Happy Halloween! To celebrate this night of terror, I decided to post this very chapter and I hope everyone has a chilling time reading it. For added fun, try reading it in the dark….if you dare.
Disclaimer: I don't own Friday the 13th, A Nightmare on Elm Street, or Halloween.
Lori and Will arrived at the concert which was in a large gymnasium in front of the lake and found Danny, Dana, and Erika waiting for them.
"You're here right on time. It looks like they'll start any minute" Erika said. The group of friends walked into the crowd and watched as Kyuss started performing.
Demon Cleaner plays
The crowd all cheered as the band played and Lori noticed Stokely in the crowd. This surprised her a bit since she thought she'd be at home mourning for Todd or thinking about it logically; maybe she was there for the same reasons as them.
Still, Stokely could use some company and once she looked at Lori, she only smiled and waved at her before disappearing into the crowd. Lori sighed as she vanished and figured that she wanted to be alone which confused her even more.
Outside
Michael stood on a hill and looked down at the gymnasium. Having seen Lori and Will go into the gym, he figured that getting to her wouldn't be easy without revealing himself.
He looked to see a small number of stoners outside; namely Dirk, Donnie, and Charlie smoking weed as they listened to the music. Michael walked down the hill and waited for an opportunity.
Near the gym
Three stoners, Damian, Stephen, and Jackson stood outside the building smoking and they all laughed hilariously; the weed taking an obvious effect on them.
"This is rocking my head!" Stephen said.
"You mean the music or the weed?" Damian asked.
"I mean the weed!" Stephen laughed.
"Check it out." Jackson chuckled as he pointed to Jason standing in some nearby woods.
Ki-Ki-Ki-Ma-Ma-Ma
"It's a goalie." Stephen deliriously laughed as Jason began walking to the gym.
"Hey, goalie dude, the hockey rink in there is closed. Want a fatty?" Damian asked and Jason's head snapped in their direction before he began walking towards them. Despite his menacing walk, the three stoners just laughed and held up a spare bag of weed.
Before Jason could reach for them, he looked through one of the gym's window and spotted Lori standing next to Will. He cocked his head at his former would-be victim and stared at her before leaving Jackson, Stephen, and Damian alone.
"Wait, don't you want a fatty?" Jackson asked and Jason; not hearing him or ignoring him, had already vanished.
"He must be looking for his hockey stick." Stephen said as he took another puff of smoke.
"Yeah, poor guy must feel bad without it." Damian laughed as he and his friends returned to smoking their weed in peace.
In the gymnasium
The smell of weed filled the gymnasium as the teens smoked marijuana and despite all of the doors and windows being opened, not of the Kyuss singers were bothered.
"Hey, Danny, would you get my coat?" Dana asked.
"Sure thing, wait here." Danny said as he began walking to his car once he got out of the crowd and as he was in the parking lot, he didn't notice Michael standing nearby. The masked killer walked after Danny as he approached his car and opened the door to lean into it.
Meanwhile
Dirk, Donnie, and Charlie rested against a tree while smoking.
"Aw, man, we're out." Donnie said as they were out of weed.
"Don't worry; I always have more." Charlie said as he reached into his pockets and dug around until he found absolutely nothing.
"Whoops, I'm out." Charlie said.
"Well, we'll get some more." Donnie said as he stood up and Charlie followed him to their van while Dirk stayed behind. He rested on the tree and heard some rustling in the woods.
Ki-Ki-Ki-Ma-Ma-Ma
Dirk slightly sat up and looked around. He saw nothing nearby and rested against the tree.
As he looked up, Jason appeared above him and he; remembering the hockey-masked slasher from the cornfield the previous year, screamed. However before he made enough noise, Jason grabbed Dirk's bong and smashed it on his face.
The glass shards painfully stuck out of Dirk's face as it began to bleed and Jason quickly silenced him by pressing his boot against his head. Jason slowly crushed Dirk's head against the ground and the young man's screams shrank until he succumbed to the pain.
