I'm like a mad dog, I'm on a short leash,
I'm on a tightrope, hanging by a thread,
I'm on some thin ice, you push me too far,
Welcome to my Nightmare, No more Mr. Nice Guy- It's the Little Things by Alice Cooper
Sorry about the delay! I've been racking my brain on this chapter because all of my "juice" ran out. I had only planned up until the last chapter, so I had a lot of thinking to do. But since it is Summer, I have so much more time to write. And this week is a good week for it, because most of my friends are away. I don't know if I'll be with any of my other friends this week, so it's writing and drawing for me!
Please by sure to write a review of my chapter if you have the time, for it is greatly appreciated. You are welcome to suggest things too, but I might not always use them. Hope you enjoy!
~Adeline Bennett~ Adeline Bennett~ Adeline Bennett~ Adeline Bennett~ Adeline Bennett~ Adeline Bennett~ Adeline Bennett~ Adeline Bennett~
I woke up the next morning completely refreshed. I don't know what it was, but man, did I feel great! Maybe it was overcoming my fears of the popular crowd that helped me out. My mind definitely knows how to make me feel better.
Stretching beside my bed, I looked out into the busy street below. Cars and people were racing past like they were all late for something. Why should they rush on such a nice day? They should always savor days like today, in case they never get another.
I looked over to Adrianna, who was still fast asleep. I smirked when I saw she was clutching a teddy bear from when she was six. It had always comforted her from the dreams we had as children. Well, those dreams shouldn't be bothering us again for a long time.
After getting dressed I hopped, skipped, and jumped down to the kitchen. Amazed with my newly found pep, I practically flung Strawberry jam all over the wall. I giggled a bit, as I sat down to the TV on the ratty old couch.
There never is anything to watch in the mornings, really. No Family Guy, Simpsons, or South Park to enjoy. And since mother forbade any of us kids from recording shows onto the DVR, I was forced to watch the local news. It was still too early for Good Morning America, so I have to deal with the boring local stuff.
I watched as the news channel came back from commercials, biting into my toast. I stopped mid munch as I listened to the TV set in horror.
"And now in more serious news, at around 9:53 PM, a brutal murder occurred in the Montefiore Medical Center last night. Diane Willows comes to us live from outside of the Hospital. Diane?"
"Thank you Tom. For those of you just tuning in, a foul murder had been played out in the Montefiore Medical Center late last night. The body was completely unrecognizable, but the bracelet on her arm was able to confirm her identity. The sixteen year old had been admitted to the hospital earlier that day due to a broken nose. Nobody is in custody yet, but the police say they have a couple of suspects that might be linked to this brutal killing."
I froze as I heard a knocking at the door. I stood up slowly, inching to the doorway as slow as possible. What felt like forever took a matter of seconds, and I began to turn the doorknob. My stomach lurched as I saw what stood at my doorstep.
"Are you Miss Adeline Bennett?" the gruff voice asked. I nodded quickly.
"NYPD Miss. You don't mind if we take you down to the station for a couple of questions, do you?"
~Adeline Bennett~ Adeline Bennett~ Adeline Bennett~ Adeline Bennett~ Adeline Bennett~ Adeline Bennett~ Adeline Bennett~ Adeline Bennett~
The Police station was just like Adeline had seen on shows like Criminal Minds, except much more busy and rushed. Men in blue ran around the station with paperwork of new cases. Adeline stared out the glass windows of the office, wondering how much evidence they had on her. She was frustrated at how she had been played like a complete tool, right into Freddy's plans.
"Don't fret piglet." A recognizable voice rasped in her ear. "Your alibi is completely set in stone."
"That's wonderful to know Freddy. Wouldn't want me to get pinned on a crime I didn't even commit, would you?" Adeline grunted, making sure to make as little mouth movement as possible so the cops wouldn't notice.
"I'm just a Good Samaritan that way…" Freddy snickered as the cop who brought Adeline in opened the door.
Walking to his seat, he looked at Adeline's getup. Her makeup made her take on the appearance of a raccoon, in his eyes at least. She was wearing an oversized black hoodie over a Lady Gaga tee, and wore multiple sets of chains on her pants. After noticing the expression of displeasure on her face, he sat up.
"Miss Bennett, where were you last night at the time of the murders?" he asked. Adeline rolled her eyes at the stereotype, and continued.
