Chapter Sixteen: Doing Something About It

"What in the…" Freddy was cut short when Kali began kissing him frantically. He pulled her deeper into the kiss. After a moment he realized what she wanted and flipped her off of him and quickly got to his feet. Kali lay on her back on the floor staring up at him. The lustful look in her eyes quickly turned into anger.

"I don't understand you! One day you want me the next you want to kill me, make up your fucking mind!" She screamed getting to her feet. She shook her head and rubbed her temples frustrated with herself more than anything. "Why… why do I even want you?" She slumped to the couch facing away from him.

"You tell me? Why do I want you?" Kali's heart stopped at his words and she slowly turned to face him, but he was gone. She rested her face in her palms as her pulse thumped in her ears. She didn't know if she really just heard him say what she thought he said. The faint beeping of her alarm could be heard in the distance and she groaned.

"Figures…" She sat up in bed and hit her alarm off. The day dragged on at work and she couldn't help but replay what he said over and over again. To her surprise she didn't hear from Freddy all day. When she got home from work with Paige Angela was waiting for her outside.

Kali walked past her in silence and Angela followed her to her room.

"So…" Angela attempted to break the silence. Kali leaned on her bed and glared at her friend.

"Why did you tell him?" Kali demanded crossing her arms against her chest.

"I didn't know what to do. He kept questioning me about you and Freddy. I'm sorry. I didn't know he'd act like this…" Angela looked sadly at the floor trying to avoid Kali's angry eyes.

"How else did you think he'd act? You basically told him I've been cheating on him the entire time we were together. What do you want? Why are you even here?" Kali spat at her.

"You're my best friend and I want to help you. Wesley won't even talk to me anymore. He refuses to give me the glove and…"

"He has the glove?" Kali interrupted her.

"Yeah, he took it after the party. But don't worry Andy doesn't know, only me and Wesley… and Jeremy. Please let me help you…" Angela pleaded putting a hand on Kali's shoulder.

"No we don't need your help." She shrugged Angela off of her.

"We? Kali what's going on? There were three new murders last night. One of them didn't even go to our school! How many are you bringing him? You can tell me." She gave her a hopeful look.

"Why would I tell you anything after what you did?" Kali replied coldly.

"Because who else do you have to talk to, besides him?" Angela stood her ground and Kali dropped her arms to her sides in defeat. She was right. She had no one, only him. Who could she talk to that wouldn't try and commit her?

"You're right…" Kali sighed and looked up at her friend. "It doesn't really matter… so long as no one tries to stop me. You can't tell anyone anything, not even Jeremy." Kali explained putting her hands on Angela's shoulders looking her straight in the eye and she nodded in agreement.

You better not… Freddy warned in her ear.

"I better not what?" Kali asked releasing her friend.

Don't tell her anything. No one but us needs to know she'll just interfere. He explained.

"No one needs to know what? Are you referring to the plan or the other thing I just can't seem to figure out." Kali retorted as Angela took a step back and gave her a worried look. Freddy knew what she was referring to but refused to give in to what it was she was trying to get.

Getting Sam out,no oneneeds to know about it. If you tell her Iwillkill her. He threatened and Kali slumped into her computer chair.

"You wouldn't be able to even get to her." Kali taunted.

"Kali…" Angela said trying to get her attention and she held a silencing hand to her.

You really want to test that theory? Kali sat in silence. That's what I thought. And he disappeared.

Freddy now sat at his couch and watched as Kali shivered at the temperature change he caused. She began going on and on about him and what happened that one night… she knew he was watching and she was basically taunting him this way. It bothered him that it was working. She kept going through that night and all the other close calls over the past few nights they've had to almost finishing what they had started.

He did his best to try and focus but he felt himself getting hard. Then she mentioned the night before making him switch the TV off. Why did he have to say that… what was she doing to him? It didn't even matter that she knew. The thing that bothered him the most is he didn't already get what he wanted. Why did he keep stopping himself? Nothing ever stopped him from taking what he wanted before.

