Chapter Nine: A Day Out
"Just tell me what happened." Angela pleaded becoming worried for her friend.
"Quit asking me! I don't want to talk about it. I told you everything else, just drop it!" Kali was becoming frustrated.
"Alright… but if you need someone to talk to you know I'm always here for you…" She wrapped an arm around Kali and sniffed her hair. "Dude you smell awful."
"I know… I'll take a shower when I get home. So did you find anything helpful on Hypnocil?" Kali asked trying to change to subject off of her.
"Yeah I did actually... In 1986 a doctor from Springwood, which is now known as Groveburg, was the one who came up with Hypnocil after Freddy had killed her three children. Since then they've come up with all different kinds of Hypnocil ranging from pill form that you have to take every day all the way to a shot that they mix in with vaccinations and other things." Angela explained pulling several pieces of paper out of her back pack and handing them to Kali.
"That's really crazy… I mean I don't blame them for doing what they did to stop him, but administering it to people without them knowing is just wrong…" Kali looked over the papers and read one aloud. "Test subject Zero, obtained from her mother at age twelve. She is directly linked to the Demon by blood relation. All testing on subject were ceased once the six-month Hypnocil proved to be successful in May of nineteen ninety. Subject is to remain locked up and kept on Hypnocil until further notice… Ang… that's got to be Samantha!"
"That's what I figured after you told me what Freddy had said about her. I also figured out that the lab they do all the testing in is located somewhere outside of Groveburg and Elm Street was changed to Township Drive. I wonder if she's still there…" Angela asked looking sadly at Kali who was thinking the same thing.
"This is just awful. I bet Freddy would love to massacre everyone there, burn that place to the ground, get rid of all the Hypnocil… and find Samantha..." Angela trailed off and Kali looked at her friend afraid.
"So many people would die. He'd be out of control." Kali said firmly and handed the papers back to Angela.
"What's wrong with you today? Isn't this what you wanted? To help Freddy? What did he do to you? Please you're scaring me… this isn't like you." Angela stared at her waiting for a response.
"You haven't had to sit and watch him kill right in front of you. It's not even that that bothers me because they deserved to die, but he wants to kill everyone at our school, including you!" Kali hugged her knees to her chest with tears welling in her eyes.
"Hey relax, he can't get anyone unless you bring them to him. So don't worry about it." Angela attempted to comfort her.
"You don't get it. He'll find a way to make me do it!" She sobbed into her hands.
"But how would he… Oh…" Angela finally understood and Kali looked up at her wiping her tears away. "What are you going to do?"
"Stay awake for as long as I can." She sighed.
"You could always take the Hypnocil." Angela suggested.
"No that'll just piss him off. I'll be ok. I'll just have to keep bringing him kids. But not tonight, I need a break from him." Kali explained tucking her hair behind her ears.
"You need a night out. Tomorrow me, you, Jeremy, Andy, and Wesley are all going to hang out and have fun. Ok?" Angela promised.
"Wait, Andy and Wesley? Are you sure that's a good idea?" Kali asked looking at Angela strangely.
"It'll be fine, plus Andy is the one who invited Wes in the first place. I think he just wants you to be happy." Angela smiled at her.
"Good… it'll be nice to hang out with everyone. Get Freddy off my mind for a while… Hey did anyone at school say anything about Evan or Julia?" Kali asked curiously.
"Yeah, it was all over the news actually. Gwen and Mia were crying all day and had to be sent home early. No one else seemed as affected as Gwen and Mia. Not even Monica…" Angela explained.
"Wow she must've only been their friends for the drama then…" She said not at all surprised.
"Yeah… Ok, Kali I love you, but seriously, you should go home and shower. You reek." Angela wrinkled her nose smelling Kali's hair again.
"Sorry… as creepy as it sounds I'm already used to the smell." Kali shuddered. "What in the hell is wrong with me?"
"You lust for a dream demon that likes to sexually torture you so you'll bring him more victims…" Angela smiled at her and Kali couldn't help but weakly smile back.
"Ok I'll go home and shower then. I'll meet you here tomorrow morning." Kali slid to the floor off the bed and put her shoes on. Angela walked her out to her car and gave her a hug goodbye. When Kali got home she rushed to the bathroom and jumped in the shower before her Mom even knew she was home. She felt a hundred times better after she showered. She brushed her teeth three times making her gums bleed. She wanted to make sure she got every bit of him out of her.
