Chapter 54: Lucid Dreaming and Truths Unfold
"Tina, no this isn't real, you're dead." she said and Tina sighed. "What's left of my memories are what you're about to see sis, I know you miss me, but he may have my soul, but you have your memories of me, Rod and Glen, focus on that here, focus on your memories of us and nothing else, like you said he's got our souls, but you got our powers, use those powers as a conduit into our fifteen year old memories though we're in the bodies of our twenty three year old selves here." she said to her softly.
"She's right baby sister, you're seeing our memories of what went on when he killed us, to understand we're leading you in that direction, the quartet are doing the same to help if you're planning on making these movies you need to see everything." Rod said gently and she nodded. "Have you been watching everything when it came to me and the others?" she asked and they nodded. "Yes we have, and I wanted to kill him or rather all five of them, for hurting you like that. Don't cry it's okay." Glen said gently and she swallowed as she answered him.
"How are you able to do this, he's a master manipulator?" she asked and Rod explained that to her. "He's got our souls, but God gave us a chance for you to see us by tapping into your last remaining memories of us, to free us, Alice is going to have to use all her knowledge of the dream master information, she frees us and every kid he killed and he's left as nothing but his clothes and glove till he comes back again, but don't give him any more strength."
"Kristen, as the youngest you know the most about what to do, but it's going to take all of you to put an end to him in that escapade, all of you combining your powers together and giving them to Alice, our parents have closure now, they know I'm innocent, but only you can free me now by getting the truth out, avenge us by protecting every kid in town." he said and she nodded. "Uncle Donald knows you're innocent Rod, as do the trio and Henderson, but how do we prove it, we can't find the glove yet?" she asked and he explained that to her.
"Everything in the house was moved around, but the basement by the back door is where everything he was using on 'our' age group was and the kids two years older than you were, but the glove he used the most, the one that killed us ended up somewhere else somehow, it's at the plant, go there and get it, it's in his old boiler room, the office at it has what's left of his old clothes and stuff, but the glove is there, so get it and tell the forensic team to run blood typing on it, every kill made by it is added to the layers, hers was the first." he said and she nodded to that as she looked at the trio then as she tried to hold it in then.
"Kris, you had it right where I was concerned, I never wanted to be avenged that way, Uncle Richard lost his mind, if he'd just listened to your mother and Uncles Donald and Damian, our family and every family that had a child taken away from it would be intact. Do what needs to be done now, protect your gang and every kid in town by your new protocols and get those old fools into the hospital, they're out of their minds. You'll have me with you watching over you guys, but you need to move forward now." Daniel Parker told her and she nodded to that.
Seeing him, she could see he taken on his twenty three year old appearance then as she answered him. "Why did it have to be you who was his breaking point, he couldn't care less he destroyed me, as long as Krueger was gone, I lost seven brothers and sisters and a friend has to live with the guilt he killed sixteen people and started a plague through our graduating class?" she asked and he sighed. "His mind was already warped by the amount of alcohol he'd taken in by the time he was thirty two Kris, none of this is your fault, it never was, it's on his head and he's getting the consequences for his actions finally, but you have to move forward now."
"Our parents are worried enough about you, but your body can't take that amount of stimulate without side effects, you have to let go of the past and give your body time to heal, physically and emotionally, now and with that let go of your fears and focus on what you have to do, you've got our parents and what's left of our childhood gang, but now you have to use that and make sure no one else loses their children, here, you need my powers." he said and flashed his ability to her then.
"What's your ability exactly?" she asked him and he smiled as he answered that. "Kin's got water, you've got fire, but now you've got ice as well too, I'm also telekinetic, your powers are the strongest of the four of you, because you're the one who has the gift to bring people in, use it and use these to protect every kid in town from him." he said to her as Rod added on to it. "Joey's got my power, but you've got them and Nancy with you, it's going to be fine, just don't hold it in any more, that what's keeping you from healing right now here, and with that, it's time to let go now." Rod said and Daniel nodded to that as she answered him.
"How can I guys, if it wasn't for that old windbag, the quartet would still be alive and if it hadn't been for Richard I wouldn't be in the conditions I am now. Richard destroyed my life and destroyed two thirds of the young gang, I'll never forgive him for that, I have the quintet back, but my power is getting dangerous, I can't lose anyone else, I lost the quartet and nearly lost the trio, my godfather and then my father."
"And with the fact I've done it with the entire family now, if they're killed it's going to kill me in the process and I'm the only one with memories of the trio after the trial, as if that's not enough, that attack attempt was way too close, it's going to be years, before I get over it." she said and Rod went into that. "You remembered enough to know he was dangerous Kris, he forgot everything about us, but that was his undoing now, by trying it on you, he exposed himself to the cops and now he's behind bars, just give every detail in metaphorical highlights to the jury in the trial, so he sees his own stupidity that way, and then lay it on the table, you're the key witness, use that against him now." he said and she nodded as she looked at him at that.
"My last remaining memories of you three are what helped me find Rodriguez, I wish I still had you protecting me back then, I miss you guys so much, though I'm still pissed your father decided to do what Richard did Glen, I didn't want to let you go, but Joey and Kin did the exact same stunt you did Rod, he used the exact same wording you used when he tried it on me." she said and he pulled her into a hug and she burrowed into his arms then. "It's okay, we're not with you, but you've got us watching over you now, just never forget us, tell Nancy that we miss her and we'll always be with all of you." he said and she nodded to that.
