Chapter 4: Everyone's Party

Saturday 14th March 1981

Ryan and Nick prepared everything; the table, the setting of the curtains and even changing the colours of the walls to how Steven wanted it. Nick looked more annoyed and exhausted then Ryan, but for two reasons. One, he wasn't related to Steven, and two he thought he had other, better things to do.

''You're slacking mate, come on keep up the pace!'' Ryan called out.

''I'm fed up with this. I should be doing other things''.

''Like what?'' Ryan asked.

''Like seeing his girlfriend'' A voice from behind Nick called. Nick turned to see his girlfriend.

''Hey baby'' He says.

''Hey sexy'' Nancy replies. They start to share a little (raw) moment until Ryan coughs, breaking them up.

''Not to spoil the mood, but we've got work to do'' Ryan states.

Nancy just walks up to him in a seductive way, she leans in and whispers in his ear ''Why don't you join us, I haven't tried two in me before''.

''Sorry but I don't swing that way'' Ryan said calmly, but deep down he was disgusted.

''Your loss...'' She says, then turns to Nick ''See ya tonight. You'll be seeing a lot of me'' She then walks off; Nick looks to see Ryan give him a look.

''What?'' He asks.

''How can you date her?''

''Oh come on she doesn't mean any of that stuff''.

''Really? She has got a reputation for a reason...''

''She lost her parents...'' Nick cut in.

''So did Steven and yet he remains loyal to Becky'' Ryan interrupts. Nick just remained silent for a second until...

''I'm going for lunch''.

Ryan wipes a bit of sweat of his face ''Me too'' And they both left leaving the room half-ready. But along with all the arrangements stood something else. Tabby, ready to put her plan into action.

Megan and Wendy were sitting in the park eating some chips and chicken (that looked like a badger) enjoying the magnificent sun.

''This has to be hotter than yesterday'' Megan said.

''Yeah. Where's Becky?'' Wendy asked her.

''I think she said she was visiting a friend or something, I can't remember''.

Wendy stared at her food for a second. She was thankful that the head injury wasn't serious and that she could have the bandage off. She would just move her hair aside to cover the mark. But that wasn't what she was thinking.

''Anything from Kristin?'' She asks to Megan.

''Not since her outburst yesterday. I want to help her but she just won't listen''.

Wendy didn't want to know anymore, Kristin wasn't getting any better. She looked across the street to see a familiar face.

''Hey Teresa, over here!'' Teresa looked over to see Wendy and Megan. She started to make her way over, and Megan was getting up to leave.

''Where you going?'' Wendy asked.

''Might check to see if Steve's around!'' She saw that Wendy was giving her a bit of a look.

''What?''

''You still aren't trying to win Steve back are you?'' But Megan walks away leaving Wendy sitting on her own until Teresa sits next to her.

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

''Doing better, thanks. How about you?''.

Teresa's head fell a bit. Nancy was giving her more grief before she left the house to come here. But she couldn't tell Wendy. What would she think?

''I'm fine''. But Wendy can tell she is not fine.

''Actually, Wendy can I ask you something?''

''Sure'' Wendy stated with a bit of curiosity.

''Well...if...what if...'' Teresa just couldn't get the words out. But she soon thought screw it.

''Wendy do you think that homosexuality is wrong?'' She got that out a little too quickly and Wendy was taken back a bit.

''Er...why do you ask?''

''Cause...I know someone...who is''.

Wendy thought for a moment, she didn't know how to put this ''I think, it depends on the feelings between the two''.

''Really!'' Teresa said enthusiastically.

''Yeah, although I'm not gay so I don't exactly know how it feels''.

Teresa heart seemed to scrunch up in her chest. It felt like Wendy just forced her away.

''I mean...'' Wendy continued ''Like I said I'm not...so I can't tell. But I'm sure that this person will find someone...''

''I'm not so sure'' Teresa whispered as she got up and walked away. Wendy started to call her but Teresa just picked up her pace, tears starting to flow from her eyes.

Weasel flipped the coin over and over, but no matter what he picked the coin would always land heads when he called tails, or the other way.

He looked up to the sky ''Come on, can't you let me just have a little luck for once. Heads'' He called. He flipped the coin and it landed, but then rolled away. Weasel chased the coin as it was halted by a foot. The person picked up the coin and handed it to him.

