Chapter Twenty-Two: Elm Treatment

Freddy couldn't believe his eyes he was speechless. Sam had actually come to him. She was practically screaming at him in her mind but he ignored it and embraced her in a hug catching her by surprise. Her thoughts ceased and she hugged him back.

"Dad I missed you too." She pulled away. "But we need to talk." He knew she was worried about Kali. "I know you've been watching us. We need to help Kali."

"I know…" He couldn't stop himself from staring at her. Watching her was one thing but actually having here there was almost difficult for him. It almost bothered him how comfortable she seemed around him. He was afraid to take his eyes off of her in fear that she would disappear.

Kali had shown her what his world looked like but seeing the real thing was definitely different. The house smelled old and musty and felt damp and warm. She recognized the house was the one she grew up in only it was decayed and torn. Seeing her dad again even the way he was, was fulfilling. He stood staring intently at her.

"Dad?" She asked concerned.

"This isn't easy... She wasn't supposed to tell you. Then you accepted who I was and now… you're here…" He his blades clinked together nervously. "I guess I always imagined you hating me or fearing me."

"Well, I don't. I've been locked up in this place for over twenty-five years! I've watched people get slashed to death in their dreams knowing that it was you. You're my Dad and I love you." She explained hugging him again. They sat together on the couch. "Kali told me you were afraid you weren't strong enough to get me out, afraid of failing." She explained and he looked away from her. "You won't."

"Now I have to get both of you out. If I fail things will only get worse." He rasped not wanting to think about the things they could do to them. She stared back at him in disbelief.

"What do you mean worse? What could be worse for Kali than what they've already done to her? They took away her dreaming, it was everything to her. They took me away from Mom, and you away from me. They stole my family and more than half my life! What else could they do?" She asked becoming angry wishing he'd just understand. Freddy looked at her knowing that she was right. "I know you're strong enough. Since you've been with Kali you've killed over a hundred people possibly two hundred from what I've heard." She explained remembering over hearing several of the other doctor's conversations.

"Kali…" He looked to the TV and it showed Kali lying in the padded room staring at the ceiling. Sam turned her attention over to the TV, seeing Kali on the screen made her wonder just how often he watched the both of them.

"You really care about her, don't you?" She asked and he stared blankly back at her. Reading her thoughts, he knew how much she liked Kali and how much she hoped for Kali's sake that he felt for her what she felt for him. For the first time he didn't feel like lying to himself.

"I do…" He said sadly looking away from her. She put a hand on his shoulder to comfort him.

"Then we need to do something now. I can pull you out with me. Just tell me how." She pleaded remembering Kali didn't even know.

"Not yet, just one more soul." He smiled to himself sensing Wesley getting close to passing out again. "Kali was right. I've been using Wesley all this time. Just let me get rid of him first."

"Why?" She asked wondering why he'd prolong helping them escape.

"He's Helen and James' kid." He explained making Sam's eyes go wide. She knew he was the one that turned Kali in and related to an Elm survivor but she had no idea who he was related to. Wesley entered the dream world making Freddy growl.

"Who are you?" Wesley asked appearing a few feet away from Sam. She stared back at him confused. Freddy grabbed him by the throat and lifted him off the ground.

"Sam, get out of here." He warned.

"I'm not leaving." She stood her ground. He threw Wesley across the room through the wall.

"Just wait a few hours and I'll be ready. I promise." He told her before pushing her out of the dream world. She sat up in bed and looked around.

"Dammit Dad…" She huffed. Getting out of bed she put her slippers on and made her way down the hall. She knew he was going to kill him but would it really take hours? As she quickly peeked into the security room where they monitored Kali she saw her screaming at something she couldn't see and attempting to chew her way out of her straight jacket again. Durgt was the one watching her and laughed at the screen as she became more hysterical.

She wished she could punch him in the back of the head as his laughing continued. As she continued down the hall, she finally realized just what her father was going to do to Wesley. He wasn't just going to kill him he was going to torture him.

Freddy grabbed Wesley by the foot and dragged him down the hallway as it shifted into the boiler room. Wesley screamed and attempted to grab onto the railing as he was dragged down the catwalk. Each time he got a good grip on something Freddy yanked him off of it.

"Let me go!" Wesley screamed and Freddy lifted him up off the catwalk by his foot his face hanging an inch off the ground. Freddy looked up at the endless ceiling and a chain lowered itself down and wrapped around Wesley's ankle and lifted him high enough for his hands to be dangling a few inches off the ground. "What're you doing?! Put me down!"

"Not until your heart stops beating." He rasped above him and spun him making him twirl by his ankle and held his blades out letting them lightly slice Wesley's delicate flesh with each turn of his body. Wes cried out in pain and Freddy sliced his shirt and pants off cutting him as he did. He also removed his shoes and socks leaving him in only his boxers. Blood trickled from his fresh wounds as he continued to cry out.

It was intoxicating to take in all his fear and pain. He grabbed Wes by his loose foot stopping his spinning. With a quick slice of his blades, he cut three of his toes off making him scream in pain. He slowly left little nicks on his leg all the way up to his chest and dug one blade into his side.

"Please!" Wesley cried. "Just kill me already!" He pleaded.

"That would be too easy on you." Freddy chuckled. "You're an Elm Street brat you get special treatment." He sliced at his back making him scream and he shoved a blade all the way through his leg making him scream even louder.

Sam walked down the hall making sure no one was around and made her way to the lounge where the doctors would hang out. She watched as James got into the elevator after typing in a password on a small hidden keypad in the wall. She knew that the upper level was where they made the Hypnocil and beneath where they kept her and the other patients was where they distributed the Hypnocil in the water supply and added it into local grocery store items. Another doctor keyed in the code after he left and she memorized it before walking off to the cafeteria for a snack.

