Chapter 5: Next stop, Haddonfield Illinois
Author's notes: Wow!! Thank you guys!! I feel specials… so, here's the new chapter, and I hope everyone likes it! P.S Merry Christmas!!
Will looked at the three of us with a stern glance. It basically said 'Why me?' Laurie gave him a quick kiss on the cheek, and told him that we were heading to Haddonfield. Will turned pale as a sheet, and I hopped into the back of the truck after he did. It wasn't as cozy as I'd want, but Jason sure made it comfortable with the conversation. Sure, talking to a mass murderer zombie isn't the best choice in buddies, but Freddy wasn't a doll either…
"Hey Jason?" He looked back at me with a what glance. "Have you ever thought about redemption?" He laughed heartily, almost maniacally. "Redemption was never one of my strong virtues, Tanya." I smiled at him, yet I realized again whom I was speaking to. Jason Voorhees, known killer, a zombie, and…I sighed. I wasn't better. I had killed twice, already, and I was just a kid. Freddy made me change, but I originally did it willingly. At first I thought I had the right to do what I did, but now I know that I needed redemption. It was the only way for me to feel some time of relief for what I had done.
I looked up at the stars, and I could feel Jason looking at me. "I'm trying to find my mom and dad." I looked back at him, and through the hockey mask I saw him giving me a raised eyebrow. "When I was little, my dad told me that if I ever needed him, I just needed to look to the stars. It's childish, but I've always believed that I can find them both." Jason only nodded in reply, and I knew that he thought I was a complete and utter lunatic. I sat in the corner of the trailer, and fell asleep.
When I awoke, the sun was shining, and Jason was gone. I found him, under the tarp. He grunted as I moved the tarp back. Will and Laurie drove into a McDonalds, and I ordered a 2 Cheeseburger meal. I didn't feel like eating, but I knew that I needed strength, so I got it anyways. I drank my root beer and ate the food, not speaking at all. Laurie finally came to the back, and we stopped at a field.
"How's it going?" She asked me, and I groaned. "Do you really have to ask?" She nodded, chuckling slightly. "I've been a LOT better." Laurie smiled her smile, and pointed to a road sign. 'Haddonfield- 10 miles' "That, my little demon friend, is the home of Michael Myers." I gave her an odd look, and she started to tell me his story.
"Michael Myers was born in 1957. Until he was six, he was pretty normal child. Then, on Halloween in 1963, he killed his older sister, and never spoke a word after. He stayed on killing until a couple years ago, when a show called 'Dangertainment' came out."
My memory bank came up with something. "That was a webcast, where six or some people stayed in Michael's home, right?" Laurie nodded. "Michael killed all but two, and well, he was burned, stabbed, and everything you can think of, and then no one's heard from him since. He's supposedly still in the morgue." I nodded, and she told me that we would be arriving there soon, and we'd go and see if he wanted to help. I agreed, and Laurie went back to the front seat and we were on our way once again.
I sighed heavily as we passed by the signs, and I knew that this was a big mistake from the start. What was I thinking, siding with Freddy originally in the first place?! He told me he'd help, but all I got from him was grief. He'd let men rape and beat me, and then told me that he would help me get back at them, when he was the one who told them to do it in the first place! My head was spinning with unclear thoughts, and I knew that I needed to calm down. I never really understood it at all. But I had signed a contract…The contract.
I fell into my darkness once again, and I arrived in the place where I had signed the contract in my own blood. I looked around cautiously, and I felt a cool wind. "So you are here." Freddy emerged from the shadows. "Yes. I'm still here. I am surprised, however, that you want to show your face." "All I want is the contract." Freddy grinned. "You want it? You have to keep up your end of the bargain. I helped you kill the people who killed you; You kill Laurie and Will. That was our deal!"
I glared at him coldly. "Deals get broken."
He smiled. "So do whores like you." My blood boiled. "I was there, Tanya." My confused look made him grin even more. "I watched as they raped every inch of innocence out of you. I heard that wonderful singing voice. You were screaming 'Stop! Stop! Please!'" He was imitating my voice, and I began to feel tears. He had my voice. "I was there, as every inch of your body was being beaten. I watched as those men had fun with you. And I even had my own little fun." My rage was rising, and he smirked. "I only wish your mother was there to see her little baby cry like a little whore."
I had enough. I screamed in fury, my features changing, and I held his neck high against the brick wall. My eyes rolled back, and I growled at him. "You never, ever talk about my mother!" The contract appeared in my other hand. "Consider our temporary partnership destroyed." The contract burst into flames, and both it, and me, disappeared into the shadows.
