Epilogue
When Karen opened her eyes she saw the light streaming in through her own window, and she immediately knew everything was right again. The dead wouldn't be dead; the evil would only live on in memory.
She got up and got ready for school, just the way she used to. She walked downstairs and her mother had her breakfast ready and on the table.
"Did you have a good time at the party last night honey?" Karen's mother asked.
"Yes mum, I had a great time!" Karen answered and began to eat her breakfast.
When she finished she threw her bag over her shoulder. Her mum was at the door and opened it for her.
"Thanks mum, bye!" Karen said, waving to her mother as she ran down her driveway to where Anna's car was waiting for her, as always.
"Hey Karen, hop in!" Anna greeted Karen.
"Hey Karen" Billy said from the backseat of the car.
Billy was usually given a ride to school by Anna, so Karen threw her bag in and hopped into the car, but before they could drive away they heard a familiar voice calling to them.
"Hey guys, wait up!" Mike yelled, running up the sidewalk and stopping next to the car, "can I have a ride?"
Anna agreed and he jumped into the backseat.
"Why thank you dah-ling" Mike said, putting on a prissy voice, "I need to get to the prom, I mustn't be late to have blood dropped on me!"
They all laughed as Anna started to drive forward. Karen turned around and punched Mike's arm playfully.
"You Carrie wannabee!" she said, and that sent them into laughter again.
When they got to school they all got out, Billy's school was right next door to the others', so he started to walk away.
But Karen noticed something unusual; there weren't any other people around the school, anywhere around the school. Normally there were hundreds of kids running around, talking to each other and waiting for another normal day at school. But there weren't any kids, none at all.
But of course there wasn't anything to worry about, maybe the kids had just all gone inside, maybe school had already started. None of them thought that the evil wasn't gone.
They all walked up to the front doors, thinking when they opened the doors they would see everyone at their lockers or walking into their classrooms. But when they pushed open the doors they were only greeted with an empty corridor. There were no sounds, no footsteps, no sounds of a lecturing, no normal school sounds. They unconsciously huddled closer together as they walked slowly into the empty corridor.
Then a few doors opened, and from each door came a single person, there were now 7 people in the corridor including Mike, Karen and Anna. The people moved to their lockers but they didn't open them, they just stood looking at them.
"Where is everybody?" Karen said aloud, and the people's heads snapped around to face the group huddled near the doors.
It was then that Karen realized something was very wrong, the people's faces were wet with blood, and in a few cases their faces had large, gaping wounds in them. Their bodies had more wounds in them, and in one case the person's insides were spilling out of cuts.
Karen immediately recognized this person as Josh Matthews.
They all stared, wide-eyed and terrified, at the people who were only seconds ago normal, the people who had died, the people who were consumed by evil.
Then the doors behind Karen, Anna and Mike slammed shut, and they spun around. Now they faced the evil that had ruined the people behind them's lives, the evil that had caused so many deaths.
The man that had slammed the doors stood there cockily, an evil grin on his face. One gloved hand on the door, and at the ends of the fingers of that glove were straight razors, knives, claws.
They faced Freddy Krueger.