Thinking fast, Jason picked up Dirk's body and threw him through a window in the gym; throwing his body like he was a baseball. Dirk flew through the window and landed in front of the stage.
The band stopped playing and the teens all let out horrified screams before they began running out the gymnasium. Lori and friends couldn't believe their eyes at Dirk's body before they took off towards their cars while the Kyuss band members were led away by their security guards.
"Run!" Lori said as they took off towards their respective vehicle while Jason, who had retreated to the woods, watched and Freddy laughed at the panicking teenagers. He flexed his claws as he cackled maniacally and could barely contain himself.
"Not bad for a dumb dog." Freddy thought to himself as the teens fled and began to drive away in a hurry. Dana ran to Danny's car and found him sitting in the front seat.
She quickly opened the door and got into the car.
"Danny, we've got to get out of here!" Dana yelled and as she looked to Danny, it was just that she had realized his throat had been gruesomely slit. She immediately screamed and before she could even open the door, Michael rose from the backseat and thrust his knife into the cup holder.
Dana gasped as she managed to dodge the knife before it struck her leg and she quickly but frantically opened the door before the silent murderer grabbed hold of her. She practically tumbled out of the car and hit the ground before taking off running.
Michael remained in the car and watched as Dana ran. Dana ran as fast as she could before she found herself in front of a van and the bright lights nearly blinded her.
"Dana, hurry; hop in!" Will said while Lori and Stokely slid the van door open to let Dana in. Dana quickly got in the van as Erika pulled her in and Will drove away from the lake.
An hour later
Will drove away and Lori looked to the cornfield. The event reminded her of the massacre event at the rave the previous year and she noticed some ambulances there carrying someone's covered body on a stretcher while an elder woman cried on the porch.
She looked away from the sight and rubbed her eyes. Will gently placed his hand on her shoulder and comforted her while driving.
Erika and Stokely, despite not caring for Dana in the same fashion she did Will and Lori, comforted her as she cried over Danny and patted her shoulders. She figured that putting on her warm, caring façade would make them trust her even more.
"Will somebody tell me what the hell that was all about?" Stokely asked.
"We don't know anything either, Stokely." Lori said from the front side.
"Back in Danny's car, there was someone with a mask who tried to attack me from the backseat." Dana managed to say. Lori and Will's face grew pale at the mention of a dangerous man in a mask.
"Do you remember what that person looked like?" Will asked.
"I'm sure it was a guy and he had this white mask on along with these blue-gray coveralls." Dana said before Lori and Will's faces became pale.
"Did he have on a hockey mask and a machete with him?" Lori asked and Stokely prevented herself from rolling her eyes out of annoyance. Erika's face started to become just as pale as her friends at the possibility of Jason having returned to Springwood to continue his slaughtering.
"The first sign of danger and they automatically think it's that Jason-myth. Dumbasses." Stokely thought to herself.
"No, it was more like a Halloween mask and he had a large butcher knife." Dana explained. Lori and Will looked to one another. Both were skeptical on whether or not they should report anything to the police; given they've proven themselves undependable given the fact that they couldn't prevent Todd and Matt's murders from reaching the news.
On the other hand, the other concert-attenders were sure to report these events to the police and matters would only get worse. They sighed and continued on with driving Dana, Stokely, and Erika home.
Hours later at the lake
Coroners swept through the lake and placed Dirk's body on a gurney while they attended to placing Danny's corpse in the ambulance. Steven shook his head at the scene and pondered on what culprit could be causing so much carnage in just one night.
He noticed all of Donnie, Stephen, Charlie, Jackson, and Damian behind the yellow tape. Since they were the only teens that remained to answer any questions, he figured that asking them may prove essential.
"Did anybody see either one of these two before they died?" Steven asked.
"The last time I saw Danny, he was going to his car." Jackson said and Steven began writing down notes.
"Does anyone else have anything they'd like to share?" Steven said.
"Uh, well, there was one guest who we only saw once." Damian said.
"All right, did you know this person?" Steven asked.
"Uh, well, sir, we were pretty baked when we saw him. So, we only saw him once." Stephen said.
