Chapter 6
Dance With The Devil
The kids there usually obey rules, but not this time. Norman was in the kitchen making a little midnight snack for him self. You wonder what kid like him is doing here. His father and mother yelled at him and abused him, for being over weight. Then one day he couldn't take it and ran away from home. Its been days since his parents caught up with him and he didn't care. He was rummaging through the fridge when he jumped to the sound of Jack's voice.
"What are you doing up?" Jack said as Norman looked up at him from a distance.
"I-I thought the power was out, so I was checking if nothing was spoiled," He explained.
"Naughty, naughty boy," Jack replied in Freddy's voice, "I think its time for you to go on a diet. Here, let me help."
Before Norman could react, Jack stepped forward, using his claws, slashed Norman's belly and ripped it out. Jack laughed as blood and guts spilled all over the linoleum floor. Norman slumped on the floor, dead.
The possessed Jack, then heard familiar noises. He followed them to a small gym. It was chanting, demonic chanting. As Freddy, he knew all about Satanism, Jack saw glowing lights glimmer in there. He came closer and saw a figure; it was Viper kneeling on the floor surrounded by candles.
Her parents hated Viper. She had little to no friends, and the friends that did have was into gothic and Satan. Her parents hated that and threatened her to "Be normal", or live on the streets. She chose the streets and ended up in the shelter.
As she continued her chant it was then interrupted by a voice. It was Jack.
"That's not the way to do it," he said, as Viper was startled to his voice.
"What do to mean?" Viper wondered looking at him. He was till in the dark, but Viper could recognized him.
"You're doing it all wrong," he said.
"So, you're an expert on Satanism now?" she asked.
"You could say that," he replied.
"So what am I doing wrong?"
"You're missing an important ingredient."
"What's that?" Viper asked raising a brow.
Jack's figure walked closer and replied darkly, "A human sacrifice."
Jack then whipped out Freddy's claws and rammed it in her throat. Viper cringed from death and fell on the floor. Jack in Freddy's voice, chanted the rest of the words and ended, "Oh Satan, take this pathetic sole and burn her in hell forever." He laughed madly and disappeared in the dark hall, in search for the others.
Alicia awoke from her sleep. She thought she heard a noise within the building. She looked over and saw Peter sound asleep. She didn't want to wake him, but she didn't know what that noise was. It could be her boss coming for her again. She got out of bed and went over to Peter.
"P-Peter?" She whispered to his ear, "Peter are you awake?" He groaned a bit, "Peter," she repeated.
"What is it? Go away," he mumbled.
"Peter, I think i heard a someone down stairs," She said.
Peter groaned again and popped an eye up to her.
"It was probably Norman or Viper," he replied, "is it one yet?"
"No but," Alicia started.
"Go back to sleep," Peter said, "And don't wake me up until then."
But Alicia couldn't go back to sleep, knowing that her boss is still out there looking for her. She decided to go to the bathroom for a bit. Peter then snuggled back to slumber land. Peter's past is the most mysterious one. When he came in, he was already living in the streets. Has been since he was five. He had no idea what happened to his portents or family. Maggie though thinks he's playing a charade, just staying here for free.
Unknown to him a dark figure walked up the stairs. He looked around and saw Peter in his bed. He envied Peter. If only he could enter his subconscious and see what he was dreaming. He could find his fears and transform it into his worse nightmare, his true realm. But that itself is a dream that can come true. He crept forward towards Peter's bed. Peter moved a bit and the figure wondered what he was dreaming, but it didn't matter any more. He moved his hand and fingers so it made a clinging noise. He looked towards the bathroom door and saw a light was emitting from the bottom. He had to work quietly and quickly. He grabbed the covers and ripped them away. Peter groaned and awoke.
"What the hell?" he said, "Alicia I-" He looked and saw Jack in front of him. He was grinning like reaper that he truly is. His claw was in his hand and ready to strike. "Holey Shit! Ja-?"
But before Peter could finish his sentence, Jack thrust his blades in his throat as chuckled lightly. Peter garbled and struggled. It looked like he was having a seizure, then every muscle in his body stopped moving.
"So much for sleeping in late," Freddy's voice commented, "Now you can sleep forever."
His insane laughs were interrupted by a horrific scream. Jack turned and saw Alicia in the bathroom doorway. She was so petrified what she saw, she didn't move a muscle. Jack smiled to her as their eyes were stuck with each other.
"Look what we have here," He said, "A little girl out of bed. Naughty, naughty he he he."
He stepped closer and that did it. In an instant, she screamed again, hoping someone would hear her, and then bolted towards the stairs as Jack tried to slash her.
"Come here Bitch!" he ordered as he missed her by an inch.
