Hey guys! I know it's been about two months, but this time I have a good reason. I was suffering from writer's block and it was earlier this month that an idea hit me. I also had to fill out a couple of forms from my Physical Therapist Assistant program, which was really boring. I already have ideas for the next chapter so it shouldn't take long for me to update. Oh and thank you to everyone that has reviewed! ^_^

Freddy: You put a Disney song in here?
Me: Don't you have some children to terrify?
Freddy: It can wait. *pulls up chair beside me* You made me sing a Disney song?
Me: It was the only song that fit the situation perfectly and there's nothing wrong with Disney!
Freddy: But I'm Freddy Krueger, Dream Demon of Elm Street!
Me: News flash, this was before you went all crazy and started killing children!
Freddy: Well I suppose in that case...
Me: *interrupts Freddy* Enjoy the chapter everyone!
Sky's POV
"Where am I?" I asked myself as I surveyed the area.
I wasn't in the garden at the gazebo like I usually am when I fall asleep. As of now I was sitting on a curb of some street…
"Oh it's Elm Street!" I confirmed as the street sign came into focus.
I realized why it was so hard to recognize anything, it is night time and it seems darker than usual in the vacant neighborhood. I stood up from the curb and stepped onto the yard that was behind me. I instantly recognized it as Freddy's house. The windows showed that there wasn't anybody home, but I had a feeling that Freddy was in there anyway. I started walking towards the back of the house, my suspicion proved right when I saw the basement window lit up. I could see from inside that Freddy was pacing back and forth like he was expecting something or somebody. I knelt down in front of the window and lifted my hand up to tap it to get his attention. Instead of getting a tapping noise my hand mysteriously went through the window.
"What the hell?" I tried again, only getting the same result.
All of a sudden I heard commotion from the front yard. I got up from my position and bolted towards the front yard with a bad feeling in my stomach. My eyes widened as I saw a large group of people coming towards the house with torches. I noticed that they were all parents that lived on this street and they didn't look too happy.
"I have to warn Freddy, but how?"
Before I could even come up with some plan, a man from the front of the group took out a lighter and ignited a cloth that was stuffed into the neck of a bottle that contained a clear substance.
Oh no, it's gasoline!
"Wait!" I screamed in terror.
The man threw the bottle into one of the windows of the house, starting it on fire instantly. A few others from the mob did the same thing until the house was ablaze. I ran into the backyard again to see if Freddy, hoping that he had gotten out safely. As soon as I got there I felt my heart drop not only because there was no sign of Freddy, but the flames of the fire were raging out of the basement window.
"Noooooooo!"
I sat up breathing rapidly with a sheen of sweat all over my body that was visible from the moonlight coming from my open window. I felt hot tears trail down my face as I started to sob.
"Sky, are you alright?" I felt Freddy's hand rubbing soothing circles on my back.
"I just had this terrible nightmare!" I explained in between sobs.
"Shhh, it's over now." Freddy took me into his arms, rocking me back and forth to calm me down.
I only held on tighter to him, thinking that if anyone wanted to take him away from me they would have to go through me first.
"Do you want to talk about it?" Freddy asked as soon as my sobbing had ceased, only a hint of trembling could be detected.
"No, I just want to forget about it." I answered.
I felt Freddy's lips at the nape of my neck, causing a shiver to run down my spine.
"What are you doing?" I moaned in between words.
"Making you forget. Is it helping?" Freddy whispered in my ear, giving it a nip at the end of the question.
"Undeniably." I answered, pushing him down on the mattress as I got on top of him.