"Can you describe him?" Steven asked and Stephen began scratching his head.
"Well, all I can remember about him was that he had on this hockey mask and he was pretty big for a teenager." Damian said.
"Yeah, and the hockey mask had these red marks on it." Jackson added as Charlie and Donnie's faces grew paler than a sheep's wool.
"Wait a minute. Did he have a machete with him?" Charlie asked.
"Yeah, he was." Jackson remarked.
"Oh, man! Officer, I think it was a guy named Jason who killed Dirk and Danny." Donnie said.
"Wait, do you mean Jason Voorhees?" Steven asked.
"Yeah, that's him!" Charlie responded.
"Wait, what's he doing here?" Damian asked; he, Jackson, and Stephen being one of the few teens who hadn't seen Jason the previous year.
"Yeah, isn't he supposed to dead?" Stephen agreed and Steven shook his head. He figured that it was a copycat killer of the hockey-masked killer since he had heard many of them being sighted in Springwood, Manhattan, and Pinehurst in New Jersey (despite the fact that only the third location was accurate on the matter).
"All right, do you any of you have any way of getting back to your homes?" Steven asked.
"Yeah, we came here in our vans." Donnie said.
"Officer Carpenter!" Steven said to one nearby cop.
"Yes, sir?" Carpenter responded.
"Escort these five back to their homes and report back once you're done." Steven said.
"Yes, sir." Carpenter said and he motioned for the teens to move ahead. After receiving their respective addresses, he drove off in his police cruiser with Donnie driving his van with Charlie and Damian drove his van with Jackson and Stephen following him.
Steven looked around and another officer approached.
"Sir, we found some fingerprints in the victim's car that don't belong to him." The officer said and as she handed the fingerprints to Steven, his eyes immediately widened in horror and his heart began racing.
"Officer Lloyd, what's the matter?" The officer asked.
"I've got to get this to the Sheriff as soon as possible! File a report on the area once you're done." Steven instructed as he took off toward his cruiser and began heading towards the police station.
"Dammit, what is HE doing here?!" Steven thought to himself as he drove.
Elsewhere
Freddy cackled as he felt his strength return to him and Jason walked through the Springwood slasher rubbed his fingers together and flexed them.
"Time to test things out. Stay right here." Freddy said to Jason in Pamela's voice and as he vanished, he didn't notice the silent slasher was still walking forward.
With the survivors after Erika is dropped off
"Take care, Dana." Will said as Dana got out of the van in front of her house and Stokely did the same.
"I'll call you guys later, all right?" Dana said to Lori.
"All right, Dana. You and Stokely try to be careful." Lori said.
"Don't worry, we will." Stokely said before Will and Lori drove away. She walked Dana to her house and continued to pat her shoulders affectionately; making the other young woman trust her.
"Like I give a shit about this bitch losing her boyfriend. When you lose a guy, just find a new one and have fun with him until the next one comes around." Stokely thought to herself; making it seem like her relationship with Todd was nothing more than a sex-based one on her side and her only reason for being sad was that she wouldn't have any sex for a while.
Meanwhile
Lori and Will stopped in front of her house before going in; unaware that Michael was watching them.
"Dad?" Lori called out and there was no response.
"Mr. Campbell?" Will called out and still nothing. Lori looked outside and saw his car wasn't in the driveway. It was apparent that he was still getting Hypnocil and the young couple went to the living room.
Lori sat on the couch and Will wrapped his arm her before holding her close. She rested against him and he lovingly held her close.
"Thank you, Will."
"Don't mention it, Lori. The Last thing I'm gonna do is leave you by yourself." Will said and Lori smiled up at him.
At Westin Hills
"You know I don't approve of such actions, Dr. Campbell." Dr. Elizabeth Simms stated.
"Dr. Simms, listen to reason: my daughter says she has seen that monster in her dreams and measures need to be taken." Dr. Campbell replied; having spent the whole of the day discussing the idea of alerting all parents of Springwood to give their kids Hynocil as well to prevent Freddy from getting to them. But, the stubborn doctor insisted that such precautions were pointless and didn't want to hear any of it; despite it being legal for doctors of Westin Hills to supply Hynocil to their children.