I thought I woke up, but I found myself in a completely different place. It was my old house, back when my mom and dad were still together. I saw both of them come out, and I was with them, as a little girl. "Redemption is possible, you know. For people like us…I thought it was never possible, and I killed a couple people that never needed to die. I thought it was for everyone's own good, but I was wrong." I whirled around, and saw a scraggly old woman. "Who are you?" She smiled at me, something that made me comfortable. "My name is Laurie Strode. Michael Myers was my brother." My confusion must have showed, as she smiled again. "I'm dead. And so is he, for the time being."
"I want you to know what the cost is for your redemption. You seem to have a good head on your shoulders, so here it is. You must kill Freddy, and make sure he stays dead. Michael will help you, that I am sure. He will need persuading, however. Tanya, you have great power lying within your heart. It has lied there, even before Freddy gave you some power. Your parents are waiting for you. But they will wait as long as needed, so that you may avenge them for their needless deaths." I turned to my parents, and saw them looking at me with warm smiles. I smiled back, and thanked Laurie. "Good luck." I blacked into the darkness again, and I barely heard her say 'You'll need it.'
Later that night…
When I finally awoke, Jason was shaking me slightly, and I followed him off the back. "Are you all right?" I nodded, as I followed Will and Laurie. "I'm just eager to get this over with." Jason agreed, as the dim lights of the morgue shone.
We weren't necessarily breaking in, Laurie told me, we were only taking what we needed, then leaving. I still thought of it as burglary, I said, but Laurie smirked. "I definitely think that we're taking something that they do NOT want." I nodded in agreement, and we walked into the stale air. Jason grunted again, his standard voicing of hello, I think, and we went down the corridors.
We walked slowly and silently, and I prayed no one would be hearing us. I backed into a wall and shifted slowly, seeing a security guard still on duty. I crept behind him and hit my elbow against the back of his head, he fell down, and I grabbed his flashlight, hitting him again in the same place. I sighed heavily, and the four of us walked silently. Laurie turned to me and Jason and told us that we had to go on ahead alone. Jason nodded, as Will and Laurie walked back down the hall, back to the truck.
I was about to open one of the doors, when a laugh came through the window. I froze, and I looked over to Jason, praying that was him. He shook his head no, and pointed down the hall, where a familiar face was scraping his claws against the wall. "Hello my pretty little whore. And Jason, you look like the life of the party!" Freddy grinned, and he appeared beside us. "And who are we rescuing today, hmm? Well, we're in Haddonfield, and the only killer I know that lives here is old Mikey!" I glared at him, and he laughed.
Then a knife plummeted down to his shoulder. He yelped in pain, and turned around, facing who had just stabbed him.
One of my personal thoughts is why do all psychopathic killers look like they come out of the grave constantly? Michael Myers face was plain white, a mask, I figured, and dark eyes cut into me. He nodded at me, and I nodded back, partly in shock. I had no idea how he knew- Laurie Strode. The thought shot into my head, and Michael nodded again. Michael and Freddy started going at it, then Freddy screamed in anguish, and disappeared… leaving me with my two new…um…pals.
Michael looked from Jason to me, and back to Jason, and held out his knife. I was a teeny tiny amount afraid, but Jason nudged me forward, and I took the knife hesitantly. Michael nodded, and walked past us. "So um…does that mean he's coming?" Jason shrugged. "I think all three of us need new clothes if we do. We definitely won't fit in with the in crowd." I chuckled slightly, as we followed Michael to the exit.
When we got into the truck, I knew that Jason was right. About the clothes anyway. We went the next morning and Will bought two very oversized coveralls, while me and Laurie went to the clothes store. Michael and Jason were having fun…underneath the tarp, as I told them not to make any noise, because we didn't need any distractions at the moment. Laurie got me into these interesting clothes that made me look like Lara Croft from Tomb Raider or something. In my opinion, they were a little bit too…wired for me. No worries, I guess, as I slipped into the black pants, white muscle shirt and black leather jacket. Laurie grabbed me a pair of black sunglasses, and I sighed heavily. Make me look even more like a dork, why don't you…
Laurie paid for the clothes, and we went to the side of the road place again. Jason and Michael went into the washrooms, where screams were being heard, and me and Laurie sighed. People ran out, and I saw why. Will bought Jason a new mask…And he switched it while people were looking. Wasn't the best of ideas, but I guess I didn't mind anymore. I was having daily parties with three of the most famous serial killers of all time. Did I mind that some of them were kinda grossly animated? No…okay, maybe a little bit.
Laurie looked to the three of us, and smiled. "We only need one more thing. A signature weapon for Tanya here." Will grabbed something from the front seat, and it was a long cardboard box. I opened it, and saw a chrome baseball bat. I smiled at it, and Will and Laurie agreed. "It's time to go back to hell."