''Thanks!''

''No problem'' Megan replied ''I was wondering have you seen a boy by the name of Steven Johnston anywhere?''

''He's kinda busy''.

''Busy?''

''Yeah...you know, you look like someone...do you know a Rebecca Starks?''

''Wait you know my sister!''

Then he realised what he had just done, he was talking to Steven's ex. He quickly turned to avoid a repeat, but Megan soon grabbed his shoulder, and fearing another Tabby pinch...

''She and Steven are planning a romantic date together today, West Springwood Park'' He gasped out.

Megan was shocked at how this street rat reacted to her grab. And that her sister was going on a romantic date with Steven, and without telling her. She let go and made her way for West Springwood Park. Leaving Weasel to stare at his coin.

''Steven...is going to kill me''.

''Hey come on don't peek!''

''You've got your hands over my eyes, how can I peek?'' Becky said as Steven blindly led her to God knows where. Steven lifted his hands, and Becky was gob-smacked by breath-taking sight. The room was surrounded by the colours of heaven. They sparkled and shone in the setting sunlight. And the table on the balcony was the perfect place for a sight of the park in the sun-set.

''You like it'' Steven asked. And got his answer with Becky's lips crashing into his.

''Oh my God, I love it. This is...'' Becky was holding back tears. And Ryan and Nick came over with the dinner, wearing tuxedos. Ryan looked to be enjoying this a lot more than Nick.

''Welcome Madam to the finest Johnston decor in the land. Will you be seated'' Ryan said his accent varying from French to Italian.

Steven and Becky were seated, while from behind the wall a waiting Tabby lurked, ready for Becky to move which will leave her to make her move on Steven. She just had to be patient.

Kristin was on her own that night. Typing away on her computer. The bags under her eyes were really starting to show, her breathing was becoming wheezy. How much more of this was she going to take? She couldn't eat, she couldn't sleep; she felt powerless.

RING! RING! The house phone began to ring, and Kristin quickly closed down whatever she was writing (must have been important). She got up drearily and walked over to the phone, and answered it.

''Marbaker residents, who's calling?''

''Is this Kristin?'' She heard a very familiar male voice ''Ah, hello Kristin!''

Kristin's thoughts were telling her to just put the phone down.

''Enjoying yourself!'' Freddy taunted.

''Listen, I think you have the wrong number...''

''I know I have the right number Kristin. I don't like the way you left without a proper introduction''

''Sounds like you don't need one. You already know who I am, how?''

Kristin listened as it sounded as if Freddy smelt something.

''That's Al décorn shampoo 1980 isn't it?'' Kristin's heart stopped. How could he tell...?

''Must be sad, all alone at your home...'' In blistering speed Kristin ran and locked all the windows and doors to the house. Peeping outside to see anyone.

Freddy continued ''Having no one to help you. Do you feel lonely Kristin?''

Kristin just kept her head down, not realising she was still holding the phone to her ear.

''I never fell lonely...'' Freddy said ''I know all children's hopes and dreams. What they want...what they fear. I am never lonely...I have the children. One Two, I'm coming for you...HAHAHAHA''.

Kristin screamed and threw the phone to the wall; it shattered to pieces leaving Kristin to weep in the side on the corner, enjoying the peaceful silence that now feel apon her. That is until she heard a voice from outside...

''Three Four, Better lock your door'' It was Freddy's voice.

Kristin popped her head up and looked out the window again, but still not seeing him. But she knew he was somewhere.

''Five Six, Grab your crucifix'' She heard again. The voice getting louder, but from where was still a mystery to Kristin. She ran into the kitchen and opened a drawer where the kitchen knives where. She hesitated at first, the look, the shape of them, but eventually she got a knife. And stood, crying like mad; the fear getting to her as the rhyme continued.

''Seven Eight, Better stay up late'' Kristin frantically looked around; the voice sounded like it was being said right beside her.

''Nine Ten...'' And it stopped. The only sound was Kristin's breathing and weeping. She counted the seconds of silence. One...Two...Three...Four...