I brushed my lips against his as I started to take off his briefs, which were acquainted with the floor in seconds. They were met with my pajama pants and tank top. We were still in a lip lock as I slowly slid onto Freddy, making me moan into his mouth out of pure ecstasy. I heard Freddy groan as I started to ride him at a steady pace. Freddy grabbed me by the hips as he started meeting my every thrust. Minutes went by when I finally couldn't take it anymore and let myself go, crying out Freddy's name. I felt my muscles tense around Freddy, before I felt him release with a groan, making me come a second time. I collapsed on top of Freddy as we laid there coming down from our high. I rolled off of Freddy and cuddled up to him, trying to get as close to him as possible. Freddy placed his hand on my waist while his other stroked my hair. I felt my eyelids become heavy once again and let the darkness consume me, hoping that I would have a good dream rather than another nightmare.
Freddy's POV
The week went by fast which meant only one more week before Loretta and Katherine come home. I've been getting daily phone calls from Loretta who bombards me with questions. I always tell her that I'm doing fine without her and that I work most of the time anyway. Sky has been coming to my house more often now that her father is back from his camping trip. Not that he started drinking again, but rather that she's trying to conceal our little affair. I'm happy that her father has taken a turn in his life. Sky has been a lot more cheerful as well. If I didn't say so myself, I'd say her father is back to the way he was before he found out about Hill's illness that ate out her heart before his eyes. Sky has told me that he's been going to AA meetings every evening since he got back from his trip, which is helping wonders. I can't help but worry about Sky right not though. She's very happy, but I know there's something wrong that she's not telling me about. I suspect that it has something to do with that nightmare she had a few days back. I don't want to bring it up to her, but I want her to be carefree for once in her life. I've made my decision, I'm going to ask about it tonight and get her to talk.
"Hey Freddy!" Sky greeted as she came in through the back door.
Speak of the devil.
"Hello Sky." I turned in my chair to face her.
"Have you eaten dinner yet?" She asked as she sat in the chair next to mine.
"Yes actually. Have you?"
"Yes, I just came by to see if there was anything I could do for you."
"Well there is something Sky."
"What's that?"
"Before I ask you promise me that you'll give me a straight answer." I gave her a stern look.
"Okay I promise. What's this all about?" Sky laughed.
"What did you have a nightmare about a few days ago?"
Sky's face seemed to discolor as she was reminded of that dreadful memory and her smile disappeared. She stood up from her chair and walked over to the kitchen sink, looking out the window.
"Sky?" I rose from my chair as well and stood behind her, placing my hands on her shoulders for comfort.
"I'll give you an answer, but you won't like it."
"That's okay; you need to talk about it. It's not healthy to keep stuff bottled up in you forever."
"You died, I tried to do everything in my power to make it stop from happening but I was useless. I don't want that to ever happen! I don't want to lose you!" Sky turned around with tears glistening in her eyes.
"Shhh, it won't. Not if I can stop it." I whispered, wrapping my arms around her in an embrace as she began to sob.
Come stop your crying
It will be alright
Just take my hand
Hold it tight
I will protect you
From all around you
I will be here
Don't you cry
For one so small
You see so strong
My arms will hold you
Keep you safe and warm
This bond between us
Can't be broken
I will be here
Don't you cry
'Cause you'll be in my heart
Yes, you'll be in my heart
From this day on
Now and forever more
You'll be in my heart
No matter what they say
You'll be in my heart, always
As I finished singing I noticed that Sky's crying had ceased and my hand that was resting over her heart felt the beating of it quicken. I knew that now was my chance to tell her how I've felt about her for a long time.
"I love you Sky." I whispered into her hair.
I think in that moment, Sky's heart skipped a beat before she turned around in my embrace, looking up into my eyes.
"I love you too! I think I have loved you for the longest time, I just didn't know it at the time." Sky replied.
I was so relieved that she wasn't afraid of me for what I had said; better yet she returned my feelings. We embraced once again, two troubled souls that have found comfort in each other. Ignorant to everything that was happening around us. My only fear is if I lose her to another man like I had lost Hill, but I was at fault because I didn't tell her how I felt about her. The fear seemed to disappear when Sky's grip tightened. No one can tear us apart.
Hope you liked it! Don't hesitate to leave a review!
