The Dream Team and the Battle For Salvation

Disclaimers: I own nothing of the Nightmare on Elm Street series or the characters, they belong to Wes Craven and New Line Cinema. The story belongs to me everything else belong to the director and the movie company.

Warnings: from here the story starts shifting into their plans to protect the town as the changes start getting better and everything that happened in the eight film suddenly gets redirected, because Gordon is the one running the adolescent ward and they created ways to enjoy being in town and growing up in the isolation of their quarantine.

Chapter 53: Medical Troubles and Lucid Dreaming

After explaining that to them Donald tried to figure out what was going on as he looked at her, as he felt his concern growing by the minute then. 'First her emotional wellbeing last night when we got it out of her, and now this, she nearly collapsed after she got it out of her and almost fell asleep in Neil's arms when he was rubbing her back last night, somethings wrong here, but what exactly, I've seen this before, but the last time it was because of Nancy and she was taking in too much..., oh god no, not again, baby, please, you didn't, tell me you didn't start taking those things.' he thought softly as he looked at her, seeing the exhausted look to her and went further into their conversation then.

"With the fact we're keeping you home from school you're resting as much as possible here honey, but whatever else is going on is going to get you in big trouble if you're hiding information from us, because I've never seen you that furious, what is going on if you had two near outbursts in the last forty minutes and why would it drain you further?" Donald asked her and she tried to edge her explanation on that, but before she could answer him, Jenkins looked at him and Neil to ask the next question then.

"How long is she staying awake lately and how long has she been up, before last night's field test?" Jenkins asked and Neil sighed. " She was up pretty late the other night, and whatever nightmare she had was enough to make her worried, before she called us in the following night, but to answer your second question its been close to three to four weeks now, and it's getting out of control lately, she's reached the point where she's about to put herself back in the hospital for sleep deprivation at this rate." he said and Jenkins nodded with a worried look at that.

"If that reaction over Richard and the narcotics is a result of not getting enough rest I need to know that now here, because there's only one thing I can think of that can have a patient this agitated from not sleeping enough and it's an over exposure to-too much coffee, caffeine and caffeine tab..." he started to say and it hit the eight of them at the exact same time then as Nancy said it for all of them as they all looked at her sternly than as she said it to her.

"Wait a minute, I was taking the caffeine pills for a week during my encounter with him, and I started losing my temper repeatedly, damn it I should have read that last night, alright Kris, tell me you didn't start doing that, have you been taking caffeine pills?" Nancy said to her and she swallowed, it had been close to four weeks, since things in her dreams had started getting worse and she'd been taking in too much caffeine and now they called her on it and she was afraid of their reaction after what happened the night before, as she thought this Erin's eyes narrowed at the reaction and knew she had and she went to the next question.

"How many did you take exactly?" Erin asked her sternly. "A weeks worth." she said and that did it for them as Joey looked at her in disbelief as he said what the entire group was thinking then. "Kris have you lost your mind, I know about the over exposure to the coffee and cola drinks as well as the constant trips to the vending machine at school to get these things, but that's going too far here, let me guess three tablets a day with the soda pop is that it, and why you looked like you were ready to pass out last night, the caffeine crash from the latest dose hit once you vented all of your anger, because you nearly passed out on the sofa, before we ran that field test?" he asked and she nodded as James covered his eyes at that.

"Three tablets a day times seven, that's twenty one a week and this has been going on for three to four weeks now?" Jenkins asked, his tone turning dangerously stern, and she nodded. "Elaine did you find anything in her room or medicine cabinet in the bathroom exactly?" Adams asked and Elaine shook her head as her eyes narrowed at that information then as the scene in the living room flashed through her mind and she felt her anger surge at this information.

"I saw a bottle of pills in her bag earlier this month while we were in P.E. class, though I didn't read the label on the bottle, but if that's them, I think I just found it." Debbie said and she nodded. "If it is, then there's probably more than one box, and her nightmares and double checking were going on for how long exactly, let me have it now young lady if their in your book bag I want to see that bottle right now?" Erin asked and she sighed, knowing she was in serious trouble, because her secret was out now as she gave her the pills. "Nearly two months now." she said and they nodded slowly as she said it for the three medical doctors as she looked at it.

"Alright that's ending now, these things are pure caffeine and your body's probably getting addicted to that stuff, you're home from school and I'm monitoring this every night, Elaine I'm coming by the house to get a blood sample, because I'm monitoring the caffeine decrease in her system till she's clean completely here. As of now she's resting till her body is completely healed, from both that and the sleep deprivation and lock up the cola drinks till further notice till I'm satisfied she's completely recovered from all of this." she said and they nodded in agreement to that as Jenkins looked at her to answer that then.

"Thank god I gave you those pills, there's sixty of each, but I'm keeping the extended prescription while you're recovering from sleep deprivation, again, so it's a one month recovery period here. How long before the term ends exactly?" Jenkins asked and she explained that. "Ten to twelve weeks from now, we get out in the middle of June, Doctor, it's the middle of March so it's close to twelve to fourteen weeks here, last time it was ten months, and this time it's only six weeks Doctor." she said and he nodded. "Alright with that in mind we got the trial being set up for two months from now and you're resting in between working on it, and give that injury time to heal too." he said sternly and she nodded as Adams repeated that statement.

