Jason heard outraged screams coming from Dawn's room. He went to her room and tried the doorknob, but Dawn had locked the door. Jason scowled and began banging the door. Dawn was still screaming. Jason growled and bust the door open. He saw Dawn writhing around in her bed, the sheets tangling around her. Jason went and shook her violently. Her eyes flew opened and she jolted up. Scratches travelled up and down Dawn's arm. Her shirt was ripped open at her chest, revealing her breasts. Fear made Dawn's eyes glassy. Jason seethed with rage, he shook so bad that He had a hard time focusing; Freddy had just tried to kill HIS Dawn. Jason forced her to lie back down.

"We're ending this. NOW!" He hissed. Dawn looked up him, her eyes cloudy. She silently begged him not to make her do this now.

"I'm killing him Dawn. I don't care. He needs to know that I'm not a force to reckon with, I can't believe that he didn't learn that before, but he didn't." Jason told her. She whimpered, fear finally overtaking her anger, Freddy had almost killed her, and Jason wants her to go back to sleep. What the hell was wrong with him? Jason reached down, and tucked a lock of hair behind her ear.

"I know you're scared, but I'm doing this for you." He told her. How many times had Dawn heard that? Too many, she was sick of it, the mere sound of the words made her blood rage through her veins. She bolted up.

"I'M SICK OF IT! I'M NOT BAIT! WHY DON'T YOU GO TO SLEEP AND NEARLY HAVE FREDDY KILL YOU?" Dawn yelled. She didn't care how Jason would react.

"EVERYONE's JUST SOOOO INTERESTED IN MY WELL BEING! THERE WAS A DAMN GOOD REASON WHY I CAME TO LIVE HERE! THAT'S BECAUSE I WAS TIRED OF EVERYONE THINKING THEY KNOW WHAT IS BEST FOR ME YOU'RE WRONG!"

Dawn went and grabbed her hoodie and left the cabin. She walked briskly through the woods. She broke down crying, and fell to her knees.

~Flashback~

"You're not going." Her boyfriend told her, grabbing her arm. Dawn glared at him and jerked her arm out of his grasp.

"Yes I am. I'm tired of this ring, tired of you're parents, and most definitely tired of you!" Dawn took her engagement ring off and flung the diamond at his head. She started for the door, but John grabbed her arms and slammed her against the wall.

"Bitch, you aren't leaving." He hissed. Dawn glared at him.

"Yes, the hell I am, get off me before I scream. The apartment walls are paper thin." Dawn hissed. John only slapped her. Dawn cried out and anger made her blood boil. Dawn kneed John in the groin and ran out the door.

"You're never controlling me again, John." She whispered.

~End Flashback~

Dawn sobbed heavily; Jason came and took her in his arms. Usually she would just fall into his chest. But she pulled away. He was going to try to convince her to follow his plan. Jason stood with her and reached for her, a puppy dog look in his eyes.

"No!" Dawn told him. She turned away from him and started walking away. Jason grabbed her arm violently and pulled her back to him.

"Do you want him gone or not!" Jason hissed.

"Of course, but I'm not a worm you can put on a hook and dangle in front of Freddy's face! I thought you cared about me more than that!" Dawn yelled at him turning away and walking from him. Jason's eyes widened behind the hockey mask. He let her go, Dawn turned from him and walked away.

Was Jason really doing that to Dawn? How could he, he wanted her safe and he was using her as bait, for Freddy Krueger? He watched Dawn walk away, weaving between trees. He looked down, and then followed Dawn, would she ever trust him again? Dawn stopped in a meadow, the evening sun giving everything a golden glow. Dawn gripped her left arm. She looked around and then over her shoulder. Her skin glowing, her hair shone radiantly.

Dawn never knew how evenings in Crystal Lake could be so beautiful. She felt like she had dropped from the world of humans and into an enchanted land, long forgotten by anyone who knew this world existed. Everything around her sparkled, some plants still had water droplets from the night's previous storm and they glittered. Camp Crystal Lake glowed. Was she dreaming? Dawn closed her eyes, a song played into her mind.

