Chapter Seven:
Freddy stared absently at the telephone in his hand. Someone had made Katie stop talking to him...He felt sick to his stomach..Something was tearing them apart..Those people at Willow Valley were as crazy as anyone else. They were crazy to take in Katie. She was they key to stopping this..And what he had got from her leaving, was one of his best friends being brutally murdered.
Angrily, Freddy threw the phone at his wall. He could not deal with Krueger on his own...He couldn't! Everything was way to hard..Walking over to his bookstand, he grabbed on of his drumsticks and threw it at the mirror in front of him. The mirror shattered, sending thick and icy looking shards of glass his way. Not even wanted to move, he didn't grimace when a fairly big shard hit him on the face, cleanly slicing his cheek open. Putting his hand to the bleeding cut, Freddy knew it wasn't bad.
"This is just like that Usher video..Except I broke the glass" Freddy said
He shrugged off one of his famous stupidity moment and went back to his bed. Lazily, he dropped down, making the mattress bounce. His body felt limp and tiered...He couldn't fall asleep..But, he knew that he was going to. Freddy's eye's slowly closed, almost gluing shut. Taking a deep breath, he got ready.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Alice pulled out of her home's driveway and sped down the road. He eyes focused on the pavement, she turned up the radio. Jacob, her fifteen year old son, rolled his icy blue eyes. Jacob ran a hand through his spiky light brown hair and inhaled deeply. His mother had made him come with her..He didn't want to. He wanted to spend time with his girlfriend, Lanny. But, Oh no..He jut had to help her on a special "assignment."
"Mom..Just drop me off at Lanny's house" Jacob said, tapping his fingernail's on the window
"No..I need you to be with me..I need to make sure you're safe" Alice said
"You're crazy" Jacob said, rolling his eyes again
"Shut up, Jacob..You know I'm not crazy" Alice said
"Whatever" Jacob said, shrugging his shoulders
Alice put her attention back on the road, not paying attention to anything else. She had a strange feeling that someone else had become a victim to Krueger and didn't want that to happen again.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Katie's eyes opened to the sight of Freddy's room and in front of her was the band..Everyone but Dewey, Alicia, Michelle and Lawrence. She ran over and happily hugged each of them.
"You're here..Did Alice talk to you?" Katie asked
"Who's Alice?" Marta asked, confused
"Freddy? They still don't know?" Katie asked, tapping her foot
"Um..Affirmative" Freddy said
"Fine...I guess you'll never get to kiss me again" Katie said, smirking
"Well...Yeah right" Freddy said, swooping Katie into his arms and kissing her
During the kiss, Katie felt terrible...They were suppose to mourning over their friends death, no being happy and making stupid jokes. Katie pulled away from Freddy and got ready to tell everyone.
"Do you want to know the truth?" Katie asked "If you can handle it"
"Well..Sure, If it's important" Zack said
"More than you know" Freddy said
"Here I go..." Katie said, starting the story
Katie told everything she knew in the best detail she could come up with. When they story was done, everyone except Freddy and Katie stared in awe..Some were too shocked to say anything and others didn't know what to say.
"So..He killed three of our best friends?" Tomika asked, tears welling up in her eyes
"Yeah and he could kill more if we don't stop him" Katie said, dully
"We're going to though..Right?" Eleni asked "I don't want to die"
"None of us do" Freddy said, shaking his head
"That's why we need to kick his ass back to where he belongs..Hell" Katie said
"I don't believe it" Summer said "It's not physically possible"
"Don't say that...It's exactly what he wants..Weak prey, someone who doesn't believe in him" Katie said "Whoever thinks he is real will survive"
"Then I guess I'm dying" Summer said, shrugging
"Shut the hell up, Tink...Believe her" Marco snapped "Whoever killed Michelle is going to pay"
"That's a good additude, Marco..He is not r-" Summer said, but being cut off
"Not real, eh?" Krueger's voice said "Well, I'll show you I'm real!"
The band turned around and locked their eyes at the sight of Krueger...Cries and gasps were heard from each person, but Freddy and Katie who were fear-struck like they always were when they saw him. Summer screamed, jumping backwards. The dream demon walked towards a certain person, Gordon. He grabbed came face-to-face with the talented roadie.
"Does the sight of blood make you squeamish? Krueger asked, grabbing Gordon's arm with his gloveless hand
"Um...Ah..No" Gordon said, sputtering the words out
"Good" Krueger said, cackling
Krueger didn't even let him say goodbye...Raising his clawed hand into the air, Krueger turned Gordon around so he faced his friends. And with one forceful movement he plunged the claws into Gordon's stomach. The sickening gurgle coming from Gordon's body made the band almost sick...Blood splattered everywhere, hitting each teen. Katie screamed, blood covering the front of her clothes and her face...Walking up to Krueger, she courageously stood as tall as she could.
