Chapter 3 First meeting and not the last…

I didn't sleep a single second that night anymore. I was just sitting and staring out of the window into the night. Everything was so unreal and scary. The biggest question was if he remembered me and more important: did he remember the promises he had yelled ten years ago

After an eternity the sun finally rise up behind the trees shining on my face. It was finally morning and I slowly got up and walked down to eat something, if I could.

All these years and why did it have to start all over again? I had forgotten him and now it felt like he was part of my life! I knew now that there was no return and I would never forget him again. I wish I never had entered to his boiler room and never kicked that thing down catching his unwanted attention. I'm the biggest idiot!

¨ Why do I have to be so stupid! ¨ I yell to myself in the quiet house. I was angry and confused, not knowing what to do.

¨ No, I'm not dead yet and I'm not going to die without a fight! ¨ I said determined. Great…now I'm talking to myself. Just great…

The rest of the day I just lay on the couch trying to find a solution. Could Freddy be killed? I doubt that…forget him? Nah, impossible. Should I move away? I really didn't want to move to my parents. I really love being all by myself with no parents telling me what to do. Suddenly a terrible thought struck me. Sooner or later I have to sleep and when that happens…oh shit.

I jumped up trying to cool myself down. Don't panic…don't goddamn panic! How long could I stay awake? I have heard that someone managed to stay up…was it ten days? I didn't remembered but if I could stay up at least five days I should come up with a plan. Now, the only thing I can really do is buy coffee and much!

So, that was my plan. The two first days was quite easy and I tried to think about a plan but still I have nothing.

After a couple of days I was so tired! I couldn't even think clearly anymore. I looked on the list I wrote about things I could do. Yup, empty. Just great, but how do you kill someone who isn't even real. I mean, real like we in the real world. But he is real in the dreams so…he is real just like me. But if he lives there how can he kill me? Dreams can't kill.

¨ oh yes, these dreams kill you and if you don't do anything you're going to die very soon.¨ I muttered to myself.

Now my thought went to my own so called dream abilities. I was able to control MY dreams a bit and I could go to different places but I can't control or get away from Freddy's boiler room. I would be a little safer as long as I didn't enter his boiler room. And when that would happen…I couldn't even think about it.

I looked out and noticed it was already dark. I yawned and quickly took a sip of coffee. Damn, I can't continue like this.

My eyes were so heavy…no! I started to jump around trying to stay awake. But soon I just stood still almost sleeping. I felt tears running down my cheek…I give up. I fell on the couch and closed my eyes preparing myself as good as I could…

Slowly I opened my eyes…I was looking at the moon. I got up looking around. I was outside our house. It was so quiet…too quiet. It was so dark and I didn't know what to do. Soon I was walking along Elm Street looking behind me a couple of times. But I couldn't see or hear him so I was still safe. As long as I stay here he won't notice me.

I stopped in front of a house, it was Patricia's house. She was a bitch, hanging out with every good looking boy she could find. I really hate her.

I was about to go further when I heard a scream from the house. I froze, whirling around watching the house. What the hell? Is someone else in MY dream? That had never happened. Unless…this isn't my dream?

¨ Patricia! Is that you? ¨ I yell and I got a scream to an answer. I run inside the house. Was she having nightmares? Maybe her hair was pink or a boyfriend broke up with her. I chuckled evilly; I really wanted to see this.

I slowly open the front door and sneak inside. It was dark and cold but it didn't bother me. I walk upstairs and hear a crash upstairs. I quickly run upstairs and when I had my hand on the doorknob I saw blood on the floor. Oh shit…what the hell is she dreaming about?

I gulp and slowly open the door…and scream.

Freddy was tearing Patricia open and there was blood everywhere. When I scream Freddy whirls around and oh, he looked angry. His eyes were narrowed and he looked pissed that someone had disturbed his killing moment.

For a moment we just stare at each other, my eyes full of fear and his with surprise and disbelief. None of us said anything, and suddenly he looks angrier, like he had remembered something. And I knew what.

Slowly he points one of his blades at me.

¨ You…I remember you…piggy! ¨ he roars in anger and drops Patricia's body.

¨ Oh no…¨I mutter and turn around running as fast as I could. I run outside and over the grass. This couldn't happen…not to me! It was too dark and soon I stumble and fall on the cool grass.

