Chapter Thirteen: Party Time
The last two days of school for the seniors were half days and they passed rather quickly only consisting of yearbook passing around and giving out awards and having little pot lucks in each class. Kali stayed over at Wesley's both nights with her mother thinking that she was studying and getting things ready for graduation with Angela.
Angela discovered that you can still dream and pull others in with you when you're on Hypnocil. At least now they knew why the people of Groveburg had no idea that they were secretly being given Hypnocil.
Freddy had only demanded one person the past two nights and left Kali alone to dream whatever she pleased. He was only violent with her when he had read her mind about where she was staying the past few days and slammed her into a wall of hot pipes burning her back.
It was the morning before their graduation and she was sprawled out on her stomach across Wesley's bed as he treated her burns and put fresh ointment on her back.
"So are you going to the party after graduation with us?" Wesley asked as he gently pulled her shirt down. Kali sat up and gave him a glare. "I know you're paranoid that something is going to happened but you said yourself he hasn't been that bad lately. It'll be fine Kali. You need to have a normal night out."
"I know, I know, but what if he's planning something. There has to be a reason he's been acting like this." Kali sat at the edge of the bed and stretched as she put her shoes on.
"What if he's realized he just needs to be nicer to you to get what he wants?" Wesley suggested.
"I wish it were that simple. But you don't know him. He's manipulative and always gets his way no matter what. I know he's got to be planning something." Kali argued.
"Ok so say he is planning something. He can't do anything until you fall asleep again. So just don't fall asleep until after the party ok? It's going to be fine." Wesley tried to reassure her as he pulled her into his lap.
"Alright I'll go. But if anything happens…" Kali warned.
"Nothing will happen. And if it does you'll have me, Ang, Andy, and Jeremy there with you ok?" He kissed her on the forehead and she stood from his lap.
"Ok." She smiled back at him. "I'd better get home. Only have a few hours until graduation. I can't believe you let me sleep in so late." She whined and he winked at her.
"You were sleeping pretty peacefully so I figured I'd let you sleep." He picked up her bag and flung it over his shoulder. She rolled her eyes at him and he walked her out to her car and watched her drive off.
When she got home it was about one in the afternoon and Paige was sitting on the couch watching a re-run of America's Funniest Home Videos.
"Hey sis." Paige greeted her and smiled. "Are you hungry by any chance? There is nothing here to eat. Mom hasn't gone shopping since we're leaving tomorrow night. If you drive I'll pay. Kind of like a sisterly graduation lunch thing." She smiled at her rubbing her stomach.
"That sounds great! I'm starving. All there is left at Wes's is junk food. How about Macaroni Grill?" Kali suggested and Paige nodded happily.
They talked all through their meal. Kali told Paige about all the mysterious deaths that were happening at her school. Paige drilled her for details about her and Wesley and she finally caved and told her most of everything that had been going on between them. Paige complained about the lack of competent co-workers at her work which she referred to as 'sandwich hell'.
"Seriously you have no idea how much I can't wait to work with you. It's honestly the easiest job in the world but it's so horrible when you work with zombie, pot head, retards." Paige explained twirling her fork in her pasta.
"Don't worry I'll make it less irritating for ya." Kali laughed. The rest of the meal they made a list of things that they wanted to accomplish while on their little vacation.
When they got home Kali got ready for her graduation and made sure that Paige had the tickets for her and their Mom to sit in the reserved section. Their Mom was originally supposed to work until tomorrow night but she asked for a few favors so she could get a few hours off to go to her graduation. Kali packed her bag for their vacation so she wouldn't have to worry about it in the morning and headed for the school.
Kali got there two hours before the ceremony was supposed to start so they could hand out some last minute awards and get all the students organized alphabetically in boy, girl, boy, girl order. Everyone was shoved inside the small gymnasium. Luckily Andy was placed right next to her.
"I hate these stupid robes." Andy fidgeted with them. "Why do the boys have to wear the purple and the girls get silver? It doesn't make any sense!"
"They rotate it every year. Last year it was the opposite." Came a voice from the other side of Andy. To both their surprise it was Gwen. She smiled happily back at the both of them.
"Um… ok." Andy turned away from her to face Kali.
