Chapter 3: Eight Legs of Terror

Friday 13th March 1981

Every day that went past in Springwood High, the atmosphere would grow intensely and increasingly tense. After Mora's death the fun and joy seemed to disappear from all the students. Deaths were not uncommon in Springwood, many of them were unexplainable. Becky was picking up her books from her locker for her next class; she couldn't talk to anyone without some kind of weary look or other things on their mind.

She closes her locker and sees Megan standing next to her.

''What is it?'' Becky asks.

''Just wanted to talk to you about something'' Megan says, she wasn't making eye contact with Becky and she was worried that something had happened.

''How close are you and Steven?'' She finally gets out.

''What?'' Becky said dumbfounded.

''You and Steven are close right?''

''That is none of your business''.

''Yes it is. Steven was my boyfriend first!''

''But if I remember correctly it was you that broke up with him!'' Becky stormed off, but was stopped when Megan grabbed her shoulder.

''And it was a big mistake. And I want to go back to the way it was just me and him...''

''Well it's too late. It's now me and him...''

Becky and Megan were brought out of their argument as kids started to rush past them, murmuring among themselves.

''Did you hear about Kristin...'' ''Apparently she was attacked...'' ''I heard she was held at knife point...''

Becky and Megan followed the crowd to see Kristin trying to walk past the crowd, but it was hard as some where blocking her path, asking her questions and spreading rumours. Steven stepped forward and helped Kristin move past.

''Okay everybody back off, just leave her!'' He shouted, but it was just falling on deaf ears. The students continued to try to get to Kristin. Becky and Megan stepped forward trying to help as well. But soon the crowd was starting to get the best of them. Steven, Becky and Megan were getting pushed back; that was when Kristin lost it...

''Okay...you want to know what happened!'' She screams. And the crowd grows silent.

''It was a man...a man that was something out of a nightmare. He had a glove with knives for fingers...he...he...he wanted to scare me with them, he loved every second of the fear I gave him. There is that what you want to hear'' And so Kristin sprinted off past the crowd, no one had anything more to say.

Wendy wasn't sure how much longer she was going to last; alone, with no mercy being shown to her, how could she escape this torture... Tabby going on about Steven again.

''Can you believe that...a date. Who would want to go on a date with that...that...THAT!'' She shouts causing the class to turn to her. But the crazed look in her eye turned everyone's attention back to the board.

''And it was worse that the flipping street rat got me mixed up with her, it is unfair that...'' BLAH, BLAH, BLAH this was repetition for Wendy. She had hoped to have Teresa as some kind of company to spare her from this, but she wasn't here. Soon Tabby's voice was a mumble, Wendy's sight went blurry to dark, her mind was buzzing and so she was drifting off into a nice comforting sleep...

SCREEECH! Wendy's head darted up waking her, or not as she looks around to see the whole class was gone. The tables were up-turned; the chalkboard was covered in claws marks, and the walls were made of solid dust there would hold there on, but a slight whiff of air would send some tumbling. Wendy slowly stands from out of her seat and she knocks her head off something hanging on the wall...the foot of a small girl hung.

Wendy gasps and stumbles back looking to the ceiling to see hundreds of small children hung by a rope from the ceiling that seemed to stretch for miles, even though the class was still the same size. Wendy ran out of the classroom and into the hallway.

She could just stand and look around; the walls were covered in blood stains in the shape of children's hands. Wendy knew this was a dream, it had to be; but this felt real, normally a dream would feel like watching a movie to her. But this was like she was in the movie.

''HAHAHAHA!'' Wendy turned to see a human figure in the shadows. She could make out this man had a coat of cloak of some kind, a hat, and a hand that looked like a claw.

''You're the one who attacked Kristin aren't you?''

The man stood in the shadows not saying a word; he didn't even seem to breath, he wasn't moving at all.

''I know this is a dream. I can do whatever I want to here. Including not being afraid of you...'' She stopped to see the horrific sight unfolding in front of her.

The shadow arched forward and was shifting into another shape; the metal screeching was growing louder. The claws seemed to extend and grow to her size, and they multiplied until they looked like eight legs. The man's body expanded into a huge blob, the cloak grew hairs as it emerged from the shadows. And what was standing in front of Wendy was no longer a man, but a large tarantula with metallic legs, and a piranha face and teeth.

Wendy was breathing so rapidly that it wasn't even breathing. The Piranha Spider approached her, as Wendy stood frozen in fear. An unnatural smile formed on the piranha's face.

''Run rabbit, run...RUN!'' He shouted, and Wendy took off like a bolt. She turned from one corridor to another but they all led to the exact same one outside her class. Hearing the screeching of the spider's claws getting closer she turned and headed for the staircase.

The staircase was covered in a brown like fungus, and there were maggots and other bugs flying everywhere. Wendy looks down to see that the stairs went on forever. She was about to lose it until she heard...