"To repeat that you're not aggravating your injuries this time, I want you eating when you're supposed to be eating and resting when you're supposed to be resting, your body needs a chance to heal this time, so you're resting in the middle of the day honey, starting tomorrow you're home from school and you're taking a nap after lunch here, if you have to wait for the pills to kick in, just read for a bit, but you're getting as much rest as possible here, understood." Adams said to her with a stern look on her face and she nodded to that as Joey looked at his father.

"Dad never mind us being home from school as well here, we'll take notes and then do study groups to keep her caught up, but Kin and I are making sure we got what we need to do that, after practice is finished and we and the quintet can work together from there, while we're getting ready for the trial, she's resting when we're in class, but we do our homework together, and they're going to be at it as well, and we've got to get this under control, so with that, whatever homework she's got we'll pick it up."

"Than after practice and the girls get off work, we'll go by their house and we can work on our homework together, and bring her the test papers for whatever test we got coming up the next month to two till the trial, okay, I'll tell our teachers about having her homework assignments prepped and ready and in the folder, so we can get it to each class every day starting Monday." Joey said to him and he nodded.

"Okay I'm starting a home schooling session in your case honey, while you're home from school the kids can get your homework assignments and Derek is covering everything else here, so each class is covered and that means everything you're taking, but added curricular activities are on hold for three weeks." Elaine said to her.

"Alright with that in mind Kris, with the fact the eight of us are in the classes together, I'll get the school work needed from each course for that week and you can do it at home while you're recovering, while we do our study groups from your house and we'll put a hold on sparring practice, that is that once your arm in three weeks recovered, we can start sparring again, but till then class is on hold for a while." Rick said and she nodded.

"Guys quick question here, how much sugar and caffeine was she taking in at school during class to stay awake exactly, and I mean candy bars, cookies, soda at the lunch lines and vending machines and everything in between classes and school when you're together to just hang out, she's looking like she's been running on fumes right now in the last month, since we noticed this going on?" Erin asked and Alice answered that with a sigh.

"A lot more than we normally take in during the day, she grabbed three cans of Pepsi from the vending machine and several candy bars from the snack machines, she's been drinking nothing but the caffeine loaded soft drinks the last three weeks when we're in school or hanging out, when we're together, and I was actually getting ready to report this to you, before she blew the alarm of what the heck it is that's causing it lately, and we were getting more concerned by the minute about it this month, but in total it's been close to sixty five cans a week for three weeks now, and the candy bars thirty a week in that same amount of time, I didn't find any energy drinks, but that sums it up." she said and the trio all nodded as Elaine said it for all of them then.

"Has she been restocking her bag with this crap, she said that's one of the symptoms of sleep deprivation, and Teresa reported that the cans overflowing with the wrappers from this and I've been finding repeated candy and soda cans and wrappers in the garbage can in her room lately as well as candy wrappers all over her room?" she asked and Debbie sighed. "Yeah three times a day in between classes, I caught sight of the pills earlier this month and I was getting ready to report it, till I saw the knife marks on the locker door yesterday and it finally hit me why she was doing this and I decided enough was enough, with the fact you raised the dose that ends this, our family is intact now with the fact we all saw what they did yesterday and we all saw him last night, the strike worked but now we just have to put an end to this, but it's been going on every day for the last four weeks." she said and they nodded to her.

"Anything else, aside from the short temper that you and Alice noticed baby?" Adam asked her and she nodded. "Repeated hot flashes in addition to that, like I said it's been nothing but heavy caffeine drinks lately, and I warned her that if this kept I was getting ready to tell you, before she told me the truth of what happened in this hospital and we saw his claw marks on the locker doors across from ours yesterday, Jess was with us when he saw it and we told him to wait for us to call him." she said and Erin nodded. "Her cycle is in a week and taking these on top of the PMS before the cycle causes her body temperature to start rising, and Dorfmans not letting her get the release by letting her do several rounds around the track to get the caffeine out of her, that explains it right now." she said and Elaine looked at her.

"I'm looking at 2000mg's of caffeine here in addition to the tablets, and I caught her with a cup of coffee, before she left for school yesterday, but 5000mg's of caffeine and 900mg's of concentrated sugar, that's going to take a month to wear off completely here, so six weeks give or take for her body to recover from that level, again, with fourteen weeks left its six weeks recovery and two on prohibition in the case of caffeinated soda and too much candy till after the trial." Elaine said and the trio nodded in agreement as Donald looked at the duo as he asked the next question.

"Guys was this why you were getting worried aside from her repeatedly calling you in, before the meeting last night?" Donald asked and the duo nodded to answer that then. "Alright that's coming to an end right now young lady, you're out of school for the next six weeks recovering from this." Elaine said sternly to her and she nodded. "Derek with the fact you're doing health and wellness at the moment?" Erin said and he nodded, already knowing what she was asking him to do for her as Neil felt his anger rising at this, now knowing the reason for why her muscles were so stiff and why she was worn out as he looked at her sternly.

"Sure I'll cover it, with the fact I'm a high school teacher I'll cover tutoring in case the kids need it sis." he said and she nodded to that. "You're a high school P.E. teacher Derek?" Darrel repeated and he nodded. "Yeah I am, I'm also third degree black belt in Tae Kwon Do, so Adam, I can finish Rick's training, no charge, he's my future nephew-in-law, but the kids got their own personal tutor in the family now till they're out of high school here." he said and Adam nodded to that declaration gently.