"No more waiting…" He smiled to himself and switched the TV back on.

Kali sat in her pajamas with Angela on her floor eating the rest of their French fries from McDonalds as they watched the end of The Frighteners.

"So would you rather be stuck seeing ghosts the rest of your life or work for Freddy?"Angela asked licking the salt off of her fingers.

"Freddy of course." Kali replied and Angela rolled her eyes at her.

"I guess it doesn't really matter what you two do now, I highly doubt Wes will ever…"

"Can we please not talk about him?" Kali quickly cut her off.

"Sorry…" Angela looked to the floor and then to the clock. "Well I better get going since you work in the morning." She got to her feet and grabbed her keys off of Kali's desk. Kali walked her out and threatened her once more not to tell Jeremy anything before she drove off.

Kali came back inside and got ready for bed. She sat in the middle of her bed leaning against the wall. Angela was probably right though, Wesley would never think of her the same again. It was only eight but she could feel Freddy pulling her to sleep.

"Alright I'm coming I'm coming. Geeze…" Kali turned her light off and got in bed. She found herself standing in the middle of the boiler room. Before she had time to look around Freddy's hand was at her throat.

"Bring me someone… now." He demanded. Kali closed her eyes and when she opened them the young girl she pulled in was standing less than a foot away from her looking rather confused. Freddy turned towards the girl and quickly stabbed his blades all the way into her chest and dragged them down, all while still holding Kali with his free hand. Blood splattered all over Kali and Freddy making Kali flinch and close her eyes as tight as she could.

The girl fell to the catwalk and convulsed a few times before her soul floated into Freddy. Kali still held her eyes shut and Freddy pulled her closer to him. She could feel the heat of the boiler room disappear and hear Freddy's breathing get deeper, but still refused to open her eyes afraid to see the dead girl's body.

"Look at me…" Freddy breathed as his grip loosened on her throat. Kali slowly opened her eyes to find that they were now in his bedroom. Freddy was looking at her lustfully and Kali's breath caught in her throat as his hand trailed down her neck and to her shoulder. His bladed hand rested behind her head and he pulled her into a kiss.

Kali felt nothing but pure passion and raw need behind it and pushed him back onto the bed never breaking the kiss. He moaned under her lips and Kali heard the faint clink of his blades. They both fought for breath when they finally released each other.

Everything was so intensified for him from absorbing the girl's soul. Kali's smell was intoxicating and he sliced the back of her shirt open and ripped it off as she undid his pants. Before she could get his pants off he took his glove and hat and threw them across the room. She looked in their direction as they hit the wall and fell to the floor. While she was momentarily distracted he wrapped his arms around her and rolled making them switch positions so he was on top.

Kali's head was spinning and all she could hear was the thumping of her heart in her ears. He quickly rid of her of her pajama pants along with her underwear and she pulled his sweater over his head. Before she could pull him back up to her he slid his arms under her thighs and pulled her wetness to his lips and Kali's eyes went wide once she realized what he was about to do.

She tried to sit up but was forced down and held by invisible bonds. He enjoyed how sweet she tasted and felt himself getting harder as she moaned and arched her back. She gripped the sheets beneath her and he sucked on her clit making her scream out in pleasure. Licking up all of her juices he couldn't take it anymore and released her. The second she realized she was free she practically ripped his pants off and pulled him on top of her.

They both stopped for a moment and just enjoyed the feel of their skin on one another. Freddy ran his hands from her shoulders and up Kali's arms placing them above her head and she ran her hands down his arms. The texture of her skin was like silk on his rough scars. She trailed her hands from his shoulders and up his neck to his face making him close his eyes in pleasure as his painful hardness rested above her slick opening.

Breathing hard they stared into each other before both of them moved again and he slid into her making them both cry out. Kali looked into his eyes and saw something that she hadn't seen before. His eyes stared back at her, his human eyes. They were tinted red and bloodshot from the fire but you could still see the deep blue of his irises. She got lost in his eyes as their bodies moved in rhythm together.