Looking in the mirror she noticed the bump on her head wasn't as big as it was the day before, but it was a dark purple now. Once she was dressed her Mom called her into the kitchen for dinner. She frowned at the dark bruise on Kali's head.
"Why are those girls so rotten to you? It's not your fault that Evan chose you." She shook her head as she set a plate of spaghetti in front of Kali. As Kali took her first bite the side door opened and Paige walked in.
"Hi, you make enough for a third person?" She smiled setting her bag next to the door.
"Of course sweetie. You came just in time. There's plenty left in the pot." Kali's Mom smiled and grabbed an extra plate out of the cabinet and handed it to her.
"Wow Kal your head looks like it hurts." Paige made a pained face as she filled her plate.
"Thanks." Kali replied spinning her spaghetti on her fork. The three all sat and ate in silence until Paige spoke. "So what time is the funeral on Saturday?"
"It'll be at eight at the Glendale funeral home." Kali's Mother replied solemnly.
"Ok, I'll be there…" Paige barely looked up from her plate obviously feeling bad for bringing it up.
"So where should we all go on vacation after I graduate?" Kali asked changing the subject. The rest of the meal they happily discussed places to go for their family vacation. Luckily their Grandma left them a bunch of timeshares in Mexico and California. They all finally decided on California by the time they had finished eating and putting the dishes away. Kali and Paige gave their Mom a hug and she left for work.
"I'm so stupid I shouldn't have brought up the funeral… is she ok?" Paige asked with a worried look.
"She seems to be ok. Hasn't said much about it since it happened, but I guess she has work to help distract her." She explained fidgeting with her arm warmer.
"Well whatever reason they died… I honestly think it was for the best… I mean after your dad died Trudy just went from bad to worse and Cindy…" Paige made an annoyed face. "… She was just going to end up being a spoiled little brat."
"I thought I was the only one that thought that… well besides Ang." She smiled up at her.
"Well I think things will be better now. I mean I know Trudy was leaving but Cindy would have turned into a nightmare." Kali nodded in agreement as Paige dug through her purse and pulled something out of it.
"So… wanna go get some new movies to add to your ever-growing horror movie collection? I'll buy?" She waved a few twenty-dollar bills in her face grinning and doing a little dance in front of her.
"Um sure… if you promise to stop dancing around." Kali smiled at her.
"Haha sorry I can't help it, I love pay day! And now that I have two jobs I have all this extra money to spend on my favorite sister!" She grinned big and put an arm around Kali.
"Two jobs? I didn't even know you had one." Kali raised an eyebrow at her.
"I coach cheer at my school and now I work at the sub place across the street from the movie theatre too. My friend got me a job there. I don't really like it but its extra money for now. You should get a job there too!" She squeezed Kali and she squeaked.
"Kali needs to breathe…" Paige released her.
"Sorry you're so small, and I've got super cheerleader strength." She shrugged her shoulders. "But you really should get a job there. I'm sure they're going to fire this lazy pot head guy real soon anyways."
"That's a good idea. It'd be nice to have some money for myself. I feel bad still getting lunch money from Mom every week like a stupid little middle schooler." Kali explained as they walked out the door together.
"Well I work tomorrow afternoon if you want to come by and fill out an application and my boss should be there." Paige explained unlocking her truck and throwing her large purse in before her.
"Ok will do, plus that way I can make fun of you in an apron." She winked at her.
"Don't worry I'll spit in your food." Paige giggled and Kali joined in. After they both downed a vente Starbucks, bought a four pack of red bulls, and found six movies they both wanted before heading home. They were both extremely hyper and Paige thought it would be fun to have a sister slumber party so they sat out on the couch and watched their new movies while Paige gave Kali a makeover.
Paige insisted on the makeover since she was going to hang out with Wesley tomorrow. Kali was thankful for the coffee and energy drinks dreading falling asleep. Halfway through their first movie Paige had convinced Kali that she needed to dye her hair and she just so happened to have some hidden within the bowels of her giant purse. Paige refused to let her know what color it was but she let her do it anyways.