"I'm going to kill that bastard for this, alright enough is enough you're back on that rest cocktail we set up and you're home from school for the next month recovering from this, I'm making it clear here, but you're confined to the house indefinitely young lady, if you want to see me I'm coming by your mother's house, but you're not leaving the house till a few days before the trial and that's two months, if you have to Derek and Jake are with you, and that includes trips to the rec center track course, understand and if you want to be outdoors it's the front or backyard of the house, during a school day for the next six to seven weeks understood." Neil said to her with a stern look then and she nodded quickly as Elaine turned to the quintet then.

"Guys from here on in, for the next six weeks now, get her homework and bring it to our house if you want to see her you better come to our house, but she's in house arrest for the next month, but she's stuck at home for the next four weeks till she's fully recovered and the caffeine is off limits for the next six to seven week as of now, so with that, there's a change in things here, because any family get-togethers we have are usually based at my house and with that she's staying at our house till she's fully recovered from this, so whatever tests, class work or homework that needs studying or work on, she's doing it from our house and you can see her from there, but she needs to take it easy for a while." Elaine added and they nodded to that as Erin finished her sentence then as she went over the medical orders in terms of school then.

"Before you say it, I already told Benson you were yanking me out of school for a sabbatical, and I said I was getting ready to tell him. But I'm nearly done with what I've been working on in order to do that and tell both him and every single one of our teachers the truth of why you yanked me out of school." Kristen said and Neil answered her. "What have you've been doing in order to do that exactly, if he's learning the truth of what the heck is going on and why you've been having those flashbacks the last thirty months, your mother said the cat has been sitting on the counter when you're working on it here?" he asked her and she explained that as she pulled out the folder then that looked like it had five hundred pages in it then.

"I wrote up a manuscript for what went on in here, so if he asks why you yanked me out and the reason for the flashbacks and the six week sabbatical from being in school you have a copy to give him, and it's the entire truth here, including Rodriguez's attempt on me, if my teachers all ask I made six copies of it for them, in case the bastard ever started stirring up and they knew the entire truth, and with the fact we're setting up the trial, you got one as well dad, though they and every parent in our graduating class is going to kill the duo when they find out what happened and why I've been pushing myself so hard lately, because Jesse is on the edge of trying it a second time himself." Kristen said and he nodded to that as Erin answered that gently.

"How much is it going to cost to tell the entire school and the adults in the know here. We don't have that much paper in the copying machine baby?" Elaine asked her and she smiled. "We got a type writer, I've been using that the last year since this started and writing it out, but we got to change the cartridge again, so that explains the clacking noise in my room you hear, but the last few pages will be five to seven pages each here, but I'm proofing first, but to answer that question though."

"You take it to Kinkos and it's only going to cost fifty bucks to make eight hundred copies of this, it's not too expensive, once I'm finished, if Papa or Uncle Jared is on medical duty, one of them can take an hour, if I'm resting during the day, and copy the entire book, but I've made sixty copies for us, to make the 790, someone is going to have to do it at Kinkos." she said and she nodded to that.

"I can take it and run it off the Xerox baby, Sarah and I are both working at Kinkos right now while Peter is working at the hardware store." Diane said and John quickly headed that off. "Honey once you're done give it to me and I'm asking Harry to sponsor you're getting this out to the entire town, because he's one of the parents who's kid was murdered in the outbreak, he finds out and he's going to do so automatically, and he's able to read the book and he's going to kill when he finds out what happened to you kids and your sister in here at the time."

"The executive firm I work for has a seventy million dollars in it, we can sponsor the book together, this one is done by us, if King comes to the trial, he's getting a hardback copy of each book, that includes alternate realities of our circumstances, if he gets his publishers involved here, but Harry's not going to mind at all, just once you're done with the first sixty copies for us and the rest of the leadership, give me the manuscript and I'm taking it to the firm and I'm publishing the book through us, that includes the book cover you choose, okay." he said and she nodded to him.

"Typing it out is working, but it's going to take me a week to finish it, because I've got to go through these to know what was fuzzy in my memories here, but once I'm done that takes care of it and we can finish it, so I'm going to proof read it first, before I give it to you and you take it from there." she said and he nodded to that statement as Darryl answered her in shock at her statement then.

"Jesse saw the claw marks on the locker, he knows what they are?" Darryl repeated and she nodded. "Don't lose your temper, but to keep him from panicking I gave a couple doses of my prescription, so he's able to make it through the night, before you give him the full months worth later, but you're going to have to prescribe it now dad, Simms and Carver are out of the picture the quintet need to be on it till we get it out to the entire town, guys give them the books as well, so they know the reason why I'm out of the school as well, that is if we don't do it right after a week in from my recovery." she said and they all nodded as Erin said it for all of them.

"Nice touch, so we don't have to tell your principal or teachers the entire truth, before the trial, you just did it for us, does this cover the aftermath, when we saw each other finally, the letters you gave us, every piece of information where he's concerned, before the release as well too?" she asked and she nodded. "Yeah this is the version that's not going to get published by the guys who write the novels for the movies, because they're going to be for the town, while I'm changing the circumstances for the movies here, this version is our true story, but like I said I'm not completely finished with it yet, that's why I asked for the tapes, so I can finish the last three chapters."

