Chapter Six:
Katie mutely sat in the back-seat of a Dr. Johnson, her new psychiatric's car. Her mind traveled off into her own little secret serenity, anything to hide from Krueger...She raised her hand up slowly to her dried lips, rubbing her index finger around, her sharp fingernail digging into them. Tears fell from her eyes for the millionth time..Life was beginning to become so hard for her..And she was starting to wonder if she actually was crazy.

Maybe Krueger was a delusion..Maybe it was just a sign that she had lost her mind. Because it was kind of impractical to think a man was killing her friends in their dreams..Maybe Michelle had committed suicide and maybe Alicia had been murdered by a burglar had broke in to her house through her bedroom window and ripped her apart..But, if that was true..Why did everything seem so real? And why was Freddy seeing the same things?

Katie pounded her fists onto the seat in agony...It had to be real. Katie realized that she couldn't be crazy. Krueger was a real, living threat. Katie wanted to close her eyes and sleep..But, all she saw now was blood. Blood filled her mind the second her eyelids shut tightly over her chocolate-brown pools of sadness.
"You are really going to like it here, Katie..Willow Valley is a nice place. The things you hear are not true..We do have our sudden outburst and fits, but that's about it" Dr. Johnson said
"Thanks for telling me" Katie said, softy. Sarcasm in her voice
"I'm always the bearer of good news" Dr. Johnson said, smiling
"That's not really good news" Katie said
"I know, but..You'll make some friends there" Dr. Johnson said
"Like me?" Katie asked
"What do you exactly mean by that?" Dr. Johnson asked
"Like me..Do they have..Dreams?" Katie asked
"Yes..There's a couple of them..Arianna, Emma, Damien, Shane and Kaylee" Dr. Johnson
"Is Krueger doing the same thing to them?" Katie asked
"Well..Arianna, Emma and Damien are experiencing some kind of group psychosis..How you explained him to me earlier is almost exactly how they did" Dr. Johnson "It's just a figment of all of your imagination..It comes on when a tragic event occurs..Emma's mother died in a car accident, Arianna's younger brother was stillborn and Damien's mother was very abuse..It's just something that happens"
"No, it isn't! Krueger is real..Not some Goddamn illusion!" Katie yelled
"Calm down, Katie. You have to..Well, It's not healthy to think like this" Dr. Johnson said
"I guess you're right..It isn't" Katie said, angrily "I actually don't want to make new friends, I want to see my old ones..Summer, Zack, Marta, Tomika, Lawrence, Eleni, Gordon, Marco, Frankie, Leonard..Freddy..I want to see Alicia and Michelle too, but that can't happen..You know why? Because they're dead..Just like all the other people he got"

Dr. Johnson was not able to think of a word to say to Katie. So she didn't say anything..The rest of the ride remained in utter silence. Katie looked out the window on the side of her, admiring the scenery. Dying trees lined up perfectly around the round, leaves of the colors: yellow, red and brown scattered carelessly over the hay-like grass. Seeing a willow ahead of her, Katie knew that they were there..Her eyes locked on the tree, It was beautiful..Mysteriously beautiful. The branches hung to the ground, as if sadness had taken over this willow..Katie's eyes grew wide suddenly. If she looked closely at the willow, it reminded her of a claw..Gulping, she faced forward again..Not wanting to look outside the car, just as Dr. Johnson parked.
"We're here" Dr. Johnson said, happily
"Great" Katie said

Stepping out of the car, Katie though that she could make a run for it..Get away from this place even before entering it..But, she didn't. She knew she didn't have the strength to get away. Willow Valley looked like a normal hospital..Gloomy and dark. Katie shuttered softly as Dr. Johnson practically drug her into Willow Valley.
"I'm not going to show you around right now..I want you to meet the others" Dr. Johnson said
"I don''t care what we do..I don't care what happens anymore" Katie said, softly
"Well...Everything will change when you get use to staying here" Dr. Johnson said, Katie just shrugged