¨Ouch! ¨ I rub my sore shoulder and quickly get up. When I look up he is standing in front of me tapping one of his blades against his chin.

¨Well, well…little piggy isn't little anymore.¨ he chuckles evilly looking me up and down. I was so scared that I couldn't move. I have to get away…no think about a place anywhere as far as possible from him!

¨ Ten years, eh? Now, I always wondered how a little girlie like you could escape me like that. It was very rude, but hey you're back and that's the most important! ¨ he laughs and stares at me.

¨ H…hi Freddy. Nice meeting you. Can I go now? ¨ I stutter and take a few steps backwards. I was shaking and he knew I was scared out of my mind. He was grinning and I could see his rotten sharp teeth and he flicked his tongue over his lips. I really didn't want to know what was on his sick mind.

¨Tsk, tsk, tsk. You're not going anywhere! ¨ he yells and lunge at me! I scream and turn around running as fast as I could.

¨ Leave me alone! ¨ I scream back at him and try to think how I could escape this. I heard he was coming closer because I could hear his breathing!

Think, think…I want to…School! I concentrated and then I could feel how I disappeared in front of Freddy just when he was about to grab me and then I was in school. Why did I think about school? I look around; I couldn't see or hear him.

¨One point to me! ¨ I laugh to myself. I did it again! Ha! Oh, Freddy would be so pissed off. I knew that was not so good but it was funny so I leaned on the wall and laughed.

¨What are you laughing at bitch? ¨ I stop laughing and look at Freddy who is standing beside me. He raise his right arm and quickly he tears open my left arm. Terrible pain. I scream in pain feeling blood running down my arm.

¨One point to Freddy! ¨ he cackles rising his right hand again ready to strike.

¨ Stop! ¨ I yell and stumble backwards. I look down on my arm and I see four deep cuts. God it hurts!

¨ What do you want? Can't you leave me alone? ¨ I stutter and then he leap at me pushing me against the wall.

¨I want to know how you got away ten years ago and for a moment ago! ¨ he whispers in my ear. I try to push him away but he grabs my wrists pinning me against the wall. He leans closer staring into my eyes. And there we stood staring into each others eyes for a while. I didn't dare to move; otherwise he would kill me with one swipe with those blades! Slowly he release my arm and trace one blade down my chin without cutting it.

¨Aren't we pretty. You were cute ten years ago but now you're better…¨ he murmur looking down on me. I tried again to push him away but he pushes me hard against the wall. He lifted me up so my feet didn't touch the floor. I felt so helpless…I couldn't concentrate, I couldn't get away! I need to concentrate but he was distracting me with his cold eyes.

I smile looking at him. He looks confused and glares angry at me.

¨ One point to me Freddy¨ I whisper and then I kick him hard on his chest sending him flying backwards. I laugh triumphantly and run along the hallway to the door. I pull it but it's locked!

¨ No! This isn't possible, I didn't lock it! ¨ I yell hysterically and whirl around. Freddy had got up and was now walking slowly against me dragging his blades along the wall making that terrible familiar noise. I tried to open another door but it was too locked! Oh no…

¨ I locked them. Did you think I would let you out after that? ¨ he hisses clicking with his blades. ¨ So that you know, Freddy is in control here now, you bitch! ¨

I gulp realising I couldn't control anything here. I had one thing left to do. I thought about my bed and wave a bye bye to him but he was too fast. Before I disappeared he lunges at me and push me once again against the wall. Nothing happened…I look around still in the school, pinned by Freddy against the wall.

I look at him, why can't I disappear again? He chuckles pressing against me until I whimpered in pain.

¨ Two points for catching the bitch! ¨ he laughs. ¨ I guess I won. Or do you have any more tricks hmm? I'm waiting.¨ he says staring deep into my eyes. When he saw my fearful eyes he chuckles.

¨ Want a kiss? ¨ he murmur and before he could do anything I suddenly wake up leaving behind me a pissed Freddy.

I scream and fall down on the floor. I look confused around; I was in the living room.

¨I'm awake! Thank god! ¨ I laugh in relief. Then I feel pain in my left arm. There was blood on my clothes and on the couch. The cuts were deep but I think I don't need to go to the hospital. I was in chock…he cut me! And next time he probably kills me!
