When Riina's Mom came home from work that night, it was 11:00. Her name was Nicole and she was very pretty. She was 35 and her dark brown hair was starightened and up in a pony tail. She was also a medical scientist. "Riina, why do you invite these girls over when I'm not here?" while taking off her white coat that she wears in the laboratory, "It only causes trouble." "It was just a broken leg. Even Elizabeth said she will be fine!" Riina protested. "Just fine?" Nicole turned to look at her, "Anna's mother called my cell phone while I was working today. She told me that she was going to have to stay in the hospital for on damn week." Riina didn't know what to say. She was tired and out of words. "Just...go to bed, Riina." said Nicole in a calmer and softer voice. Riina walked to her room, changed, and went to bed.
The next day, Riina woke up earlier than usual and went to the kitchen. Her mother had her black rimmed glasses on. She was sitting at the table, reading a Cosmo Girl magazine, and stirring her tea. Her mother looked up at her and just said, "Oh." Riina could understand her mother was mad at her for inviting all her friends over when she wasn't there but, she thought that this kind of treatment wasn't acceptable after she just had the worst nightmares of her life, "Oh, thanks for asking, Mom I didn't sleep well." Nicole put the magazine down, took off her glasses and placed them on the table, and smiled, "That's too bad, Riina. I'm going to go work out." Her mother left the kitchen.
Riina fixed herslef a bowl of cereal, sat down, and started to eat. She thought about the nightmares she had. There was a guy. He looked like a monster and he had these razor sharp claws. During the whole nightmare, he kept messing with her and trying to cut her. They were the scariest nightmares she ever had. She hoped she would never have them again.
After she finished her cereal, she called up Kiara and asked her how she was. "Well...I'm not really myself. I had these...these nightmares. It's going to take me a long time to get over them." said Kiara. "...I had nightmares too. It's probably because of the trauma we expierienced last night. You know? Seeing Anna's bone sticking out of her leg. It was scary." Riina responded. "...Yeah. If you come over now, we could go visit Anna if you want..." Kiara said. "Hmmm...that does sound like a good idea." said Riina.
Riina walked a few houses down Elm St. until she got to Kiara's house. She went up the steps and rang her doorbell. Kiara opened it. She had a blanket wrapped around her and looked really sad, "Come in." Riina followed her inside. They both sat on the couch.
"So, I hope Anna is going to be okay." said Riina. She really didn't know what to say. Kiara just seemed so sad. She was afraid that she might say the wrong thing and she'll break down into tears. A whole minute of silence passed. "Freddy Kruegar." said Kiara in a shaky voice. "Wh- what?" stuttered Riina. Kiara was just looking down and had a really scared expression, "Have you ever heard of that name?" "Never" Riina became concerned, "It's okay. I really don't know who you are talking about but, no one is going to hurt you." Riina hugged Kiara. "He tryed huting me last night." she kept looking down. "Who? A boy from our school? I'll kick his ass!" said Riina. "No, remember how I had bad dreams last night? Well, there was a guy trying to kill me. I'm not even sure if he was a guy. He...he looked like a monster. He had claws and..." she started crying, "...he tryed cutting me. He said that he was going to kill all the kids on Elm St." Riina couldn't believe that Kiara had the same dream as her, "Seriously? I had the same dream. Now that you mention it, his name was Freddy...Freddy Kruegar. He look like...like he was burned or something. He was trying to kill me. He couldn't though. He said he needed more power."
Kiara shot up from the couch, "Shit! This is fucking crazy! No one will believe us if we warn people! What if every kid on this street had that dream?" "Wait, even if they did, Freddy said he didn't have enough power...shit! I sound crazy! What if this is just coincidental? Let's not go warning people just yet." said Riina. Kiara calmed down and sat back down on the couch, "You're right. But, even if this is a real thing, can we afford to take chances? What if Freddy gets his power by tonight?" "Well, I don't want to go to a mental hospital. Let's just wait a little. You know? We can ask other kids how they slept last night." said Riina. "You're right. Let's wait. I don't want to sound crazy either. I'm just so glad I could get that out of me. You know? Talking about it helped and knowing I wasn't the only one with the nightmare." Kiara said, "Do you still want to visit Anna?"
