Chapter Eleven: Funeral Revelations

Kali went and sat back on the cot leaning her back against the wall. The only sounds were her breathing and the roar of the furnace. She listened hard to see if she could hear Freddy or the two boys she had pulled in but soon gave up figuring he took them to the boiler room.

She finally decided to make use of her time alone and focused making a large stand up mirror appear before her. Looking into the mirror she concentrated and made some of her features change including her clothes. She experimented making herself look like Angela then Andy and also practiced making various objects appear and disappear. After a few minutes of that she made the mirror disappear and practiced appearing in different spots around the room and walked up the walls and across the ceiling.

No too long after that she became satisfied that she still knew how to do everything that Angela had taught her when the workbench caught her eye.

She walked over to the workbench on the far wall and examined all the tools and pieces of metal lying about. It looked like he had been making something but she couldn't tell what. Her eyes rested on a piece of cloth covering something at the end of the table sitting next to the small sharpening wheel.

She hesitantly approached it and picked up the piece of cloth revealing a glove that looked oddly familiar. Picking it up she realized that is was her glove, the unfinished one that was sitting in her room, only this one was finished with freshly sharpened blades similar to the ones Freddy had.

"Is this for me?" She asked aloud to herself.

"Actually it is." Freddy rasped behind her making her jump and she dropped the glove to the table. "The kids at your school sure are afraid of some strange things." He chuckled making his blades clink together. The sound made Kali look down at them and they were dripping with fresh blood. Freddy stepped towards her and she panicked and appeared at the other end of the room. Freddy growled and turned in her direction. Just before he made it to her she appeared back at the other end of the room only this time Freddy had his bladed hand around her throat.

"This is my world, you think you can get away from me, well think again." His grip tightened around her throat.

"I'm sorry." Kali choked out and Freddy lifted her off the ground. "I won't… do it again… Just don't… hurt me." She pleaded and he dropped her to the floor gasping for breath.

"You're lucky you're waking up in a few minutes." He warned her as he picked up her glove off the workbench. "You need to take this with you. I'll need it later." He held it out to her as she got to her feet and stared at him in disbelief.

"There's no way in hell I'm letting you kill people with my body!" She pointed her finger at him and he smiled devilishly back at her.

They both stood there for a moment staring into each other when Freddy suddenly grabbed onto Kali and pulled her up against him with her back to his chest. She tried to struggle out of his grip, but Freddy held firmly onto her scarred wrist and slid the glove onto her hand and folded her hands together tucking them into her chest making sure her hands weren't touching him. He held her like that and after a few seconds of holding her in that position she faded from the dream world.

Freddy let out a breath of relief and he let himself fall into the cot against the wall. He was actually afraid of doing that for fear that he would accidentally get himself pulled out with her. Luckily for him whoever made the rules of his dream realm made it so nothing could be pulled out of the dream world unless the person waking had both the palms of their hands on him or the object they were pulling out.

Getting pulled out wasn't that bad, all he had to do was fall asleep to get back, and he could even pull people back in with him, but he wasn't ready for that, at least not yet.

Kali sat up in bed and looked around in the darkness of her room. Quickly she hit the alarm off killing the droning beeping that filled her ears. She could still feel the glove on her hand and moved her fingers only to hear the clink of the metal joints on the glove. He actually forced her to pull it out with her, did that mean she could pull him out too?

She quickly jumped out of bed and turned the light on examining the glove. All its surfaces were shiny silver and the glove inside it was black. Kali stood in the middle of her room just staring blankly at the glove moving it at every which angle. Once she caught sight of the time she quickly took the glove off and threw it into her closet.

Getting dressed she put on a pair of nice black slacks and a long sleeved black shirt. It was probably going to be about ninety-five degrees out but she still refused to let her burn scars show. When she finished getting ready Paige was making coffee and she heard the garage door open indicating that their Mom was home.

Her Mom had brought Einstein Bagels and they all ate and drank their coffee in silence. Once her Mom was changed they headed to the funeral home. The funeral was basic and mainly her Mom's friends were there along with Paige's Mom. There were a few people there that seemed out of place and Kali guessed they had to of known Trudy by the piercings and tattoos that they had.

Kali was relieved and surprised when she saw Andy and Wesley there. They both sat behind her during the service. She knew they both wanted to talk to her about yesterday, but she really didn't want to deal with all of that. She really needed to talk to Angela about what had happened with the glove.

The service was over and everyone had left and Kali was left alone with her Mom, Paige, Andy, and Wesley.

"Well honey me and Paige are going to go home. I need to get some sleep before work and she has a competition to go to. I'm sure you want to go and be with your friends." Kali's Mom nodded towards Andy and Wesley as they approached her.

"Of course we'll bring her home later." Wesley put his hand on Kali's shoulder and she shrugged it off immediately regretting it as she saw the look of hurt in his eyes.

