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.

It was a long way for both Steven and Amethyston the way home. Their journey was filled with awkward silences. As they entered the house Pearl was there to receive them.

"AMETHYST, where did you take Steven?He was supposed to have breakfast at 7. It's now is 7:30. My whole schedule is now ruined!" Pearl began to say, but stopped as she saw the dejected and sad looks in both of them. "What happened? Are you hurt Steven?" She said as she began to check him for any kind of visible physical ailment.

"Naneufa is dead, Pearl." Amethyst said glumly. "She died last night."

"But how? She was fine last night when we saw her. I talked to her." Pearl said in disbelief. "There must be something, but"Amethyst had enough.

"She is dead. Do you want to know how?" She said getting close to her. "She got burned alive, some random lamp got screwed up and burned her in her sleep. Now are you happy?!" She yelled at Pearl.

Pearl was shocked beyond words. How someone so kind could have died such horrible death, but before she could answer Steven said in the quietest emotionless voice.

"Pearl, can I have breakfast? I am a little hungry." Steven asked, looking at Pearl, but his eyes not really looking at her. Pearl then knew that this was not the moment to discussthis with Amethyst. She walked to the kitchen to grab the food that she had prepared forSteven. In accordance with Steven's new exercise program she had prepared for him one chicken breast cooked in butter, a salad and mineral water to drink. She had put effort to make the food. She even took a bite from the chicken to see if it tasted correct. After a while of seeing Steven eat, so sad, she got an idea. Standing up she went to the phone and made a call.

"Come on be there." Pearl said as she had the phone in her hands and lucky for her she didn't have to wait long.

"Hallo, Maheswaran residence" a voice said.

"Connie?"

"No, wait a minute." She heard Connie's mom call her to the phone. "Connie, you've got a call from Pearl." Her mother yelled. It didn't take long before Connie came to the phone.

"Pearl, what happened? Is Steven alright? Connie asked.

"He is ok. He's just sad right know. Naneufa died last night and he looks so" Pearl sighed "I don't know what to do. Would you come here and talk to him? You must have more experience with mortality and human issues." She said, not knowing how insensitive that sounded.

"I have school this morning, but I will be there this afternoon. I will see if my mom will let me stay this weekend now that it's Friday." She said knowing that Steven probably blamed himself as always.

"Oh, that is good. I will tell Steven the great news!" Feeling more confident she returned to the kitchen to see Steven finishing his food and cleaning the dish in silence.

"Steven, let me do it, you can go and play or walk in town if you want." She said timidly. "Just don't eat anything from this list. I almost forgot." She said remembering his new diet.

He nodded his head in agreement and left the room, calling that he was going for a walk. After he was gone Pearl found Amethyst laying on the couch looking completely defeated.

"Argh, this sucks!" She said covering her face with her hands.

"Yeah. This new turn of events ishard, but I guess this was just random occurrence." She concluded.

"Are you sure, P?" Amethyst asked turning and supporting herself by the elbows.

"Oh sure. It's not like every person in Beach City is going to die soon."

In school Connie was completely distracted. What was normally was an entertaining Physics class with Professor Flores was just boring today. It resulted in a long, boring theory reading that proved challenging to stay awake. At the front of the class there were a couple of kids who must have given up and fell asleep. To her left, two rows away from her there was a boy who could not stop looking at her.

Eric had given up on Connie sometime ago. He knew that boySteven was not only her best friend, but probably sooner or later he would be Connie's boyfriend. Sighing he just tried to put his mind on class while still glancing in Connie's directionShe looks really good with her new haircut. After a while the class was simply too much. He grabbed a book and laid his head on it, facing Connie. Bit by bit he stopped hearing the teacher and his eyes began to nearly droop. Suddenly he heard Connie's voice and he opened his eyes. Looking at Connie he saw that she had her hand raised.

"Teacher, may I go to the restroom?" Connie asked.

"Sure, but come back soon" the teacher said with a smile.

As Connie stood up she looked Eric in the eye and with her eyes signaled to the door. Then she smiled at him. Eric was completely confused by this. Did Connie just give me some kind of signal? As Connie made her way to the door she then looked back to him one last time and again signaled him with her eyes "Come with me". Eric sat there confused for what felt like an hour but was only about a minute. Then he smiled and decided to see if it was what he thought. Raising his hand, he asked the same question to the teacher. After he got out of the classroom he turned and saw Connie at the end of the hallway signaling her finger over her mouth to keep quiet. He followed her. She was going out of the school. As soon as he got out of school he saw the beachand Connie's shoes. He wondered what it meant when he saw the now had barefeet. Connie, laughing and signing him to follow her. He began to run towards herand as soon as he caught up her at the edge of the sea she stopped and turned.

"Let's swim." Said Connie with coy smile.

"But Conniewe don't have swimming suits and…" He stopped when he saw that Connie was beginning to open her pants and turned away. This is too good to be true. She wants to skinny dip?He shook his head, turned and then he saw the proof. There in a pile were Connie's clothes and that sealed the deal. He undressed and entered the water where he saw Connie swimming meters from him. He swam to her and suddenly Connie turned floating and smiled to him. She submerged and Eric waitedand waited. Getting worried Eric turned himself to search for her and discovered that there was no land. He was in the middle of the ocean. Time passed and he began to getting anxious. Then he saw something under him. It looked like a stain in water but was coming from under him. The spot extended under him and finally surface enough to see it. It had a metallic smell to it. He screamed when realization hit him. It's blood! Swimming with all his might to get as far from the blood in the sea as possible. He soon stopped when he saw other stain in front of him. Quickly he changed course but the stain was surrounding him. He was so panicked that he did not see the bubbles behind him and the figure that suddenly jumped out of the water, laughing. He just turned to see some metallic claws and a horrible charred face.

Connie was about to fall asleep when she heard noise from her left. Turning to her side she saw Eric trashing in his chair and then suddenly standing up. He began to cough blood in front of everyone. Every single kid either freaked out or looked horrified beyond words. Mr. Flores just covered his mouth with his hand and looked at the surreal scene. Suddenly Eric fell to his knees and blurted out in raspy voice a song.

One, two, Freddy's coming for you.

Three, four, Better lock your door

Five, six, grab a crucifix.

Seven, eight, Gonna stay up late.

Nine, ten, Never sleep again...

Connie's mother was shocked for what probably was one of the strangest deaths that she ever saw. There were no marks on the kid's body but his lungs and stomach were full of blood. It wasn't his blood though. After hearing the news, she had gone to pick Connie up from school. She looked at her child, seeing the blood stains on her shoes and made her decision For the good of her mental health she would prepare Connie'sclothes and let her stay the weekend at Steven's house.

"Connie, are you ok?" Priyanka asked her daughter; waiting and dreading the answer.

"What did that song mean?" Connie said absently to herself.

"Song?" Her mother asked confused.

"Oh, mom sorry what did you say?" Connie said

"I wanted to know, well if you are ok?" She said finally.

"Well I…I don't know. It was so weird and that weird song." She said distressed.

"Did he say something?" Priyanka asked now curious. Maybe there was the key to this.

"It sounded like a rhyme to jump rope. One, two, Freddy's coming for you" Connie intoned.

"Do you know a Fred in class?" she asked.

"No one in class is called Fred, Mom." Connie said frustrated. "That is what it makes it so weird. All the kids from school were talking about it. Even the older kids" With a sigh Connie went back to thinking in silence. Whoever this Freddy was now every single kid in school knew of him.