He slowly moved in and out of her relishing every second. The way she was looking up at him sent a satisfying chill through him. For the first time since he last saw Sam he felt wanted, needed. She put her hands on either side of his face and began kissing him furiously and wrapped her legs around him pulling him deeper into her.

Kali let out a soft cry of pleasure as he bit her collar bone and kissed up her neck and to her lips. She tightened her legs around him and wrapped her arms around his neck and he followed suit and they rolled still entwined in each other. Now on top she released his neck and began riding him faster and faster coming hard and scratching down his chest. He pulled her back down to him and kissed her roughly sucking on her tongue as she pulled away to catch her breath.

He was getting close and held her tight as they rolled back over putting him back on top. When he looked down at her she had a look of pure ecstasy on her face making him smile smugly and she turned her head slightly to the side in curiosity when she caught sight of him. Kali had forgotten all about Wesley, about her friends she lost, the lives she's helped take, all that mattered at that moment was him and her.

Getting lost in her thoughts he picked up the pace and Kali pulled him into a long kiss. His hands trailed down her neck and up her arms stopping at her wrists holding them down to the bed making her arch her back.

"Don't stop…" She moaned beneath him and he pounded into her on the edge of release. She screamed out his name coming again and she tightened around him making him finally cum. He let out a loud guttural moan and released her wrists. Before he had time to catch his breath she placed kisses all over his neck and face before he pulled her in a soft kiss and rolled off of her laying beside her both of them trying to calm their breathing.

"Never… make me… wait… that long… again…" Kali breathed making Freddy laugh.

"Where's the fun in that?" He teased. "Besides… you started all of this in the first place… it's your fault." He attempted trying to deny his true feelings.

"Don't even… try and blame this… on just me… you're the indecisive one that kept putting it off… I'm not stupid you know…" She knew he was afraid to admit what he knew was true. He had feelings for her. She had known since she woke up after the party. There was no way he'd go through everything he did for her if he didn't. He glared at her out of the corner of his eye. She rolled over and stared back at him. His eyes had returned to their normal reddish glow.

He was a bit annoyed that she knew. He wasn't supposed to have these kinds of feelings towards people anymore. Yet here he was with her unable to put into words what he felt towards her. He never really planned any further than getting Sam and destroying the Hypnocil lab. What was he going to do?

Kali stared at him knowing he was at a loss for words and decided to leave the subject alone for awhile not wanting to piss him off. He glared at her and before he could figure out what he wanted to do she pulled someone him making him smirk.

"You know me too well…" He kissed her gently on the lips making her lean into him and closed her eyes, when she opened them again he was gone. She leaned up against the head board and sat there staring at the ceiling waiting for him to return or her alarm to wake her up, which ever happened first.

The next few weeks went on rather smoothly for Kali despite work getting more and more annoying. Paige had quit so she could move into her new dorm and get settled and used to her new job up in Tucson before school started. Since she left Tabitha had gone on a real power trip and had begun bossing Kali around like she was her slave.

Luckily it was pretty tolerable for her with Freddy constantly being with her. She was finally to the point of being able jump into his world by simply closing her eyes and concentrating, she could easily bring him new victims even while she was at work. He complained half the time and kept urging her on to kill her coworkers but otherwise it wasn't so bad.

Kali and Angela hung out on the days that she didn't work unless Freddy decided to not let her wake up and would sometimes keep her asleep all day. Angela wasn't exactly happy with what Kali was doing but wasn't going to stop her so long as her and her friends were safe. There were even a few days Kali hung out at the mall finding future victims to bring him.

It seemed like the more time he spent with her the stronger he got with each new soul she brought him. He hated going to work with her it was so repetitive and slow, but it was better than wandering around his realm all day watching Sam and the others.

As each night passed he got stronger and stronger and grew closer to Kali. He still refused to admit it to himself but he did have feelings for her. He couldn't even pretend to be mean to her anymore. Each time he ignored or refused her they always ended up on his bed. He tried to stay away for a whole day only finding himself utterly bored and talking to himself out loud.