"Hey I know you guys are probably still mad at me about the whole Julia and Ethan thing but it's in the past. With the way things have been happening around here lately there is no point in hating each other over something stupid like that. Can we just be friends again, please?" She pleaded holding her hand out to Kali. Kali eyed her, her eyes resting on the band-aid across her nose. She finally took her hand and shook it. To her surprise Gwen pulled her into a hug making Andy take a step back from them.
"Oh I'm so glad that were friends again! To be honest I really missed you. I really don't know what had gotten into me and Mia following Julia like that."
"Ok Kali needs to breath." Kali wheezed and Gwen released her. Andy eyed Gwen suspiciously.
"What are you up to?" Andy accused.
"What are you talking about?" Gwen looked confused.
"Well it is kind of odd that you're suddenly acting as if everything that has happened was nothing. You and Mia gave me a fucking concussion!" Kali pointed to the faded bruise on her head.
"I know, and I'm sorry, but you got me back ok? You broke my nose." She replied all matter of factly. Kali huffed in annoyance and defeat.
"I suppose you're right. But if you do anything I'll break your jaw next time." Kali threatened and Gwen nodded looking afraid then bounced back into her cheery mood.
"So are you guys all going to the party?" She asked with enthusiasm that made Andy want to gag. The next hour passed too slowly for Andy and Kali's liking but they were filled in on what everyone else had been up to and Andy found out that Monica had a huge crush on him making him blush when he noticed her staring at him from a few rows in front of them.
Kali felt strange. Her head felt heavy and her clothes beneath her gown were beginning to stick to her with sweat. She held her head in her hands and Andy touched her shoulder lightly.
"What's wrong? Is it him?" He whispered so Gwen couldn't hear.
"I don't think so. It's just so damn hot in here and I'm nervous about going to the party." Kali explained fanning herself with her hat.
Freddy sat on his decrepit excuse for a couch and watched Kali through his cracked TV. Since he had gotten stronger he could use more of his powers to watch her. She sat talking to Andy and soon her wretched boyfriend snuck down from the top row to sit with them. They kept talking about the graduation party and trying to convince Kali that nothing bad was going to happen.
If she only knew. He thought darkly to himself as he experimentally tugged at her consciousness making her rest her head in her hands once more. Wesley looked at her concerned and handed her a five-hour energy.
"Ha like that'll stop me!" He laughed to himself as she quickly drank the whole thing. He tapped his blades impatiently as he watched the whole graduation ceremony taking mental notes on her friends. After what seemed like forever she finally stopped taking pictures with everyone and everyone met up in the parking lot and they all quickly shed their shiny gowns revealing their clothes they were wearing to the party. Every seemed to be rather dressed up for it except for Kali who wore her normal baggy pants, a T-shirt, and arm warmers.
Freddy couldn't help but chuckle to himself as he compared her to everyone else in their group. Everyone including Gwen, Mia, and Monica all squished themselves into Angela's Mom's Van.
They finally arrived at a large house in a rich looking neighborhood and Kali was the last to enter as she stood staring up at the house hesitantly. He could feel her fear as she was practically dragged inside by Angela. It took about thirty minutes for Kali to calm down. Every few minutes she'd walk past the large mirror hung in the front room and check herself to make sure that she was still herself. He laughed to himself as soon as Wesley caught on and dragged her into the other room away from the mirror.
He observed the other kids at the party. Just a bunch of half drunk seniors that had no idea what they wanted to do with their life or were afraid of what their parents had already picked out for them. After about an hour had passed Freddy could feel Kali getting closer as she wore herself out from worrying and being overly paranoid.
She finally sat down on a couch next to Wesley who pulled her close and made her rest her head on his shoulder. Her eyes closed for a second and Freddy almost had her when she jolted herself upright and jumped up and shook herself. Wesley stared after her as she rushed into the bathroom and splashed her face with some cold water.
As she left the bathroom she passed Andy and gave him a surprised look as he pinned Monica to the wall and began making out with her. She walked around them only to be greeted by Mia.
"Hey are you alright?" Mia asked concerned.
"Just sort of tired. Is there any soda or something with caffeine in it to help me stay awake?" She asked rubbing her temples.