"Well officer…?"
"Officer Graham."
"Officer Graham, on the night of the murder I was asleep in my mother's apartment. Though the only person I can get for you to vouch for that is my twin sister Adrianna."
"That's fine." Officer Graham wrote some things down in a yellow notepad and continued questioning. "What kind of relationship did you have with the victim?"
"Obviously from what you heard from how the 'victim' was sent to the hospital, I didn't like her one bit." Adeline shuddered thinking about how Freddy must have mangled her. "But I could never do something like that. Not to anybody."
"Alright." Graham wrote in his notepad again. "Is there anything else you would like to say?"
"Well, this person is definitely a monster." Adeline sighed. "He probably defies all laws, even the ones that keep reality in check."
"You know, that's how I always feel on these cases, Miss Bennett. Thankfully I can have the pleasure of bringing these guys to justice before they ever have the chance to strike again." Officer Graham said in a monotone. "Are you sure you want to go to school even with all of this nonsense going around?"
"I'm not allowed to go to school." Adeline furrowed her brow. "Suspended."
"Oh, right. I'll just drive you home then." Officer Graham sighed, and stood up. As he walked Adeline out to his car, she looked around at the cops. Once she was in the car, she found herself staring at the passing vehicles. She almost didn't notice when Freddy chimed in with his opinion.
"I love cops." Freddy snickered a bit. "They're nice and stupid."
Adeline smiled, stealing a glance at Officer Graham. She had just gotten away with being an accessory to murder. Well, more like she would have been put away for a murder she didn't commit. They might have even tossed her in the loony bin if she mentioned ANYTHING about Freddy Krueger. Nobody in their right mind would have believed that a fictional serial killer was real and was now terrorizing a harmless (not to mention innocent) Goth sixteen year old because he needed her help. Please, what lawyer would even believe her?
"Damn it all! Why can't those good for nothing slime balls just leave well enough alone!" Graham scowled while driving past the school. Adeline stared out the window in disbelief.
Multiple news vehicles were parked in front of the school, and were filming everywhere. She noticed among them, was Diane Willows. Diane had used to be a model before she took up being a tabloid news reporter, so she always acted like she was a goddess. But even though she looked extremely ritzy, she would get the job done. Even if she had to get up in your face to do it.
As the car passed, Adeline shuddered at the thought of being stalked by the media. She had always thought it would be cool to be famous, but not this way.
~Adrianna Bennett~ Adrianna Bennett~ Adrianna Bennett~ Adrianna Bennett~ Adrianna Bennett~ Adrianna Bennett~ Adrianna Bennett~ Adrianna Bennett~
Adeline's sister waded through the crowd of reporters, trying to dodge all the questions the media hounds threw at her. Especially from that reporter Diane. Adrianna never liked her much. She hated gossip directed towards people who never did anything to harm anybody.
"Adrianna! Do you think your sister Adeline is the murderer!" Diane rushed foreword, trying to get a statement. Adrianna ran into the school as fast as she could. Once she was inside, she sighed. Reporters weren't allowed in the school, so she was safe for the time being.
As Adrianna began to walk to her locker, she noticed everyone was staring at her. She waved to her friends, but they looked away and gave her the cold shoulder. She sighed, but shook it off as she began to open her locker.
Then, out of nowhere, a bucket of fluid fell onto her head, drenching her from head to toe. She stared in disbelief at her hands while the other students howled like hyenas. She looked at the kids, doubling over in laughter. That's when she noticed the smell. The foul stench of blood.
Adrianna watched the red substance pooled to the ground at her feet. She stared blankly, trying to make sense of the whole situation. For a minute, she thought of a movie her sister had tried to get her to watch…
"Aww, poor Carrie!" The students mocked. "Covered in blood like her twin sister! Butcher!"
That was it. Carrie, Stephen King's novel. She began to shake now, letting what the kids were saying sink in. She ran for the nurse's office at the drop of a hat. Now she knew how her sister spent her days at school.
Sad and alone.
~Freddy Krueger~ Freddy Krueger~ Freddy Krueger~ Freddy Krueger~ Freddy Krueger~ Freddy Krueger~ Freddy Krueger~ Freddy Krueger~
Freddy began to pace back and forth his sanctum as he thought. This story was playing out much to his liking. He got to kill a bitchy Elm Street granddaughter, and Adeline still had three more people who would stop at nothing to get back at her until they were killed. The latter of which, he would have the pleasure of doing himself.