Waiting wasn't easy for her now that she knew they could make it out of there. She knew her Father wouldn't let anything stop them and was ready to help him burn that whole place down to the ground. There was no doubt in her mind that they would be free of that place. Her only worry was that Kali might be too far gone. Eating her peanut butter and jelly sandwich in her usual corner table she noticed a few of the kids staring at her and whispering to each other.

Ignoring them as usual she made her way out of the cafeteria and couldn't help but walk past the room where they were watching Kali. She had been gassed out again and Durgt was in her cell giving her another dose of dreamless Hypnocil leaving the surveillance room empty. Looking around she couldn't help herself. She quickly stepped into the room and hit the large blue button labeled knockout gas and walked off watching the room fill with gas with Durgt still inside.

She walked every hall of the entire facility as slow as she could only making another hour go by. Getting annoyed she went and sat in the activities room. She wasn't in the mood to draw and remembered watching Kali build a house out of cards a few times and decided to attempt it for herself to help pass the time.

The cat walk was caked in Wesley's blood and he screamed dripping crimson red down his whole body and out of his mouth. Freddy took a step back from him and admired his handy work. Wesley had long given up on struggling and just continued to scream and moan in pain. He was now missing half of one arm and had only his middle finger left on his remaining hand. His leg that wasn't tied up was completely gone and had been removed in several small sections. Part of his other foot was missing and there were several large gashes and holes in the rest of his body. Freddy made sure not to cut into any major organs or arteries to keep him alive as long as possible. The metallic scent of Wesley's blood overpowered everything else and Freddy was covered in it.

He picked up Wesley's tongue off the catwalk and threw it at his face making him flinch. He grabbed him by his one remaining finger and bent it backwards making a satisfying cracking that made him cry out. Wesley screamed unrecognizable words at him causing Freddy's laughter echo throughout the boiler room.

"What was that? I can't understand you." He chuckled darkly and stabbed one of his blades through the bottom of his jaw slowly removing it. His cries got quieter. Freddy knew he was enjoying himself a little too much, but continued anyways.

"I've been waiting to kill you since the first day I saw you. I've known from the first day I was with Kali who you were. You've caused me so many problems." He dragged his blades along his skin slicing him open even more as he began to circle him. "Kali almost chose you over me. But luckily her little friend told you everything and you took it badly leaving her broken and even more willing to help me… Then everything was going so well and you just had to get her taken away. You're just like your brat parents… and your asshole grandparents… ever wonder how they really died?" He stopped for a moment and looked down at him and he stared up with his blood filled eyes.

"I killed them. And your parents hid behind their fucking Hypnocil. Do you even know what they do? I haven't shown you yet have I?" He asked staring down at him. Wesley's mind was screaming in pain at him now that it hurt too much to continue screaming with his destroyed mouth. But he looked up at him questioningly. Freddy couldn't resist putting him in more emotional pain to match physical and knelt down to his level. He placed the tip of one of his blades on his temple and began flashing images through his mind.

How his parents helped cover everything up and rewrite the town's history, how they brainwashed or killed those who wouldn't keep quiet, putting Hypnocil in the town's water supply, testing the Hypnocil on people having almost all the test subjects die, and James beating Kali until she was unconscious. Wesley made a loud gurgling noise, he was disgusted with his parents and himself. He was now begging Freddy to kill him with his mind making him smile evilly.

"Are you sure?" Freddy asked cocking his head to one side his bloody blades twitching. Wesley used the last of his strength and nodded. Freddy took in a deep breath through his nose inhaling the intoxicating metallic scent of his blood.

He cut his hand off and then grabbed him by the throat with his ungloved hand and cut through his leg that was holding him up in the air. He held him by the throat over the edge of the catwalk and shoved his blades into his stomach ripping his insides out. The life finally left his eyes and his soul flew into Freddy making him drop Wesley's body into the fiery depths below.

It had been so long since he had killed an Elm Street brat and Wesley's soul overwhelmed him intensifying everything around him. He gripped the railing to keep from falling over and was breathing deeply. It was more intoxicating than the time he killed with Kali with him. He caught his breath and could feel the power he had flowing through him, he was finally ready.

Freddy quickly appeared in his living room the blood on him had vanished and he saw Sam playing with a deck of cards.

"Sam." He called her and she looked around. He was surprised that she heard him, he usually had to be with the person for them to hear him. She quickly gathered up her cards doing her best not to draw attention her herself and made her way back to her room. He quickly checked on Kali and she was starting to stir awake. Sam jumped into bed and she was instantly in his world.

"I'm ready." She said with confidence. "I just hope Kali isn't too far gone…" She looked sad and Freddy shared the same look of concern.

"She'll be fine…" He attempted to convince himself. "Sam what did you do?" He looked at her questioningly.

"What do you mean?" She asked as she followed his gaze to the TV. Two doctors were making their way to her room. "Oh… I gassed Durgt when he was in Kali's cell… I…" She couldn't think of how to explain herself. Freddy smiled at her and gave her a kiss on the forehead. "Love you." She smiled knowing he understood.

"I love you… are you ready we have to do this now." He said seriously.

"Just tell me what to do." She said confidently and he held an extra bladed glove in his hand.

"Hang onto me and concentrate on waking up and I'll push us both out of the dream world." He instructed and she wrapped her arms tightly around him and he wrapped his arms around her. They both closed their eyes and focused on waking up.