"No, I'll just go home with you Mom." Kali turned to Andy and Wesley. "Why don't you guys go home and change and then come and get me so I can change as well?" Kali suggested and Wesley gave a weak smile and nodded.

Kali quickly followed Paige and her Mom to the car and wracked her brain the whole way home trying to think of what to tell them without actually telling them everything. When they got home she gave her Mom a hug and a kiss before she disappeared into her bedroom. Kali started another pot of coffee and sat on Paige's bed as she got her cheer bag ready. She wished her good luck and walked her out the door.

Once Kali replaced the bandages on her back and got dressed she stood in the middle of her room glaring at the glove sitting on the shelf in the middle her closet. What could she tell them without letting them know that she was the one bringing Freddy his victims? Would they even believe her about him being real?

She reached for the phone to call Angela when she heard a car pull up in the driveway. Figures… She thought unhappily and poured herself a cup of coffee. There was a light knock on the front door and she was relieved to see Angela's face. Behind her were Andy and Wesley.

"Let me just finish my coffee and we can go." Kali let them in and they all sat at the kitchen table in silence staring blankly at each other as she sipped her coffee.

"Why don't we just go talk in your room…" Angela suggested and Kali's eyes went wide. The others saw her reaction and they stood from the table and headed down the hall. Kali quickly put her coffee cup down and raced down the hallway to her room.

"Ang…" Kali muttered under her breath as she rushed into her room and closed her closet doors to hide the glove just as everyone entered her room. Wesley eyed her strangely as she stood in front of her closet doors.

"You know I've been over here a few times, but still your room is the coolest." Wesley looked around at all the posters on her walls and ceiling slowing stepping towards her.

"Kali what's in your closet?" Andy asked suspiciously and Kali pushed her back against the closet doors as Angela stared into her eyes in a sad attempt to read her mind. Wesley put his hands on her shoulders.

"Kali whatever you're afraid of, whatever you're hiding you can trust us. Come on I know it's got to be bad, Ang won't even tell us anything please. We want to help you. Both of you." He tried to reassure her seeing the fear in her eyes as he started to pull her away from the closet.

"Kali…" Angela stared at the doors as if to look right though them. "…please tell me there isn't a dead body in your closet… or him…" She pleaded and both the boys looked at her in complete shock.

"Body?" Andy asked terrified and pushed past Kali opening her closet doors. Everyone stood back expecting the worse. Andy and Wesley stared in confusion, but Angela's eyes instantly rested on the glove.

"You… finished it?" Angela was confused as to why she would hide it from them. It seemed perfectly normal for her to have things like that. It was no different than her having her machete, or butcher knife hanging on the wall by her Jason and Michael posters. So why hide her glove?

"No…" Kali looked down. "He did… and he made me pull it out with me this morning… he said… he said he wanted me to have it… he said he'd need it later…" Angela soon realized what she meant and hugged her friend.

"I won't let him make you do that. We'll figure something out." Angela promised.

"Ok would one of you please explain what the hell is going on?" Andy walked over to Kali's bed and sat down staring at the glove from across the room. Kali took the glove in her hand and Wesley watched her with a look of concern.

"We can help. Please you can trust us. Kali why won't you trust me?" Wesley pleaded cupping her face with his hand. Kali's arms fell to her sides with the glove in hand. She felt awful.

"We do trust you… I just don't want you to get hurt." Kali explained as Angela took the glove from her hand and examined it closely as she closed the door to Kali's room.

"Who is he? Please dear God do not say Freddy." Andy practically whined obviously no longer afraid.

"Well it is. It's Freddy fucking Krueger. He's real." Angela explained slipping the glove on getting a scared look from Wesley who pulled Kali close. Andy rolled his eyes and placed his face in his hands.

"You two are obsessed. This is ridiculous. It's all in your heads. Why can't you be obsessed with normal things boy bands and video games?" Andy said firmly and laid back on the bed and stared up at the Pinhead poster above her bed then looked over to the Elm Street sign she had nailed above her Freddy poster.

"I knew you would act like this…" Kali slumped into Wesley who wrapped his arms around her. She felt so guilty being in his arms after what happened when she fell asleep at his house and did the things she had done with Freddy. At least nothing happened last night. There was no way either of them could ever know. Angela would be the only one to ever know about those kinds of things that happened between her and Freddy. She hoped it wouldn't happen again, but deep down she knew it would. It was inevitable.

"Just let them explain Andy… we need to know what's going on." Wesley's voice interrupted her thoughts. Angela gave Kali a look letting her know that she wouldn't say anything she didn't want her to. Kali nodded and sighed.

"You might want to sit down Wes." She suggested and he dragged a beanbag chair out of the corner and slumped into it. Kali sat in her computer chair and Angela sat next to Andy on the bed.