Once their third movie had started Kali's hair hand finally dried from rinsing out the dye and she inspected it in the mirror. It was a dark red. She really liked it and thanked Paige. By the end of their third movie her fingers and toes were all painted black, since Paige knew Kali wouldn't wear any other color. When they finished their fourth movie Paige had fallen asleep on the couch. Kali didn't want to wake her so she put a blanket over her and cleaned up all her makeover supplies and returned them to the depths of her purse. She turned off all the lights and took the two remaining red bulls and movies with her to her room.
Kali began watching one of the remaining two movies, Dark Ride. Halfway through her eyes started getting heavy and she could've swore she heard Freddy whispering her name. She shook herself and downed another red bull and grabbed last year's yearbook off of the shelf and opened it.
If she had to bring Freddy more souls she would at least be prepared by knowing who she'd bring him. She searched the pages trying to find the people that no one would really notice was gone figuring it be best to start out with them. Once she made a mental note of which ones she was going to start with she looked up at the clock. It was only a quarter till six. Her Mom would be home soon.
Some sun had filtered through the blinds in her window and was reflecting off of her unfinished metal glove that still sat in her windowsill from the other night. She went to go and pick it up, but as she reached her hand towards it she thought she saw it move. After staring at it for a moment she quickly picked it up and put it on. Turning it back and forth running her free hand over it, it suddenly had blades attached to it. She shook her head and they vanished.
Placing the glove on her nightstand she downed her last red bull and decided to get dressed. Her pants were black with red seams and red straps that matched her red and black Emily the Strange T-Shirt. She wore a red and black striped arm warmer over her scars. Grabbing a hair tie she loosely put her hair up leaving a few loose strands in the front.
The energy drinks had made her jittery without any food to balance them out and she decided she'd make breakfast for herself. When she went into the living room Paige had gone back to her room. Kali was almost finished eating her waffles when her Mom returned from work and she smiled at her and sniffed the air.
"Did you make coffee?" She asked surprised. Kali nodded unable to answer through her mouth full of waffles. "I love that smell. Did you get any sleep honey? You look tired."
"Me and Paige stayed up pretty late." Kali explained and sipped at her coffee.
"She always loves to make you over. I love what she did to your hair." Her Mom smiled. "Well have fun at school. I'm beat from work. See you later." She hurried off to her bedroom.
"Goodnight." Kali said after her then put her dishes in the sink. She finished her coffee and brushed her teeth then headed out the door and drove to Angela's house.
Angela's Mom opened the front door for her when she got there.
"His Mrs. Santsaver, is Angela awake yet?" Kali asked already knowing the answer.
"No, but you can try to wake her up." She laughed closing the door behind her.
"I'll just hangout until she does. Or I'll just sit on her." Kali joked.
"Well you have fun with that. I was just leaving actually. Today is that senior ditch day, huh?" She asked grabbing her car keys off their holder on the kitchen wall.
"Yep. We're all going to hangout today." Kali replied.
"You two have fun, I'll take Angela's car and leave you all the van to use today. I'll see you later dear." She waved goodbye as she left out the front door.
After playing video games for an hour on Angela's floor she finally stirred in her bed. It took her almost an hour to get ready and functional. At nine the doorbell rang and Angela quickly ran to get it. It was Jeremy and he had picked up Andy, and Wesley.
"You guys ready to hang out all day and get sick of each other?" Jeremy joked holding his arms out to Angela who jumped into them.
"That's not funny, we'll never get sick of each other." She kissed him on the lips and the others watched them awkwardly. Andy cleared his throat and joined Kali sitting at the table. After much debating they all finally decided to go to the mall. Everyone fit nicely into Mrs. Santsaver's Van. Once they were all out in the sun everyone commented on Kali's hair making her blush. Angela let Jeremy drive and she sat in the passenger seat. Andy sat in the middle by himself and Kali and Wesley sat together in the back.
"So how are you?" Wesley took her hand in his between them on the seat.
"I'm ok just kind of tired." She replied entwining her fingers with his.
"I heard about what happened to your sisters. Is Paige and your Mom doing ok?" Wesley asked staring into her.
"Yeah they're handling it pretty good. We're all going to go on a little family vacation just the three of us once school is out." Kali explained.