''They always run!'' The voice sounded like one of terrifying enjoyment, yet it didn't enter through Wendy's ears. It sounded like it was coming from inside her head.

''They never learn'' She heard the voice in her head again. As she concentrated she could somehow make out the voice was coming from the bottom of the stairs. She looked over now instead of endless miles of stairs it looked like it would normally. And Wendy breathed a sigh of relief that it was over...

''Are you reading my thoughts...you naughty girl, HAHAHA!'' Wendy looked at the top of the stairs to see countless amounts of spiders making their ways down the stairs towards her. Wendy started running down them, but it was hopeless they would catch her. Once she thought she was low enough she jump towards the bottom.

But instead of landing on the ground, she splashed through it. Wendy broke the surface and see saw that she was swimming on the school floor. The water looked like the ground, everything from the tiles, the bottom of lockers, and even the stepped on chewing gum looked like they would but moved and splashed like water.

She looked down the corridor to see the liquid floor turn black and move towards her. Wendy took a moment to stay afloat and saw that the ground wasn't turning black...thousands of spiders were swimming towards her.

Wendy turned to start swimming, but she somehow turned 360 degrees so she was facing the waves of spiders again. She turns again, but some kind of force keeps turning her the whole way round again. She doesn't know what to do; she couldn't do anything, just pray for a miracle. And maybe fate was smiling for her. As a locker start to rumble and move and it fell towards her. But it fell a bit to close as it just hit Wendy's head giving her a large gash with blood slowly coming out, and almost her whole forehead bruising.

She starts to climb onto the locker just as the spiders swim past her, but she is grabbed by the throat and lifted by Freddy standing on the locker. The second he grabs her, the ground turns into a river of blood; the corridor in a red light with Freddy almost unseeable except for his middle-aged face, and his claws stroking Wendy's wound on her head.

''I'm impressed. That's the first time someone has gone into my head. Too bad you couldn't make the most of it!''

Wendy was out of options now, all she could do was watch Freddy slash at her and wait for the inevitable end. Freddy's claw slashed towards her, and away from her...his claw phased through her head.

Freddy stands bewildered as Wendy starts to disappear in his hand. He knew she was waking up. He couldn't let this one get away, she somehow read his thought she could be a danger. He slashed again, but again it phased through her. And she was phasing through the hand holding her neck. She slipped through and fell into the river of blood. As she disappeared Freddy couldn't let someone who could read his thought get away, so he did what he had never done (or wanted to do) before...he erased her memory of the nightmare.

From the sight of Freddy standing in that hellish red setting, the next would be of the school's office. Wendy lifts her head slowly but is stopped as a soft hand is placed on her shoulder forcing her to lie back of the seat; she looks to see Teresa sitting next to her holding an icepack.

''Hey how are you?'' Teresa asks.

Wendy lifted her hand to feel that she had a large bandage around the whole of her head.

Teresa grab her hand ''Don't touch, you got a nasty one to the head''.

Wendy looked confused ''How did...?''

''We don't know. Apparently you fell asleep in class, and then you started shaking. Then you got a large gash on your head from out of nowhere. But thanks to Tabby's quick thinking, she woke you up and covered your wound with a part of her shirt''.

''Wow, remind me to never call Tabby rude again'' Wendy was actually shocked that Tabby helped her from...

''Wait...'' She said half to herself and half to Teresa ''You mean it really happened?''

''What really happened?'' Teresa asked.

''...I don't...I don't even remember'' Wendy closed her eyes, she could only remember the man, whoever he was he had taken the nightmare memory away from her. Wendy opened her eyes and turned to Teresa, only then did they realise Teresa still held Wendy's hand, and she was holding it tighter. Teresa quickly let go and turned away to hide her blush.

''So how are you involved in this?'' Wendy asked.

''I...eh...work with the school nurse''.

''Cool'' Wendy said. Teresa placed the icepack over the bandage where her wound was. Wendy felt safe again now that she was with Teresa, for some reason she felt something towards her she had never felt before. Whereas Teresa had felt this many times over, but could never tell.

From outside the office, a worried Tabby paced back and forth. Steven came rushing down towards her.

''How is she?'' He asked concerned.

''They won't let anyone in at the moment''.

''What happened?''

''I don't know. One moment she's asleep the next, she's jerking and groaning and then some fat gash appears on her forehead''.

''What do you mean appears?''

''I mean the kind that just appears, what do you think I mean?'' She screams at him. Steven was shocked by this, he knew from the rumours how much she fantasised about him, but the fact that she was more worried about other things than him was a relief. He decided to leave her, thinking that maybe she does have a heart.

Tabby watched as Steven walked away. In one part of her mind she was worried about whether this had anything to do with Mora's death. And the other was for her plan to ruin Steven and Becky's little date.

So Wendy lives to dream another day...or night! Next Chapter- Steven and Becky's date, Kristin has another little encounter with Freddy. And another life is claimed by Freddy...who you ask? Wait and find out!
