Chapter Four:
Katie drifted off into sleep..Being held in Freddy's arms made her feel safe..She knew he would help her through this mess..But, when it came to one of her dreams..Maybe he never would.

Katie stood staring blankly in a white hallway, people roamed around the hall entering various rooms. She was confused..Was this another dream? What was happening? Then all of a sudden..She heard screaming. It sounded like a mix between a cry and scream..Katie ran into the room where the screaming was coming from and saw a teenaged girl with blonde hair surrounded by men dressed in aqua colored scrubs. She was trying to get away from these men, bandages wrapped around her wrist..Blood seeping through them. A man who looked in in late thirties, named Neil and a older woman, named Elizabeth ran into the room. A gurney that the staff was trying to get the young girl on crashed into the nearest wall.
"Suicide attempt. They just brought her in from County General" A nurse said, walking over to the man
"What's her name?" Neil asked
"Kristen Parker. She was fine until we tried to sedate her" The nurse said

The men continued to try and calm Kristen down, but couldn't. She was struggling, bite and scratching every last staff member. One of the men tried to grab her wrist only to get yelled at.
"Watch it! She tore her stitches out!" A staff member yelled
"Kristen! We want to help you" Neil said, above the screaming

Max, a tall African American man ran into the room shoving everyone out of his way to Kristen. He spins her body around, and pins her arms firmly from behind her back. She tries to struggle, but Max is too strong.
"Calm down, baby sister..That's enough nonsense for now" Max said, compassionately
"Kristen, I'm Doctor Goldman. I'm not going to hurt you. I'm just going to give you something to help you sleep" Neil said, taking a needle filled with a sedative and walking slowly towards Kristen

Kristen become afraid at what he had just said..Sleep? No! He can't. She thought. Kicking Neil in the stomach, she somehow gets away from Max. Crashing into a rolling cart, medical instruments fall the the floor. Not knowing what to do next, Kristen grabs a scalpel off the floor and slashed Max in the arm, drawing blood.
"Back off, Max!" Neil yelled
"Please stop, Kristen" Katie said to herself, shocked by the whole scene

Kristen huddles up in the nearest wall corner, scalpel in hand. Ready to attack anyone who comes near her. Neil walks a little closer to the blonde, his hand in front of his face.
"Kristen, put the scalpel down! Nobody's going to hurt you!" Neil said

Dropping the scalpel onto floor, Kristen huddles herself in the corner. Sitting down and pulling her body into a ball, rocking back-and-forth. Tears filling her eyes and starting to sing a song.
"Five, six, grab your crucifix...seven, eight, better stay up late...nine, ten, never...never..." Kristen sings, crying hysterically. Not being able to find the last words in her confused mind.
"Never sleep again" A voice from the other end of the room says

Katie's head shot over to see Nancy. Everyone but Katie, Kristen and Nancy become frozen. Kristen stands up, running over and hugging Nancy. She then hugs Katie.
"I hate reliving the scene" Kristen said
"I hate reliving anything that has to do with Krueger" Nancy said, looking down at her feet
"Krueger? Not him again" Katie said, sitting down and pulling her feet up to her chest "Don't mention him"
"She knows?" Kristen asked Nancy
"I told her earlier today..She fell asleep at her friends funeral" Nancy said
"He didn't" Kristen said, her eyes filled with disbelief
"He did..Kristen..He's back" Nancy said
"Oh God" Kristen said, her hand now on her forehead "Does she know everything?"
"All that I know about him" Nancy said, nodding
"He's been visiting my boyfriend, Freddy in his dreams" Katie said, standing up
"Freddy? Your boyfriend's name is Freddy too? How ironic" Nancy said
"Yeah..Ironic in a creepy and twisted way" Kristen said
"He's been all distraught and stuff..We looked up Krueger at his house today and found all this weird crap" Katie said
"The blank obituaries? I know about that..I saw you two" Nancy said "You're so cute together"
"You were watching us?" Katie asked, tilting her head to the side
"I've been watching you for the last couple of days..Making sure you're okay" Nancy said
"You know..I think we should bring one more person into here..She's sleeping right now anyway's" Kristen said
"Do you mean?" Nancy asked
"Yeah..Alice" Kristen said "Let me bring her in..I can still do that, you know"

Everything went quiet. Kristen closed her eyes and saw Alice sleeping in her mind...The next second another blonde was standing in front of them. Alice smiled when she saw Kristen, running over and hugging her tightly.
"I can't believe I'm seeing you" Alice said "You're dead"
"Well, so is Nancy..But, we're here aren't we?" Kristen asked, Alice nodded
"Very..Now..Who's she?" Alice asked, nodding towards Katie
"That's Katie..My cousin" Nancy said
"Hi" Katie said
"She's a pretty one...Why is she here with you two?" Alice asked
"Well..Alice..Krueger is back again" Kristen said