"Hey, did you hear about Evan and Julia?" Andy had turned around and was hanging over the back of the seat.
"Yeah Ang told me about it." Kali attempted to sound sad.
"They said they were killed in their sleep. But they were totally butchered. I wonder who did it." His eyes ran over Kali and Wesley's hands entwined on the seat and smiled then quickly turned back around.
"Ok who let Andy have coffee?" Kali asked aloud.
"Me!" Jeremy gloated from the front seat and Angela hit him in the arm.
"Great now we have to deal with hyper Andy all morning." Angela made a face at him.
"It was only a grande… double shot…" Andy grinned a toothy grin at Angela.
"Won't this be fun?" Wesley smiled at Kali who raised an eyebrow at him and nudged him in the side.
When they got to the mall they started searching through all their favorite stores. After a few hours Angela had somehow convinced Jeremy to buy her a new purse and Andy and Kali had both bought new pants from hot topic.
"I can't believe you both spent fifty dollars on one pair of pants." Wesley said stealing the receipt from Kali's hand.
"But they're sexy pants." Andy replied hugging his hot topic bag making Wesley roll his eyes.
"I need some coffee." Kali yawned leaning on Wesley's shoulder.
"You look like you need a nap." Wesley suggested and Kali and Angela's eyes went wide.
"No thanks. I'll pass on that. Coffee is better." Kali replied quickly and Angela nodded in agreement.
"Ok… coffee it is." Wesley eyed her strangely.
"We're kinda hungry too." Jeremy admitted.
"Kali you still want to go by Quizno's and get an application from Paige?" Angela asked clinging onto Jeremy's arm.
"Yeah, and we can make fun of her while she makes us food." Kali smiled.
"Alright I'll go get Kali and Me some Starbucks and you all bring the van around to pick me up." Andy said and quickly took off in the direction of the Starbucks. They all tried to call after him but he kept on walking.
"Why is he so crazy today?" Wesley asked pulling Kali close once he was out of sight.
"He doesn't get out much anymore." Angela replied as she emptied the contents of her old purse into her new one while they walked. Wesley nodded and the four of them walked to the van. Kali and Wesley slid into the backseat together as Jeremy and Angela were having a tickle fight in the front seat.
"History class is so boring without you. I have to deal with these two the whole time." Wesley joked motioning towards the front of the car and Kali smiled at him.
"I miss you too. Staying at the bookstore and Angela's house all day by myself isn't the funnest. I'm just glad we only have one week of school left." She rested her head on his shoulder. Angela and Jeremy were now making out in the front seat. Kali realized for the first time that morning that her and Wesley were finally alone.
"Once school is out we really need to hang out more." Wesley smiled shyly and leaned into Kali gently turning her face towards his. Kali could feel her heart skip a beat as he pulled her into a kiss.
"Aww." Angela cooed from the front seat and Jeremy joined in. Wesley pulled Kali deeper into kiss sending a wave of heat through her. When he pulled away from the kiss Kali had to catch her breath. Angela giggled at them as Jeremy started the van.
"Wow Wes you two aren't even dating yet and you're already taking her breath away." Jeremy laughed at his own joke.
"Actually we are." Wesley said all matter of factly.
"Actually we are, what?" Kali asked still dazed from the kiss.
"Together, officially." He answered smiling.
"Since when?" She was confused yet hopeful.
"Since now." He pulled her close and kissed her on the forehead.
"Really?" She asked her eyes lighting up.
"Yes, I claim you and no one else can have you." He hugged her tighter and she rested her head on his shoulder.
"No one else in this world." Angela added flashing Kali a glance telling her they'd definitely have a talk about it later. Wesley shrugged and wrapped his arm around Kali's shoulders. The van came to a stop and Andy jumped in.
"Finally! Took you long enough!" He complained looking at Kali winking as he handed her a frappuccino.
"Sorry we got distracted." Angela smiled at Jeremy.
"I wasn't talking to you." Andy replied gesturing towards Kali and Wesley. Kali smiled back at him feeling a little guilty knowing that he still secretly liked her. At least he wanted her to be happy.
When they got to Paige's work Kali and Andy had both already downed their coffees. Andy and Jeremy argued about high school clichés while Wesley and Angela looked at the menu. Kali sat at a table with Paige filling out an application.
