Freddy inspected his fingers.
Asidia bit him. Hard.
"When did you do this to Cherry?!" Asidia demanded, staring down at the jar.
Freddy grinned.
"A few hours after I sent you girls to bed actually!
I found Cherry out with Roger Jennings and told her your parents were worried and had called asking if i'd seen her.
I told her I offered to look for her..."
Freddy finished the flash back...In a nutshell.
He couldn't help but add in gory details.
"She got into the truck like I requested. We talked for a long time before she realized I wasn't taking her home...
You should have heard her scream Asidia...
My ear drums just about busted.
I managed to get to the plant and drag her inside before anyone investigated..."
His blue eyes were hazy looking in the poor light of the lamp.
The shadows that played on his face made him that much more terrifying.
He smirked at the expression on Asidia's face before asking:
"Do you wanna know what happened next?" He sounded excited.
Asidia didn't want to know, and was suprised when she nodded her head 'yes'.
He sat back again trying to recall details...He was quiet for the longest time before he stood up and approached the little girl.
"She just stood there in the middle of the room trembling. I'll be quite honest and give her credit, she did act brave..."
Asidia backed up against the wall.
She didn't like the way Mr. Krueger was circling her.
It was unnerving and a predatory defense mechanism often exhibited in sharks generally.
Again he was speaking and grabbing something from a shelf above Asidia.
She couldn't tell what it was, but did see Mr. Krueger pat it.
He looked down at her.
"She was all talk, and no substance...I suppose a lot of people are like that when they have to go before god..."
Asidia realized with horror that the object in Mr. Krueger's grip, was now being slipped onto his right hand.
With a surge of courage and energy, Asidia pushed past Mr. Krueger into the illuminated side of the room.
Mr. Krueger smiled sinisterly again as he stepped into the light.
Asidia gasped.
It was a dark brown leather glove with blades on the fingertips...and Cherry's blood still stained them.
(Guys, is this a disappointing story so far? Unintresting in anyway?)-KD