"Um…" Mia thought for a moment then smiled back at Kali. "Actually I have some energy pills. They work great you'll be awake for hours I promise." She dug through her little purse and handed a little white pill to her and she drank it down with Mia's beer that she grabbed from her hand.
"Thanks." Kali smiled back at her.
"Hey what are friends for?" Mia smiled and giggled at Monica and Andy as she passed them.
Freddy stared at the screen furiously his eyes glowing red. He wasn't stupid, but Kali obviously was. Mia had given her speed.
"That little bitch!" He screamed ripping into the couch with his blades. He knew that within the next thirty minutes she'd be almost unreachable. She'd be too awake for him to get to her he wouldn't even be able to pull her into sleep once the drug took effect. Whatever he was going to do he had to act fast to put the rest of his plan in motion.
Kali didn't know exactly what Mia had given her, but she didn't care she was definitely feeling more awake. She spotted Wesley talking to Angela and Jeremy in the kitchen where everyone was flocking to the new keg that had just arrived.
"Wow it's crowded in here!" Kali shouted over the loud partiers around them.
"Yeah, hey I'll be right back got to move the keg outside so there's more room in here." Jeremy kissed Angela on the cheek and rushed off with a few other football players that were carrying more kegs.
"See isn't this fun!" Angela squeezed Kali by the shoulders and pointed to Andy who was now sitting on the couch with Monica in his lap conversing with several other people. "Even Andy is having fun!"
"Yeah but it's getting hot in here. Want to go outside?" Kali fanned herself suddenly becoming hot. She blamed it on the collective body heat and the hot weather. The back yard was about an acre having enough room for a pool, basketball court and had badminton net set up. Some were playing basketball and badminton and they were just now putting up the volleyball net in the pool.
"Oh I wish I brought my swim suit." Angela whined. Suddenly a wave of energy hit Kali along with another wave of heat. She shook her head and grabbed onto Angela for support as she began taking her shoes and socks off. "Kali what are you doing?"
"I'm going swimming. Who says you need a swim suit to swim?" She laughed and undid her pants revealing her pale legs and a pair of batman boxers. "Come on Ang." Kali tossed her pants into a pile on top of her shoes and began pulling Angela's shirt over her head.
"Kali… what are you doing?!" Angela hugged her chest as Kali threw her shirt to the side.
"Oh come on Ang we all know you have a sexy body now stop being so damn shy." Kali laughed as a few boys whistled from the pool making Angela's face turn red.
"Oh babe wait for me!" Jeremy yelled running towards them.
"I'm not swimming without my swim suit!" Ang screamed in protest as Jeremy quickly stripped down to his boxers and picked her up in his arms.
"Wait! Jeremy no!" Angela screamed as Jeremy jumped in bringing her with him. Kali laughed and dived in after them in just her tank top, boxers, and arm warmers. When Kali resurfaced she took in a big breath of air. The pool felt so much cooler than it was outside. There was a laugh and Kali looked up to see Andy, Monica, and Wesley getting ready to join them.
"Finally decided to have some fun?" Wesley teased splashing Kali as he did a cannon ball right next to her and pulled her under kissing her underwater. She gasped for breath when she came up.
"Don't do that! Trying to drown me?" She joked splashing him in the face as he gave her a worried look.
"Kali you're really warm. Are you ok?" He asked lowering his voice.
"What are you talking about I'm fine! It's just hot out here. Don't you think I'm smart enough to know if Freddy was here?!" She screamed over the splashes making Andy and Jeremy stop dunking Angela and Monica. They all gave her a look of fear except Monica who looked genuinely confused.
"What? I'm fine." Kali tilted her head from side to side and jumped up and down. "See?" Angela grabbed her by the arm and then instantly backed away.
"Kali. You are really warm." Angela said concerned.
"You guys I'm fine. It's just hot out here. It's probably just that energy pill that Mia gave me that's making me so warm." Kali smiled and took off her arm warmers and her tank top leaving her in her bra and boxers revealing the faded bite mark on her shoulder along with other bruises and marks left by Freddy over the past week. Luckily everyone else around them was too drunk to notice and her friends already knew about most of them.