Kali just downed her coffee on the way there but she struggled to keep her eyes open as she finished filling out the paper in front of her. Looking over towards Wesley her vision was blurring and she suddenly saw Freddy standing behind him. She shook herself blinking several times and he was gone.
"Kali are you ok?" Paige asked taking her finished application from her.
"Yeah just tired." Kali yawned.
"Ok well my boss had to leave early today but I'll give her your application and hopefully she'll hire you." She motioned towards the shaggy looking guy standing behind the counter who was playing his game boy.
"For your sake I hope so too." Kali patted her on the shoulder then leaned on her. "Dude you smell like onions and toast."
"I know… now are you all going to eat or what?" Paige asked aloud since they were the only ones in the store at the moment. All three boys pushed and shoved each other to be the first in line.
"You guys are such dweebs." Angela shouted at them and dragged Kali with her to the side so no one could hear them talk. "Dude so what are you going to do?"
"I think after we eat I'm going to get some sleep, because I figure if I sleep during the day I'm sure that barely anyone will be asleep getting me off the hook for now." Kali explained leaning on the wall with one eye open. Angela grabbed her by the shoulders and shook her making her stand up straight and open both eyes.
"Ok that's a good plan but what if he…" She stopped short not wanting to say it out loud.
"I'll be ok, I think… I mean so long as I can wake up and have you all here I'll be fine. Especially now…" Kali smiled looking over at Wesley who motioned for her to join them.
"Ok, just be careful." Angela warned and they joined the others. After everyone had eaten they all returned back to Angela's house. The whole ride there Kali struggled to keep her eyes open and every few minutes she could faintly hear Freddy calling her name.
"I don't think she's ok to drive home." Andy poked Kali in the face and she lazily swatted his hand away. "You know if you go long enough without sleep they can declare you legally drunk?" Everyone gave him a weird look.
"You are so weird…" Jeremy teased.
"Yeah well you're a dumb jock head." Andy smiled back at him.
"Hey he's not dumb." Angela whined going through Kali's pockets as she sat in Wesley's lap on the couch. "Found em!" She pulled Kali's car keys out of one of the large pockets on the side of her pants.
"I'll take those." Wesley took them from Angela and pulled Kali to her feet. "I'll take her back to my place so she can take a nap before having to drive home."
"Yeah sure, nap…" Andy teased and Kali stuck her tongue out at him. She was way past tired, she was exhausted and kept drifting in and out of consciousness.
"Just give me some coffee. I'll be fine." Kali rested her head on Wesley's shoulder then shook herself and stood up straight. "See." She struggled to hold both eyes open.
"I don't think so. You need to get some sleep." Wesley led her in the direction of the door.
"Ok fine. But don't let me fall asleep until we get to your house." Kali wasn't looking forward to dealing with Freddy but she'd rather deal with him all at once instead of being interrupted.
"Ok…" Wesley said eyeing her oddly.
"You two have fun." Jeremy winked and wrapped his arms around Angela.
"Um… can I have a ride home, please?" Andy asked making a disgusted face at Jeremy and Angela's public displays of affection.
"Of course." Wesley laughed and they all said their goodbyes.
"Be careful!" Angela yelled after them, Kali knew she was talking to her and nodded as they disappeared out the front door. Wesley drove and Andy sat up front with him and Kali sat in the back alone.
Andy and Wesley talked about their plans for college and Kali did her best to focus on their conversation to try and keep herself awake. After a few moments their voices began to fade and she could hear Freddy laughing in the distance. She almost fell asleep when the car came to a stop making her head fall forward.
"Thanks again for the ride. I couldn't take any more PDA from those two." Andy made a disgusted face. "Go get some sleep Kali." Kali waved goodbye to Andy and he closed the car door.
"You almost let me fall asleep!" She whined as she crawled into the front passenger seat and put on her seat belt.
"Why does it matter? Sleep is sleep." Wesley looked back at her and smiled. He leaned over and kissed her on the head. "You're so strange sometimes."
Kali turned up the music the rest of the drive to his house, which helped keep her awake until they got there. Wesley led her through the house with his arm around her waist. It was a nice house definitely bigger than hers. He led her through the large kitchen and down a flight of stairs.