Katie followed Dr. Johnson through a long winding hall, each step made Katie's heart break more and more..She was actually in a psychiatric hospital..She couldn't believe it..Walking into a room, Katie saw three beds..One empty..She knew that this was her new room. Sitting on around a small card table were two girls, looking curiously at Katie. Emma, a freckled-faced girl with long red hair, bit her lip. While Arianna, a short girl with shoulder length dirty blonde hair stood up and walked over to Katie.
"Hi..I'm Arianna" Arianna said
"Hi..Katie" Katie said, quietly
"Kathryn..That is Emma" Dr. Johnson said, pointing at Emma
"Hey" Emma said, smiling
"Well..I'll leave you three alone..So, you can get to know each other" Dr. Johnson said, leaving the room
"So..You're the new Krueger case, huh?" Arianna asked, sitting on one of the beds
"You know about him too?" Katie asked
"Why wouldn't she? Her grandfather's love child was killed by him" Emma said, sitting next to Arianna
"W-what? Are you serious?" Katie asked, dropping onto the bed
"Why would I be lying about something like this? Her name was Kristen Parker..I've only seen pictures of her though" Arianna said
"Whoa..Rewind that..Kristen Parker? Like the Kristen Parker who beat him once, Kristen Parker?" Katie asked, confused
"That would be her" Arianna said
"This is really weird..My cousin is Nancy Thompson" Katie asked
"Nancy Thompson? Whoa..This is some weird shit" Arianna said
"We need to..." Katie said, but was cut off by Dr. Thompson
"Katie..Telephone..Normally I wouldn't allow this on your first day, but the boy sounds upset" Dr. Johnson said "The phone is in the next room"
"Freddy..Damn it!" Katie yelled, running into the next room and picking up the phone "Hello?"
"Katie..He got Lawrence" Freddy said. choking on his words
"No!" Katie yelled
"I just found out" Freddy said
"I don't get it...Why does he always kill them when I'm not around?" Katie asked, confused with everything at the moment
"Well..Because you're not around" Freddy said, quietly
"Bastard! Don't talk to me like that now..You know how upset this shit is getting me" Katie said, starting to cry
"I'm sorry..It's just..I'm stupid" Freddy said "Literally"
"No..You're not stupid, just..How bad was it?" Katie asked "I need to know what he did to Lawrence"
"I can't..It's too gross" Freddy said, paling on the other end of the phone
"I can handle it..I can handle anything, Jones..You know that" Katie said
"His stomach was cut open like Alicia's, but..His internal organs were gone..I think Krueger made him eat it all" Freddy said
"Oh my.." Katie said, but stopping..She thought she could handle it, but she was wrong. She threw up at what she had heard
"Are you okay, Katie?" Freddy asked, at the gurgling sound
"Yeah..I threw up" Katie said, wiping her mouth
"I knew you wouldn't be able to handle it" Freddy said "I'm so sorry"
"I am too" Katie said, wiping her cheeks
"Katie? Are you okay?" Dr. Johnson asked, walking into the room
"No..My friend was murdered" Katie said
"Oh my. You need to get off the phone now" Dr. Johnson said, grabbing Katie's arm
"No! Freddy! Alice is coming tomorrow! Tell everyone!" Katie yelled, before dropping the receiver
"Katie? I'll get you out of there" Freddy said, quietly

Katie struggled as Dr. Johnson drug her into the next room. She cried hysterically for Lawrence. This was becoming too much to handle and she knew Dr. Johnson could tell.
"Katie! Calm down or I will have to sedate you..And you would not want that happening on your first day here" Dr. Johnson said, forcing Katie to sit on the bed
"Leave me the hell alone you stupid bitch..I hate you already..You made me get off the phone with Freddy..That is evil, as evil as Krueger!" Katie yelled
"Do not speak to me like that" Dr. Johnson said, slapping Katie hard across the face "Katie..I'm sorry"
"Yeah..You will be when I tell my parents about what you just did..Now leave me the hell alone or I will" Katie said, glaring at Dr. Johnson

She had had enough. Dr. Thompson ripped a syringe out of her pocket, filled with a medication that put you to sleep. She grabbed Katie's arm and stuck her with it..Katie looked up at her new doctor furiously, tears filling her eyes.
"You needed that" Dr. Johnson said, walking out of the room
"Damn it! No..I can't fall asleep! Arianna..Emma..Don't let me fall asleep" Katie said, becoming very drowsy

But, It was too late...Katie's eyes hut and she fell backwards onto the bed..Her mind getting ready for what might be a visit from Krueger.