He watched annoyingly as Adeline sat on the couch eating chips and watching re-runs of some show called Glee. Freddy scoffed. Some help she was, he thought to himself.
But, if he ever got tired of her, maybe he would visit Adrianna. She's having trouble, maybe he could persuade her to kill for him. Nah, to risky, he thought. He lost a substantial amount of souls every time he switched bodies, and he needed to get stronger. Well, that doesn't matter. Adeline will find out soon enough, and bye bye, High School!
Freddy smirked as he continued to watch Adeline. Soon, after he infiltrated the dreams of children and adults alike all over the world, he would be able to kill her off. Unless she proved to be interesting enough…
~Adeline Bennett~ Adeline Bennett~ Adeline Bennett~ Adeline Bennett~ Adeline Bennett~ Adeline Bennett~ Adeline Bennett~ Adeline Bennett~
Adeline was sitting on the couch watching the news when Kaylie flew through the door. Kaylie slumped against the door for a bit and then hurried over to Adeline's side.
"Holy Shit Adeline." Kaylie whispered, while looking back at the door to make sure nobody came bursting through the door. "What the Hell's going on!"
"Freddy's going on Kaylie. Like usual." Adeline muttered, sipping a strawberry smoothie she had made. "He fucking beheaded Lindsey and mutilated her body."
"Well duh! Diane Willows has been on my tail all day trying to pry info out of me! I got out of that god forsaken school as fast as I could. Hopefully, I wasn't followed…" Kaylie stood up and dashed to the window, nobody outside. After she was satisfied, she sat back down again. "Seriously, I have no clue why they all found out about you so fast."
"Probably the work of the bitch squadron." Adeline sighed. "Chazz's dad owns the broadcasting company that Diane works for. Angela's mom is a Hollywood movie star. And Robert's mom and dad are reporters for the Times. How the hell can we compete?"
"Well…"
"Please do not mention that douche bag Freddy." Adeline groaned. "As much as I like the idea, I'll still feel like crap knowing that I led them to their deaths."
"Why would I even say that!" Kaylie squeaked. "You know me! Besides, that's just letting him win."
"I know." Adeline sighed. "I guess you're right. Maybe we shouldn't do anything and maybe he'll just go away…" She began to shudder when she felt Freddy's anger boiling up to the surface. She jumped off of the sofa and rushed into the bathroom before puking her guts out. Kaylie rushed in soon after, and started rubbing her back.
"It's okay…"
"No it's not!" Adeline choked out. She wiped her mouth on her mother's bath towel and stood up. "He'll kill me if I don't give him kids to kill!"
"You know what I think Adeline?"
"What!"
"Don't get mad. Get even." Kaylie stared into Adeline's eyes, hoping Freddy could see back. "Show that fucker whose body he's in."
Adeline's eyes began to flicker a bit. "Yeah. Let's show that asshole whose boss!" she yelled. Kaylie noticed her eyes began to flicker even more. Something was up.
"Adeline, are you okay-?"
Adeline suddenly grabbed Kaylie by the throat and slammed her against the wall tiles. Kaylie struggled to loosen her grip, but she held on tight.
"You are not going to interfere, you stupid bitch." A raspy voice came out from her throat. She began to smile wickedly, and laughed a bit. "I am in control, and there is nothing you two can do about it, so I suggest you don't coax little Adeline towards her death."
Kaylie nodded in understanding, and Freddy let her fall to the floor. Adeline stared down at her, tilting her head a bit as she smiled crookedly.
"Now listen and listen good Kaylie." he growled. "Make sure little Adeline knows that she's going to send me another victim tonight." Another smile crossed Adeline's face. "And make sure it is one of Lindsey's little friends."
Kaylie looked up at her possessed friend, and noticed something odd before nodding. Adeline's hands kept shaking, almost as if she was going to start convulsing. She sighed to herself. We still have time, she thought. He's still not strong enough to control her completely.
Suddenly Adeline collapsed onto the hard floor. Kaylie rushed to her side and shook her, but then realized that she was unconscious.
"So my theory was right…" Kaylie whispered. "God, I hope Adeline doesn't fall for any of his tricks."