DING! DONG! Kristin jumped back and screamed at the sound of the front door bell. There was no sound from behind it. Kristin sucking up the last bit of courage she had slowly approaches the door. She takes small steps, closer to the door. She finally reaches it. She holds the knife up above her head and quietly turns the knob, she was ready to strike and...

''Kristin are you in?'' She heard Wendy call from behind the door. Kristin dropped the knife and quickly opened the door and leaped into Wendy's arms the tears flowing from her.

''Whoa, whoa Kristin what happened?''

''He came here, he was...he was...outside...he'' And that was when Kristin fainted. Wendy held on trying to hold Kristin as well as herself. She noticed the knife on the floor; she walked over it and helped Kristin back into the house. She placed Kristin onto the couch in the front room.

She picked up the knife walked into the kitchen to put it back; she then noticed the window was smashed. But what took her breath, was that the cracks were in the form of writing 'Never Sleep Again'.

Steven and Becky stood on the balcony watching the last bit of sunlight disappear. Steven noticed that a tear was going down Becky's eye.

''So then you liked this?''

Becky can only laugh, of course she loved it ''This is too much...''

''Nothing is too much. You deserve this; you're smart, funny, kind and extremely beautiful!'' Steven started to kiss down the back of her neck, Becky moaned in delight before turning her head to kiss Steven on the lips.

''Tell me...did you have desert planned?'' Becky said. They both laughed again and continued kissing.

Ryan and Nick were clearing away the table, that is until Nick dropped the plate and started walking away.

''Where you going?'' Ryan called.

''This is as boring as hell, I'm out of here''.

''What they've almost finished can't you...''

Nick cut in ''No they not almost finished, you know why? Because they have got something special planned for the evening and night. And I should be doing the same with Nancy''.

''Wouldn't call it special'' Ryan whispered. But Nick heard and walked up to him.

''What did you say? We're not going over this again are we?''

''Nick either that girl is going to get you in a lot of trouble some day, dump you any day now, or face a sentence. She is bad news, I can't even count the amount of times she's flirted with me let alone all the other boys in Springwood, and who knows, she's probably done more with them then talk...''

CRASH! The boys were cut out of their conversation as pots and pans were knocked down a few tables away from them, caused by Tabby.

''Hi boys'' She said knowing her jig was up.

''Tabby please leave'' Ryan politely said, with a hint of frustration.

''This is a free country''.

''But Steven isn't a free guy, now go...''

''BECKY!'' Another voice called out. Ryan and Tabby walked over to the balcony while Nick thought he would finally get some alone time, and sat down.

They came out to see Megan walk up to Steven and Becky.

''So you were going to see a friend huh. Bet you thought I wouldn't find out!'' Megan shouted.

''Megan just leave'' Becky said.

''NO! I love Steven!'' She turned to Steve ''I'm sorry about what I did, it was a mistake, and I want it to go back to the way it was...''

''Megan, it's too late...'' Steven said ''It didn't work out between us...''

''Think it'll work between us?'' Tabby called out. And then Becky stormed over to her and BAM! A punch to the side of her face. She would have given her more if Ryan didn't run over and hold her back.

''What the hell are you doing...'' Tabby cried ''My father will sue...''

''Screw your father!'' Becky screamed. And now Tabby was about to charge at Becky until Ryan ran over to stop her, while Steve held Becky back.

Nick heard the commotion going on from the other room.

''I am not getting involved!'' But then the noise seemed to just stop. Nick was a bit confused on how the fighting just stopped. He got up from the chair and walked into the other room. But instead of seeing the table and balcony, he was in a garden, where children were holding a birthday party. A woman with a cake walked by him; Nick saw the words the icing on the cake said...Happy Birthday Nick Lane.

He looks around and starts to recognise some of the little kids; old friends, relatives, he now remembers this was his 8th birthday party...his worst nightmare.

''Hi, kids!'' Nick turned to see what he feared; a clown. The clown that traumatised him for the rest of his life.

''Hey, do all want to see a magic trick!''

''YEAH!'' All the kids shouted. Nick couldn't make out what was going on. How could the kids love this? The clown was grotesque; he had no eyes, sharp teeth, knife fingers and a burnt face and costume, with green and red stripes.

''First I need a volunteer. How about...yoooooou!'' The clown points to Nick. Nick walks backwards shaking his head. He then phases through a small boy that seems to be just as scared as he is. This was the little boy that the clown was calling.

