A/N - In this chapter, you get to see some people who Freddy and Zack thought they'd never see again . . . You get to see them, they don't. Ba-hah I am so evil.

I'm FINALLY UPDATING! I should get a prize!

The darkness pressed in around her, but she told herself she wouldn't panic. I will not panic, she thought desperately. This is no different from any of the other times I've woken up tied to a bed in complete darkness with no idea where I am and unable to make any noise.

That's right, said a nasty little voice in her head. Panic.

So she was in an ugly situation. She could handle it. She'd been mauled, beaten, verbally and physically abused; surely she could take control of this situation. She wasn't a stupid girl. She wasn't weak. She was strong, independent, self-controlled, organised . . .

Dear God, she thought, almost laughingly. I sound like Summer.

The door opened. She was blinded by the sudden blast of light and noise.

"For God's sake!" yelled a voice she recognised. It was her captor, the man who'd come to her house pretending to be a Social Services officer. "Just hold her up, Erica! She'll wake up in a minute, and then what'll we do?"

Erica! She knew that name! She was Freddy's recent 'friend'(or sex slave, depending on his mood). But who were they trying to bring in?

They entered, the man walking backward, Erica pushing the motionless body of a girl with black hair into the room.

"Smmr!" she tried to yell through the cloth in her mouth. The man looked up from where he'd dropped he on the floor.

"DAMMIT!" he roared. "She's awake!"

Katie had a fleeting glimpse of the man rushing toward her with what seemed to be a needle in his hand. Then there was a sting in her arm. Then darkness claimed her yet again.

Tomika was sitting alone in her home. Her parents had gone to her little brother's science fair, so she was left alone, for a while. She was scared to be alone, considering what Dewey had told her the night before. Every simple noise of the house sounded like some freak sneaking in to kidnap her. She was scared to death.

"All the girls should stay at a boy's house . . ."

Without stopping to think, she picked up the phone and dialled a number she had memorized, even though she'd only called it once before.

"Hey Lawrence," she said quietly, when he picked up. "Wanna come over? I'm home alone."

Lawrence couldn't believe what was happening. He'd had a crush on Tomika forever, and now he was goping to spend the night at her house! Well, until her parents got home at least. He took a deep breath and knocked three times at her door.
