Ch. 30
My brows lowered a little, whether from sympathy or sadness I didn't know. Freddy flicked his blades at the mannequin, and clicked his tongue in irritation when the mannequin didn't move.
"Damn dream world…", he muttered, and dragged the mannequin down the hall. I followed him, and opened the door in the floor (which was now above us) when he asked. I went up before him, and helped him drag the mannequin up the ladder and into the room. We could hear Michael and Jason still fighting in the kitchen, but it wasn't as rough now. Jason must've been subduing Michael now.
Freddy laid the mannequin on the couch, and went into the kitchen. I didn't dare follow him, scared a little by his words.
I could hear him silently helping Jason finish subduing Michael, and then Freddy asked, "Michael, if we let you go, will you attack her?"
I couldn't hear Michael's response, obviously, but then Freddy sighed, and Michael came, slowly, down the hall, so they must've let him go.
Michael turned into the room, and froze when he saw me, his black eyes glistening with hate.
I froze, too, and my glove hand slowly clicked in fear.
But then the hate in his eyes subsided, and he went to sit on the couch. But he couldn't because of the mannequin, and pointed angrily at it when Freddy and Jason walked in. I went and hid behind Jason, just in case.
Freddy explained what he'd been trying to do, but he couldn't because his powers were useless in the real world. He then said that we'd all have to fall asleep in order to get to the dream world, where he could use his powers to make the mannequin come alive.
"But what about the other Freddy?", I whined.
Jason's and Michael's heads cocked confusedly at Freddy, until he explained that the reason I took him out of the dream world in the first place was that another Freddy, the 2010 one, was attacking us.
Michael cocked his head, as if to say, "What, you couldn't kill him?"
Freddy sighed, and bowed his head ashamedly, as he said, "She thinks I would've gotten hurt if she hadn't taken me out of the dream world."
I bowed my head too, ashamed that he thought so low of me.
"But together, we can get him out permanently.", Freddy said, excitement coming back to his voice.
I cocked my head cautiously. Freddy would never voluntarily fight with another being as long as he could kill himself. So why was he being so nice?
I would find the answer to that soon.
