CHAPTER 1

Seth closed his journal and placed it under a loose floorboard that the contractors forgot to nail down, in his closet. Having to move here had been his fault. Back in LA he had gotten into trouble with some other teens and his parents had to move him here for his own safety. He thought it was ironic where they thought he would be safe in a town where being a teenager was a health hazard. His parents had to have known. They both were from Springwood.

Seth was short for his age and chubby with short brown hair and blue eyes that was hidden behind glasses. His room was nothing more than a bed, desk, dresser, and boxes at the moment. After moving here he started school right away, so he didn't have a chance to unpack anything. He planned on getting it done this weekend.

Seth went back to his bed and got under the blankets thinking about everything he had learned about Krueger since he first saw him only a few nights before. His mother woke him up before he was killed and he thought it was just a nightmare until he heard about the house that was once here and the man who lived there. He didn't think much of it until he pressed the kid he heard it from for more information and he told him about the rumors of Freddy Krueger coming back in teenagers and children's dreams to kill them. After along debate he decided that tonight he would use his dream power to search for any sign of what had happened in the past.

Seth stood before the old Krueger house, his power telling him something was in there, but he couldn't tell if it was Krueger or something else. He waited for a few moments before deciding he'd take his chances and entered the house, standing right in front of the staircase. Being in the house he could know tell whoever he had sensed was not Krueger. "I know you're here, so come out!"

A little boy stepped out of the living room. "I'm sorry. My presence has brought you here."

"Can you tell me about everything that happened?"

"You have to go." The little boy looked frightened. "Stop your search or you and your friends will be killed."

Seth took a step towards the kid. "If he's back than people need to be warned."

"Never say anyone's name in this place." The little boy started backing away. "He'll hear and they'll be his. Now please go before it's too late." The little boy used his own power to push Seth back into the real world.

Seth woke up to the sound of a ringing phone and wandered if it really was the little boy who woke him up or his phone. After a moment of making himself awake enough to answer he picked it up. "Hello?"

"I was in your dream." Said a female voice.

"How'd you get this number?" Freak. He thought.

"I was the little boy."

"How.What do you want?"

"In dreams I can become anything I want. I'm a dream mystic. We are the last of the dream warriors. Do not bring anyone else into this." She hung up.

Seth put the phone down and rolled over to go back to sleep, but sat back up when he saw a light on next door. After a moment the light went off and wondered if it was his neighbor Elizabeth who called him?