After a week or two he noticed that she would get extremely cold without him with her. Her body had gotten so used to him being with her that even in the awful heat of Arizona she'd still get cold. He'd had to yell at her a few times when she would start to talk to him out loud in front of customers. He was almost strong enough and decided only one more week and he'd be ready. He was about to tell her when Kali's thoughts suddenly ceased and she thought the name he hated to hear.

"Wes?" She quickly walked out to the front of the store. He stood there holding a rose. He ran up to her and gave her a hug confusing the hell out of her and making Freddy growl in her head.

"You're so warm maybe you shouldn't be at work if you have a fever." He said sounding concerned and confused at the same time. "I know you're probably mad at me about the last time we saw each other but it's ok, I know that things are different now." He smiled oddly and handed her the rose looking at her expectantly. She stared blankly back up at him.

Take a step back he's not all there… Kali took a step back and eyed Wesley closely. He's disillusioned himself into thinking that I'm not with you anymore and all the killings are because I've been using the Elm Street survivor instead of you. Freddy explained making Kali take another step back. Jeremy burst in the door followed closely by Angela. Jeremy grabbed him by the arm and pulled him away from Kali.

"We told you not to come see her." Jeremy said angrily.

"What the hell is going on out here?" Tabitha's nasally voice rang over the counter. "Tell your stupid friends to get the hell out of my store!" She motioned to the door and put her hands on her hips.

"It's not your store!" Kali screamed then cupped her hand over her mouth her eyes going wide. It was her voice that said it but it wasn't her, it was Freddy. "We talked about this, no talking for me…" Kali said quietly through gritted teeth. Wesley heard her and looked at her with saddened eyes.

"No… he's gone… he can't still be with you!" Jeremy grabbed him around the chest and dragged him out the door.

"I'm sorry Kali we tried to stop him…" Angela said before disappearing out the door. Kali slowly turned around to face Tabitha. She stood with her arms crossed, face red, her foot tapping impatiently.

"What did you say?" She demanded through gritted teeth. Kali cursed Freddy in her head and took a deep breath.

"I said it's not your store. You're not the owner, you're not even shift leader, just because you've been here the longest and my sister is gone now doesn't make you queen bitch." Kali said bravely knowing there was no going back after what Freddy had said.

"Well then I'll just have to have a little chat with the boss then. You'll get fired for sure." She smirked and walked into the back room and began dialing their boss's number. A few minutes later she walked out of the back. "You're lucky he's not answering the phone right now…" She threatened and disappeared into the back room.

The whole drive home she yelled at Freddy out loud and he just ignored her. Angela was waiting for her in the driveway.

"What the hell happened to Wesley?" Kali asked as she packed her things to stay over at Angela's for the night since she didn't work the next day.

"I honestly don't know. He has completely lost it. He came to Jeremy the day before yesterday going on and on about how happy he was that Freddy had found the Elm Street survivor and was leaving you alone now. We did our best to get him to understand that he was wrong, but he just wouldn't believe us that Freddy is still with you." Angela explained with a worried expression.

"We broke him?" Freddy laughed out loud making Angela take a step back from Kali.

"Is he always with you?" Angela asked eyeing her friend.

"Yes, is there something wrong with that?" She asked and Freddy could feel her anger.

"Well… it's probably not healthy being around him so much." She looked away from Kali as her eyes flashed red. "Just saying…"

Kali finished packing her overnight bag and said goodbye to her Mom before heading over to Angela's. They spent the night swimming and playing video games. Angela seemed a bit less talkative than usual but Kali didn't let it bother her.

That night when Kali fell asleep she found herself standing in the middle of a long dimly lit hallway. She felt Freddy's hands on her shoulders and she leaned against his chest.

"This is the lab. Memorize it. Find a way in and a way out. One more week…" He explained pulling her close and breathing into her ear making her lean into him. "I believe you owe me something…" He said seductively running his hands down her arms. Kali pulled two kids in and he kissed her neck before disappearing after them.

