"Now I lay we down to sleep, the master of dreams my soul I keep."

Alice had never felt so much in a hurry in her entire life. She jumped into her father's station wagon and drove as fast as she could down the state highway. Nervous she pressed the metal further down to the floor as she began feeling as if she was on the verge of a panic attack.

Why was this happening?

Jacob, was it really her baby?

She remembered one second in the doctor's office she was looking at the screen, transfixed at seeing that little thing growing inside her. The next she was inside someplace, warm and dim. There she saw her baby…inside her. Amazed she just stared at it, never knowing how much one person could love something so much. It wasn't just a child…it was her child, it was Joey's child.

Then he came…

"DON'T TOUCH HIM!"

She remembered screaming before waking up. He had found a new way, and now he wanted to hurt her baby.

Thinking back on what Joey's parents were saying scared her. How could they think she was unstable? Yes she understood no one was able to grasp on what had really happened. But why didn't she just scream it, tell them that the guy they torched had killed everyone counting their own son and was now after his unborn child. Didn't they know? Part of Alice knew they did, and that's what scared them.

She then felt something, weird and almost deep inside her. Could her baby be kicking all ready. Taking one hand off the wheel she held her stomach and told her baby that she wasn't going to let anyone hurt him.

A few hours later she arrived at Dr. Gordon's while it was still light. In a frantic hurry she darted into his small apartment and started talking a mile a minute. She told him everything, and how she knew Freddy was after her baby.

Dr. Gordon calmed her down, before sitting across from her and rubbing his very tried and worn face.

He told her the pills would of made her stop dreaming for sure, which seemed to be their plan since they both knew if Alice could no longer dream…she couldn't pull anyone else in.

No one left to die, no souls, no souls meant Freddy would grow weak again and it would become harder and harder for him to return.

Dr. Gordon said he was afraid of this the second he heard about Alice's pregnancy. He said that Freddy's only reason for coming back was to kill the last of the Elm street children. Once he was finished that all ties were cut off and he only had Alice to use to bring more children out of his reach. Once she didn't dream anymore he was stuck in a void, until…Alice became pregnant.

All bloodlines had to be cut. That's all none of the Elm Street children had any more brothers or sisters…because Krueger had killed them all twenty or so years ago.

All were too young to have children, until Joey was the last to die. The blood line hadn't been broken, now the last of the children had now conceived a child, and with that Freddy wouldn't just kill…but use as he did with Alice to bring more children.

As long as that child would be alive, Freddy would gain more power until he wouldn't be stopped anymore, and maybe break out of the dreams and into their world at last.

Alice couldn't believe what she was hearing.

"He'll keep on coming as long as he has powers, which are the souls he keeps…but even once those are gone he'll still have the child to go through."

Alice felt herself shake as Dr. Gordon came closer.

"The only way to stop this is to release the souls…and then…"

Alice blinked.

"What?"

He just looked at her.

"You don't mean…kill my baby?"

She put her hand over her stomach shaking her head.

Dr. Gordon looked ashamed and shook his head.

"Alice the blood lines must be cut once and for all, no matter how many times or ways people try to stop him he'll still have a link to work through."

"I'm not hurting Joey's baby…you can forget about that."

"Alice, more people will die…please understand…"

But Alice couldn't. Standing up and grabbed her bag and tuned out his calls after her as she darted out the door and back to her car which was parked on the street. Crying she fumbled with her keys and now knew she was alone. She was the only one fighting for this to end, and she was the only one who could stop it.

Driving back home she seemed in a hurry, somehow now she knew.

Parking the car she saw her father's was missing, most likely at his meetings. Relived she ran upstairs and started to get ready.

"It ends tonight."

Pulling on the jeans and grabbed a rather tight gray button up blouse she used to wear all the time before she developed breasts. She offered to give it to Kristen but Kristen told her that it made her look sexy and should once and a while open up and dress a little to show some skin. Smiling for a second she remembered the those happy memories. They were friends and family. Now all of this was shattered, it was no longer time to live in the shadow of anyone else, she had to fight, and she had to fight now.

She ran to her closet and took out an old brown leather jacket she bought at a thrift shop a year or so ago, pulling it on she took out an old belt she had and stung it on before grabbing Rick's bandana and trying it tightly around her hand. Flexing her fingers. Next to strung more jewels around her ankles and then slapped on Debbie's spike bracelet she gave to her a few months ago.

Tying her hair back she cleared everything off her dresser and now stared at her stronger and new reflection. Here she was, a warrior, a survivor, a mother, and a fighter. She had to fight for her loved ones, and the child she carried inside her. Looking she stood back and smiled, she had finally changed, and now it was time to fight.

Taking the glass doll off her dresser she prayed to herself and then saw the glass start to slowly move and shift as her eyes played tricks on her. With a final breath she threw the doll with all her might against the glass making it shatter into a million pieces. Then she ran and jumped through it.

Within seconds she was flying through the darkness and then through a stain glass window, with a heavy fall she found herself in a church.

She was in the dream.

Looking around at all the empty seats and sad looking statues she thought of Amanda with a sigh and then saw children up on one of the balcony singing.

"One two Freddy's coming for you…"

With a strong gust of wind the main doors flung open and Freddy stood there. This was it, now the face off had began.

Smiling he stepped forward.

"Welcome to wonderland Alice!"

Alice sharpen her eyes at him and started forward. Both started at the same time. Krueger snapped out his claws as Alice did a quick cartwheel and darted out of the way before flipping and kicking him in the ribs. She felt stronger now as life buzzed through her body like a drug. Freddy started towards her again but she flipped over him, missing the claws by a few inches.

