An owl hooted lowly in the pine tree, it's eerie call ignored by the burnt man below. Sitting quietly in the old plastic chair was Freddy, his steely eyes glowering over the lawn. It had been three days since Jason shrank and the feeling didn't leave. In fact it got worse, it made him nervous. Now he could barely sit still without jumping at a noise or watching for things that could go bump in the night.

Heavy footsteps crunched to his left but he didn't so much as glance over to know who it was. Jason trudged around the corner in a slow and grudging pace. His head was low and swung with everystep as if he had no strength left to hold it up. Not surprising seeing as he hadn't any sleep in the past couple nights. Spotting the burned man he grumbled his report before heading towards him wearily.

"Didn't see nothing hey?" Freddy sighed as he scratched the side of his head. Jason had felt the powers too and began to make rounds every night. It was all the confirmation Freddy needed to know something was wrong. A deep sigh was pulled from Jason's chest as he walked over to the steps and sat down. They sighed in unison as they silently agreed on something. They hated this.

"What's going on? Are you two okay?" Tashi's form appeared in the doorway, her face frowning with concern.

"Yeah, we're fine. Just enjoying the moon." Freddy lied. No point riling her up when she didn't need to be. Jason whistled in agreement, his body moving in a cheerful wave.

"You're a bad liar." she said flatly. "Both of you."

"Hm? Why the hell do you think that?" Freddy snapped angrily. "Can't we just damn well enjoy the moon?"

"Sure, if it was in the sky." Tashi said dryly pointing to the moonless night sky. Freddy grimaced and Jason looked up silently and let out an embarrassed grunt. He started to get up but fell back down again with a sigh. His body shifted a little before he heaved upwards again this time standing with a little stagger.

"What's going on with you?" Tashi made a dash down the stairs as Jason teetered on the spot.

"Nothing's wrong with him. He's just tired." Freddy grumbled.

Tashi looked from him to Jason then back again. Confused as she was she gently took Jason's arm and helped him up the steps. She grimaced at the smell of rotten flesh but held her breath instead. He chirped his thanks but the effort seemed gone. Freddy sighed as he got up and gave him a gentle prod with his finger, feeling the nudge he looked over wearily.

"Come on dumb ass." He grunted. "You're getting your zombie ooze all over her pj's."

Jason hesitated before raising his other arm, watching the burned demon suspiciously. Grumbling he huddled under his arm and pulled him up the stairs. Tashi frowned at their backs. They were hiding something and by the looks of it it was dangerous. It scared her badly, and their spooked behavior made it worse. In the distance a chattering skunk wandered by, it's huge bulk heaving.

Leaving it without much thought Tashi turned and started back in the house, not noticing the pair of gleaming red eyes in the reflection of the glass. Even when she glanced back nervously she didn't see the monster that hid in the grass. Yet there it sat, waiting silently for the moment when all was quiet so it could move once more. From the trees another sat crouched. Both enemies but choosing to ignore the others presence. They had a job to do.

Inside the house Jason moaned deeply, his strange weariness upsetting. His nerves were on end but he couldn't find the enemy. It was frustrating. Freddy growled at him in response.

"You're worse then a damn drunk." Freddy complained irritably. Jason snorted before purposely throwing his weight towards him. Knocked off balance Freddy staggered as he tried to keep his footing, but with the slippery floor and Jason's 260 pounds he plummeted to the ground.

"JESUS!" He shrieked smashing into the ground.

"Graw..." Jason groaned.

"Shut up! It's your damn fault!"

"Graw..." he moaned and went limp effectively crushing the demon.

"GKDFJIEKAH!" Muffled and ununderstandable Freddy shrieked his curses at the snoozing zombie.

"Hey! Get a room!" Jason barely raised his head to look at the shocked trio of blondes. "We don't need to see this!"

"Doing wha-" Ashley stopped rubbing her eyes and stared at them dumbstruck. Pointing a finger in their general direction she screamed something unintelligible as she gaped in horror.

"YAOI!" Carrie charged in laughing hysterically.

"GAY DEAD GUYS!"

"THE UNCLES ARE GETTING IT ON!"

"WHAT IS THIS WORLD COMING TO?"

"SILENCE!" All hail the power of Tashi. Standing over them like a ruler over her people she glared at them sharply. "There will be no Yaoi in this house."

For some reason there was a trio of groans and none coming from the mortified short blonde. She continued to stare at them shocked. She slowly shook her head and turned and walked back out the door without another word. Another door closed and with that she went back to bed. They watched her for a moment before the sound of muffled swearing caught their attention.

"Get... this... mother...f***cking...a**hole... off... my... f***ing...back.." Freddy wheezed. Jason grunted his satisfaction before rolling off onto Carries foot.

"SLKDJFLDKJFIWQOJROIWEJRLSK KDJF LSDKJFIE LS!" She shrieked clutching her foot. Glaring at him past watery eyes she snarled. "THAT'S IT OLD MAN! YOU BROUGHT ON THE ULTIMATE FORM! GOOOOOO CARRIE ULTIMATE FORM! BATTLE APE MODE!"

Now, it wasn't a proven fact or anything but those in the room swore that at that moment Carrie grew in height and muscle as she roared and beat her chest while frothing at the mouth. Terrified but too tired to run Jason was promptly mauled. He wouldn't have probably survived had Ashley not waken up again and immediately reverted to her alto ego 'Scare'. Aka, Carrie and 'Scare' had the battle of the century and poor Jason was stuck in the middle. But that battle is for next chapter.