''Come on birthday boy...'' The clown then brings from behind him a small red and green box, with a handle on it.

''Spin!'' Nick was re-watching his birthday, re-watching himself walk up to the box and start the turn the handle. He thinks he knows what's going to happen. But he can't remember exact...

BOOM! A jack in the box springs out, causing the little Nick to run away. The little Nick runs right into Nick and disappears into him; as does the whole scenery. It changes to that of a kitchen.

Nick looks to see his little self whimpering in the corner. And the clown walks in on him and eyes him, Nick starts to get a very cold chill down his spin, and yet the temperature in the room seems to get hotter. The clown walks to little Nick.

''Don't worry Nicky; your parents are cleaning in the garden. So know it's just you and me!'' The clown then takes off his mask, and Nick sees a middle aged man with the look of the devil.

''Come to Freddy!'' Freddy walks up to the little boy as he cries for help. Nick can't watch this again; watch what this man did to him. He runs towards Freddy, but when he throws the punch it phases through him. And the scenery changes again, but there is nothing but utter darkness. And Freddy is no longer wearing his clown costume, but a red and green sweater with a cloak, a hat and a glove with four long knives.

''Come on Nick. Why don't we run off and join the circus...I DID AND IT WAS GREAT! HAHAHA!''

Nick punches Freddy in the face, but Freddy just shatters into pieces and the whole scene cracks around Nick like a mirror. Nick holds his hand in pain; bloody and shards of glass in bedded in his knuckles. He looks at the broken scenery around, watching circus performances going on. And the ring announcer talking to the audience...the announcer was Freddy.

Nick watches all the children watch his shows go on, just as Freddy watches them. And later at night, those children would dream of the acts again, but Freddy would twist them into their nightmares. The children scream for help, for their parents as their blood spills and their souls are ripped from their bodies and into Freddy. His laugh causing Nick to block his ears, but the laugh would just get louder and louder until...

SMASH! SMASH! SMASH! The whole scenery around Nick breaks apart like a broken mirror. But the pieces don't fall to the ground; they float and reassemble into body like shapes...clowns.

Six large glass sculptures stand around Nick, the light on their bodies (if you can call them that) are the only light; until a large stage light shines behind Nick he turns to see Freddy in his announcer suit and a microphone.

''Ladies and Gentlemen...''

''AHHHH!'' ''AHHHHH!'' The souls of the children screaming in the stands, as they thrash against the chains holding them to their seats.

''Welcome to the debut and final performance of our newest member, Nick Lane! And now without any hesitation...the juggling act!'' Freddy shouts to the crowd. And then he slowly walks out of the stage light, literally disappearing into darkness.

The glass clowns each take out a sharp shared of glass from their bodies and throw it towards one another. Each piece just grazing through Nick's body. Nick screams in pain, the shards each cutting deep but not serious. Freddy wanted him to die slowly.

SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! They each throw again and again it grazes Nick's body. He screams more, hoping someone will hear, but it was pointless. The shards are thrown over and over; cuts appearing everywhere as he starts to bleed to death. Now along with his screams another noise echoes around the stage...singing from the souls of the children around the stage.

''One Two, Freddy's coming for you.

Three Four, Better lock your door.

Five Six, Grab your Crucifix.

Seven Eight, Better stay up late.

Nine Ten, Never Sleep Again''.

''Hey Nick a little help out...NICK!'' Ryan screamed as he rushes over to see Nick shrugging in his chair, cuts appearing all over his body from nowhere.

''GUYS HELP!'' He screams again. And finally Steven, Becky, Megan and Tabby run in and stop dead in their tracks. Nick was slashed everywhere; his mouth split further apart, his eyes were slashed out, his throat ripped. Ryan was forced to move away and watch Nick cut apart at lightning speed. And then it stops, and Nick's body slumps to the ground leaving the group unable to say anything.

So what do you think so far? Scary or what? I think I've enjoyed writing this more than The Dream God because I was following someone elses script, but in this story I can use my own imagination and do what ever I want! Next time- Nancy takes her grief out on Teresa in the worse possible way, Steven and Becky are having hard times...and the whole group have their first battle with Freddy himself, will they all make it out alive?