Alice's eyes went wide and she dropped to the floor. Nancy, Katie and Kristen dropped next to her and waited for the blonde to speak a word.
"No..He can't be...I killed him" Alice said
"No..He's been killed two more times since then..He's somehow back again" Nancy said, putting her hand on Alice's shoulder
"Oh my God..I should of know he would come back again someday..What about Jacob? He'll go after him..I know it" Alice said, her lips trembling
"No..He's after Katie and her friends" Kristen said
"Freddy says that Krueger is really scary" Katie said
"I bet...He was...And..Who's Freddy?" Alice asked "Not that Freddy?"
"No..It's Katie's boyfriend..He's been visiting him in his sleep..He also killed a a girl named Michelle" Nancy said
"She was a groupie in out band "School of Rock"...I miss her so much already" Katie said, tears filling her eyes
"We know how you feel" Kristen said, hugging Katie
"Groupie?" Alice asked, curiously
"Don't ask" Katie said "Now..What do we all have to do? To stop the bastard?"
"We don't do anything..You're friends and you do" Nancy said
"What?! We can't! We don't know how to!" Katie exclaimed "Freddy and I are the only ones who know about it now anyway's"
"You'll know when the time comes" Kristen said
"And when is that time?" Katie asked
"Sooner than you think" Alice said "It only took him less than a week to clear out all of my friends"
"Are you saying that more of my friends might die?" Katie asked
"There's a great chance of that...One is..Shit..Freddy's active right now..I can feel it" Alice said, her eyes going wide
"No..Wake me up then damn it!" Katie screamed
"Calm down sweetie" Kristen said, smiling at Katie
"How do you think I am going to calm down? You just basically told me that one of my friends is going to get butchered by the fucking definition of evil..By the Goddamn night stalker" Katie said, standing up
"I know how you feel, Katie..We all do" Nancy said "Each of us survived Krueger and then died because of him"
"I'm still alive though" Alice said
"Then help me, Alice..I need help from someone who knows about his weaknesses..How I can get rid of him once and for all" Katie said
"That might be kind of hard..I have no idea where you live" Alice said
"Staten Island..I go to Horace Green High School..Meet me there in two days" Katie said, Alice nodded
"My son and I will...He knows about this..He had faint memories even though it happened to him before he was born" Alice said, shaking his head
"I'm sorry" Katie said
"Don't be, I...Oh my God!" Alice screamed, a terrified expression on her face
"What? What's wrong?" Nancy asked
"He got her...She's dead" Alice said "I'm so sorry, Katie"
"Who! Who did that bastard kill?" Katie asked, shaking uncontrollably
"I don't know..The image just popped into my head for some reason..This has never happened before Kristen" Alice said "It's really starting to freak me out"
"You can handle it..You've had my dream powers for years now" Kristen said
"No, I can't..It's too much..I need to pass them on" Alice said
"To who?" Nancy asked
"Katie" Alice said
"Me? No..I need to get out of here now" Katie said, tears streaming uncontrollably down her cheeks
"It'll help you kill him..Just.." Alice said, stopping and putting her hand on Katie "Stay still and imagine"

Katie listened. Closing her eyes, she knew this was all real..Nothing seemed to be happening, that was until a weird sensation went up and down her right arm and then a shock went through her body. Katie's eyes shot open.
"I don't feel any different" Katie said, shaking her head
"You will when you have to defeat Krueger" Alice said "You have to go now"
"Okay, but..What did the girl look like?" Katie asked, her eyes pleading for an answer
"Well..She had glasses and was African America..That's all I saw" Alice said, Katie started to cry harder
"Alicia..Poor Alicia...I have to wake up" Katie said "Now"
"Okay" Alice said "I'll see you in two day"

Alice smiled at her and slapped her arm hard. Katie felt as if she was falling into space..Her lungs were about to burst. Her eyes began to roll back when she woke up. Gasping for breath, Katie fell off Freddy's bed and onto his bedroom floor. She looked at the clock to see it was 1:35 in the morning...Katie frantically got up and started shaking Freddy. He woke up, his eyes wide and face pale.
"What's wrong?" Katie asked
"Krueger...He killed Alicia, I saw it all..He made me watch it..I tried to help her but he was too strong..We need to get to her house now" Freddy said, jumping onto his feet
"This is real, pyro-boy..Very real..I had another dream about Nancy..And two other people: Kristen and Alice..Alice is alive, but the other two aren't..She's coming here the day after tomorrow and she knew that Alicia was dying" Katie said, crying
"Another dead friend..I don't want anyone else to die" Freddy said
"I know..But.. We need to get over to her house" Katie said
"Let's go" Freddy said, quietly