"Ok something is definitely wrong here she never takes those off." Jeremy said taking a step back from her eyeing her nervously his eyes locked on her scarred arm.
"Wait, did you say Mia gave you a pill?" Monica asked sounding concerned.
"Yeah so?" Kali said absent-mindedly pushing the volleyball to the bottom of the pool with her feet.
"Uh-oh." Monica said staring at Kali.
"What uh-oh?" Andy and Wesley asked in unison.
"It's not exactly an energy pill… its speed…" Monica looked solemnly at Andy.
"What?" Kali looked to her friends. "I don't want to." She mumbled to herself and shook her head moving her feet off the volleyball taking a step back letting it pop out of the water catching it in mid air. "I want to play volleyball!" She jumped in the air and hit the ball over the net and Gwen hit it back to her and others began to join. Suddenly two pairs of hands grabbed Kali by her arms and began dragging her to the steps of the pool.
"Hey! No… It's too hot outside the water!" Kali grabbed onto the metal rail attempting to get away from Andy and Wesley's grip. Both the boys released her at the same time hissing and whining putting their hands into the cool pool water.
"What happened?" Jeremy asked blocking Kali from jumping back into the pool.
"She burned us…" Andy said examining his hands.
"What are you guys talking about? You're all more paranoid than I am." Kali laughed attempting to get around Jeremy. Andy wrapped at towel around Kali and took a hold of her again through the towel afraid of getting burned again. They wrapped another towel around her making her groan and whine. Jeremy wrapped both arms around her torso and picked her up effortlessly.
"Where should we put her?" He asked walking away from the pool.
"Follow me." Wesley motioned. Angela stayed with Monica and they searched for Mia. Kali struggled against Jeremy's grip getting nowhere in the process and she finally gave up. They set her on her feet inside in front of the large mirror and she looked at her reflection and gasped along with everyone else as Freddy's reflection stared back at them.
"Oh…" Kali put her hand to her face but Freddy's reflection didn't follow. "Ok that's not good… you can all see him can't you?" She said looking around making sure they were the only ones in the room. Luckily everyone had migrated to the backyard. Freddy stared back at them and eyed Kali angrily.
"You stupid little bitch! So desperate to stay away from me you take pills from anyone so long as they say they'll keep you awake!" He rasped and held his bladed hand out and Kali's hands went to her throat and she began choking herself.
"Leave her alone!" Wesley demanded and her hands fell to her sides and she fell to her knees.
"Never." Freddy chuckled and Kali looked up at him.
"Just do it. I know you'll do it anyways but I figure it won't be so bad if I cooperate." Kali got to her feet and Angela walked into the room.
"So what… holy shit!" Angela screamed catching sight of Freddy in the mirror where Kali's reflection should be.
"Kali what are you talking about?" Andy asked glaring at Freddy.
"He's going to burn it out of my system. That's what he was trying to do. Might as well let him finish." Kali explained leaning on the frame of the mirror looking Freddy directly in the eyes.
"What are you insane? That could kill you! You were hot enough to burn us!" Andy yelled but Kali wasn't listening she seemed to be having a silent conversation with Freddy. Kali blinked and her eyes became red and bloodshot and Freddy's reflection now mimicked hers.
"She just… let him take over?" Angela stared in disbelief.
"You seem surprised." Kali rasped in Freddy's voice as she walked past them. "I have more control over her than any of you know about. You really think she tells you everything that happens between us?" He growled at Wesley and walked down the hallway and into an empty bedroom.
"Kali no!" Wesley rushed after her and the door was slammed in his face. He stood there in shock and stared blankly at the door.
Kali wasn't entirely sure what was going on. She could hear Wesley and Freddy arguing and then the heat encompassed her making her completely lose consciousness. The next thing she knew she was lying in a bed with Wesley sitting by her side holding her hand.
"Is he gone?" She asked still feeling rather warm.
"Yeah he's gone for now…" He replied trailing off.
"What happened? Do he do anything to you guys?" She asked concerned attempting to sit up until her head started throbbing.
"No… but Kali… you just let him take over… he could have used you to kill us! How could you give yourself to him so willingly?!" He screamed looking away from her.