"Dr. Campbell, perhaps you'd think it best that we'd give the whole world the Hypnocil, don't you?" Dr. Simms said and Campbell had enough.
"Look, Doctor, my only concern right now is the safety of my daughter and if defending her means putting my job at risk, so be it." Campbell said as he gathered a few bottles of Hypnocil and proceeded to walk away from the doctor.
"You're making a grave mistake, Doctor and I'll see to it that your actions have consequences." Dr. Simms said while Campbell left and he made no response. She huffed and headed to her office.
She began writing her report and after a while, she heard steam outside her door. Simms raised an eye and stood up from her desk.
Simms opened the door and found the sanitarium was filling with steam. She began walking down the hallway and found the building to be empty of both staff and patients alike.
She heard something creaking and looked around to see nothing. Simms saw a door with red lighting glowing and she suspiciously approached it; having never seen it before.
Simms opened the door and found herself in a red boiler room. She walked through the room and she wandered through the room.
She heard a scraping sound nearby and looked around to see nothing. Simms turned around to leave and found the door gone.
Simms began to panic as she couldn't believe the door to just be gone for no apparent reason and she resumed wandering the boiler. She looked around and saw no other door present.
She found an upstairs and walked up to the very top. Simms looked around and heard sinister cackling from behind.
Simms turned around and saw Freddy's silhouette at the ending of the railing. He flexed his claws and began tapping them against the bars as he slowly approached Simms.
"Who are you and what is the meaning of this?!" Simms said.
"I'm the man of your dreams, bitch." Freddy chuckled as he dragged his claws on the bars and made an ear-splitting scratching noise. Simms began to back away from Freddy as he walked towards her and he grinned deviously.
"Who are you?!" Simms shouted and Freddy chuckled as he held up a miniature version of Jennifer Caulfield with a burnt head. Simms's eyes grew in horror as she looked at the miniature and Freddy sadistically licked her burnt face.
"I couldn't have done it without your sedations." Freddy snickered and Simms immediately realized that the man in front of her was the dream man that all of her patients had been talking about. Simms looked back at Freddy and saw he had vanished.
She turned around and he grabbed her by the collar. He lifted her up and strangled her as she struggled.
Freddy laughed before hurling her over the railing and she quickly fell to the floor. As Simms fell screaming, Freddy pointed his index finger at her and her body began to be surrounded by ice.
Once she was completely frozen, Freddy watched as her body crashed against the floor and shattered into countless bloody pieces. He cackled loudly and wiggled his claws.
"Just what the doctor ordered." Freddy laughed as he looked down at where Simms had shattered and in the real world, blood completely covered the walls of her office and leaked out into the hallway.
Happy Halloween and what a chapter! As a Halloween treat for those reading these story, I named the three stoners after myself (yes, my true name is Damian), my friends Pyromania101 and Sketchfan; their names being Jackson and Stephen, respectively; though this chapter will be their only appearance to keep them from being on the slaughterlist.
This chapter leaves many questions like does Steven know about Michael's presence in Springwood given his reaction to seeing his fingerprints; now that Freddy has his powers back, what does this mean for Jason and Michael, and will Dr. Campbell have enough Hypnocil?
Also, you'll notice more of Stokely's character in this chapter and I revealed her traitorous personality. Like any horror story, she's a bitch but I made her to be different from other slasher movie bitches since she's pretending to be friends of the characters and I think many would agree its worse to act like someone's friend and insult them behind their back than to be outright mean.
I figured that Freddy's first victim should be the harsh doctor Elizabeth Simms from A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: The Dream Warriors since she didn't die in that movie and authority-type figures are normally supposed to be killed by the movie's main killer. To show Freddy's not pulling any punches or slashes, he's even going after the adults, too, though the more victims he has, I'm sure he'd be happy.
So long and once again, Happy Halloween!