"While I write up the versions for our town, from Nancy to Jesse and then to our family, I'm giving them ideas in what to write for the rest of the planet in case the director comes to town asking for rights to our life stories here. But this one is the criminal advanced special edition version, the one I made, this one I'm asking for the publishers to send to our town, but the regular version, the one being made for the movies, is going out to the rest of the planet, this one is our truth now." she said gently.

"The versions that are being made for the movies, for the third, fourth, fifth and six books are the alternate ending versions for us, if Nancy and Uncle Donald hadn't survived the battles and we never got the gang back in one piece, those are the ones I'm passing off to the publisher who makes the movie novelizations, the ones that I'm working on for those movies I'm removing certain key elements from the story."

"These ones though, they're the true stories of our back histories with the bastard, to get the aftermath right I need the tape to your conversations before you dealt with Adam at the time, because I was asleep by that point, but the last three chapters need to be finished, and it won't take longer than a week, so once I'm done, we can print up multiple copies of the books, with the fact we got a town publisher here, for the parents that lost their kids to the bastard, while they were in here."

"I'm going to ask for them to make three to ten million copies of each special edition and that's both trilogies and write up the novel for another story for them later and those ones are for the town only, with the fact that the company is probably going to give us assets, we use that to add on to the town and pay for supplies and equipment to, and with the fact I'm the author for those books, I'm using the money to ensure that we can keep our quarantine running smoothly."

"But I can finish the books, before you pass them to my teachers and the principal, because they'll be done by the middle of next week, with what we heard on that tape I can play it back slowly, you kept the tapes of the last three months we were in here?" she asked and the trio nodded. "Yeah I hid the tapes this entire time, though I'm not entirely sure which ones which, to know what happened leading up to when we released you." Jeff said and she nodded to that as she answered him.

"Alright in between resting, homework and getting that information set up for you, dad, I'm going through every tape that was taping everything, because I need to face what happened here, and this new dream test and seeing the tapes are the only option to do that, but once I'm finished with the chapters you print eighty copies for the books, so the parents who lost their kids to him, know what happened to our friends and classmates at the time, and that includes Papa as well, he needs to know what happened to Aunt Marge and how she was killed at the time."

"But here's the catch, the books are going to be between three to three hundred fifty pages, because they date from the beginning of the outbreak to the day we put him out of commission and till you brought us home, book four is dating from the start of my nightmares and leading up to when we take him down again, and so on, but this is our real life story, so with that, these are the books being given to the town bookstore so the adults in town know what caused the outbreak and why eighty more people were murdered here, but this is really going to piss these people off when they read them, because it's going over everything the duo have done to us and your patients."

"But everything written down within the limited edition version is for the town's eyes only, and that means the people living here all their lives or the last ten to twelve years, whoever moves to town afterwards, once they see the bastard screwing around as a poltergeist is getting a copy to what happened in town, before they moved here. The latest story title is going by the name the Dream Master, that's our current chapter, and it covers everything that happened the last two months and leading up to when we get our friends freed, before we start preparing for our final year of high school." she said and they nodded as Adam answered her as he looked at her.

"Entire truth, you mean you wrote down everything that happened in this hospital when you got here with Nancy that week: the charges, the attempts on both you and Taryn, the murders and everything you were cataloging that week, it's got everything I need to jail them?" Adam repeated and she nodded. "Yeah, I spent the last year working on it in case we needed to activate the protocols, and I made 200 copies of every single page so far, which explains why I had to keep filling up the machine with paper the last year since I've been working on it mom, sorry, but if every parent who lost their children to this maniac needs one, you better make ninety more and thirty added ones for the quintet, Derek, Grady and their parents, but one for every adult in this room and the teachers, but one copy for four hundred and seventy five people.

"Check that, make nine hundred copies and once I finished with the book and I can get them into a folder and have them ready by the time we call a group conference between us and the rest of dad's former patients and their parents, but this explains why I've been using your copier and typewriter to do it, each page was proofread and I'm now on the final stages, I've just got to go through the last four chapters, proofread and then they'll be done."

"Since once they all read this they understood why I had the guys with me all the time and it's got everything, including my conclusion and hypothesis of how the bastard got that strong, criminal information, movie information in what I told Uncle Donald, mom and Uncle Elliot and everything needed for it. But everything in the story is focused on the aftermath of the riot and leading up to when we got reunited with each other, it's going to be from my memory, but it's going to show everything to you, everything that you didn't see guys, and that includes the attack that you saw on the tv, but everything that went on behind closed doors between me and the guys will be in the book, but that includes the portion leading up to the pullout too."

"It's also in the third person, but it's enough to get the publishers attention once the trial gets the attention of every town in the country, give me till Wednesday of next week and the entire story will ready, whoever's acting as medical guardians during the recovery when mom's at work, can split the shifts and they can use our copier at our house to make multiple copies of the last three chapters, and your company can take it from there, and once, if Stephen King comes for the trial you and he can combine forces to make more and do the others." she said and he nodded.

"I'm an executive for a book company actually, so if I can get this published for you, you got your own publisher right here in town and if he agrees to be your editor, that's the catch and we can get the alternate reality versions out of town and all over the planet while these are for the city later. While the added alternate reality stories can be used for this class you got planned, just go through the chapters and do some proof reading once your done and then we can get the rest take care of the rest, it's going to take the entire summer for the others, but it's worth it too."