"I knew exactly what he was going to do. He knows I won't cooperate if he hurts any of you." Kali explained.
"That's not the point! He could have hurt you, even killed you! But you didn't even fight him you just let him have you!" He got up off the bed and Kali looked up at him in shock. He began laughing maniacally and he shifted into Freddy.
"You're an ass hole!" Kali screamed glaring at him.
"Why thank you." He smirked and sat back on the bed pulling Kali close to him. "Now… I believe someone owes me a thank you." He pulled her into a kiss and she bit his lip only making him pull her on top of him. She struggled against him until she finally gave in and kissed him back. Freddy chuckled as he pulled away from her and licked his lips.
"Am I still at the party?" She asked wiping his taste off her lips trying her best to ignore the smug look on his face. That's when she looked down to realize that she was still in only a pair of boxers and her bra. She huffed angrily at him. "Are you just going to sit there and stare at me or are you going to answer me? Where am I and how long have I been out?" She demanded.
"Someone's getting a little too demanding for her own good." He glared at her his red eyes piercing her in place. She stared back at him with fear in her eyes. "That's what I thought… yes, you're still at the party. You haven't been out too long. But you won't be waking up anytime soon. Especially after that little stunt…" Kali looked away from him and he grabbed her hard by the face with his gloved hand to make her face him.
"Now don't you ever pull anything like this ever again! You almost ruined my plans…" He trailed off running a hand down her leg making her flinch away from him. He growled at her and then he vanished leaving her completely alone in the dream world.
Freddy opened his eyes to see Angela and Jeremy on one side of him and Wesley on the other. He lifted Kali's arms and sat up. He had never had full control over anyone before. Luckily for him Kali's body was too worn out to stay awake with the both of them in it so he left her in the dream world leaving him free range to do whatever he pleased.
"Kali… are you ok? He didn't hurt you did he?" Wesley instantly pulled her close making Freddy cringe inside.
"Don't touch me." He growled in Kali's voice and Wesley instantly backed off. "Where are my clothes?" He demanded and Andy handed them to him. Freddy grabbed them and smiled when he felt the heavy lump in the pocket of her pants.
"Is... is he still here?" Angela asked staring questioningly at him. He picked up Kali's clothes and headed for the door.
"He's gone. For now..." He closed the door behind him and quickly stripped himself of Kali's wet clothes in the middle of the hallway. Looking down at Kali's naked body he was tempted to enjoy himself, but he stopped himself when he heard someone coming around the corner.
"Kali?" Mia giggled to herself. "Whoa... I'm so sorry dude... I didn't think they'd affect you this much..." She continued to giggle as Freddy pulled Kali's pants on and reached into the side pocket pulling out the glove he had given her. When Kali was frantically getting ready for graduation he took over just long enough to slip the glove into her pocket without her knowing he was even there. Mia's eyes grew wide and began laughing uncontrollably and had to lean on the wall for support as he slipped the glove on.
"Ha ha very funny Kali who do you think you are Freddy fucking Krueger?" She asked followed by a really high pitched laugh. He flexed his fingers in the glove making the metal clink together. Smiling to himself he advanced towards her cutting her laughter short.
"Yes..." He grabbed her by the throat with his ungloved hand and pinned her to the wall. "...I am." He laughed in his own voice and her eyes locked onto his.
"You're eyes..." She choked and let out a small scream as he reached his blades back. A wave of pleasure washed over him as he plunged his blades into her stomach. As he released her throat she thrashed around as he reached his blades deeper into her and up into her ribcage. He could feel her warm blood trickle down Kali's arm and drip onto her toes. Every little twitch of her body felt so intensified through Kali's soft skin. Blood dripped from Mia's mouth and her struggling began to slow. With his free hand he smeared some of Mia's blood from her gaping wound onto Kali's face and licked one of her fingers. The satisfying metallic taste of her blood was intoxicating on Kali's uncharred tongue. This was definitely more than what he was expecting. Finally Mia stopped twitching and gurgling and she fell limp.
Mia's soul floated into him giving him a rush of power and energy that filled his whole body almost sending him over the edge along with Kali's untarnished senses. There was a gasp behind him and he slowly turned to find Angela and Wesley standing in the open doorway.
