A/N:Reviews, commentaries and critics welcome. i don't own Steven universe or A nightmare on Elm Street.
I thank the Beta reader Ivy Rain for helpping out in this story.
Steven did not know where he was. This isn't Beach City. This place had two story houses up and down the street. To his left there was a white, two-story house with a red door that had the number 1428. Looking at the neighborhood baffled Steven. He had never seen it before. Then heard a laugh. Turning his head rapidly, he finally spotted where it was coming from. It was girl hiding behind a big tree looking at him. She was dressed in a white dress and had blond hair and blue eyes. She looked at him smiling and said. "Do you want to play?"
"Uhm…I don't know." He said remembering his dad. "Maybe we can walk?" He said trying to smile at her.
"You just think I'm ugly." The girl said as she began to run from him.
"Hey!Wait!" He shouted, running now. "I don't think you're ugly! I just had really too much to think about and…" He suddenly stopped when he saw the same girl jumping rope between two other girls. They had the same blonde hair and blue eyes…and same white dress.
Come and play with us,Steven! Just jump with me." She said in a calm voice.
"Ugh ok. I'll do it." He said defeated. As he entered the rope and began to jump he noticed that the girls had begun singing. Slowly at first but getting louder and louder.
One, two, Freddy's coming for you.
"Uh? Who is Freddy?" Steven asked, confused. The girl only smiled and keep singing.
Three, four, better lock your door
"Why do I need to look my door?" He asked as the other girls joined the chorus.
Five, six, grab a crucifix.
Steven noted that the rope was going faster.
Seven, eight, Gonna stay up late.
"Girls stop! This is creepy!" He nearly yelled.
Nine, ten, never sleep again...
The he tripped. As he rose up he noticed that it was no longer daytime. The girls were gone and the house was now different. It was old. The white paint had long ago lost its shine and the door was bolted with bars on the windows. He moved closer to the house to get a better look. As he was moving forward the door opened and a shadow appeared there.
"Hello kid." The shadow of a man said to him.
"Eh…hello, uhm sir. Have you seen some girls passing by?"Steven asked getting weirded out by this.
"Oh, I've seen a lot of girls and boys." Then the man came out of the house. He was dressed with battered old black pants, a green and red sweater and his right hand resting on his right shoulder and on top of his head was an old, brown hat. His face was obscured from view.
"Maybe I should search for them in another place." Steven said as he backed away.
"I'm afraid, Chubby that you can't leave." The man said, letting out a laugh.
"Hey! That wasn't nice!" Steven said back to the man. "You need to apologize."
"Or what?" The strange voice answered, stepping into the light.
Steven never thought that he could feel both fear and disgust at the same time. The man standing in front of him looked terrifying. His face was burned; skin red with muscle showing. What was left of his skin had a glossy slimy tone. His teeth, which were smiling now were completely ears fused with skin and in his right hand, which finally left his shoulder was now showing a claw.
Before Steven could react, he heard a voice that said.
"STEVEN! WAKE UP!" Turning quickly, he saw a woman dressed in white. "STEVEN! !"
"Steven, wake up"Amethyst said to him.
Steven sat up, disoriented. "UH WHAT?"
"Wake up dude, it's time to work out." said Amethyst. She was dressed in a purple track suit and as she said that she began to jog in place.
"Work out…but Amethyst…is 6:00 am."Steven said.
"Better…the beach is alone; the air is fresh and there is no sun so by the time when we come back it will be day." She said while doing jumping jacks.
"Ok" He said accepting that there simply was no way to get her to quit.
After getting dressed,Amethyst and Steven began their morning jog. Steven thought that maybe this was a good idea. This was calm, it was not really bad for him and took his mind from thinking about his father. Not to mention that the moon that was now lowering in the horizon looked beautiful.
"Hey Amethyst…how much are we going to run?" asked Steven after some time when his legs were beginning to hurt a little.
"The book said that a healthy human can probably run 5k without problems so I programmed 7k" Amethyst looked to her side "I left a bunch of marks to know how far we've gone." She signaled to a couple of rocks. "So we must be in the 5th k Steven…two more to go!" She said picking up the pace.
This was going to hurt. After pushing the last 2k Steven was inside Amethyst in her helicopter form. They were returning to the house after 57 minutes of running which Amethyst was satisfied with the time they marked. Then Steven saw it.
"Amethyst wait." Steven said, suddenly signaling tothe Pizza's house where a couple of police people were and an ambulance was parked.
"Whoa, what happened there?" Amethyst said descending and transforming back; trying to catch-up to Steven who was already close to Jenny.
"Jenny, I saw police cars and that ambulance. What happened? Are you or your sister hurt?" —Steven asked panicking.
"No. It's Gunga." Jenny then crossed her arms and holding in sobs said "She was sleeping and then there was a short-circuit in a lamp…there was a fire and she" Jenny could not continue anymoreand began sobbing.
Steven was beyond shocked, he turned and saw that Kiki was already there and after begging her to tell him that this was not true she sadly corroborated her sister story. Her grandmother was dead.