"You were all that mattered to me at the trial, you had it right, I wanted to be a cop, I may have gotten in trouble a few times with Uncle Donald, but I was just fifteen at the time, my plans were fighting it out on the streets as a Narc, if I didn't get it into the NFL, this was my back up plan, I wanted to be a like Uncle Donald, and protect you girls from guys like Adam, if I'd been alive and known he was working at the hospital I'd have killed him myself for trying it on you, but you, Jenny and Taryn were all that mattered to me when you were Cubs, I've always been watching over you."
"Our parents are back together, but we make sure we don't die in vain and the only way to do that is by making sure we never lose another kid, Kris, as time goes on our powers will only get stronger, you can pull people in, but with time you can bring things in as well, like you did with the crossbow, just keep honing your powers, Joey's got my power, use it and use everything Aunt Elaine taught you, the lord only gave us two hours to do this, so we better make it quick though." he said and she nodded as she heard another voice she missed dearly.
"You guys were really like one of the X-men in here?" she asked and he nodded. "Yeah, that was my ability, ever since dealing with Rodriguez I'd been carrying that switch-blade in case I got jumped by his associates, I just thank god he never touched you like that, because if he had and we'd been alive I would have killed him for it, justified or not, I'm not losing you that way baby sister, Kin and Joey took our places, but we've been protecting you even though we're not around." he said to her and she nodded to that as another voice joined in the conversation then.
"Kris, do what you have to do, but make sure we don't die in vain, protect our family and the rest of our town." she heard and saw Philip standing behind her and she threw herself into his arms. "God I find you and then he takes you from me, I want you back." she said and he sighed. "That third movie focuses on us, just remember the time we spent together, you had the chance to have us back, don't take that for granted, just make him pay for this, it's time to put everything we learned to use, you may not want to remember everything, but you're going to have to read your own manuscript, it's time to face your memories of when we found each other Kris, this is your closure in the emotional therapy, read your book okay." Will told her and she nodded to that as she hugged him and the girls then.
"Honey, if you need everything, it's going to take exactly two hours in our cases, but we don't have much time, before he turns things back here." she heard an adult voice say and turned to see Marge Thompson standing there. "Aunt Marge, but I thought he killed you as well?" she asked and Marge nodded. "It was that and the fact I couldn't live with the guilt baby, your sister is just like Donald, she wanted the truth, I'm sorry for what this has done to you guys, baby listen to me, you'll alway have us with you, but now you need to face your fears against him, my daughter is alive, because of you, our familial quartet is intact, I may be gone, but your godfather has me in spirit now."
"Donald and I nearly sacrificed ourselves to protect you kids, make us proud and make sure no child suffers the same fate as the others, honey tell Donald that I'll always love him, but focus on taking care of our daughter and you, you're all that matter to us, you and the boys, we'll always be with you, just focus on what needs to be done, and tell your mother and Donald they'll have me with them in spirit now, the twenty will know I'm with them in spirit if not for real, but tell them to carry out what we set out to do to protect the junior population of our town, we did it to protect you, but now we do it to protect everyone, in the right way." she said and she nodded as she looked at her,
"Is dad who you would have chosen if you met him at the time when she came home from school." she asked and Marge smiled. "Yes he's exactly who I would have chosen baby, up until Krueger, your godfather and I were together and we were happy, I wish we got the chance to watch you grow into who you are now, but I've been watching over you since that day he killed me, just from here, to free us, you have to combine every piece of dream lore and Alice's knowledge of dreams to free the seventy seven and by doing that you free us as well." she said and Kristen nodded as another voice added onto it, before he could though she continued on gently
"Kristen, what you've done so far is good, but it's time to expand it now, don't let what Adam has done to you keep you from making the right choices, to be a good person is to forgive and let go, you remember what Father O'Hara taught you, to make them understand, teach them by putting them in their own classes, in their own versions of a personal hell, by walking thirty five miles in your shoes and the shoes of the other girls, of Neil's patients in the hospital, of being teenage girls, of recovering drug addicts. Everything they've done to hurt the patients and you girls should be a teaching tool, Adam is going to understand after he sees it from the other side of the street."
"As for the quartet of psychiatrists, teach them by putting them in the ward with the dementia patients, everything they've done to you children is being used on them, and as for the cafeteria staff leader he's taking this lesson himself, everything by teaching them what you've dealt with should be used on them now, while Adam, once he's past his first year gets a much better life, get them to change the sentence to his working for Uncle Rick, my father-in-law, Uncle Dave and my parents gang, and in exchange sweeten the deal of his sentence by offer every convenience to a life that rivals living in the Plaza hotel, for him and the girls that were jailed."
"While they get store credit and can go shopping and he lives a life of working for the state department and getting a much better life than what he used to have during his lesson plan, said life a five star hotel life, in some of the most expensive cities in the world, and with it everything that come from being rich, much better food than what they normally service, every convenience, new clothes, living a life that rivals living in New York, and to top it off being an in the prison guard as he works as an informer." she said and Kristen nodded as she thought that over, before she answered her.
"So a life sentence, but it's a lesson by walking thirty five miles in a woman's shoes and the same for the trio, they're walking thirty five miles in a patient's shoes by having every one of their theories and protocols turned on them on full blast and the kitchen staff leader is getting his by having his food and drinks spiked repeatedly is that it, as he sees being a recovering drug, alcohol or smoking addict, and suffers his own hallucinations from over exposure to drugs as he lives that life himself now, while Adam works for the adult gang and lives a life of luxury later on after his first year."