She roamed the halls and the rooms of the lab with no luck of finding a way in or out. There was a whole separate area for the patients kept on Hypnocil complete with activity room and a small cafeteria. She sat in a room that looked similar to the one that Sam stayed in most of the time. A hand wrapped around Kali's scarred wrist and she was thrown against the wall.

"Miss me?" Freddy asked seductively holding her to the wall by her wrists.

"It's hard to miss someone that's with you every minute of everyday… did you miss me?" Kali asked curiously smiling back at him. He laughed as the room shifted around them and Kali was lying in his bed with him straddling her.

"Nope, not one little bit…" He smirked before pressing his lips to hers.

The next day Kali and Angela went to the mall and while Angela shopped Kali and Freddy looked for potential victims for the next week. The day seemed to drag on and when Kali got home she decided to call it an early night.

She had searched the entire facility only to find that there were no windows and all the vents in the ceiling were too small to climb through, even the ceiling was plated with metal so no one could get out. The front door into the place had all kinds of locks and pass codes and there was one back door that led outside but it needed a pass code as well. There wasn't even a fire escape door. They definitely didn't want anyone getting in or out of there. She sat at a table in the activity room feeling rather defeated being unable to find a way out.

"We'll still be able to get her out. I'll be with you and I'll have my dream powers. I'll make a way in." Freddy placed a hand on her shoulder and sat on the table in front of her.

"I know I'm just afraid they'll do something to you. Then they'll catch me and use me for their experiments and put me on Hypnocil until I die." She explained with fear in her eyes and he looked at her with determination.

"I won't let them." He threatened and Kali could see it in his eyes that he was completely serious. She kissed his hand and rested her head on his leg.

The next day at work was awful from the moment she got there. Tabitha had decided she wasn't going to do anything all day except run the register and answer the phone if it rang and made a long prep list for Kali to do. Luckily her other coworker Chris was there while they were busy so Kali could focus on getting all the prep done. She had gotten everything but slicing the meats done and Chris was nice enough to get the slicing started for her in between customers and had gotten half of it done for her by the time his shift was over.

Once all the customers from their afternoon rush had cleared out Kali decided that it was the best time to go on break since her stomach was growling to the point that it was starting to annoy Freddy.

"Tab before I finish slicing can I go on break?" Kali asked as she cleaned the pile of dirty trays that Tabitha had been neglecting.

"Yeah you can go on break…" She smiled an evil smile. "…after you stock and clean the dining room." She stuck her nose up in the air and turned on her heel and walked into the back of the store.

Can we please just kill her? I'll just take over and do it. That stupid stuck up little bitch! She's younger than you, kick her ass or something! You never stand up for yourself!Freddy rambled on in her ear making her grow warmer as she stocked the drink station.

Can you calm down? I'm fine. I'm used to it. She explained grabbing a rag to wipe down tables with.

Well you shouldn't be. You deserve better than this…He rasped as Tabitha walked out from the back room.

"Hey Kali, who was that crazy guy that came in here yesterday? He was pretty hott…" Kali stopped what she was doing and glared at her angrily. "… I mean I love my boyfriend to pieces but, I don't know there is just something about that boy…" She went on oblivious to the fact that Kali was headed her way. "…You think he'd at least have sex with me?"

Kali was furious and Freddy was egging her on as she made her way over to her.

"Don't you ever talk about him like that ever again!" Kali screamed and Tabitha's eyes went wide with surprise as she noticed how close Kali was to her. There were several electrical popping noises that came from the security cameras. Kali looked up at the camera on the ceiling above them realizing that Freddy had shorted them out. She smiled evilly at Tabitha who turned to run into the back to get away from her. Kali grabbed her by the hair and the locks to the front door could be heard clicking in place.

Once she had Tabitha in her grasp she cried out. "Please! I'm sorry!" Kali turned and the first thing her eyes set on was the meat slicer that was still plugged in from when Chris was using it. She kicked Tabitha's feet out from under her and dragged her towards the slicer kicking and screaming as Freddy laughed maniacally in her head.