"Leave..us..Alone" Katie said, glaring
"You little whore..You know something? You kind of look like Nancy..Some similarities..Yes..That blood on you reminds me of when I killed that bitch" Freddy said, scratching Katie's face with his claw
"Owh..Just..Leave me, Freddy and everyone else alone" Katie said, angrily
"Kathryn...And I do know you're name as you see..I have already butchered three of your little piggies friends..Four counting that worthless piece of shit..I can kill more..I have over 50 bodies one my list..In my soul lays over twenty..I am powerful" Freddy said
"Maybe so..But..To me..Your weak..And when I kill you for good, you'll know that" Katie said
"We'll see, Kathryn..We'll just have to see about that, my dear" Freddy said
Freddy smirked, pulling Katie to face level with him. He smirked again, slamming his face onto hers. Their lips met, Katie squirming. His lips were scaling, like a snake's skin...The kiss tasted like death..Maggots and garbage. Katie tried to get away, but couldn't..It only made Freddy push is tongue further down her throat..Freddy couldn't bare the sight of this, so he decided to make a over behind Katie, he grabbed her body and pulled her away. Running over to their friends, Katie slapped Freddy..Who disappeared.
"He woke up from that...Zack..Take you're pocket knife out now" Katie said
"Yeah" Zack said, getting it out of his pocket and throwing it to Katie
"One question..Why were you guys all asleep at the same time?" Katie asked, catching the pocket knife
"Band sleepover" Summer said, still spooked up from everything that had just happened
"At this time of day?" Katie asked, tilting her head
"It was orgy, okay?" Tomika said, freaking out
"Yeah..Right" Katie said "Each of you cut your arm with this, about an inch above your elbow"
Each teen did as they were told, them each disappearing with every cut...Katie was last, looking over at Krueger who was smirking at her...His eyes laughing. Flipping him off, Katie cut above her elbow...Waking up from the dream, she shot up from sleep...He sedation had warred off..Arianna and Emma were standing over her...Katie suddenly started gasping for breath, tears welling up in her eyes...She couldn't breathe.
"Katie?" Arianna asked, concern in her voice
"Oh my God...Dr. Johnson! Help!" Emma yelled, very loudly
Katie started shaking violently, her eyes rolling backwards. Arianna and Emma started crying as they watched Katie...Drool came out from the sides of her mouth, running down her chin and making a puddle on the pillow. Her lips smacked together at a constant motion, then stopping and starting to bite her lip...Dr. Johnson ran into the room, pushing Arianna and Emma out of her way and standing over Katie. After Katie lost control of her bladder, Dr. Johnson called for backup.
"Don't let her die" Emma said
"She will be okay" Dr. Johnson
"It doesn't looks like it to me..Tell us if she is going to die or you will" Arianna said
"Shut your mouth's" Dr. Johnson snapped
Katie's shaking died down when she lost full consciousness. A nurse and another doctor came into the room and started checking on Katie's blood pressure and pulse.
"She isn't breathing" The nurse said
"Revive her then, damn it!" Dr. Johnson yelled "I will not have anyone dying on their first day here!"
The other doctor started giving Katie CPR....When she started breathing again and regained consciousness, they left the room..Leaving only Dr. Johnson, Arianna and Emma with Katie...Ten minutes later, She slowly tried to sit up, only to fall backwards.
"What happened?" Katie asked, confused
"You had a seizure" Dr. Johnson said
"Cathy? This one was easy to figure out" The doctor said, coming back into the room "Has she ever had any other seizures?"
"Well..They said she had one in the emergency room at her local hospital" Dr. Johnson said, walking over to the other doctor
"Any weakness or confusion when after we left?" The doctor asked
"Yes" Dr. Johnson said, shaking her head
"Well..Then it must be Epilepsy..We still need to look at her case, but I'm pretty sure of it" The doctor said
"Thank you, Matthew" Dr. Johnson said, as Matthew left
"I can't be Epileptic" Katie said "I still need to stop Krueger"
"You still can, Katie..Epilepsy won't stop you" Emma said, rolling her eyes
"Get that nonsense out of your mind..It's probably the cause of all of this..Now..Go to sleep" Dr. Johnson said, leaving the room
"Whatever, bitch" Katie muttered, under her breath
Laying down, Katie thought about her dream and realized something...Gordon is dead..Tears quickly filled her eyes and fell off her cheeks like tiny diamonds...She couldn't sleep anymore because of this. Never was now her best friend..If she could even get it here.