"Okay I see what you're saying and you're right, but mom, dad and Aunt Erin are not going to take your suggestions well when I decide to tell them this." she said and she sighed. "They may not like it, but it's an act of redemption for alł of them now, the lord is ready to throw them to lucifer now, but I talked it over with him that this would be better, let them see what it's like as they suffer and find redemption in suffering the pains they've all placed on others, only then will he allow them to be allowed into heaven, we're Catholic, but sometimes only suffering an act of personal damnation can your soul be free to return to where it once lived, that's an act of God, use it now." she said and Kristen nodded to her, before she could answer another voice cut in.
"Parker, I made a few mistakes at work, I know that, but with what happened, Walsh needs to understand he was not in control of his actions, tell him he's not to be blamed for my death, I shouldn't have been at work let alone catching him like that, but nothing was personal, my successor is what I'm not, I was a soldier, so switching careers is not easy, being a marine is not something you can use when you're a teacher, I've seen my successor and the boys all love him, he's everything I'm not, but he's not to be blamed for what happened to me." Carl Schneider added as another voice added on to it.
"Coach when did you move to town exactly, if you didn't know who Freddy was exactly, Grady knew and his family lived here since we were four years old, they arrived right after the trial?" she asked and he sighed. "I moved here nine years ago, if you kids were eight years old at the time, I didn't know, because my generation was keeping him quiet, I didn't know what he looked like or his weapons, but I may have fueled his anger to get him possessed. I also wish I'd just left him and Grady alone when they needed it, because their bonding was something I was trying to work out after you saw them from your side of the field at the time, but I didn't know it resulted in them both hating me till I pushed it too far, but that's my undoing." he said and Marge looked at him as she remembered her denial and choice to tell the kids that night.
"Carl if you weren't so hard on your students he wouldn't have been possessed in the first place that night, the poor boy was scared enough for some reason, but that you catch him with that beer and force him to do several rounds around the gym, it just fueled his anger giving Krueger enough power to take control that night. I decided to cut the losses and tell my baby the truth, but my choice killed who was to become my future son-in-law, we make choices we can't take back, but now our friends are the ones dealing with the fall out and that's the catch now."
"Baby, if you free the seventy seven you'll end up freeing us as well, we're stuck in limbo, with the fact you gave the alarm last night, our family is in one piece, but to make sure it stays that way you need to keep taking your medicine, and heal the damage to the town, because of him, every generation of the last forty years taking care of the youngest and future generations, that's our salvation, we fight to protect, but the twenty do it legally, Rick made the mistake, that's his undoing, tell your godfather that his and the others salvation is by doing it in the right way now, get the entire adult population involved, every person, every parent, at his trial."
"For the salvation of the entire adult population of the town, we all wanted him dead, but everyone else didn't want to be the ones to do it, but we all share that guilt, killing him in cold blood and Rick's drinking caused this, for the sake of our, the adult gang's redemption and salvation they, and every parent in town who lost their children to him, must band together and protect every child in town, but your generation needs to face your fears and keep him contained, your gang and Jesse's must face off with him to free us and the seventy seven, and all six age groups, from Jeff, to my daughter, you and younger, all the adults, from thirty five to elderly must band together to protect every child in town now."
"My generation's redemption is protecting every kid in town our gang made the mistake and we're fixing it, but now every parent and adult in town must do the same, and they do that and God is and will be on our side, but Jesse needs to forgive himself. What happened to the fifteen was not his fault, he had no control over his actions, he was possessed, no control at all, to put it bluntly here he was the host, the damn bastard is a parasite, he possessed his body like a parasite, no control over his actions, he's not responsible." she said and a voice added on to that statement then.
"Honey as of now you need to keep your strength up, and stick with your gang, but you and Jesse's gang need to combine now, you're separated now, but thirteen will make you stronger and if you gain three more train them the same way, you're the true survivors here, so you're the ones leading your school now. Take care of my babies, you'll have me in spirit now, but remember you have to work together, the decision to make that story was the right one, pass it to every parent who lost their children in the last eight years, they need to know the truth now of what happened to their children and of what killed them." she heard and saw her mother-in-law standing there.
"Mom, I've taken care of dad and Alice for you, she's starting to heal, as is he, but where do you want me to lead her exactly?" she asked and she explained that. "You, Alice and Carrie Becker have all taken different portions of dream skills and learned quite a bit from them, but now you must combine them, your knowledge of movie criminology and law and government together to protect every kid in town honey, Jesse's not to blame he's a victim, just like you are, he needs to face his fears now." Hannah said and she nodded as someone added on to her statement then.
"She's right Kris, what happened to me and the fourteen at the pool party that night was not his fault, do what you have to now, but make sure we don't die in vain, like Rod said if Alice uses her knowledge of Dreams that will free us, but the nine of you, Jesse, Dean and the girls need to combine your dream powers together to put an end to it, but to do that Jess needs to face his fear and guilt at killing me, the thirteen of you together, along with Nancy, can free us, but to do that you need to face your fears."
"My gang was me, Jesse, Derek and Dean, and the girls, if they just added another boy to the group, that makes seventeen and if you add three more that makes twenty, but, not to mention our brothers and sisters, but that's the new leadership, show my parents, and protect our sisters, only you can do it by playing by the rules and change them now to our ways he's screwing around with the chessboard, just change it directions and reset the chessboard, and you direct the pieces, starting this summer."
