Hi! I have been busy with school so I haven't updated for a while. But here's chapter 6!

Chapter 6 Hope

Poor Jess, she wasn't prepared for this. But how could she, Patricia's stories had been too strange and unbelievable. And now, here she was in her dreams and in front of her was Freddy Krueger himself grinning at her. Her mind was blank and she couldn't think clearly.

¨This is just a dream¨ she whispered to herself not knowing if she believed that.

Freddy grinned even more and waved his hand at her. She blinked once…

And he was gone…

Jess froze, that wasn't supposed to happen. Where is he! A cold wind made her freeze and she looked around but saw nothing. She looked back at the house and somehow it felt like it wanted her inside. She hesitantly took a step backwards but something grabbed her from behind and squeezed her neck hard.

Jess screamed and managed to get herself free and without thinking she ran against the house.

She wanted inside and locks the door before that Freddy would kill her like he had done with Patricia.

She runs inside the house and before she closed the door she looked at the street and saw Freddy standing there glaring at her. He looked too satisfied…

¨ Leave me alone you bastard! ¨ she yelled at him and shut the door. Soon she heard him singing with that creepy voice:

¨ Three four, better lock your door…¨. Jess stood at the door listening to what he was doing outside. But somehow her instincts told her that the door wouldn't be enough to save her. She looked around the house; everything was dusty and old in a creepy way.

¨ You think you can hide inside My house? This is my world and I'm in control here…¨ he laughed and Jess just stood there listening. Nothing happened and it was so quiet. She sneaked to the window and looked out but saw no one.

¨ Looking for someone? ¨ she suddenly heard behind her making her jump in the air. She whirled around but not fast enough. She saw how Freddy's blades sank in her shoulder and the pain was so strong she just gasped.

¨ Now, don't be so stupid as Melissa was and try to kill me¨. But she didn't bother to listen and quickly she ran to left to the dark dining room and grabbed a chair. She raised it to the air and turned against Freddy.

¨ Take one step closer and I beat you to death you sick bastard!¨ she yelled but she could hear her fear in her voice. Unfortunately, so could he.

¨ Ah, I can hear and smell your fear. You're brave but stupid if you think you can save yourself with a piece of wood¨ he slowly made a lazy gesture with his right hand at the chair. But she kept a strong hold of the chair not breaking eye contact.

Freddy sighed and shook his head slowly.

¨ So you're not the smart type¨ he cackled and took two steps against her.

¨ I'm warning you…¨ she stammered. The chair was shaking and so was she. Oh God! I don't wanna die she thought.

¨ Warning me? ¨ and then he laughed harder and pointed a blade at her.

¨ Enough talking! I hate talking with bitches like you¨ he snarled and lunged at her.

¨ No!¨ she screamed and hit Freddy hard with the chair. Freddy stumbled backwards but that was enough to give Jess the opportunity to run from him.

She run against the front door but it wasn't there anymore. She looked left and right but there was no door. She heard footsteps behind her and quickly ran upstairs trying to find a way out of this. There was a long hallway and she tried to open every door but every one was locked. At the end was one door and it opened. Jess could have laughed in relief but had no time. Quickly she locked the door but after that she realized how stupid she had been.

She locked herself inside, Freddy could get inside if he wanted and there was no window. The room was small and there was only a chair and a table there. She gulped, she didn't like this at all!

Suddenly the lights went out and she saw only darkness. She squeaked and fumbled for the wall to find the door. She didn't care anymore if Freddy was or not on the other side but she saw scared of the dark and she wanted out.

¨ Please let me out!¨ she screamed.¨ I don't like the dark.¨ she slowly walked forward to the point were she remembered the door was. But once again there was no door. It felt like her heart had stopped. Desperately she fumbled for the door but couldn't find it.

¨ Let me out! Oh God, please let me out! ¨ she cried but got no answer.

¨ Click¨

She turned around panicking. Something was in here! Or someone and she knew who.

¨ Please…¨ she stammered.

¨ Afraid of the dark Jess? Poor baby.¨ he whispered but Jess didn't know where he was. Maybe left. So she moved right.

¨ I'm here…¨ the voice whispered from right. Jess whimpered and quickly run left.

¨ Got you! ¨ he roared and grabbed her arm. She screamed and kicked but nothing helped. He lifted her in the air squeezing her injured arm. She was now crying, begging him to let her go.

¨ No, no, no. I'm just getting started. You're not going anywhere.¨ and then he slashed her other arm. And then her legs…her arm…Jess screamed in pain begging for God but no help came.

¨I'll do anything…please stop…¨ she whispered. Freddy released her and she fell to the floor not getting up. She was too weak because of the blood she has lost.

¨ I love when my victims beg, and they always beg hoping for mercy. But Freddy shows no mercy! ¨ he laughed and sat down on her stomach. Jess felt the air escape her lungs but she was too weak to say anything.

Slowly he cut her chest. But she said nothing; the only thing he could hear was her heartbeat and her quick breathing, how delicious.

¨ Wanna die fast? I'll give you the chance to choose¨ he whispered in her ear but she was too weak to speak.

¨ You wanna die slowly, do you? ¨ he continued.

Now he saw her shaking her head.