Alicia darted down the stairs and Jack followed her. She didn't know what was going on. Why would Jack kill Peter? The only thing on her mind was to find some one any one as her heart beat like a humming bird's flap.
'Maggie,' she thought, 'She could help me.'
As she ran down the darkened hall, she saw by the moonlight that Maggie's door was opened, and she hope Maggie was there. Alicia ran in and quickly closed and locked the door. It was just in the nick of time too as Jack hit the door so hard it made a loud thump. Inside the office, Alicia turned to Maggie's desk, but she wasn't sitting in her chair. She looked around the office and noticed the computer smashed on the floor.
"Ms. B-" but before she could say her name, Alicia saw her on the floor. Her stomach was gutted out like a fish as a pool of blood remained around her. She started to hyperventilate and then screamed at the top of her lungs. At that moment Jack/Freddy pounded at the door. "Thump, Thump" Alicia had to do something but what? Ms. Burroughs was dead and other was too. Another attempt at the door, "Thump!" This time it was louder.
"He's going to kill me, he's going to kill me," she repeated, then suddenly the door busted open and there stood Jack. Alicia looked around franticly, scanning for a way out.
'The windows', she thought as she tried one.
Once she opened it, Jack now Freddy Kruger made another attack on her, but Alicia climbed out and fell ten feet down on to the bushes.
"Come here!" he said as slashed, but missed her, "Shit!"
He looked down and out of the window and saw her struggling to get out of the bush. He grinned and stepped out on the ledge. Alicia looked up and saw him. She struggled as she found her footing and escaped just in time. Freddy/Jack came flying down like a cannon ball and landed in the bush as well. Alicia didn't care if he made it or not and flew like a scared rabbit into the alley across the street. Freddy/Jack used his claws to cut away the bush and ran after her.
The alley then came to another street as Alicia glanced back at her pursuer and ran faster into another alleyway. Alicia puffed, as she never ran so fast in her life. She looked back for a second and bumped in to somebody after she came back out. She did know who it was at the time, but looked and was astonished to see it was Julio, her boss. His tall Hispanic complexion made it clear that he was a pimp. Even down to ho his thin mustache and slick greasy hair.
"Hey chika," He said, "I've been looking around for you. Where you been? Where's my money Bitch?"
She didn't know what to do or say, but she got to get away. But then she had a thought. Perhaps Julio can save her.
"We gotta get out of here," She spat, "Some wacko is after me."
"Calm down chika, who's after you?" he wondered as Alicia pointed towards the alley. Julio looked, nodded and said to his friend in Spanish. "Go check it out."
His friend nodded, took out his gun and entered the alley. All was quiet for a moment until they heard a horrifying scream and gunshots. Then all was dead. They paused to find out what happened. Did Julio's friend kill Jack? They both heard laughing, the same laughing that Alicia heard back at the shelter and she knew that his friend was dead like the others.
"Julio we got to get out of here!" She barked, already inside his red classic Cadillac convertible.
But Julio ignored her plea and took out his favorite switchblade knife. He took a few steps in the alley and saw his friend dead on the concrete. He then looked up and saw Jack fingering with the claws.
"You son of a bitch," Julio said with his knife ready to play, "Now its time to dance with the devil man."
"Boy, I am the devil," he replied.
They both eyed each other wondering who would make the first move. Then Freddy/Jack tried to slash him, but Julio was too quick and ducked. Julio then used his blade to cut Freddy/Jack's leg. He growled in pain and twisted his hand and slashed Julio's hand in a backhand motion. Julio screamed a bit as he dropped hi knife on the ground. It fell down near a dumpster and before Freddy/Jack could make another swipe, Julio dove to retrieve his weapon. Once he got up and stabbed his opponent, Freddy/Jack his other arm, dropping the blade again. Julio was in pain. He had been in a knife fight before and gut cut, but this time he didn't like how this was going to turn out. He stood up an looked at man with the deadly claws. He got a better look at him and saw that his eyes were closed.
'Beaten by a blind guy?' Julio wondered, 'No fuckin' way.'
Freddy/Jack slashed Julio across his body, not once but three times. All along Alicia saw this and was horrified.
Freddy/Jack grabbed his victim by his bloody shirt and said to him, "It's not nice to fuck with the devil."
He chuckled, stabbed him the chest the with his tremendous strength, and threw him against the Cadillac. Alicia screamed like a banshee as her assailant smiled. He missed collecting screams and fears for his power. He then walked fast as Alicia turned the keys that were already in the ignition. The first time it didn't turn over and she was getting nervous, as Freddy/Jack was half way to the car. Then just as soon as the engine was ignited, Freddy/Jack smashed through the back window. Alicia stomped on the gas pedal and the car took off like a bullet.