"He's neutralized as a dream stalker, in here, but his soul lives on as a poltergeist afterwards, so he'll still be screwing around in the town that way, but the junior population is safe, enforce the rules that caused us to be killed, but do whatever you have to to protect the entire junior population now, and the only way to do that is by telling the entire class what caused it and Jesse takes it from there, your gang, and mine, are the leaders of the class council, you have to protect the entire younger population by enforcing those rules in our high school and college." Ron Grady said and she nodded to that.
"To do that, name it off and he'll figure it out, we broke the rules and it killed us, Rod and Tina died giving into their hormones that night and he's framed for rape and murder, my friends by drinking at the pool party that's number two, me by not waking him up fast enough that night, and I was separated from our class and that's number three and her by the drugs, which were not her fault, and with that enforce the first two rules and have the cops get involved in that, and make sure, when you're with our class and are having our class parties that they never separate from the rest of the group during our class get-togethers here and fall asleep while they're doing it no less, because we've got five years to wait, before it's safe."
"Do what needs to be done now, our generation and the younger ones need a protector, you guys are the survivors now, protect our brothers and sisters, and our friends as well as the future generations of our town now." he said and Eric added on to his statement then. "Honey, I died giving my life to get that message to you, do what needs to be done now and make sure those old fools, and Walters, pay for this, the drugs are still running rampant in the adult ward for some reason, we need to get him out of the hospital, make them pay for this." Eric said and she nodded as she looked at Will then. "I'm making sure you get the proper burial Eric, you've died a hero and I'm going to make sure you and the duo, and Aunt Marge, get the tributes you deserve."
"I'm making sure these movies are in tribute to what we work for guys, our family is intact, I'm making sure we stay in one piece as of now." she said and he nodded. "Our parents took and take it seriously then where you and the trio are concerned now, but enough of the sleep deprivation, our parents are furious at that, you can't keep doing that, to heal up completely you have to let go and give your body the rest it needs Kris, you keep this fear with you and you're never going to move forward, time to let go now." Taryn said to her gently and she sighed to that.
"I was holding it in for close to month after you were killed I'll never forgive 'her' for that, I still carry that fear I'll lose the sextet next and with the fact I used it on my friends and Rick I lose everyone and it will kill me." she said and Tina answered that. "So long as you guys take your medication and our parents don't do anything stupid that'll never happen Kris, but if you want to completely heal from this it's time to let go of the past, you've remade our future simply by calling that meeting, dad's home and he loves you just as much as the quintet do, you're the baby of the gang, but it's time you let them do their jobs of taking care of you, so you can heal completely now, take your medication, put them behind bars and finish and read your book, baby." she said softly and she pulled her into a hug and she tightened her arms around her gently.
"We'll always be with you Kris, remember us like this, your memories of us were the good times, Richard screwed up, our parents didn't and with that, their salvation is by protecting every kid in town, every parent that was at the trial fifteen years ago, their salvation is by making sure he never touches another child and with that, make those movies as tribute to what you're fighting for here, our family is intact, and we keep it that way, what's left to heal now is by facing your memories and reading your book sis, that's the last piece of closure of what happened just read the book when it's done."
"As for your plans where the trio are concerned, your way of mercy in Adam's case is showing him what it's like to be a woman, before you grant his wish of male companionship, in there, give him a year, before he gains his new brothers, because these rapists, if they're all targeting teenage girls are getting a chance to see it from your side of the line and they've got each other, as they create their own gang as he's reunited with his girlfriend. If he decides to give his boss to you on a silver platter, he's getting an in the prison pardon, but he's never seeing his freedom again."
"As Aunt Marge said for him and his life in the prison from the second year forward sweeten the deal for him by placing him in the female ward, and he's around every woman who was busted for doing what he had, after a year he's working as a prison guard and then the female side of the prison gets several upgrades to making his life a lot more comfortable from that day forward, as he's a prison guard, and a former prisoner, he's getting much better food, and getting some added activities in the rec room of the female ward, while he's with his girlfriend, but he and his girlfriend get a life of luxury and in the prison pardons." Glen said and she nodded to that. "I'm showing you what happened the night of the riot at the pool party here." Grady added to her as Will finished his sentence.
"You saw Philip, but you didn't see me, Taryn and Jenny, so you're going to see what happened in those dreamscapes that night, though Jenny was sleepwalking she wound up in hers by accident that night, just keep your memories focused on us, like Rod said we only got two or three hours in here, so we make it fast, as for that, we're going through every memory you've got of us to." Will said and she nodded as they started with Taryn then as she saw what happened to her sister the night of the busts.
'Alright that's one, I was right.' she thought as she saw the seven in their own last hours of life and saw what needed to be exactly right in the movies, before her two and a half hours were up as she saw every memory of their toddlerhood together and smiled, as it shifted to the five days she spent with the duo, before they were killed and as it ended she looked around the house then and saw the damage in certain areas, before she heard a metallic screech then.
The Real World
"Jack you and Rob stay close, if whatever goes on in there suddenly causes a loss of control she's going to lose control over her actions, so we're going to have to restrain her if that does happen." Neil said and they both nodded to that. "I can't believe this, she was hiding that fact from us for two weeks, she's grounded for a week for this." Jared said to him and he nodded to that. "Yeah well with the fact she's home from school we can consider this a house arrest till she's recovered from the sleep deprivation, this surgery and the caffeine withdrawal, which I don't doubt is going to mean one of us is in the room with her." Donald said to him at that.
