Chapter 2: First meetings...

Author's notes: WOOHOO!!! Seven People reviewed!!! Okay, I checked out what you guys have problems with in the first one, and I think I may have gotten some of them fixed up! So, hold on, this is going to be FUN!

Chris and I decided to check out the local Movie Theatre, and we watched a movie there. After the movie was over, Chris got picked up, and I declined the ride she offered. "My dad should be here soon." I replied, and she nodded. "See you tomorrow for JOHN CENA!!!" She said, as her mom drove off, and she waved at me through her window. I walked over to the other side of the street, and went over to the bus stop. My dad said he'd meet me there. I sat down and turned on my disc man that I had in my purse.

While listening to Linkin Park, I looked around. Springwood reminded me a lot of my old hometown, except there, I had no friends. At least in Springwood, people were nice and happy. 'Freddy Krueger.' The name shot through my head, and I really couldn't believe it. Tommy was on drugs, so who really knew what was fact and fiction in his mind. I sighed, and shook the thought out of my head. Freddy wasn't real, right?

As I thought about it more that night, I realized that heck, it might be true. I turned on the news and saw that some drunk guys had been taken in for questioning revolving around the bar fight that killed my mom. I sighed again.

All I wish is that I could just have some payback...For the people who tried to kill me...And the people who killed my mom...

My silent prayers... I thought about what I said before my mom died. All I had ever wanted was a normal life. And I guess this was my punishment for wanting change.

Elsewhere...

Freddy clicked his fingers once more. 'Just a little bit longer, my sweet.' He thought. 'You're revenge shall come soon...And with it, vengeance on the people who killed me... That Will and Laurie...' He grinned, chuckling slightly.

Back home, I was getting prepared for school. Chris decided to meet me at my house, that way we could go to school together. It was a good plan in my opinion. It was better even for my dad, who still couldn't keep me out of his sight for too long. I pushed his limit with the mall yesterday, so he was still a little cranky. I packed school stuff, and as soon as Chris came, the two of us walked out to the bus stop, and when we arrived at school, I had the strangest feeling that something bad was going to happen today.

When I got home, my dad started yelling at me. "WHY DO YOU HAVE A BLACK EYE?" He asked, and Michelle immediately went to go get an icepack. "This cheerleader's boyfriend wanted to get back at me for insulting his girlfriend." I plainly replied. "And how did it finish?" Michelle asked me, coming in with an icepack in hand. I sat down on the couch, and she gave it to me. As I put it on my eye, I began to tell the events of the afternoon...

'Flashback'

Me and Chris were preparing to go to the bus stop, when I heard Matt, Serena's boyfriend call out. "Hey, TANYA!" I looked up, and saw Matt and Keith running towards me, with Their girlfriends trailing behind them. "So, you're the one who had the guts to call my girl a 'Fixer Upper?'" Some other kids laughed, but glares from the cheerleaders made them quit, fast. I nodded. "Ya, I did, because that's what she is." I plainly said. "And you must be her guard dog and doormat?" I didn't get a spoken answer, all I got was a big fist to the eye. My anger rose in an instant, and I started to frigging maul Keith. "YOU- NEVER- EVER- TOUCH – ME – AGAIN- YOU- GOT-IT?" I said, between punching and kicking, and he got down on a knee. "Ya, I got it..." I smirked, and then walked away, but then Chris yelled, "TANYA, WATCH OUT!!!" I turned and saw Matt tackle me, and while he was on top of me, he whispered. "Thanks for insultin' her. I'll get you're phone number later." I sat up, clutching my gut, and Chris helped me up.

'End Flashback'

My dad looked at me as I finished my story. "He tackled you, and he asks you for you're phone number?" I nodded, matter-of-factly. He brought his hands up to his temples and massaged them, and looked at me. "It's you're first day, Tanya...Please, try to be more careful of who you stand up to, and who you insult..." Michelle smiled over at me. "Don't worry, everything should heal in a couple days."

I crashed onto my bed, and instantly fell asleep. 'Why does this happen to ME?' I asked myself. 'This is NOT a normal life...' "And you want one, I assume?" I opened my eyes and saw a man sitting at a desk, with the back of the chair facing me. I sat up, and saw that he was sitting in front of a large fireplace, and I looked over towards the desk. I walked over, and the chair revolved around, and what I saw scared me. "Don't worry, My dear...Fear, is an expected reaction..." The man smiled. "You're-You're..." "Freddy Krueger, at you're service..."

He tipped his hat, standing up. "So...You're, Tanya Thomson, right?" I nodded, shakily. "Yeah, that's me. What do you want?" I asked, and I could not contain the fear in my voice. "As I said, Fear is an assumed reaction when faced with me." Could he read my mind? "In you're dreams, yes..." Oh, Crap. "Don't worry Tanya...I am you're...Undead Demon Grandfather, as it were. I am going to help you with you're little problem at you're old school. What would you do, If I told you, that the people from where you lived before were almost all in you're little...accident..." He waved his hand, and I saw his...fingers... "I can help you, if you help me... You take me to Will and Laurie, the ones who killed me before, and I will help you, to gain revenge against those who killed you, and you're mother."

The words 'Killed you' echoed through my mind. Yes, they took away almost everything that mattered to me.

I had no idea what to say. And something inside me didn't want me to say anything, and it wished that I would just leave. Freddy smiled. If you could call what he did a smile. As I closed my eyes for a moment, I did not notice what I should've. When my eyes opened, he was standing right next to me, and his claws were right to my throat. I gasped slightly, and all he could do was smile. If you could call that smiling. "I can just kill you now. But something makes me think you've changed your mind. Now, all I need you to do is show me how loyal you can be. Would you kill any of you're friends to win my help?" My eyes widened, and my jaw dropped slightly. "I'll take that as 'Hell no'." He jotted it down on a clipboard that appeared in his hand. "So, I think that I will teach you everything I know, at nighttime. That way, you're father will not think you're going crazy. I will have to ask that you go to sleep at 10:00 latest, that way you'll have about 3 hours of sleep. Weekends are more sleep time, and you will have 6 hours of sleep per day on the weekends. Good deal?" I nodded, he pulled his hand up and a contract appeared. "Sign." I shot a strange glance over at Freddy, and then at the contract. "In blood?" He nodded. "Best guarantee of customer satisfaction." I smiled slightly, then pricked my finger, and signed.

You know that feeling you get when you know you've done something wrong, and you know it? You know how you get that lump in you're stomach and you know you can't go back? During those precious few moments after I had signed that contract, not one thought like that ran through my head.

Freddy smiled at me, and took the contract back. "See you tomorrow then." I said, and then I woke up. I looked at my finger, and it was still red from the blood.

Unknown to me, Freddy looked over the contract and looked at my signature, which started to glow blood red. "Soon."
