Freddy Kruger:
Mirror Images.

A cry of "MOM!" made Alice turn around in her sleep. Before she had anywhere else to look, she saw Freddy holding up Jacob in a mirror next to her shoulder.

"Jacob," she shouted, "hold on, I'm coming."

Concentrating with all her might, she opened her eyes and saw Freddy poised for the kill.

"Get away from him you son of a bitch!" shot from her mouth before she could stop it and she launched herself feet first at Kruger.

Freddy didn't even have time to look as Alice's foot collided with the side of his head. As Freddy flew away, Alice knelt by her son.

"Are you ok? Did he hurt you?"

Jacob shook his head.

"Well now, this is a surprise."

Alice and Jacob jumped up.

"I come for the brat and I get the bitch."

"You're not getting anything except a one way ticket to hell!" Alice shouted, "Jacob, wake your self up, I'll handle this."

Noting the serious tone in his mother's voice, Jacob did as he was told and as soon as he disappeared, Alice turned to face her nemesis.

"Hi Alice, long time no see."

"A shame it couldn't have lasted longer."

"Oh don't worry, it won't last much longer. Not for you anyway."

Seething with rage, Alice lunged at Freddy in much the same way Kristen had and like before, Freddy grabbed Alice and lifted her over his shoulder. However, Alice remembered what had happened then and she flipped over him, grabbed his arm and threw him through the wall.

"Way to go Alice," said a familiar voice, Alice turned around and saw Dan, the father of her son.

Filled with joy, she ran at him.

"Don't do it!" shouted a voice.

Both Alice and Dan turned to the source of the voice. It was Nancy Thompson.

"What do you mean don't do it?" asked Dan and Alice.

"He used this trick before to kill me, he took the form of my dad who had died moments earlier. Don't make my mistake."

Alice and Dan looked at each other. Even though this was just a dream, it had been 13 years since she had seen him and now that he was here, she was going to enjoy this. That is, if Freddy would let her.

"That's the problem with this job, I can kill as many as I want but their souls can come back and fuck things up," before Alice could do anything, Freddy stabbed her in the back and lifted her up, blood flowing into his face.

"Like I said, I come for the brat and I get the BITCH!" Kruger shouted as he twisted his fingers and cut her spine in half.

"NO!!!" shouted Dan as he launched himself at Kruger. Laughing his maniacal laugh, he disappeared and let Alice's bloody body fall to the ground.

"I was afraid this would happen, now there's nothing that will keep him down when he gets his power back."

"Who are you?" Dan asked

"I'm Nancy Thompson, my friends and I were his first victims after this dream business started. I got away, but he caught up with me when I was working at a mental institution with kids who were his new victims six years later. Who are you?"

"I'm Dan, I was one of his victims too. And like you, I got away the first time but he caught up with me a year later. I'm also the father of her kid."

Nancy smiled, "I'd say congrats but now that you're dead, I guess you've never seen him."

Dan shook is head but at that moment, a boy with curly dark hair and a shirt that was a little too small for him walked into the room.

"Nancy, we've got a problem, some kid is thinking about Kruger."

"Why is that a problem Glen?"

"Because the kids falling asleep."

As Zach was getting in bed, he was thinking about what he had seen on the news. He had known who the Springwood Slasher was, he was Freddy Kruger, and he had nearly be killed by him twice. Once when he was alive and once after the dreams started. When he was alive, Zach had fought to get away from him and succeeded when he used the dirtiest move he knew, he kicked Kruger in the balls. When the dreams started, Zach got away by fighting him off once again, but not before delivering his own one-liner. Even though Zach didn't know it, he was exactly like Freddy Kruger. The only difference was that he was on a different side. Sighing, he looked to his left and saw the bottle of hypnocil; the wonder drug of Elm St. was what the parents called it. It was a drug that prevented you from dreaming. Zach thought about taking some, but he was too tired and it was easier to fight Kruger in the dream. 'Which is right where I'm headed' he thought as he drifted off to sleep.

As Zach walked forward, he found that he was walking right for the all too familiar house on Elm St.

"Screw this," said Zach and he turned around.

"Funny," he said, "it's sunny out. These dreams never have even halfway decent weather."

"One, two Freddy's coming for you."

Zach whipped around and saw six kids all dressed in white clothing, playing with a jump rope and singing that god-awful song. Suddenly, the kids vanished and everything went dark and the weather became incredibly stormy.

"That's it Kruger, I'm coming in there and I'll kick your ass."

Breaking in to a run, Zach ducked in side the house just as the door slammed shut behind him. He stood up, shaking.

"All right you ugly, burn-scarred freak. I'm here so why don't you show yourself."

The lights flicked on but no sound came.

"What's wrong? Is Kruger a coward?"

The glove came shooting out of nowhere straight at Zach's head. Zach ducked and swung his hand around to grab it.

"What are you going to do now Kruger? Huh, I've got your glove!"

"Fine, you win," said Freddy as he stepped from the shadows, "but I would like my glove back."

"Haven't you ever heard of 'finders keepers'?" Zach said mockingly, and then as if to increase the insult, he slipped Freddy's glove on his right hand.

"I think I could get used to this," he said, waving the glove around and doing some of the finger stuff Freddy did, "You don't mind if I keep it do you?" he asked, perfectly innocently and looking at Freddy as if to clarify the fact he was asking a genuine question.

"As a matter of fact, I would," Freddy said, moving his hand back. Zach looked at him for a second and when he saw that glint in Freddy's eyes he moved his arm up to his head right before his gloved hand thrust at his OWN head. Ripping it off, he threw the glove at Freddy who put it back on.

"Now, I've got some unfinished business to attend to," he said, taking several steps toward Zach who took several back in answer. He wouldn't have admitted it but Zach was freaked out now. Freddy without his glove was one thing, but Freddy with his glove is another thing entirely. Deciding to screw this dream, he concentrated on feeling his actual body, to open his real eyes, to wake up. To his horror, he found he could not.

"What's wrong, can't wake up can you."

Zach was rooted to the spot, he had never been this scared, the last time he dreamed like this, he just woke himself up but now, he couldn't. out of pure terror, he turned around to face Freddy.

"Like I said, unfinished business." Kruger said as he thrust his glove at Zach's stomach.