"With the fact I haven't gotten started back at work I'll cover that area Donald, while the six of you catch up, because I'm talking to her myself on this, evidently she let her survival instincts take over completely to go for this particularly drastic measure, but since I'm the one she hasn't seen in twelve years I'll stay in the room, if she suffers a sudden jolt in the rebound." Derek said and Erin looked at him. "Good thing she's as close to you as she is to the sextet, because she's reverted back to her little girl stage since she's been with them and she's going to need you just like she needs them now." she said and he nodded to that as he looked at her.
"What are usual plans now for the gang here exactly, if you're getting together?" Adam asked and Derek smiled as he answered him. "We got together for family barbecues and a bunch of other get togethers, family holidays, it's always a gang family time, I know they restarted that, and with the fact that the gang is now up to thirty six people, we're usually up at Elaine's father house and the girls, both age groups, cover holiday dinners." he said and the nine nodded to that as Elaine added on to his statement.
"Are your parents still alive, I want to meet the elder generation of your gang?" he asked and she smiled. "Our parents still work, in fact dad is the highest ranking judge in town now and I doubt they're going to mind when they hear that the family tripled in size now, speaking of which, Derek, you better call your folks back from Midland, time to come home now, because if what my daughter is about to tell us is what I'm thinking, we need the oldest four generations taking care of the youngest six to pull this off." she said and he nodded in agreement to that.
"Yeah, Sarah, you mind if I move back in with you, we can just get remarried again and we can start over now." he said and she smiled and kissed him. "Not at all, new house, new start and our family is intact now, so we just heal the rest of the kinks now, and we can start over by having more children again that way too, though Fred's not taking our youngest from any of us whatsoever this time around, we protect them, we do it our way. Ricks choice destroyed us, and now we reverse that by protecting them the right way." she said and he smiled and Adam looked at then gently as he answered that.
"After seeing him in the flesh last night, I'm killing the duo for doing that to her, so he overheard every conversation they had with Adam and Marcie huh, well game's up. To change the subjects. What's your house-keeper's thoughts to seeing the gang this much now since you got back together and you're doing the cooking on these family get togethers?" he asked her and she chuckled as she answered him.
"Where these family barbecues and get togethers are concerned, normally we're the ones doing the cooking and we let Teresa have these days off, but she's satisfied I'm back to normal and she's seeing the entire gang nearly every day now." Elaine said and he nodded. "With the adult gang twice the size it was before, we better start tripling the amount of food used for those barbecues here, on top of full family get-togethers." Adam said and she nodded to that. "We better keep Tiger out of the tree this year, he's destroyed thirty Christmas ball ornaments in the side of six weeks last Christmas, at least it was a real tree, so he's able to climb though it, because once he's an adult he's going to knock it over with his weight." Neil said and she started laughing at that.
"Yeah well that's a kitten for you, he was tree climbing before deciding on playing soccer for a while, though he keeps it up and and he's going to hurt himself next, best to get him the ones the size of his paw then the size of his head here and keep the bottom branches covered with them so he's able to play, though if I get a second kitten and it's going to be soccer matches all over the living room next Christmas." she said and they looked at her. "Who got her a cat exactly, Rick hates cats?" John asked and Neil smiled at that. " I did, Elaine loves cats, as does my daughter, so I got Kristen a kitten for her birthday last year, so this helped in emotional therapy, everything Rick is in his personality, I'm not, in fact I'm everything she remembers in the ten of you."
"And secondly I spend as much time with her as she wants and she only sees me as her father now, with the six of you just rejoining the family expect the cat and the dog to be hanging around you a lot if you're at the house, because most of our get togethers are at Elaine's house, I got Elaine a cat for her birthday not long after the kids came home the hospital, and I've been acting like her younger brother, though I'm thirty six, so it's an eleven year difference here." he said and they nodded as Derek said it for all of them then.
"Yeah well one good thing here about that, if what I saw was any indication last night, but since none of us take in more than one glass of alcohol there's no more need of a designated driver here anymore." he said and they all nodded in agreement as she looked at Adam gently then.
"In your case, with the fact you're beginning to heal from that, you can still have the alcohol, but just mix the straight stuff with soda or fruit juice, that cuts back the alcohol content, and it's less likely to effect you Adam, because it's one part alcohol to three parts of whatever you're drinking with it like soda or fruit juice." she said and he nodded to that suggestion and knew it would help him to recover from the ethanol in his system as he said it out loud to her. "Yeah well if it's no more than one cup of alcohol in your case guys I'll start doing that when I'm with you, but switch drink areas till she's past her prohibition arrangement, and she's on probation till the day of the trial right." he said gently to her and she nodded in agreement as she answered him.
"Before you say it Adam, I'll gladly take you on as a patient, with the gang back together, I'm the family medical doctor, while Jane and Daniel have known our kids since they were babies at the time, so they decided when the kids were here to be their medical doctors." Erin said to him over the radio then and he nodded. "Like me she's in de-tox from these drugs, fortunately for her caffeine's a less potent drug than ethanol is." he said and she sighed as Elaine said it for her then.