Kali and Angela explained everything leaving certain details out such as Trudy and Cindy and all the sexual torture he had put her through. Andy rolled his eyes and stared off into space the first few minutes but then began to pay attention when they mentioned him being with her at school. After all was said Andy stared at them in disbelief.

"He hurt you?" Wesley was angry and Kali stood from her chair and showed him the bruises on her wrist. "I will kill him." He was furious as Kali lifted her bandages to show him the slash marks.

"No you aren't going near him, and I'm not letting him go near any of you. It's my fault he's here I'll deal with." Kali promised sitting in Wesley's lap.

"So what the fuck are we supposed to do then? Just sit around and let him manipulate you into bringing him more victims until he gets bored and decides to kill you?" Andy stood from the bed and began to pace back and forth.

"We should have them take Hypnocil just in case." Angela suggested and Andy stopped in his tracks.

"Hell no I'm not taking some crazy government non dream pill." He leaned against the bed crossing his arms.

"He can't get to us anyways though right? You'd have to bring us into your dream?" Wesley asked wrapping his arms around her.

"Actually…" Angela began and Andy's head snapped in her direction along with Wesley's and Kali hung her head down knowing what she was about to say. "… He can take control of her body, he could get to us that way, and there is also the possibility that there is an Elm Street survivor or a kid of one out there he could get to and use."

Kali had almost forgotten that there was the possibility of an Elm Street survivor. She wondered if they would help them if there was one. Wesley's arms tightened around her making her feel safe and she leaned her head back on his shoulder.

"Oh that's real comforting. So, he could be here with Kali right now and we wouldn't even know it." Andy pointed an accusing finger at Kali.

"If he was here he'd make himself known, trust me." Kali tried to reassure him.

"It doesn't matter what any of you say, Kali you're staying at my house these next few nights so I can make sure nothing happens to you." Wesley said firmly.

"But what about your parents?" Kali asked partially afraid to fall asleep at his house again thinking about what happened last time.

"It'll be fine they're both gone on a business trip together and won't be back until graduation on Thursday." He explained and Andy and Angela both gave him strange looks then looked to each other.

"Your parents work together?" Angela asked confused.

"Yeah, what's so weird about that?" Wesley replied.

"It's just strange…" Andy said aloud shrugging his shoulders and Wesley rolled his eyes in response.

"So… what are we going to do today?" Kali asked trying to change the subject.

"Figure out how to beat this bastard." Wesley replied almost instantly.

"Do we have to do that today? It'd be nice to just have a lazy day. I'm sick of talking about it, sick of talking and thinking about him. I see him every time I close my eyes. We have a few days until your parents get back, please?" Kali begged. As much as she wanted to be rid of him she knew that no matter what they did he'd find a way to get to her, deep down she just knew.

"Alright lets all go hangout at my house then since I have the house to myself." Everyone nodded in agreement and Kali packed an overnight bag and left a note on the counter for her Mom to find when she woke up.

They played videogames until Angela got on the computer and started searching for the possible Elm Street Survivor after arguing with Kali about it for half an hour. Of course they found little to nothing to help them out. It was getting dark out and Wesley decided to order pizza for everyone and Jeremy came over to join them.

"Does he know?" Andy whispered to Kali who shrugged her shoulders. They all sat on the floor in front of the large TV in Wesley's room with the pizza boxes in the center of them all.

"Know what, about the whole Freddy thing? Ang told me about it yesterday." Jeremy replied biting into a slice of pepperoni pizza.

"And it doesn't bother you?" Wesley asked surprised.

"Well it's not like she has a choice. He can kill her whenever he wants. I'd do the same thing." He said putting an arm around Angela.

"I wouldn't… I'd just take the Hypnopill or whatever it's called and say fuck him." Wesley explained angrily.

"Hey…" Kali put her hand on his shoulder. "Trust me if it were that easy I would do it, but now he's too strong and I can't do anything about it."

"There's got to be something we can do. I don't like the thought of you being alone with him every time you fall asleep." Wesley shuddered and pulled Kali close. "Why don't you just not fall asleep tonight? I'll stay up with you, I promise." He looked into her eyes pleadingly but she looked away and saw Angela's worried expression.

"That's not a good idea. Unless your plan is to piss him off…" Angela explained as she poked at her slice of pizza.

"I just can't win can I?" Wesley asked looking into Kali's eyes once more making her feel guilty.

"Wes… trust me if it was an option I'd do it, I don't want to see him, but I have to or else he'll come after me, or worse, you and everyone else." Wesley smiled sadly back at her and tucked her hair behind her ear making her lean into his hand. She leaned in closer to him.

"Well…" Andy stretched. "…It's getting late and I should be getting home soon." He nudged Jeremy who got the hint.