"Okay so each page is going to get copied eight hundred times for these chapters, that helps. How many chapters are we talking here, if it's going to take the entire week to finish the book starting tomorrow baby?" John asked her and she smiled.

"The book is just short of 400 pages, that includes the last three to four chapters, so you're looking at forty two to fifty chapters guys as to why it's got the entire thing leading up to when we got released and I can make eight to nine hundred copies for the entire town, because publishing fifty thousand more for the kids and adults."

"With the current one that I'm working on now that I'm starting after the trial dad, you're going to have to open it with your memories of what happened when Nancy and I arrived, I begin the opening sequence and that's my dream, and you guys take it from there, so you give me everything leading up to when I called you in, just use our conversations from the third book to base your thoughts on and your memories, dad your memories are the third book from your point of view from when I arrived."

"It was after I relaxed completely that our connection snapped into place, so whatever you were thinking during the week, since our internal link snapped into place after I got comfortable now when you were around me, so go through my book and write out the memories to your own interpretations, because they're including scenes that went on, when we weren't around each other at the time. To put this gently book three focuses on what went on in the ward for the guys and me when you and the guys, and Nancy, weren't supervising us and then book four, from chapters one through fifteen."

"Chapters one through fifteen, after I finish the entry point when I was running through that premonition, will be your memories, so it's your thoughts in your voice as you explain everything to them of what was going on and they include everything that went on when you were dealing with the added side effects and everything that went on the second night, my arrival that night and everything else, because I know you were doing research on the hypnocil, so that and everything that happened when you weren't around us. So it's going from the day you met me and Nancy and everything that transpired during the three months leading up to when you released us and from there it begins leading into what went on the last two days and forward, okay." she said and he nodded to her as he answered her.

"So that's the catch that's going to piss every parent in town off when they see what my memories show and what losing five patients and what the trio had done to me, by not letting me get my job done honestly and nearly taking you kids and your sister away from me. Okay so everything I remember of what was going the morning you girls arrived and that entire week and leading into the aftermath, that's fifteen chapters and then it goes back to you and we begin the start of it. Yeah okay, I'll give you my memories of that entire time, how long is this next one going to be though?" he asked and she thought it over, before she answered him then as she checked the first then.

"With our current circumstance I'd say from 485 to 520 pages, your memories are going to push it to sixty to seventy chapters, but each book is going to get bigger with every change, so by the time we deal with getting Freddy of out his realm and into ours again, by finding his daughter, they're up to 700 to 850 and then up to 900 pages, because of every change we got going on, though the minor novels are going to be 275 to 290 pages each, because they're the time gaps between each situation leading up after each battle, and I'm creating novels that show the time lapse between after we graduate from college and up to when we find Catherine too and then if he suddenly decides on a Clash of the Titans horror movie style battle and whoever our newest patients are that broke the rules." she said and he nodded to that as Rick looked at her.

"I hope you made several for us Kris, you're giving the cliff notes, but I want to know everything now, but I can wait till you finish off the last three chapters here, though I'm going to kill them for this, but I want to know what it is he did to cause you to have that panic attack." Rick said to her and she nodded and pulled five copies out of her bag and gave them to her friends and gave three more to her quartet then.

"Guys, before you read this, there's going to be a lot of stuff that you're going to kill both him and Richard for when you read it, so try to keep your tempers, because what mom told you last night barely scratches the surface dad." she said and they nodded to that as Joey opened his and read the first page then. "Well they're toast, because this is the special edition version to, alternate ending for us, new start now."

"Nancy and Uncle Donald are alive, as are we now with what went on last night, though this ones got our interactions with each other, that helps with the good memories of when we found each other, if they said we sounded like our parents at this age, but we got to finish the story and then get it out to the others, though our conversations were getting out of hand that day." Joey said smiling, as he started reading his own copy. "Okay this gives a minor summary of leading into the opening nightmare which includes the opening scenes for the movie if they do come here."

"If the quartet give you their thoughts leading up to when we realized we found each other that will help, especially once you hear what the rest of us are thinking here, because added blue prints should help as this keeps up now, but if the lord is willing to give them a bit of time we can use that so you can see what happened and we can get the images and scenes correctly here for the movie, though with the way this is going every parent in town is going to find it funny when they're reading about these pillow and water fights you got into on our first day in the ward sis." Nancy said smiling and she nodded as she looked at the quartet with a smile then as she said it.

"I was actually listening to your conversation guys, with the link I have with dad I could hear the entire conversation in the hallway, so though you couldn't see us and vice versa, we knew what was going on, and decided on the added pillow fight you heard, which explains what you saw between my mother, Uncle James and Aunt Claire the night the aftermath started, because we were doing that on purpose with the added punchline to your remarks in the hallway, which explains the amount of noise you could hear between us." she said and they nodded smiling as the kids started laughing at that as Alice said it for the entire adult gang with a smile

"Creative writing just took on a whole new meaning here, this is our true story, while the editors are getting this or the rewritten one for the prequel leading into where the quartet and I come into it." Alice added as she read hers. "Between now and the trial, we need to set up a meeting with the quintet and their parents, I have to tell him the truth here, because I got a few ideas for their sentences and I want to tell them." she said and Erin answered her gently. "Once you're past the worst of it, than we'll do that, but right now you need to recover from that level okay, baby, the trial is in two months from today, but first you need to get as much rest as you can and recover from those levels of stimulates, we're going to talk to their parents after you're past the worst of it." she said and she nodded as Erin looked at her mother than.