~Adeline Bennett~ Adeline Bennett~ Adeline Bennett~ Adeline Bennett~ Adeline Bennett~ Adeline Bennett~ Adeline Bennett~ Adeline Bennett~
Hitting her head on the railing as she fell, Adeline was once again in the boiler room. Almost immediately, Freddy was leaning into her, his face close to hers, so that she would have to stare him in the eyes. His blades clinked in anticipation.
"I'm not going to keep you here for long, but let me give you some words to follow by." His light blue eyes stared her down ominously, as he touched his blades on her cheek. "Try to plot against me again and I'll slit your throat."
"Then why haven't you done it yet!" Adeline spat. Freddy growled, and then reached for the back of her neck and clawed downwards. Adeline coughed and hacked blood all over Freddy. He stared back silently, watching the blood drip. She had a chokehold on the collar of his sweater, trying to claw her way out. After a while she realized it was another cruel joke. She lightly pressed her fingers onto her throat, where his finger knives had penetrated her skin. Pissed off, she spat in his face.
"Asshole."
"You'll get it even worse if you don't bring someone tonight you little shit." He scowled, prying her hands off of his collar. His grimace turned into a playful smirk.
"Well, it seems that you're waking up, Adeline…"
Adeline jolted upwards, breathing heavily. The first thing Adeline noticed was that Kaylie was holding her forehead with both of her hands.
"You okay?"
"Yeah, I just survived a head butt from Sleeping Beauty." Kaylie grunted. "But just so long as you're okay."
"Sorry Kaylie…" Adeline sighed. "What happened?"
"He possessed you."
"Ugh. Why can't men just posses men! It feels so awkward being in my body after he fucked it all up." Adeline groaned, holding her head.
"Cause he's a pervert, plain and simple." Kaylie sighed. "You seriously didn't get any of the Freddy movies hidden meanings?"
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, hold up. There were hidden meanings!" Adeline cocked her head.
"You're not the brightest are you?" Kaylie sighed. "Like in the third movie where he turns into a snake and tries to eat Kristen? You didn't see any other meaning to that?"
"Why would I? It's a snake, big deal. Just like in Beetlejuice." Adeline yawned. She opened an eye and noticed that Kaylie was practically steaming in her fury. "God, I was just kidding! It's hard not to notice when they make it that obvious…"
"Ugh, you are such an ass sometimes…" Kaylie sighed and stood up. "I suggest we watch those movies again so that you know what you're up against."
"But I've seen them a million times!" Adeline groaned. "Why should I watch the movies when I have the real thing coming after me!"
Kaylie groaned and rolled her eyes. She dragged Adeline up into her room and searched through the cupboard in their small entertainment system. She finally hauled out the Nightmare on Elm Street boxed set with Nightmare Encyclopedia and placed it on the bed. She reached into the cupboard again and tossed Freddy vs. Jason on the bed next to the DVD set. Kaylie glanced back at her friend slumped on her bed.
"Where did you hide your comics?" Kaylie said, eyes narrowed.
"What do you mean?"
"You know how your mother is about comic books and manga, now tell me where you hid them." Kaylie watched as Adeline reached under her bed and knock a couple floorboards out, revealing a duct taped box.
It made a large indent on the bed when Kaylie went to open it. She sorted out the manga and Halloween and Friday the 13th comics until she found what she was looking for. She grabbed two comics from the depths of the box and tossed them next to the DVDs.
"Why those ones?" Adeline sighed. Kaylie smirked as she looked at her friend.
"You should be so proud of me Adeline! I was searching the net yesterday because of all of the Freddy crap, and came across a timeline for the whole series. Freddy vs. Jason vs. Ash is a legitimate canon, and took place five years after Freddy vs. Jason!" Kaylie squealed, feeling proud of herself.
"But Freddy said that Freddy vs. Jason never happened, so I don't think you could add Ash Williams to something that wasn't even started to begin with." Adeline muttered, as she watched as Kaylie sat on the floor in despair.
"Well, I'll read up on it to make sure we don't miss anything. Now let's just watch those movies already. I'm in the mood to see people die."
"I thought you hated him-"
"It doesn't matter right now. He's going down." Kaylie cracked her knuckles and put the first DVD into the player.
After writing this, I think I've done okay. And if you are disappointed for no (more) deaths yet, there will be one next chapter. I'm going to have to plan out his/her torture though, so I hope this tides you guys over! Please Review and thanks for reading!