Both circled each other like animals before he started again, this time she used her hand and punched him again, and again, and again before kicking him flat to the ground.

"You got their powers, I got their souls!"

Trying to run behind her she darted under his legs with lighten speed and flipped around before punching him again with another drop kick.

"Come on!"

Smiling he started again and this time did get her arm with the end of his claws, tearing into her leather jacket she cried for a second and then jumped again and kicked him.

"This is for Kristen!"

She kicked him

"This is for Shelia!"

She kicked him

"This is for Rick!"

Kicking him again he started to stumble.

"This is for Joey!"

She then raised her foot.

"And this is for touching my baby you bastard!"

He then fell to the ground as she spun around with her hands ready to fight.

Picking himself up he came closer and then with a flick of the arm she felt herself get picked up, legs kicking and flung with all his might across the church. Smashing into another sheet of glass she fell to the floor bloody and bruised. Aching all over she slowly picked herself up with her lip now split open.

Freddy walked over as she leaned against the wall looking up at him.

"He's mine bitch, and there's nothing you can do about it, I am internal!"

"NOOOOO!"

Screaming all the windows shattered and along with the other stain glass it showered down on her as she made tiny fists and looked up at him.

Then it caught her eye as light danced across it, just then Freddy started to raise his claw.

"Now I lay me down to sleep, the master of dreams my soul I keep…"

Picking up a large shard of broken glass she saw her reflection, broken but not dead yet. Looking at her now wide blue eyes she remembered.

"With the reflection by my side…"

She then looked up at him.

"Evil shall see itself, and IT SHALL DIE!'

Snapping up she showed Freddy the mirror, right away his dark eyes widened and he screamed, the entire church shook as she heard millions of painful screams blast through the air.

Freddy feel against the wall as she stood there watching. His chest and body started to slowly move as the cries grew louder and louder.

Then there was movement…

Right away hands through his burned flesh busted through his red and green sweater and locked him down against the wall as he began to scream in pain. His sweater tore open and then she saw it.

Millions of souls, all children or teenagers he had killed were now getting payback, they wanted freedom and the more she heard their cries, the more angry she became.

"LET THEM OUT!"

She saw painful faces press up against his skin, reaching out with arms before they started to slowly rip through. Krueger gave one final scream before his entire body burst open and she saw the most beautiful thing in the world happen.

Millions of souls, some of her friends in a beautiful glowing light floated up into the air towards the broken window which lead out to the star lit sky.

Hearing all their happy voices telling her thank you she saw Kincaid, Kristen, Nancy, Glen. Tina, Rod, Will, Rick, Phillip, Jennifer, Grady, Taryn, Shelia, and the rest all drift up to the sky laughing as they went to heaven.

Goodbye…

She heard them saw, smiling she watched them leave and now knew they were safe and happy now. There would be no more suffering.

Feeling lonely she looked out the window one last time before seeing the claw and empty sweater. Kicking it aside she smiled again.

"Rest in hell."

Feeling now alone she started towards the door when she heard a child's voice.

"Mamma!"

Alice turned and saw Jacob, tears filling in her eyes she never thought she was so happy to see him, running she picked him up and squeezed him with all her might before kissing his face.

"Let me see you…"

With tears of joy she sniffled away and brushed back his hair before gazing at him.

"We did it honey, it's over, no one is going to hurt you."

Jacob looked at her with a rather sad face, right away she knew something was wrong.

"Jacob, what's wrong."

"It's not over yet…you still need to finish this."

"What do you mean?"

He pointed to himself.

"Me, I can't live."

"No Jacob, don't say that your wrong…"

"As long as I'm alive he'll keep coming back…see…"

Alice looked down and saw all ready Freddy's claw had moved places.

"He's really weak now and it will take a while, but he'll come back as long as I'm alive."

"No!" "No Jacob, I'm not letting anyone touch you, do you understand?"

Jacob slowly shook his head.

"It has to be done mamma, I'm sorry…"

Letting him down Alice kept fighting back the tears before she heard something. Looking up she saw an entire wall made out of glass, there stood Joey behind it, looking the same that he did when she left him.

Shocked she just stared before slowly walking over in a trance, it was him…it was really him. Going up to the glass she pressed her hand against it and he smiled and did the same on the other side.

They kept looking at each other.

Amanda then started to cry.

"Boy am I glad to see you…"

Crying, Joey on the other side smiled and didn't say a word. Alice cleared her tears and looked at him again, wishing she could touch him. She had a million things to say at this moment but stayed silent.

Joey then looked over her shoulder and pointed, Alice turned and looked gasping.

Jacob was no longer there, but a new born baby…yes it was Jacob, but as he would look when he was first born. Going over slowly she picked up the baby and held it in her arms. Laughing she touched one of the baby's chubby cheeks as it giggled and went over to Joey, showing him through the glass.

"Please don't make me give him up Joey, he's beautiful…he's ours."

Joey pressed his hands against the glass, transfixed on his son, eyes filling with tears he looked up and smiled to Alice, almost amazed at what they had both made.

Alice smiled holding the baby before Joey looked at her and slowly nodded and lipped the words.

"Finish it."

Looking at him she felt her heart break and now understood, looking back at her baby she smiled once last time before looking back at the wall.

Joey was gone, looking up at the sky she saw the very last glowing life pass through the window into the star lit sky.

Joey was free now.

Feeling a chill she slowly shut her eyes and made herself wake up.