"Yeah us too." Jeremy smiled at Angela who winked at Kali making her blush.

"I guess we'll see you guys around. Maybe we could all go to the movies tomorrow?" Angela suggested and Wesley nodded wrapping his arms around Kali from behind.

"We'll just let ourselves out." Andy tugged on Jeremy's sleeve and the three of them hurried up the steps. Once Wesley heard the front door close he quickly turned to Kali making her stomach turn into a nervous knot.

He cupped her chin in his hand and slowly turned her to face him. His warm blue eyes chasing away the butterflies in her stomach. Kali leaned in and he pulled her into a long passionate kiss. When he pulled away Kali had to catch her breath.

"I'm not going to let anything happen to you." Wesley looked into her eyes. "I promise."

"I know you want to help me but you can't protect me from him or my dreams." She put her hands on either side of his face. "I don't want you, Andy, or Angela getting hurt. So please don't go looking for me in your dreams. He will kill you…"

"I couldn't even if I wanted to. Never been real good with the whole dream control thing. I just kinda let my dreams play out the way they want. I don't even think I've ever had a nightmare except once or twice, but when I did they were pretty scary." He explained leading Kali to his bed.

"What were your nightmares about?" Kali asked sitting on the edge of the bed not quite ready for sleep yet.

"I don't remember. I was really little…" He sat on the bed next to her. "It is getting kind of late. If you want to go to sleep I'll stay up and watch you."

"No I'm not tired." She lied. "Let's watch a movie or something." She suggested fearing that Freddy would be mad at her for telling them about him.

"Ok. Go ahead and choose a movie I'm going to clean up our pizza mess real quick." He pointed to the left side of his entertainment center where there was a whole shelf of movies to choose from. She took her time to scan through each of the movie titles and finally decided to watch The Incredibles. It was harmless, no gore and had a happy ending. Wesley gave her a strange look as she handed him the DVD she had picked out.

"What?" She asked crawling to the top of the bed getting under the covers.

"Nothing it's just cute what movie you picked out." Kali rolled her eyes and got comfy as Wesley put the movie on and turned off the lights. He joined her under the covers and he wrapped her arms around her as the movie started. Kali felt her eyes becoming heavy halfway through the movie and Wesley stroking her hair wasn't making staying awake any easier. She finally gave up and her eyes finally shut pulling her into the darkness.

"Having fun with your boyfriend?" Freddy's voice rang in her ear. She quickly jolted up right finding herself lying in the cot from the night before. Freddy was kneeling by the cot where her head was resting and slowly got to his feet smiling to himself. She eyed him cautiously as he sat next to her. He grabbed her hard by the back of the head making her face him. Kali let out a small cry.

"So you told all your little friends about me did you? What good does that do? They can't even help you. No one can help you…" He turned into Wesley making Kali struggle in his vice of a grip. "Not even me." He said in Wesley's voice and pulled her into a rough kiss. His tongue demanded entry into her mouth but she wouldn't let him. She felt the cold metal of his blades rest on her neck and she reluctantly gave him entry into her mouth.

Kali was repulsed as he practically raped her mouth with his. He finally pulled away and Kali spit out the saliva in her mouth to the dirty floor. Freddy was himself again and he ran the back of one of his blades down her cheek. He was eyeing her up and down and she knew what he was thinking as she felt his hardness brush up against her. In a panic she pulled someone in and he narrowed his eyes at her.

"I wasn't even going to ask for one tonight… but if you insist…" He quickly released her and disappeared leaving her there on the cot. Kali regretted pulling someone in, but she really didn't want him to violate her again. She shuddered remembering what happened last time. Getting off the cot she went and sat at the workbench running her fingers over the various pieces of metal strewn about.

"See anything you like?" Freddy rasped behind her making her jump. He rested his bloodied blades on her shoulder and turned her around on the bench to face him. Kali's heart was racing now. Why was he back so soon? Why would he kill so fast?

"Now… where were we?" He leaned in close and licked her starting with her neck and ending just before her ear. Kali cringed and turned her face away from him. His free hand grabbed her hard by the chin and forced her to look at him. She closed her eyes and he let out a growl. His warm hand trailed from her chin and wrapped around her throat. Freddy dragged her off the bench and slammed her into the wall.

"Look at me!" He demanded and she slowly opened her eyes taking in a deep breath. She could tell he was mad his eyes were practically glowing. He pinned her to the wall by the throat with his forearm and placed his bladed hand on her head and stroked her hair with it. He pressed harder on her throat causing her vision to blur. Freddy had a look of determination on his face and pressed even harder making it hard for her to breath.

"Let me go!" She managed to choke out before the room began to darken around her. Her body fell limp and she felt herself being laid out on the cot before the darkness fully consumed her.