"No! Kali no!" Wesley yelled followed by a scream from Angela as her eyes set on Mia's motionless form.
"What happ… Oh god!" Jeremy darted back into the room his hand covering his mouth.
"You! You used her, you manipulative bastard!" Wesley screamed pointing at him accusingly. Freddy slowly turned to him and smiled evilly as he slid his glove out of Mia's body. He laughed and licked his bloodied blades enjoying the metallic taste once more making Angela and Wesley cringe.
"It's not my fault she took the drug. All I did was help her and I got an unexpected reward…" He took a step towards them making them jump back into the room leaving the door wide open. He wanted to kill them all, but he knew if he did he'd have no leverage over Kali other than her own life. Unfortunately he knew that if it came to that she might actually let him kill her. He hated to admit it but he did need her to help him get his revenge on that wretched town that damned him to his current hell. The power that she had in the dream world was definitely something that he couldn't just throw away.
He took another step towards them and Angela charged at him whacking him in the face with a glass candle stick. Catching himself on the wall with his bladed hand he wiped blood from his lip and laughed maniacally at the three of them that stood watching confused from the doorway.
"Just because I'm in control doesn't mean that you can hurt me. You're only hurting her." He smiled devilishly up at them and ran a blade lightly over Kali's forearm making a small cut and licking the blood off. When he had licked all the blood away only a white scar remained. "Do whatever you want… you can't stop me…"
He flashed all of them a glance causing them to be thrown back into the room and the door slammed shut locking them inside. All they could hear outside the door was his laughter before it faded down the hall.
Kali sat on the large overly worn couch in the living room in a panic wondering what horrible things Freddy could be doing with her body. She concentrated and attempted to wake herself up several times before getting a headache. Once she decided trying to get back into her body was useless she decided to make herself comfortable and made her room appear around her. Sitting up in her bed an invisible force hit her hard in the face making her cry out. Pain shot through her face and she wiped some blood from her lip.
"What are you doing?!" She asked aloud then let out a moan of pain as a cut appeared on her forearm and then suddenly stopped bleeding and turned into a scar. Attempting to ignore the pain in her face she laid down and attempted to drift off to sleep. "Sleeping when you're already in a dream…" She murmured to herself and laughed. She closed her eyes for a few moments then something threw her off the bed and a piercing pain shot through her back before the darkness fully consumed her.
When Kali opened her eyes she was in an unfamiliar bed and she was tied down with rope and duct tape. Her back was extremely sore along with her wrists and there was a bandana tied around her mouth. Looking down at herself she was in her pants that were covered in blood and had on a large shirt.
Her eyes darted around the room frantically until they set on her friends. Wesley sat in a chair near the bed talking with Jeremy and Angela sat with Monica and Andy. Monica's arm was bandaged up and Andy had a small cut on his face. Kali moaned loudly to get their attention.
"Kali?" Wesley asked sounding hopeful scooting his chair closer to the bed.
"No don't touch her! Get the mirror first to make sure." Andy demanded angrily holding Monica close. Kali was scared to know the extent of the damaged that was caused while she was out by their reaction to her. Angela handed Wesley a small hand mirror and he held it so he could see his and Kali's reflection in it. He let out a long relieved sigh.
"It's her. He's gone. Can we untie her now, please? Look at her wrists their rubbed raw." Wesley sat beside her on the bed and removed the bandana from her mouth and kissed her before she could say anything. She struggled to catch her breath for a moment.
"No we shouldn't risk it. Not yet." Angela suggested and everyone including Monica nodded in agreement.
"What happened? Did he kill anyone?" Kali asked frantically. Wesley and the others looked away from her. "Answer me!" She screamed.
"You… he… killed Mia and Gwen. He almost got me and he got one of Jeremy's friends Derek but that's it." Monica cradled her arm to her chest.
"It turns out he had snuck the glove he had made you into your pants pocket before graduation… and well when he was you, he could still do things that we can only do in the dream world… It was scary to experience…" Angela trailed off.
