Mylo were both staring at me but it seemed like they were frozen in time. I waved a hand in front of them but it did nothing.
"What's going on here?" I asked outloud.
I jumped, screams came from inside my house, screams from someone being murdered.
I backed away from the door and ran off the porch. The sky had turned dark and there wasn't a soul on the street. And to top it off it had begun to rain-hard.
This can't be happening. No! I turned around in circles and then took off running down the street and didn't look back. Within minutes I was soaked from head to toe. The street seemed to go on forever but I didn't stop. But soon I was out of breath
I stopped and looked to my right, there on the 1428 Elm Street lawn were five little girls all dressed in white, they were jumping rope and playing with a large bouncey ball. Dispite the harsh whether they stayed dry. I stared in disbeleif as they sang while jump roping.
"One, two Freddy's comming for you
Three, four better lock your door
Five, six grab your crucifix
Seven, eight better stay up late
Nine, ten never sleep again."
The rain pounded even harder now, and I was exhausted. Resting on my knees I closed my eyes wishing that this wasn't happening. I felt hot breath on the back of my neck, opening my eyes with alert I felt a hand gently grab my shoulder. I didn't flinch though. I glanced down at my shoulder and saw a glove with four six inch blades on it. My heart was beating very fast inside my chest. Another hand grabbed my other shoulder. "This isn't real, this isn't real." I wispered.
The hands spun me around and I faced a horrible looking man. His burnt face could be seen very clearly in the rain. Raindrops fell from the rim of his fedora hat. He licked his lips at me then pull my soaping wet body close to his. "Oh, it's real alright, you can't sleep forever little October." he wispered in my ear. I screamed as I felt something sharp cut my skin.
Snapping my eyes open I took the biggest breath of air that I could. I shook my head violently and looked all around for the man that had grabbed me. "October are you alright honey?" Mother asked. "Y-yes, no-I-I mean yes!" I cried.
Mylo put his hand on my shoulder "did you dose off and have a bad dream?" he asked.
I pulled myself away, "I'm fine."
Jumping off the side of the porch I landed on my feet and called back "I'm going for a walk." and I did not look back.
Well we know who's stalking October in her dreams now...But what is she going to do.