"Yeah well till her body's completely drained of the caffeine, I'm switching sodas for the first three weeks after the trial, since that's our first real victory here, because every kid in town is protected from those maniacs, but she's only getting one cup of root beer and that's it that night, and then I'm switching to the pink or yellow lemonade in her case, and once the town meeting is done with the probation is over and she gets the junk food back." she said and he nodded to that as Derek answered her then.
"Okay she said once she's finished with the last twelve to thirty pages and that's going to be by the middle of next week, I'm copying them several times, whatever number we need and putting them into the books we're giving to her teachers and Jason later, Elaine, but I can get a study plan for her set up and get a schedule worked out while she's in recovery, but you want me to explain why we're yanking her from school for six weeks when I get the material from her teachers, or do we let her do it?" he asked and she gently answered that. "We let her do that." she said to him and he nodded.
"Guys you better listen to this introductory chapter, she's giving a warning to who is reading this book that what they're about to read is not false, but entirely true, because this includes your encounter with the bastard Uncle Donald." Alice said and Donald looked at her. "What's it say exactly if she's telling us this now honey?" He asked and she read out the message to the forty five adults in the room.
"Dear readers the story you're about to read is about a danger in our town that has been here since the day the Slasher disappeared. What you're about to read is based on live accounts of the lives of the people who lived on the block with him in the beginning, this story is going to be from the third person, but it's from the memories of the author.'
'This book accounts things from the start of the outbreak to when the author and her gang members started school again, but everything shows what happened to the author and her gang members in the Westin Hills Psychiatric Hospital, but the criminals have been brought to justice. The current head of the Teenage Psychiatric program, the teenage orderly team and the medical department and head of the hospital had no knowledge of what the criminal quartet were doing and are innocent of all charges, or more accurately the criminal trio, the fourth turned himself in when the author caught him.'
'Starting from the time you read this the new leader of the Psychiatric department is the adoptive father of the author, who has also had his life changed by the events of what you're about to read. The criminals had hurt him severely emotionally and this is going to show why that is.'
'And he too suffered from what the trio have done, while every person mentioned in the hospital members of the story have a link, the ones involved the most have a deeper bond to the victims than the reader would suspect so with that, what you're about to read will disturb and anger you with what you will learn here in this novel now.'
'But the true criminals, the trio, are the original head and second in command of the Psychiatric department, who were partners to the Cradle Nightingale, before he turned them in with himself, along with the doctor who was giving diagnosis's to every single patient that was killed as is the kitchen staff leader, these five are part of a criminal group that is getting culled. While the Nightingale surrendered himself straight to the author's father, the others are now under arrest.'
As to that, everything written into this story you're holding is true and the names of the victims that they killed or hurt will be kept the same but this story is for the eyes of the town locals only, and you'll learn why when the trial day arrives, because our town is going to be suffering a permanent change two weeks after the trial, which will be two months after you read this, and the author is back in school.'
'As for the criminal duo and who they were accomplices for, you will learn everything they done to the children under their care, so be warned what you're about to read is disturbing, and is going to be more upsetting then most criminal and horror movies you see on tv, because this is entirely true. Because this will be looking into the dreams and minds of the victims that were killed, before they died, the dreams of the author will be the most disturbing ones, because they will show everything that traumatized the victim, and explains the reason for the flashbacks you noticed.'
'Thank you and be warned, the first chapter is going to account a dream that shows what happened to the unexplained suicides, but this is going from an opening sequence to what happens before the author herself winds up in the hands of the criminal trio." Alice read out and they nodded as they exchanged looks as Sarah said it for all them. "Thanks for the warning baby, we needed that, alright if we're reading these, best do it during the day after what we all saw last night guys." she said and the thirteen and their cop and Doctor friends all nodded to that in agreement.
There's one last note here as well and it's for the faculty guys, and it explains why you're pulling her out of school here, this must be the conversation she had with Benson yesterday, before we left class, because there were two more classes before school let out to." She said and Adam looked at the added letter written to the faculty as he read out the next message to the them and the faculty. 'Dear teachers, the purpose of this book was to let you know the reason I'm out of school for the next six to seven weeks, I'll be taking a medical sabbatical, but I'll make sure I stay caught up in school to graduate next year, as to how my family is reorganizing an at home schooling for me during my sabbatical.'
'And my uncle Derek Gray is going to be acting as my personal tutor so any lessons you're teaching us at the current moment and notes you want me to remember for the finals you can give to him, before I return for the last six weeks to eight weeks of the term, since we got three and a half months I'm taking six of the fourteen weeks in a home schooling session, everything you want me to remember give it to my uncle.'
'As I said what you're about to read is going to make all of you want to have their heads on a platter, because every word of what you're about to read is true. I found my toddler gang when I arrived at the hospital that year and this is going to explain what happened to them, Ron Grady, the fourteen at the pool party and the fifty five murders on top of them, as well as Rod Lane, Tina Grey and Glen Lantz when they too were killed eight years ago, but it gives a new explanation to how the house on Elm Street looks the way it does now, as well as the rumors that were flying around about Lieutenant Thompson's daughter, which happen to eighty percent correct."
" 'But this will explain everything that was driving every parent, specialist and adult in town crazy about the suicide outbreak, as well as everything you saw about your students and why they were all looking the way they did, because they, and I, all shared these factors to us, but what you're about to read is from the eyes of the daughter, and grand-daughter, of the jury leader and the judge, and they are all from a point of view that no adult ever sees coming and it's because it's not a suicide outbreak at all, but a junior population genocide by a long dead homicidal maniac.'