She remembered performing the song in her high school orchestra; she had played the cello for it. Gymnopedie No.1, she remembered thinking that if that song were the last song on Earth, she would be fine with it. Dawn closed her eyes, her worries melting away momentarily, fought away with the warm embrace of her teen years. She was so lost in her own mind she had no clue that Jason had came up beside her, watching her intently.

Jason was mesmerized by the look of utter peace on Dawn's face. Tears sliding down her cheeks. She began humming a gentle tune to herself. Jason became lost in her. He knew she wasn't thinking about her time with him, she seemed too happy for that. She was venturing deep inside herself, trying to escape his world of death and darkness. What had her life been like, before she had came here? He felt incongruous with this scene, Dawn was so light and so was this meadow. He silently stepped away from her, away from the meadow. From Dawn's moment of pure bliss, he didn't belong, like so many times before.

Dawn stayed in the meadow until it was dark, and then went back to cabin three. She entered the cabin and saw Jason sitting on the bed, looking down at the floor. She came and sat down beside him. Jason said nothing; he didn't even look at her.

"You're not mad at me are you?" She asked him quietly. He shook his head.

"Why aren't you talking to me?" She asked Jason looked at her. He reached for his notepad and pen. He wrote down his message and gave it to her.

I don't need to. Dawn looked up at him, her eyes wide. She looked back down and put the notepad down.

"If you still want to fight Freddy now-" Jason shook his head. Dawn fell silent and looked away. She sighed.

Jason listened to her breath; he got up and walked away. Why was being with Dawn becoming so difficult? He left the cabin. Walking briskly through the woods, he tried to think about something other than Dawn, anything but Dawn. He tried his mother and that only brought him back to Dawn. He always hated his father so thinking of the bastard just made him want to kill someone. He didn't want to be violent at the time. He ended up at the lake, he stood at the edge, watching the water lap up on shore, and every time it retreated the water took some pebbles and sand with it. He watched the water ripple in the late summer breeze.

He noticed something. Usually, he would be dead now. Summer was ending and that usually meant teens coming to Crystal Lake for one final rendezvous before school started in fall. The last two usually killed him. He wondered why. All the others had the will to live, but yet he still killed them. The water glowed with the full moon, a complete different glow than from before. A dark glow, the full moon bathed the entire camp with a silver haze.

Jason looked up the moon, he sighed, upset, Dawn had returned to his complete negative. But the blood she had spilt would always be there. Tarnishing her perfect soul, Jason knelt and dipped his hand in the water. He stood after seconds. Flicking his hand much like a cat trying to get water off his foot, he gazed across the lake, lost.

Dawn got up and followed him. Jason wondered aimlessly through the woods until he got to the lake, where he stopped and stood there, motionless. Dawn didn't dare move a muscle either. She watched him, he seemed different, hurt. Dawn jumped as Jason touched the waters of the lake. She stepped out of the woods and unto the grass that grew only feet away from the shore. She sat down on the dewy grass and watched him in awe. He seemed so different; she had never seen Jason THIS deep in thought that he didn't even notice Dawn's presence, to which he was so delicate. Her eyes began to feel heavy, the setting the two were in was so nocturnally peaceful that she couldn't help but nod off.

Jason turned and saw Dawn sitting upright, her cheek resting on her knees. When did she get there? She was sleeping peacefully, a small smile on her lips, had Freddy finally left her alone? No, he would never do that, what if he was tricking Dawn? Getting her to think she's dreaming peacefully and then kills her suddenly. Jason couldn't let that happen. Before he had the chance to wake her up, she screamed, awaking. Freddy Krueger materialized in front of her. Jason jumped, Freddy's presence was unexpected, Freddy slashed down at Dawn. She jumped out of the way and up. She glared at him and ran into the woods, bravery only Jason could recognize shone brightly in her eyes.