"She maybe out of school for a month, but that's not stopping her from graduating here, because she's getting everything from each course taken. Alright in between the court case and your homework, you're resting as much as possible here, and with that blood test I ran on you as well, you're taking in the food you're supposed to be taking in and enough of the high caffeine and sugar products till your body is fully recovered from this, because these things are like every other stimulate that's in the books and you're probably suffering other effects to them." she said to her and then went further as she said what she and Jenkins thought then.

"We raised that dose, but you're not having any more all nighters any more here and you need to put that weight back on, because you lost ten pounds in the last month thanks to this, as of now your drinks are milk, fruit juice or water, if you want lemonade that's fine as well, but you're not taking in any more caffeine products, and wherever you hid the pills we're doing a search of your room for it, because the caffeine is ending for the next ten weeks here and the sugar products are limited as well, because you're cutting back in the junk food this time here too."

"Elaine you better cover that as well, because Teresa is the one doing the cooking, I'm putting her on a specific diet to help her recover from this, we're back on that original recovery plan here, everything Teresa is making when she's home from school is high in fiber, protein and calcium, as for the drinks it's nothing but milk, water, fruit juice or lemonade, you catch her with a caffeinated drink, that means the soda or the coffee, or even an energy drink loaded with both and she's spending her recovery period back here in the hospital under Neil and Daniel's supervision." Erin said to her and she nodded to that order as Adam looked at her at that.

"Young lady if I have to run a search through your room I'll do that, but you're not hiding contraband, the coffee or the pills and anything that has that crap in it is getting confiscated here and if they or I find anything at all under the prohibited items we put under that list for the next month in your room and you're recovering here in the ward, understand." Donald said to her sternly and she nodded to that, knowing she was in serious trouble with her parental gang then for what had been going on since her dreams started again as Adam said her thoughts out loud, before he could Derek looked at her and then said it firmly.

"Yeah well there's no leaving the house or the back yard at all, if you want to be outdoors it's the backyard or you're laying on the front lawn to do that, but you're not leaving the property at all and to make sure of that and you're not hiding anything else here from us, I'm acting as truancy officer as of now, because I'm not risking the final crash coming up when I'm not around, so with that you're under my supervision in definitely for the next six weeks." he said and she nodded to that as Adam looked at the members of his new gang then to go into it.

"I take it this happened when she wound up in here?" he asked and they nodded with a sigh as James said it for all of them then. "Yeah after she explained things to us, we put her on a high fiber, protein and calcium diet to get her strength back up, because she lost fifteen pounds, and she tore a muscle in the fight, as well losing close to five units of blood, so all of the damage together resulted in a certain recovery plan to help her heal completely since she was at this current level from the caffeine then too."

"So Erin, Jane, Neil, Daniel, Jared and I came up with this recovery plan and her body started healing and we also decided on the sleep cocktail as well to help her recover from it, to block out the nightmares for the following years, but after the last month, the bastard caused a relapse the last two months and we're having to do it again here, our family is back in one piece, but she's still recovering from things here in the ward." James said and they nodded in answer to that explanation as he went to the next question as he tried to remember what I was she told him before.

"Added recovery plans should come in handy, but we can use this for sleep deprivation and the added weight lost clique that's going around right now Daniel, so we just prescribe the perfect recovery diet to help them heal and add vitamins to it to help them recover in the process, and for the weight loss they're in here for several months healing while the sleep deprivation and caffeine recovery is a one month to six weeks recovery process of the right foods and getting the nutrients back into their bodies and I'm changing my program as of now, my kids now have a couple competent psychiatrists taking care of them here." Neil said and he nodded.

"What's the safety limit on the Hypnocil here, if you're working on combining it with sedatives exactly, so this book is going to tell me why that is later, alright if you're putting her back on that I can wait a week for the truth while she's finishing the story later?" Adam asked and she explained that to him. "It's 90 in the pill form, and 130 in the liquid form, in adults it's 170 in the pill for and 190 in the liquid, though I'm setting the dose to sixty five for us after what we saw last night now, anything past that can knock the victim out for three to four days, I've got it set to thirty in her case."

"As adults we got a stronger threshold here for what drugs like this do, but we can only handle so much, but like the kids the maximum in our case for both versions is the limit, we go past that and it'll put us into a coma, so we got to make sure we stay in the safety range here, but getting the sedative doses, in pill form, is tougher to figure out, since they need to be completely equal to block him out, which is what we learned from the company that makes it before we brought them home." she said and he nodded to that information as Sheila looked at her then.

"You mind if I make a recommendation where that's concerned Doctor, to even it out, so it's not a sedative overdose all at once?" Sheila asked and she shook her head. "Not at all honey, after what you suggested last night, we could use some added help in the correct dosing here, so she doesn't fall asleep, before the hypnocil takes hold." Erin said and she nodded and gave her idea then "Alright my suggestion is giving her half the pill thirty minutes before she goes to bed and the other half when she goes to bed, that's the full thirty, and the Hypnocil at the same time the second dose is given, that'll take care of it." Sheila said and they nodded to that suggestion.