¨ No? Pity¨. He got up and looked down on her. Her heart was beating more slowly and she was almost dead. He had to kill her now if he wanted her soul.

¨ As you wish..¨ and with that he trust his blades in her chest cutting her heart in two. And it was over. Freddy saw her pretty little soul flying into him and he laughed.

¨ Two killed.¨ he told himself satisfied.

¨ But one escaped…¨ he continued feeling less pleased. Oh how he would enjoy killing Melissa slowly and painfully, enjoying hearing her begging for her life. But he would not care, he wanted her to suffer!

…

I was trying to calm myself because I had suffered so much. He had tortured me and almost killed. And I heard Mary, but what she said made no sense. My power? Don't let Freddy get them or…what?

I sighed, rubbing my sore arm. Good thing I healed myself, the only good thing that happened me today. I looked at the watch, it was almost morning. So I got up and walked downstairs to the kitchen. I was too hungry to think…

Later…

It was raining outside and it was very dark. Maybe there would be lightning later…Nice.

I had thought about Mary's words but they made still no sense. She would take my powers and use them. Against Freddy? I think so, but how can I give them? And when?

Does Freddy know?

Nah, that's impossible. He knows only that I can teleport myself and get wherever I want in the dreams. And I hope it will stay that way!

I heard the phone ring.

¨Hello?¨

¨ Hi. Um, you don't maybe know me but I know you.¨

¨ Who are you? ¨ I asked.

¨ My name is Lucy and I'm Jessica's friend. Do you know Jess? ¨ she asked. Her voice was shaky, like she had been crying.

¨ Not exactly. Why do you ask that? ¨ Now I was confused.

¨Well… do you remember the party? A couple of days ago.¨

¨ Yes but…hey! You are those two girls talking about…¨ I shut up. That was close!

¨ Freddy Krueger? ¨

I almost dropped the phone. I really had hoped they would have forgotten him. Damn, they were in serious trouble. Freddy could kill them!

¨ He killed Jess last night…¨ Lucy continued. ¨ And I think I'm next. I don't wanna sleep anymore and I don't know what to do! I heard your friend Mary was killed. Was it Freddy? I know it was…¨

¨ ….yes¨ I said.

¨ Why does he want to kill us? ¨ she suddenly screamed. ¨ Why we and not nobody else? ¨ I heard she was angry and scared. I knew how she felt.

¨ Because we are the only one who knows him. And if he keeps killing he will be enough strong to get to everybody's dreams, you knew him or not.¨ I took a deep breath, it felt so good to be able to speak to someone about this.

She didn't answer.

¨ What? ¨ I asked,

¨ I told about him to the others¨ she whispered. I think I just heard wrong.

¨ Exactly WHAT did you do! ¨ I yelled in rage. ¨ Are you crazy? ¨

¨ I didn't know. I was confused.¨ she stammered.

¨ Do you understand that everyone who knows him is practically already dead! ¨ I continued. This just wasn't happening! Not to me please!

¨ But you aren't…¨ she tried.

¨ Yes, but do you have any idea what he…what he did to me last night? He…¨ I couldn't continue because I was crying.

¨I'm sorry. But you survived¨ she said.

¨ Yes, but it was damn luck! Nothing else. He tortured me and I don't want to feel it anymore…not me or anybody else. But…¨ I gulped, trying to relax.

¨ But what?¨ she asked quietly.

¨ But to how many exactly did you tell about him. And don't lie please.¨ I hissed. I was again angry.

¨ Well…two.¨

¨ Are you crazy? Do you have any idea how many now can be in danger? They probably tell their friends, and soon the whole damn town knows Freddy Krueger!¨ I yelled.

¨ Sorry, I didn't know. But I made them promise not to tell anyone!¨ I sighed, I could hear she really was sorry. She was in pain and so was I. We both have lost a close friend, and she has lost two.

¨ I'm sorry, I didn't mean to yell¨ I whispered.

¨ It's ok. I understand. Don't worry, you can trust them, they won't tell anyone. But what can we do? Do you have any plans? ¨ she asked carefully. I heard the hope in her voice, begging for a plan.

¨ One, but you would never understand. But it will only happen when it's the right time and it is not now.¨ I answered.

¨ When is it? ¨

¨ I really don't know but until that we have to stay awake. Do you understand me? ¨

¨ But what about the others? ¨ she sobbed.

¨ We can only hope they forget him before the night. Or…¨ I paused and took a breath. ¨ you could call them and tell them not to fall asleep! It's the only way! ¨

¨ Ok. I'll do it.¨

¨ Good. You know that the more he kills, the stronger he will get.¨

¨ I know…¨

I breathed out more relieved. Maybe we still had a change. Hope Mary is strong enough soon…

¨ So, can I call you later? ¨ Lucy asked.

I laughed.

¨ Of course you can, anytime. I'll call when it's time to finish Freddy once and for all! ¨ I said in a high voice full of strength.

¨Ok. Bye.¨ she said more happy.

¨ Good night.¨ I said.

¨ What!¨ she screamed.

¨ Just joking. No sleeping right? ¨ I laughed leaning against the chair and heard her breathing out.

¨Yeah, bye.¨

Click. And I was alone.
