Chapter 11
Katies P.O.V.
I opened my eyes and realized I wasn't in the boiler room anymore, and was actually back at the abandoned house. I looked around me, but saw no one. Laughter started up suddenly right behind me. It scared me, so I ran toward the house without looking back to see who it was. I opened the door and slammed it shut behind me instantly. I took a deep breath and tried to calm down. I felt something tug at my hand and I jumped about a foot in the air. I looked down to see a little boy. He had raven black hair, and piercing blue eyes.
"Who are you?"
"Louise."
I should've known this, but it still shocks me.
"What are you doing here?"
"I don't think your crazy."
He grabbed my hand and pulled me upstairs. When we got upstairs, he brought me into a room where two other children were sitting at the foot of a bed.
I walked cautiously over to them and said, "Hello?"
They both turned to me, and it was Jordan and Sean. I started tearing up but stopped myself from letting one come out.
"Do you know where Freddy is?" I ask.
"He's coming, and he's angry," Jordan and Sean say in unison.
"We're scared," says someone behind me.
I turn around to see my former self standing there.
I get over my shock and say,"You don't have to be scared. I'll be here to protect you from him."
"You don't understand. He's unstoppable." says Louise.
"Nothing evil is unstoppable. Only good is."
"I'm scared!" says Jordan.
"You don't have to be scared anymore. You can fight him. You have the power to do it, you just don't know it."
They all start to look down at their feet and ponder what I had been telling them.
"If you guys help me stop him, you will no longer be stuck here."
They all look at each other and seem to know what they are each thinking about. They all nod and look at me.
"We'll help you." they all say.
"Thank you."
Then, with such force, something shoves me out of the room and pushes me towards the stairs. I go tumbling down them, hitting my head every once in a while. I finally stop rolling and lay there to moan to myself. I hear creaks on the stairs, as if someone is going down them. I hear the footsteps stop right in front of me and make no more noise. I slowly, though regretfully, look up to see Freddy looking down at me with a big smirk on his face.
"That looked like it hurt."
"I'm going to take the children away from you." as I said that,
he picks me up by the throat and says, "That's never going to happen. Their mine, and they'll do as their told."
He throws me across the room and I land on a dining table breaking through it. I start coughing from all the dust and hear Freddy slowly come over. I look around for a weapon and decide to use a shard of wood. When he's about to pick me up again, I swing around and stab him in the hand. He yells out loud and moves away from me to look at his hand. I get up as fast as I can and start to run away. Right when my hand touches the front door knob, something pulls on my shirt, and I go flying back into the room. I fall and land on my back. As I'm getting up, Freddy comes right beside me and holds me down.
"You're not going anywhere."
As Freddy is about to kill me, someone calls him out from behind him.
As he turns his head, I see that it is Jordan and the other children.
"You shouldn't be here!" yells Freddy.
"We're not going anywhere."
"And what makes you think that that's going to happen?"
"We're not afraid of you anymore."
"What?" he growls
"You can no longer harm us. We're not afraid anymore."
Freddy moves away from me, clutching his chest. He looks shocked and pissed off.
"You're not going anywhere." he says.
Freddy starts walking toward the children just as Jordan says,
"We take back every bit of energy we gave you."
Freddy stops dead in his tracks when a bright light bursts out of his chest. He screams and falls to his knees. More light bursts out of him and he falls to the ground.
I walk up to him and say, "So do I."
Freddy screams even louder and explodes in an overwhelming light.
...
I woke up in my bedroom. I knew by how bright my room was, that it was late morning. I looked over at my side and saw Louise, still as can be. Tears started rolling down my face to the point where everything was blurry. I clumsily got up and yelled for my mom. She bursted through the door in a matter of seconds. It only took her a second before she saw Louise. She went up to me, pulled me into a hug, and walked me out of the room. We went downstairs and she sat me down at the dining table.
"I'm going to call the police, honey. Everything is going to be okay."
Before I could say anything, she ran into the kitchen and dialed 911.
"The police are coming. They're going to be here any minute."
My mom pulled up a chair and rubbed my back until the police came.
They took us to the police station to be questioned after they brought out Louise's body. Our house was surrounded with neighbors and Louise's parents. I didn't have the courage to look at them.
After a few hours of being interrogated, they were convinced that I didn't kill Louise. I'll admit, a lot of weight was taken off my shoulders when I was proved innocent, but it still didn't make me feel any better about the whole situation.
We were finally released from the station and got to go home.
As we were driving home, my mom looked over at me and said, "Are you going to be okay?"
"I don't know, mom."
"Do you want to stay somewhere else for a while until your ready?"
"If you want to do that mom, I'm okay with it."
A sudden chill went down my back and I shoved my hand into my pockets. When I did that, I felt something in my left pocket. I grabbed what ever it was pulled it out. I opened my hand slowly and saw that it was a locket. It was made of yellow gold and had a very thin gold chain. The locket was oval shaped and had swirl designs. I opened it up and saw a saying written on the right side of the locket. The saying read, 'Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil.' On the left side of the locket was a picture of my friends and me as kids, smiling. I smile stretched across my face. I closed the locket and put the necklace around my neck. I held the locket in my hand and took a deep breath. It was at this moment that I truly felt safe, happy, and thankful.
THE END
I do not have ownership over Freddy Krueger or any of his movies. This story is closely related to the first movie and its characters but I don't own any of them.
Thank you so much for reading my story. This is really my first time writing a chapter story. I hope you liked it and enjoyed it. I'm also sorry it took a long time before I published the last chapter.