"You have a basement? That's so cool. Basements are so rare here. Your parents must be rich." Kali struggled to keep her balance as he led her down.
"Yeah the whole basement is my room. I even have my own bathroom." Wesley explained and flipped a switch on the wall lighting up the whole room. It was four times the size of her room and he had a king sized bed placed in the middle of the far wall with a nightstand and shelves on either side. The wall closest to them had a big entertainment center with a big TV and several gaming platforms.
"Wow… I've known you for how long and I've never been over to your house before?" Kali was more awake now in awe of his massive room.
"It's not all that great. I like your room better. I like the random assortment of clutter you have." He smiled and pulled her close. "Now enough talking you need to get some sleep. It's only three so when would you like me to wake you up?" He sat on the bed and she sat next to him.
"I don't know… wake me up at five so I can get home in time to see my Mom before she leaves for work tonight." Kali answered crawling up to the pillows pulling him with her.
"Ok five it is." Wesley reached over her setting the alarm on the nightstand and pulled her close cuddling with her. Kali got comfortable and wrapped an arm around him. He smelled so good, like cologne and aftershave, a huge difference compared to what Freddy smelled like, she nuzzled into his chest taking in another deep breath through her nose. He kissed her lightly on the forehead and she looked up at him and pulled him into a kiss. She kissed him urgently not wanting to let him go, dreading falling asleep and facing Freddy.
He returned her passion and pulled her on top of him and held her close. After a few moments he suddenly stopped and pulled away from her. Kali was breathing heavily and could hear her heart beat in her ears. He smiled at her. "I would love to just…" He took in a deep breath. "… but you really need to get some sleep. Please? We have all the time in the world. We have all summer. Please for me?" He pleaded and Kali took in a few deep breaths to trying calm herself.
"Ok…" She finally agreed getting lost in his light blue eyes. He kissed her lightly on the lips and she curled up against him. She did her best to try and calm herself but the heat was still inside of her. Giving up she finally let sleep take her.
Freddy sat on the edge of his bed waiting, he was becoming impatient and wished she'd just fall asleep already. He'd been waiting for a few hours feeling every time she started to drift into sleep. Finally she appeared and sat up staring at him strangely. She reeked of cologne and he could feel the desire still raging inside of her that Wesley had stirred.
Kali reached out for him and he quickly disappeared knowing what she wanted and reappeared on top of her and slammed her into the headboard strangling her. He was furious once he searched her mind. "You've been avoiding me! And now you're with that blonde fucker! You are mine." He brought his blades close to her face ready to slice at her when she did something he wasn't expecting.
She was still riled up from Wesley and wanted release. As much as she hated Freddy for what he had done to her last time she still wanted him. She wanted release and knew she needed to distract Freddy, so as he held her in place by her throat and threatened her with his blades she ran both her hands up his inner thighs and massaged his groin causing him to slowly lower his blades.
Freddy moaned silently in the back of his throat. He quickly took both of her hands and pinned them to the headboard on either side of her head. He knew she was trying to distract him and it was almost working. As much as he wanted to hurt her and torture her he still wanted this. The idea of her trying to take control of him was intriguing and he wondered just how far she'd be willing to go. "Nice try princess, but you'll have to try a little harder than that."
Kali mustered up all her courage and let her desire completely take over. His hot breath on her face was intoxicating and she ripped a hand free of his grip. She pulled him close and kissed him hard. As she pulled away she sucked hard on his tongue making him moan in her mouth sending another wave of heat through her body. He released her other hand and with all her strength she pushed him onto his back and crawled up his body.
She was sitting on top of him now and her clothes had suddenly vanished and she smiled deviously back at him. He was painfully hard now and the things she was thinking were only making him want her even more. She closed her eyes for a moment and when she opened them again she looked rather pleased with herself.
Freddy felt her wetness slide along his hardened length making him realize that she had made his clothes including his glove disappear as well. He grabbed her hard by the waist and she dug her nails into his hands and he thrust into her making her cry out.
Kali knew she had him now and enjoyed riding him. She kissed up his scarred chest and bit his neck and kissed him hard making him moan beneath her and grip her hips with bruising force.
He was surprised he was enjoying it so much, and let her continue to ride him, but there was no way he was going let her get off that easily…