"Alright so that's fifteen a half an hour before bed time and then the other half when she lays down that night, alright that works and then the Hypnocil with it during the second dose, thanks for the suggestion honey. Derek you and Jake or Jared are going to have to act as parental guardians with her parents at work later on, and I can give the prescription instructions pretty soon to get it right, but the schedule is the same every day for the next six weeks here, while she's in recovery here."

"Now baby, I want you in bed, before you take that second dose, because with the first half dose of sedative you're alright going to be lethargic and the second is going to just add on to the effect, so I want you in bed before it takes hold completely, and if you're in the living room when it takes hold, Derek, get the hypnocil into whatever she's drinking, before she falls asleep, because she's going to fall asleep, before she finishes it." Erin said and they nodded. "I hope you got a pill cutter, we're going to need it for this, the level dose is no higher than ten when she was in the condition she was before, but though she's lost weight, she's able to handle the dose we set it to." Neil said to her and she nodded to that as Jenkins looked at Sheila then.

"Isn't it no more than 10mg's or cc's when it comes to sedatives though?" Joey asked and he nodded. "When the patient is still recovering yes, though for a patient that is completely healthy it varies, loss of weight it changes a bit, but she's suffering six weeks worth of exhaustion and loss of ten pounds, but her condition isn't in the danger zone here, but the limit is no more than fifty for a teenager, any more than that and it causes permanent damage to the organs and muscles, and the added resistance only speeds up the hold the drug takes, though I doubt that's going to be a problem here, so half during lunch and half after lunch with the afternoon dose."

"It's the same that night, but to get it right it needs to be reduced out of getting it matched to weight so cutting the pill in half is the safest way to go here, half during lunch and the rest once she's in bed, it takes hold faster on a empty stomach though, so once she eats something it takes thirty minutes for it to take hold, and she's allowed to read till she falls asleep, but there's no jail breaks here at all."

"In this case de-toxing from the caffeine for the first seven to eight days is going to get nasty, so you better stay out of the way guys, because this causes a serious caffeine headache, lethargy, and giving her body time to slow down and heal, if she needs to work off the nerves, she does it in the pool, but she's not leaving the house or the backyard at all here, and with that, between schoolwork and getting ready for the trial, she's draining all of it from her system, eating what's supposed to be eaten and getting as much rest as possible for the next six weeks as of now." James said and she nodded in agreement to that as Kristen read through what her prescription plan was then.

"Alright I'm laying down after lunch, and I'm taking the first dose of Valium with lunch and then I take both that and the Hypnocil when I get into bed, read for a few minutes and then lay down. That night I do the same around nine thirty, after a shower, take the first dose, into bed and then get the rest of it and then I'm out by ten thirty to eleven every night for the next month. That works, but in between those I'm working on the information you need dad and I'm doing my homework, but I'll be caught up with everything by the time I restart school." she said and they nodded to that as Elaine answered her, as she felt a jolt of anger go through her at this.

"At the moment your bed time just got dropped a half an hour young lady, you're in bed by nine that first dose of Valium is being given during the bath, and then I want you in bed, before it takes hold completely, before Jake gives the rest of it to you, it's the same for your nap-time dose." Elaine said and she nodded as Erin added on to her statement then. "Everything you're getting in this recovery plan is needed to get your body completely healed up, but the caffeine and sugar isn't one of them."

"To repeat what I said here there's no more caffeinated soda or coffee in your future here for the next ten weeks, and cut back in the snack food heavy in sugar as well to give your body time to heal, because both together are the reason you lost this much weight, loss of that much weight is going to take three months to gain back and I'm monitoring that, but when I say I want you on the scale so I can check I don't want any argument and the same is said for taking your medication on time, and when your parents and Derek tell you to eat and rest, it's the same to."

"With the fact we blocked him out in your case your body is returning itself back to normal, but to do that you need to slow it down and let it rest when it needs to and give it the fuel it really needs as of now, once things have settled you can have the caffeinated soda again, and that's in two to three months once your body has completely healed from this, and it's the same for the junk food binging as well to here, but for the next eight weeks, you're only eating and drinking what we approve here for your recovery diet as of now missy and I mean that."

"And you're not taking in anymore coffee here from this and if your mother, Derek, Jake or I find or catch you with another cup of it or find those pills hidden during your recovery during the next month you're in big trouble and are spending your recuperation period under Daniel's supervision and I mean that young lady, we catch you with anything that has caffeine in it the next eight weeks and you're in here during your recovery, understand." Erin said to her sternly and she nodded to that as Jenkins went over Sheila's suggestion with her then as she thought over Derek's role then.

"Truancy officer, a better word for it is parole at this rate." she said with a sigh and Derek looked at her as he answered that remark as his blue eyes went stern then as he said it. "With the fact I'm a school teacher, it's the only way to make sure you're caught up with your grades at the moment, when your brothers get off from practice you're doing your homework and I'm supervising things, as for the court case, you can show me your research, but when I say it's time to eat or rest I mean it, and with the fact you're a minor you're getting a curfew here and I'm the one running it now."

"As for that remark kiddo, you've left me no choice young lady, but to do this in your case, you studied biology, but your body can only handle so much, without it crashing from over exertion and lack of the real fuel it needs, said fuel the health food that's in a balanced diet and I'm not letting you out of my sight at this rate, and if you pass out when I'm not around and you're in the pool that could kill you, so this means I'm on watch all day as is your stepfather and Jared, so I'm not leaving you unsupervised during your recovery from this and watch the attitude you're in enough trouble as it is right now." He said to her firmly then with a stern look on his face.

