Chapter Eight:
Freddy frantically ran to school, he was late and needed to meet his friends there..Another reason why he was running so fast was this Alice person...She was suppose to meet Freddy in front of the school or something..He was starting to become paranoid because of the whole Freddy Krueger thingy. Whenever he woke up from a dream he would see Krueger...He would hear metal scrapping against something in the middle of the night, he was wanting to become an Insomniac, but couldn't even try...His dreams were the only place he could see Katie.

Looking around the courtyard of Horace Green, he watched little children skip to their Kindergarten classes, he saw Ms. Mullins walk into the school..He was sick of seeing the same exact thing everyday, he wanted to find something in this courtyard that amused him..Something that would make him feel slight happiness again. If that was even possible.

The leaves gently blew with the wind and everything became silent..Everyone except Freddy froze..What was happening? Was he asleep? Or was this another paranoid vision? Behind him he heard raspy breathing and a quietly weak call for help...Turning around he saw Katie..But, this wasn't how she usually looked..She was covered in blood..Her usually black hair took on a maroon tone..He eyes were cole black, full of sadness and pain.
"Katie?" Freddy asked, his bottom lip quivering

Freddy stared at Katie's face and waited for her to answer..But, when she opened her mouth, no sound came out..Only a maggot, which immediately hit the ground. Backing up, Freddy watched as more maggots came out of his girlfriends mouth.

Gulping, he locked eyes with her..Those eyes..They were so intriguing..But, they weren't like Katie's actual eyes..They were not chocolate-brown..They didn't hold happiness.
"What's wrong with you?" Freddy asked, quietly

Katie's blue lips formed into a small smirk..The body moved closer to Freddy, slowly stepping. Freddy let out a shocked cry as her hand touched his bare right arm..Her skin felt cold and clammy, a sickly white color..Not like the usual rich tan.
"Freddy" Katie said, weakly

Freddy slightly smiled..She had spoken..Pulling the bloodied Katie into a hug, he sighed deeply. But, something suddenly felt wrong..

Katie started laughing, her voice getting deeper and deeper..Freddy pulled out of the hug to see Krueger in front of him, screaming her back away falling down.

Still screaming, Freddy didn't notice that everything was back to normal and everyone was starting strangely at him...Sighing, he stood up and closed his eyes tightly..Only to see bloodied Katie again, quickly opening them back up, Freddy walked towards the school entrance. But, he wasn't paying attention..So, he didn't see Alice running to him.
"Freddy Jones! Is that you!?" Alice yelled

Freddy stopped and looked at the blonde woman, who was now standing face-to-face with him. His eyebrow raising, he held out his hand.
"Freddy Jones" Freddy said "What do you want?"
"Finally..I found you..I'm Alice Johnson" Alice said
"You're this Alice chick, Katie had been ranting about?" Freddy asked
"Yeah..We need to talk" Alice said
"Yeah..we do" Freddy said
--------------------------------------------------------------
Katie walked around the blank walled room, sighing deeply every ten seconds. She was waiting for all the other patients to get there for their first group meeting, each person had a different psychiatric problem...Katie was kind of afraid of how they would treat her, but she knew that Emma and Arianna were at her side.

Other than thinking about the meeting, she was thinking about her escape...Katie hoped that Freddy and Alice had already talked or at least were going to soon...She really wanted out of here..Her thoughts were abruptly stopped though when she heard the door to the room opening.

Dr. Johnson walked into the room, followed by a group of teens who looked around her ago..The first person in the small group was a short girl with shoulder length blonde hair...She looked up at Katie, their eyes locking..The girls eyes of brown looked sad and lost..But, her mouth was curved up into a small smile..Happiness suddenly filled her eyes.

The next person was taller than Katie and had long light brown hair...Her piercing emerald green eyes stared at nothing ..A crazed smile was on her lips.

Five other teens walked into the room with Dr. Johnson and sat on the various couches around the room. They all stared at Katie, who was sitting next to Arianna and Emma.
"Well..Everyone this is Katie..She is new here" Dr. Johnson said "Why don't we introduce ourselves"
"Me! I'm Kaylee! I'm a happy person!" Kaylee said, practically yelling
"Yeah right" Lacey said, rolling her eyes "You're just always so happy, aren't you? That attitude will change later on for your info, Katie"
"Shut up, cutter" Kaylee snapped "Wait..I'm sorry! I'm so inconsiderate of everyone's feelings"
"Is he here? Where is her?" Kaitlin asked, her eyes shooting around in their sockets
"Who?" Katie asked, confused
"That's Kaitlin..The guy she stalked before she was put in here for being a total nut-case...She still thinks he is around her..I'm Erika" Erika said
"Really?" Katie asked
"Yeah...She is totally crazy..I'm Deanna..They just call me "Purple Deanna"..For some reason" Deanna said
"Why?" Katie asked
"Because she thinks she sees purple elephants" Damien said "I'm Damien..That guy Krueger is after me..He needs me to finish his work....If no one else will say why they are here..I'll tell you..Kaylee is a schizoid. Erika is anorexic. The other Erika tried to commit suicide and is always all moody and depressed. Shane is another cutter..There are a lot of cutters here"
"Thanks for informing me" Katie said, sarcastically..But, she was really freaked out "I don't like talking about Krueger"
"No problem" Damien said, winking at Katie "Sandra is afraid of everything"
"N-no..I'm not" Sandra said, rocking back and forth
"Then why are you doing that, huh?" Deanna asked
"S-shut up" Sandra said, glaring at Deanna
"Calm down" Dr. Johnson said "This is where we are suppose to help each other..Not torture each other with our words"
"Kevin!? I'm coming for you!" Kaitlin screamed, jumping out of her chair
"Sit down, Kaitlin" Dr. Johnson
"You are so hot Kevin! I'm coming to you!" Kaitlin screamed even louder, running into the closed metal door
"Kaitlin! Please! You are not going anywhere!" Dr. Johnson yelled, walking over and pulling her back to her seat

Katie leaned back on the couch she was sitting on..This was going to take a long time...She just wanted to see Freddy now..She need to get out of this hell-hole.