"Hearing his voice in place of yours… seeing his eyes instead of your eyes… this needs to stop. You have to start taking Hypnocil." Wesley demanded and everyone looked to Kali for her response. Not just their eyes, she could feel his eyes watching her too from a distance. She knew she had to be careful about how she handled this, or else he just might decide to come back.
"How many times do I have to tell you guys I'm not taking Hypnocil? If I do he'll get to me some other way you know that. If I start taking it the second he can get his hands on you guys he will kill you. Me cooperating is what's been keeping all of you alive so far, or else I'm sure he would have killed you all by now." Kali explained lightly tugging on her overly tight restraints.
"Kali after we got the glove off of him the glove itself still came after us!" Jeremy stood lifting the lid to the small chest he was sitting on and pulled out her bloodied glove. Kali's eyes went wide with fear.
"Oh and sorry about hitting you in the face. I was freaked out and wasn't thinking. And Jeremy broke a chair or two over your back." Angela explained.
"Yeah it wasn't easy getting you over here." Jeremy admitted.
"Where exactly is here?" Kali demanded looking around.
"This is my house. My parents work late so they won't be home for a few more hours." Jeremy explained wrapping his arms around Angela.
"How long? How long was he in control?" Kali asked as she pulled on her restraints some more.
"At the party for maybe a little over thirty minutes. The rest of the time we were trying to restrain him so we could get him out of there. It's been about four hours since he first took over. But we've had you here for awhile. He kept trying to convince us that he was really you. Luckily mirrors don't lie…" Wesley trailed off and lightly ran his fingers through her hair.
"I don't care if I have to carry a mirror around in my pocket all the time but Kali, we all agree. You need to take Hypnocil." Andy said firmly and Angela pulled the bottle of pills from her pocket and set them on the nightstand beside the bed.
"You guys I don't need to take Hypnocil! Untie me!" Kali screamed and pulled on her restraints as hard as she could. She was sure she was bleeding but didn't care. There was no way she was going to risk pissing Freddy off even more than she already had. Everyone stood then sat on the bed around her making her extremely uneasy. "This isn't funny untie me! If I take that he'll come after me with someone else!"
"Kali if he was really going to come after you with the Elm street kid then he would have burst through the door by now don't you think? I don't even think the kid exists he probably just made him up to scare you or if he is real he obviously hasn't found him yet." Angela explained.
"Kali please I know you want all of this to stop as much as we do. Please don't make us force you… Kali… please just promise me you'll take it and we'll untie you." Wesley pleaded putting his hand on her shoulder.
"You all don't understand! There is an Elm Street Survivor! Why do you think he went through the trouble of making me help him? He probably already knows who it is and he just can't get to them because they're on Hypnocil all the time!" Kali tried to explain hoping they weren't going to do what she thought they were.
"Well then let's just hope that they don't run out of Hypnocil then." Jeremy replied and handed the opened bottle of Hypnocil to Wesley.
"Wesley no! Please don't tell me that you agree with them?" Kali pleaded as a silent tear streamed down her face.
"Kali I love you. I only want you to be safe. Please trust us. Nothing is going to happen." Wesley reassured her and Kali shook her head from side to side with tears streaming down her face.
"If you love me then trust me!" Kali screamed and tried to struggle against her restraints as Andy held a glass of water standing behind Wesley. Kali actually wished that Freddy would come and take over again so he could stop them. Wesley sat on the bed beside her holding two pills in his hand. "Please…" Kali pleaded. "…Don't do this. You'll make him mad and he'll take it out on me. Please…."
"Kali he won't be able to get to you. All you have to do is keep taking the Hypnocil. I'm sure we could get a hold of the place that makes it and get you the kind that lasts longer." Angela explained as Kali finally gave up pulling on her restraints.
"Just do it already! It's obvious she isn't going to do it on her own." Monica said standing beside Andy. Wesley shot her a glare and she stared back at him unmoved.
"Come on Wes we tried." Jeremy put his hand on Wesley's shoulder and he sighed sadly.
"I'm sorry Kali…" Wesley looked down at her with sad eyes.
"You're sorry?! You'll all be sorry when he kills one of you or me!" Kali yelled through her tears.
"This is the only way to stop him and protect you." Wesley placed a light kiss on her forehead and Kali squeezed her eyes shut as her friends closed in around her.