"In the case of caffeine withdrawal it's only going to wear you out even more though sis." Sheila said and she looked at her as Erin went over that then as she looked at the quintet then. "You passed out after that last panic attack thanks to a hot flash, but you've lost too much weight thanks to denying your body the food it really needs right now and I catch you with anything that has caffeine in it and you're in serious trouble young lady." she said firmly as she turned to look at Rick then. "You said three cans, how much in total was she drinking the last few weeks?" she asked and Rick answered that with a sigh then as he looked at her.

"If this is like someone taking in more than twelve cups of coffee when they're a workaholic, it's a third of that, but the caffeine pills, I'm looking at close to twelve cups of coffee in one day here with those, the coffee and the cola drinks, and between that and the fact she hasn't slept in three weeks, I've been worried sick about her, she's been getting too wound up over the bastard and the quartet and I are getting more worried by the minute, because of it." he said and they nodded as Jenkins thought over how to drain it then.

"Alright between the sleep deprivation and the caffeine withdrawal together, she's going to be sleeping for several hours during the day, and probably sleep through the night, and that includes draining the caffeine by doing several laps in your pool to drain the nerves, but both together she's going to be getting the rest she needs, so with that if she starts getting jittery let her do a few laps in the pool, and then once it wears off she needs to eat and then rest." he said and she nodded to that. "Whatever approved items that are on that list I'll need pretty soon, so I can rearrange the kitchen cupboards whiles she's recovering from this." Elaine said to him and he nodded to that.

Jake added an exercise room next to his office downstairs as well to, but the treadmill and the pool ought to be enough to drain the nerves, he and I are doing the bills together so that's our office for finances." she said and and he nodded. "Cardio vascular exercises, running, swimming, both areas ought to be enough, but once she drains the nerves in that portion of it she's eating and then either laying down or settling on the couch to get whatever she needs to done." He said and she nodded to that.

"Jane or I will write up the approved food and drink items for her recovery, but tell your house keeper to hold off on buying the high caffeine soda till after the town meeting, and ease back on whatever junk food she was putting on your grocery list when she was home from school, because we're writing up the approved list later, but starting tomorrow she needs a change in her diet till she's fully recovered from what these dreams were and are still doing to her, and that's six to seven weeks, the refills on that prescription are coming from me and Jane, but that'll take care of it." Jenkins said and Elaine nodded to that.

"You planning on being medical doctor kiddo, you're really good at this?" Jenkins asked and she nodded to answer that. "Yeah, I'm actually working on advanced biology so I can get into a medical school here." she said and he smiled at that as Kristen turned to her. "One of my best friends being a medical doctor, that's going to help out a lot later." she said with a smile and Sheila smiled back at her. "If this is what being a patient recovering from a heart attack feels like I know what's coming here for the next few weeks, but since I'm a teenager I'm not at risk of high cholesterol levels here, just recovering from what that lunatic has been doing to me psychically thanks to this." she added and he looked at her at that as he got ready to write up that list.

"As for the fruit juice kiddo whatever you like is what your house keeper is getting, but you're off the cola products and soda pop till after you're fully recovered from this and it's going to take a few weeks, so no more carbonation products till after the town meeting, but that means your diet is high doses of proteins, carbohydrates, calcium and and everything that has it, I know half this stuff has tryptophan in it, but it's just going to helps you sleep now too, as for the sugar products, the sugar is getting cut in half to what it was before and only that as of now till you're completely recovered, and that means in case of snacks, fruit, and some more healthier items here, there's some granola bars that have chocolate chips in them and a few other approved items that Erin and I are going over here, but the cookies and candy are down to the lowest amount now, but a quick suggestion on that is making a snack mix of raisins, peanuts and whatever your favorite candy at the movie theater is, okay." he said and she nodded to that idea.

"Never mind another hypnosis test here, we got one of the sleep rooms in this hospital here?" Darrel asked and they nodded as Jenkins thought it over. "Alright we're taking two hours here in explanations and we can finish up in there, come on." Jenkins said and they nodded and headed for the room and he waved her to the bed then. "Honey I'm on stand by, if he shows up call me in at the exact same time here, okay." Rick said and she nodded as they got her hooked up then and she took a deep breath and relaxed then as she laid down, as she felt her exhaustion beginning to take hold.

"Jane is in the booth, but I'm taking care of your arm, so expect some slight pain while I'm doing it, because it's going to be a needed minor surgery and your arm is in endanger of getting infected here, so I'm doubling the dose of painkillers and antibiotics to make sure you don't suffer a case of septicemia during the recovery, okay baby." Jenkins said and she nodded to that.

"I remember the trio, but I'd have to see things in Tina's memories to do it, but this could be a while, if you want the truth of my reaction that morning it's the first chapter guys, it'll tell you everything you need to know. Kin, what I told you was part of it, but everything about that dream is in that chapter, one more thing, don't read these at night guys, not after what you all saw last night okay." she said and they nodded as they sat down next to her and she fell asleep as he ran his hand through her hair as she slept as he set up an IV into her shoulder then. As Jack removed her shoes and covered her with another blanket, before sitting on the edge of her bed with Rob and Derek standing next to him with a concerned look as they waited, as he set up the electrodes to her head, so they could monitor her blood pressure and neural activity.