'Said maniac employed factors that adults never see coming here, as to why, it's because you were looking at the wrong conclusions at the time before the outbreak ended, the new source for the outbreak is in the current media of the last twelve to fourteen years of movies and books, all of them focused on several serial killers in said movies and two from a well known author who's known for his scary stories, that's your source of how every kid in town that died pushed themselves past the breaking point, but everything written down gives a conclusion to what the classes that are focused on what this trial and book are about will be about now."
'Be warned though, what you learn in this story is going to shock you, those of you who have lived here all your lives and moved here in the last ten years, because the holdout is now in the psychiatric hospital himself, for life, because as you're about to read I've had my life destroyed by the holdout, and he's paying the consequences for it now out of a permanent commitment hearing and hospitalization at the hospital."
'So you and every parent who lost their children to the maniac you're about to read about, you don't have to ask for him to be put in jail, it's already been done for you, said jail the snake pit 'he' landed me in, but from this day forward I never want to talk about him, because this story and the trial will tell you everything you want to know, the conclusions as to why are inside this story, but I never want to be reminded of the trauma, so don't ask why this happened or it'll cause the flashbacks you saw.'
'But as the previous note said, this trial is going to mean several permanent changes for Springwood, after the trial, my grandfather will be calling a town meeting two weeks after it, so the oldest members of the town population can prepare for what's coming next, as it changes things in the high school and middle school curriculum, because when I'm back I'm acting as my class president and my gang are the junior class council, so we're leading the entire school in the new changes after this.'
'But I will be back in school seven weeks after you read this, in the mean time, just give my brothers and gang the tests, homework and lessons so I can do my schoolwork from my house and pass your lesson plans to my uncle, a copy of your textbooks as well, he'll do your classes for you in my case, and since I got a minor gym at my house, I can do P.E. at home as well too, seen you soon, K. Parker.', he read out and they nodded to that.
"Nice touch, she's giving them the reason we pulled her out of school for the next six to seven weeks, she said its going to be the middle of next week, before she finishes the book, so I'll bring these with me when I go talk to Jason and her teachers next Thursday."
"So starting tomorrow she's home all day, though tomorrow is a weekend and with that, I'll cover getting that permission slip to Shaye for you and give him and her teachers the copies of her manuscript, while getting their lesson plans for the week and I can tutor her while I get the added tests from the quintet, because I just got back here, and your suggestion is a good idea, but till we get things changed around I'm off duty and I can work with her." Derek said and Jared looked at him as he said his thoughts on the subject then, before he could though Sarah looked at him then.
"She write out a synopsis to this, so we know what what the story is about?" Derek asked and Debbie nodded as she saw a page sitting on top of the opening summary. 'After ten months on the rampage Freddy Krueger, the Springwood Slasher, has put his sights on the last remaining member of the youngest portion of the block and decides that to wipe out the entire block all at once to get her hospitalized, not knowing his original enemy is back in town and is now reunited with the seven, with the help of his targets current psychiatrist, who is as determined as his enemy is to help his targets.'
'His enemy, Nancy Thompson, is now back in town and getting reports of repeated suicides and has accepted an internship in the Westin Hills psychiatric hospital, recovered from the loss of her quartet, she's now a grown psychiatrist specializing in dream therapy and is ready to put it to the test, but what she doesn't know is that the kids in question who were hospitalized are really the rest of her familial gang and her youngest arrives the same day she does, as she realizes what is really going on.'
'Nancy Thompson must now protect her now reunited younger gang with the help of her co-hart Neil Gordon, not knowing there is an even bigger danger there in the hospital, can she protect her younger members from them or will what's left of the block be destroyed, before she gets the news to her father, Lieutenant Donald Thompson, about the felony running loose in the hospital, because the current danger is a memory of another time that was the last time she saw her younger sister.' Well if that's not enough to catch a teenagers interest where books are concerned, nothing is right now." Debbie said and she nodded to that in agreement as Sarah answered her at that.
"What's the opening page to it exactly, because if she said not to read these at night I want to know why that is?" Sarah asked and she moved it forward slightly. 'Recovering from being possessed by Fred Krueger, Jesse Walsh has spent three months in the ward and during that time the owner of 1428 has gained enough power to get to the rest of the town, as the outbreak begins, it starts infecting the teenagers from the pool party to the entire freshman class of the seven members of the original block, to the rest of the town the block was infamous because it had the most well known middle age football, hockey and wrestling team members in town.'
'Two months after the Walsh family moved out of 1428 Elm street it laid empty for ten months and every month kept getting more run down and degraded, looking like a house that had been built in the 1700's, but no one goes near it now, because they all knew who lived in that house, for both the locals and the latest members living in the town, but little did they know that the soul of the original owner of the house has turned into a paranormal maniac and with eighteen lives destroyed has enough power to get to the rest of the town, because of the mistakes of one teenage girl as he begins his revenge on the rest of the families of the entire town now.'
'The blocks original residents have moved to other parts of the neighborhood, while the last remaining ones there were the targets of the original outbreak, before they too left the block and the sole survivor has changed and grown into a psychiatrist with a specialty in dreams, but doesn't remember the faces or memories of her seven younger neighbors, her younger brothers and sisters and they don't remember each other.'
