The two girls hid under an invisibility cloak, headed for the forest, near the lake. Once in position, Ria lay on the soft grass and closed her eyes. "Remember. Wake me up when I start to struggle!"

"I know, Ria" Rae paused "…Good luck."

Ria smiled, feeling sleep taking her away.


Her eyes flew open, her plan seeming to work. She was right where she had fallen asleep. She glanced around, not seeing Freddy anywhere.

She stood, and began to walk towards the castle. Nothing was happening, and it was beginning to worry her. She didn't have to wait much longer, though. Freddy showed. She ran.

Into the castle, around the corner and to the stairs. She got on just as it started moving, just her luck. She continued on, as Freddy vanished from her sight.

Down a corridor and Freddy popped up. She turned as he made an attempt to claw her. She turned again, facing him, and pushed her hands out in front of her, feeling rage at how this was not working the way she had planned it. Freddy flew through the air, much to her surprise. She continued on.

She went up more stairs, headed for the Moonlight Room, saying the password as she approached. Inside she dashed, Freddy in hot persuit.

She spun as he rushed in, throwing her arms out, wanting to freeze him. Nothing happened…

"That's not good…" She whimpered, her eyes widening.

He went at her, she screamed, hands still out, he froze. "Panic…" She realized a little to late, laughing.

She moved forward taking a hold of him just before he unfroze.


Rae was startled by Ria's sudden cry, and the signs of a struggle. She screamed and shook Ria until she sat up straight.

Ria glanced around, looking worried.

"It didn't work?" She heard Rae ask quietly.

"I don't know…"

"Where were you? We should check there!

"Moonlight Room."

"Let's go"

They got up, running for the castle, taking close to the same path as Ria had in the Dream. The password was said by Rae. Freddy was there!

He lunged at them, catching Ria. A claw to her stomach. He then tossed her asid, into the room. She landed on a group of pillows, hands clutching her wound.

He then went toward Rae

FlashBack-

Ria was waving that dirty brown hat at her. Then she exclaimed "And here!" pointing to a phrase in one of many books laying about, "It says the you can make bad things in dreams go away, by not believing. Not being afraid. Not fueling it!"

End-

And Rae, turned from him, closed her eyes, saying "I'm not afraid of you. You aren't real" more to herself than to him "I. Do. Not. Believe. In. You!"

She then looked back, and Ria was the only one in the room, badly hurt.

"He's gone!" Rae shouted, as she ran to Ria, momentary glee filling her. Then she became aware of how bad Ria's injuries were. She cast the 'stretcher' spell, and had Ria floating on an invisible stretch behind her, taking her to the hospital wing.


OK! THE END… NOT! Puh-lease! I still have to do some sort of 'happy ending' right! Until you see it, this ain't over!

Love Ria
