. . .

After the breech delivery in 1942 that gave life to Fred Krueger, the boy grew up with a past worthy of disregard. Years later in January 1963, Freddy took to the aisle the humble Loretta Johnson. Three years later, Loretta gave birth to their first and only child. 1967 brought the tragic curfewed revolution of the 'Springwood Slasher'. The parents' unspeakable persuetion. The entire time, the assassin was living right under their noses.

Hell, 1970

"But why is this man so special? Why is he the one?" The unnamed dream demon inquired Him. The dream demon had never seen Him, and he knew only one thing about Him. He was called Satan, and he sought only man with the most immoral core. "This man is just an ordinary man. Father to child, spouse to woman..."

"Observe."
He could not see the devil, but the gleaming pond in all its luster rippled, as if finger had connected to liquid. The devil had touched it.

The vision materialized before his eyes on the surface of the moonlit pond. The vision of a meager, golden blonde haired man. The man wore an aged glove on his right hand, manufactured by he himself. On four fingers, hinges had been placed, connecting to sharp four inch blades he had attached, which allowed the knives to move like real fingers. He carefully sharpened the glinting weapons against a blade sharpening mechanism.

"Are those"

"Murder weapons." They watched in quiet fixation for another moment or so before the Fene intervened.

"That is Fred Krueger, and this is why he is the one I have chose to become caretaker of the nightmares."

"But when" The dream demon pleaded hungrily.

"When the time is right, Krueger will sin. He will sin seven times."

"Pride, envy, gluttony, lust, anger, greed, sloth." The demon of dreams whispered breathlessly.

"Precisely." The devil nodded. "He will open his gateway to hell. The fire will scorch, and Fred Krueger will not leave hell alive."

Springwood, Ohio 1970

Fred Krueger embraced his four year old child Katherine,in his arms as his wife Loretta Krueger enveloped an arm around his frame. Katherine bounced on her father's lap, giggling as the photographer adjusted his equipment.

"Smile." He announced, and the blinding flash overpowered their eyes. "Now that's a loving family." He told Freddy as he handed the man the correct cash. The photographer whose nametag bore Ed, squat down to Katherine's level.

"You're knee-high to a pig's eye ain't you" He joked, causing the girl to shriek with laughter. Ed gently tugged one of Katherine's long chesnut brown pigtails, not foreglimpsing that the tiny girl's father watched with narrowed eyes. Ed pulled a shining red lollipop from his pocket, along with a tattered newspaper clipping, and discarded toffee wrappers, he handed it to Katherine.

After this had been done, he stood and lowered his voice in the parents' direction. "She's an angel you know. Not many kids like her these days. Better protect her real good, with the Springwood Slasher out and all..." Loretta beamed, patting her short bob cut, and entwining an arm through Freddy's.

Krueger's eyes pursued the slender woman and her strawberry blond haired seven year old daughter walking past the glass windows of the 'Family Photographing' shop. But his eyes neglected the mother, who most licentious men would gaze towards longingly.

Instead, they followed the young girl's every motion. Every step, every second.