'Eight years have gone by and they have not heard from each other in years, being forced to cut contact with each other, though they see each other every once in a while, they have not seen each other in eight years from the day of the Nightingale Trial when five of the children of the original block saw each other, but that's about to come to an end as the blocks biggest danger is about to bring the entire block back together after the ends of the latest outbreak as they see each other as young adults and teenagers, as they all meet in the one place they never expected at all and it's the origins of the legend of the Springwood Slasher.'
'As things start getting worse the block members start suffering the nightmares that their older block members dealt with and one by one they're admitted to the ward while the entire town starts suffering unexplainable suicides and murders. Every member of the current freshman class is suffering the exact same dreams and the medical experts and psychiatrists have no leads to what is going on till the survivor of the original outbreak moves back to town and the last remaining member of the seven ends up in the ward, as her nightmares take a turn for the worst and she sees the truth of what is really going on town and what became of the supposed suicides of the lost members of her freshman class.' she read out and Rick looked at her as he said what they're all thinking.
"Nice opening page there Kris I like it, okay first chapter and then we call it I'm reading the rest after dinner tonight, if it takes us two weeks to finish these, whatever happened in that ward I'm killing the quintet for, if she hates the duo this much, but the parts you skim, I'm reading completely here, because by the looks of this something had to have happened, before she wound up in the bathroom and he set her up, question is what is it." He said and she nodded as she looked at it.
"Okay Chapter 1: The Nightmare, 'To cope with another restless night, the latest victim begins work on a new art project, after two hours the project reaches it last stages as it takes form and turns into a house with green shutters and a green roof. Trying to stay awake, the victim pours a cup of coffee and turns the radio up, after another hour the noise has gotten so loud that her mother comes charging into the room.
'Are you crazy, you'll wake up the entire neighborhood?!' her mother snapped and she looked at her. 'Hi mom.' she says and her mother looked at her sternly. 'Don't hi mom me, what are you still doing up, its past one?' she asked and her daughter tries to fudge the answer. ' Just thought I wait for you.' she says and her mother sighs. 'Well I'm home, now you can get some sleep, now come on, Adele.' she said the girl stands up.
"Yeah I remember that and if it hadn't been for Adam I would have realized it sooner." Elaine said and she nodded. "Can't help that Elaine situations like this result in the victim's not being able to open up sooner here and if I'd been focusing I would have realized she was about to become my latest that night." Neil said to her and she nodded. "Alright, before I read this nightmare, she said it gets extremely disturbing, you want to just jump a few pages Aunt Elaine, so you know what it is she saw, if she told us a bit of it last night?" Alice asked and Donald answered that one.
"Yeah I want to hear what it is she saw." he said and she nodded as she read the page she flipped to next. "Wait didn't she say that this song was part of the legend and every Springwood born knows it, because they grew up here?" Darryl asked and they nodded. "Yeah songs from play that we stopped doing were one of the symptoms of dream and sleep deprivation, but in our case, we all knew it because we lived here all our lives, and our parents knew about the legend, because it started with us while Freddy was conceived by the seed of a hundred maniacs in that tower over there." Kincaid said and pointed out the window and he looked at the tower standing there.
"You all know that legend?" Bill asked them and they nodded. "Yeah the legend started with us and our biggest mistake was listening to Rick that night, we should have gone with our original decision, but we're doing it our way now and and we're in charge of the barricade. As to that the bastard is not touching another child if we've got anything to say about it." Donald said to him and he nodded in agreement to that one.
"Yikes as if that's not enough of horror story living here on the property we got one living in the town and 1428 is now a haunted house and I mean that literally, and she said the town had a more morbid back-history than we thought, but this is right up there with the Derry disease and the Gatlin cult, so he's conceived by the seed of a hundred maniacs, was born in a convent/psychiatric hospital and raised as a criminal till he crossed the line and killed first his father and then a couple of kids and his wife, before he lost his mind completely when we took Katherine away from him."
"And started killing ten more, got caught, tried and arrested, but was released on a technicality and you chose to destroy his stuff, while Rick lost his mind and decided on murder by burning at the stake and you've had to live with that decision for thirteen years?" Max asked and they all nodded to him. "Yeah and that's why she lost her temper that night, she finally figured out who the damn catalyst was and her catalyst was a dead beat dad and she finally exploded after holding it in for eleven years."
"Which explains why the kids decided on therapy by fooling around this much when we arrived, but we're going to keep up her emotional therapy till she's fully healed and the last and final steps here are the classes she's taking. Aunt Erin, Neil I think in this case for her to finish her emotional recovery from this to let her take the classes, it's for the best in her emotional recovery now." Nancy said and they nodded in agreement. "Good idea, and I don't doubt she's telling that to the faculty either at the town meeting, alright baby go ahead, what she see exactly?" Neil asked Alice and she got started in reading out the chapter to them then.
'As she laid there in bed she was staring at the model, before hearing a song and feeling a breeze and finds herself and the bed outside and looked over the top of the bed to find herself sitting in front of the house the model was based on and seeing six children playing, two sung out a song she knew and recognized as she walked past them to see a girl with blond hair and green eyes in a yellow dress riding a tricycle." She read out and he stopped her at that in shock.
"Kimberly, that's Kimberly, oh god no wonder she never wanted to talk about this, alright keep it going what happened here?" Jared said over the radio to her. "Jesus, she saw Kim first, who else did she see exactly, because all she mentioned was she saw what happened to our friends and the trio, Derek and Grady, but she didn't say what caused her to have that panic attack that morning." Kincaid said in shock and she went further.
