Chapter Ten

Discovered Powers

Freddy strolled along the streets of Springwood Ohio spotting his face amongst the poles. Hundreds of harried and rushed people ran quickly along side him wanting to go wherever they were required, not even stopping to glance at the posters.

He was pretty angry that Katherine had switched the date of their attempt to reverse this "spell" and if he had been upset before now he was worse.

At school, well lets just say anyone who looked his way- ended up shivering from the cold, icy look he gave them.

He turned the corner where lockers lined the wall, students chattering about the weekend, parties and other pointless conversation topics. Freddy smacked right into a couple locked in a tight embrace. Their lips tasting each others frantically.

"Watch it." The boy snarled turning his angry eyes on Freddy. His eyes widened to twice their size. His arms slipped away from the busty blond senior who looked like she stepped right out of Playboy magazine.

"L-Lola." He stammered in horror. Well? What do you know? Kurt cheating on his devoted girlfriend. Not a surprise- he was so the cliché.

Now the rage that Freddy encountered wasn't just slight- it was full fledged. No one cheated on him and frankly Kurt didn't deserve anybody but the whore he was making out with now.

"Aw did I interrupt Kurt and his prostitute? I'm sorry." He said sarcastically, and smiled viciously. Quite scary really...

"Lola... No its not what you think!" Kurt exclaimed and the blond vixen scowled at each of them. That line was so old.

"Because I love you so much Lola." His eyes actually watered. He really did love Lola, but he had more muscles then he did brains so assumed it was okay to have a girl on the side.

"I don't mind Kurt." Freddy waved his hand in a go on, go ahead manner, turned on his heel and walked down the hall whistling cheerily. Freddy had big plans for Kurt. Big.

Meanwhile, as Freddy dealt with Kurt, Lola was shuffling a deck of cards when she had a rude awakening...Well? If she was in Freddy's body for the time being, why not take advantage of it?

She was going to try out her new found powers. She shoved the cards back in the tiny box which was ripping at the edges and tossed it forlornly on the table she had propped up in the boiler room. It was creepy, but there was really nothing to be afraid of and she was getting quite use to the hissing steam.

She stood up, kicked the table back further and stood there in the middle of the room with her eyes squeezed shut tightly. Focusing, thinking. How did he do it? What was the secret?

She was going to try very hard. But maybe she couldn't do it- I mean she was in Freddy's body but her soul was in it and so that could mean Freddy still had his powers relentless of his body in the dream world. Confusing but it struck a good point.

First she was going to just try and see what would occur. He could travel from place to place, rearrange his atmosphere. She would try traveling.

Think Lola. Think. Think. You are in...Toronto Canada... She flicked open her eyes and realized she was on the streets of Toronto where so many different multicultural faces streamed by. Cars lined the busy street and store after store after franchise, TV studios, one by one along the street. It worked! She did have his powers in his body. This was too delicious!

You are on...The beach...There she was out of place in red and green striped getup and fedora along the sandy beach and shore of the crystal turquoise Pacific ocean.

Now that she had mastered this power it was time to move on. She couldn't wait to show off to Krueger. Watch his mouth fall open in shock and disbelief as she changed his setting- with her mind.

What else could he do? Telekinetic type stuff right?

She concentrated hard on the table which had been pushed aside. Squinting the icy blue eyes that were now hers to use she jerked her head to the left and to her satisfaction the table jerked to the left too.

"Ahahahhahahaha!" She laughed like Freddy; that evil cackle he was famous for- just for the fun of it. "I love this!" She whispered. She jerked her head the other way and the table jerked the opposite way. She flicked a claw to the table and it crashed against a furnace. Victory was hers!

"Oh here little piggie!" A loud voice sang, and she knew of only one person who called kids piggies.

"Guess what?" She bellowed racing over to greet him, where he was leaning against a cold steel railing.

She jumped at him, laughing. The weight pushed Freddy to the ground where he struggled to get her off, violently flailing his limbs.

"Watch what I can do!" She leapt off him, to demonstrate for the bewildered man. She pointed to him and flicked her finger towards the table. He went soaring and landed in a heap on the wooden table.

"Hey!" He exclaimed angrily, she ignored him and continued levitating and then flinging objects across the room in a whirlwind. He watched in shock just as she predicted he would.

"You've adapted my powers?" He asked in horror.

"Yep!" She beamed proudly, and proud she was. "And its major fun- I get sick pleasure from being in your body you know Freddy."

Oh come on she was starting to like being in his body? What if she never traded it in for her bleeding female body? He was overwhelmed with sudden panic.

"Would you stop that?" He shouted and she swiveled on her feet to face him once again.

"Sorry." she mumbled, embarrassed for getting carried away.

"News flash bitch." He declared, glad to be back in power. "I caught your asshole of a boyfriend necking with Miss. Penthouse 2003." He didn't really pity the girl now that she was lobbing onto his powers.

Her broad smile faded.

"What?" She said more to herself then Freddy. There was anuncertain pause. "I thought I loved him." She was in shock. "What did you do?" She asked wide eyed. She was in mortal pain right? She was sure she was devastated but...

"I left." He didn't add that he had some sinister plans for Kurt.

"Oh....I." She faltered for words. He stood there playing with his fingers. When she cried like this he didn't know really what to say.

"Stop it." He mumbled as he always did when she blubbered.

"Freddy... I want you to take those love letters he wrote me from under my mattress." So that's where she stashed them- he had been looking for them for a good bedtime story. "And bring them to me." She said loudly and clearly.

After he had left, she practiced traveling because it was more difficult then moving things on command.

The angst of this entire situation hurt her like a stake driving through a vampire's black heart. But, was their really any angst to begin with? She still felt hurt and humiliated- dating a guy who necked with women a lot prettier their her was a low way to go. But she had been almost positive she truly had loved Kurt. But could she honestly have loved Kurt for the one week she spent with him?

"I can't believe this." She whispered. "I should be weeping in agony."

Maybe being Freddy for a lifetime would be okay after all. She'd never have to face Kurt, a slutty blond piece of shit, and she'd never die, never grow old. She would never have to go on knowing she murdered a child...

But she knew why she wasn't aching, she knew.

Maybe, just maybe Lola Cep had the teeniest of crushes on Krueger.

Bratty love sick teenagers. Kurt wasn't worth Lola's tears or the pain. He wasn't worth shit. But he wasn't going to take Kurt's cocky face down yet.

He pulled up the bed mattress and retrieved the stack of letters and set them atop the dresser so he wouldn't forget to bring them in the dream world when he went back to sleep.

"Lola-dinner!" Violet called- she was paranoid every second after her encounter with the "robber" or rather, her daughter embodied in a child murderer's bod.

He stared disdainfully at the half burned meat loaf. Even his burned face looked better then this.
