*Chapter 9: Pillow Talk*
Judy is asleep with Karen in bed since she didn't want to sleep alone, fearing that Chucky might possibly come and get her. Thunder is heard outside, but Judy didn't care about it now, she is more afraid of the killer doll on the loose. Karen planned to contact Andy first thing in the morning since he hadn't come by yet. It's past 11:00 at night, and the girls couldn't wait any longer for Andy and the others to come with Marcus. That is until Karen's cell phone rang to wake her and Judy up. Karen turned on the lamp and answered her phone.
"Hello? Andy?" Karen said. "Oh, you're here? Okay, good. I'll be right down." She hung up and told Judy to wait in the room. After she left the room with her white robe, Judy got up to look out the window to see the car where her father got up with Jade, Jesse, Marcus, and Kyle. They're alive. Judy rush out of the room and look down the stairs to see everyone coming in. Karen is hugging Andy.
"Daddy!" Judy cried out and ran down the stairs and jumped on her father who picked her up.
"Oh, thank god you're okay, Judy." Andy said. "Marcus will be staying with you and grandma, okay? Jesse, Jade, and Kyle are staying too."
"But, what about you?" Judy asked. "You're staying too, right?" Andy stared at his daughter, he looked at Karen.
"Well...I guess I should stay the night too. But, I will be gone tomorrow morning. I have to help Mike and Ellie to find Chucky. You and the others are safe here." Andy replied. Judy smiled at him, feeling better that he will be staying the night. Karen made the Kincaids feel welcome and lead them to the guest rooms upstairs. "You should be in bed, sweetie." Andy said.
"Can I sleep with you?" Judy asked.
"Sorry, kiddo. I'm sleeping down here to keep an eye out. For safety's sake." Andy said. "Sleep with your grandma. Kyle and the others will be across the hall upstairs. You'll be fine." Judy nodded a little. Andy gave her a kiss on the forehead. "Off to bed, Judy."
"Goodnight, dad."
"Goodnight, Judy. Sweet dreams." Andy watched his daughter go upstairs. Kyle sat on the couch. Andy came over to sit by her. "You should be in bed too, Kyle. You look tired."
"You sure you'll be fine down here, Andy?" Kyle asked. "I could-"
"No. I'll be fine." Andy said. Kyle shrugged and left Andy in the room to be up the stairs to get to bed. Andy rests his body on the couch, staring up at the ceiling. He thought if Chucky comes here, Andy will warn everyone and they have to move elsewhere.
"Is Tiffany Ray in? Phone call for Tiffany Ray!" A bartender says by holding the phone. A blonde hair woman got up from her seat and came over to the bar, smirking at the bartender. She took the phone.
"Hello?" She answered in a sweet, girly voice. "This is Tiffany Ray. Who's calling?"
"Tiff, it's me." A voice replied on the line. Tiffany chuckled.
"Oh sweetface, I was teasing. So, did you get your revenge, Chucky?"
"Andy and his bastard friends are in the way, because he's got a kid! Judy Barclay. She's the one I should be after to slow Andy down and revenge will be fulfilled!" Chucky said, making a groan. "Tiff, this could take a damn while for me to get to them."
"Look, Chucky, it's been months for you to find Andy, and now you will never come back to me and the kids. Our kids are in the academy and Glen keeps calling for coming home in Hollywood, and I have to be in a new movie since I am...Ms. Tilly." Tiffany says by whispering the last part so the people in the bar won't hear her. "I only put you back together for a reason, Chucky."
"Let's talk about this later, Tiff!" Chucky snapped on the line. "I'm wasting time here, and I'm waiting for the victims up in the bitch's house to sleep. I gotta get that kid of Andy's. Kiss kiss." Tiffany heard a click on the line. He hung up. She gave the phone back to the bartender and returned to her seat and took a drink.
"The clock is ticking, Chucky." Tiffany says as she look at the clock. "Be quick if you ever want to come back to us."
Chucky got through the basement window, and land on the floor. The basement is dark, and quiet. Chucky looked around for the stairs to get up in the house. He quietly walk up the steps and reach up the doorknob until he found out the door is locked.
"Shit." Chucky hissed. "How the fuck am I gonna get in the house?" He turned to look around the basement to find something to break in without waking his victims. He found a hair clip on the floor by the laundry, and he could pick a lock to in get in the house. He picked up a clip uses his knife to make the ends sharp. He hasn't done this kind of thing in a while. He learned the lock picking from Tiffany when they were young. Chucky picks the lock, and the door opens.
'I'm in. Thanks Tiff.' Chucky thought with a smirk. He walk through the kitchen to get to the stairs to find Judy. He is unaware that Andy is sleeping on the couch in the living room. The doll quietly walked up the stairs and there is a room that leads to Karen's bedroom, the other across from it is a guest room, and the other down the hall is the second guest room, and a bathroom.
"Gotta find the kid and have to kill her quietly." Chucky whispered. "But, what room is she in?" He hears creaking noises, and Chucky hid in the shadows. There is Judy walking down the stairs, but she hadn't notice Chucky there watching her. "Why is she awake?" He wondered, but he looked at Judy's face as she turns to the bottom of the stairs, her eyes are half closed. "She's a sleepwalker?" Chucky asked. "Hmm. I think I got an idea." He went downstairs and got in front of Judy who is still walking in her sleep, but she walk pass him without speaking. It's like she didn't notice him at all. She's sleep walking alright.
"Judy?" Karen's voice called from upstairs. Chucky cursed and rush behind the staircase. Karen got her robe on and look around for her granddaughter. "Judy? Sweetie?" Karen spotted Judy walking towards the kitchen. Karen rushed over her and gently grab her shoulders without waking her. Nobody won't dare to wake up a sleepwalker or else... Karen slowly guides Judy up the stairs, using a quiet voice. Chucky watched in silent as they walk up the stairs, and saw someone sitting up on the couch, he hid behind the staircase again.
"Mom? Is that you?" Andy's voice called in a tired voice. "Is Judy okay?" Chucky can hear his enemy walking upstairs.
"Andy is sleeping down here, huh? Well, guess I have to put him to sleep forever then..." He says by walking in the living room and found a cup of water on the coffee table. "Hmm..." Chucky wondered, forming a smirk.
Karen is tucking Judy in bed as Andy came in, but Karen puts her finger over her lips. Judy is sound asleep in bed, not even waking up. Karen came over to her son and told him that his daughter was sleepwalking.
"Has she ever done that?" She asked.
"Not in a while. At least she's okay..." Andy said, hiding a yawn. "Well, I thought I should check, because I heard you."
"Okay, thanks. Well, since I am up at this hour of night, I should a glass of water. My mouth is dry." Karen says by leaving the room with Andy. They head down the stairs to get to the kitchen, and found a medicine cabinet half closed. "Andy, did you take something out of there?" Karen asked by closing the cabinet. Andy shook his head with a funny look.
"No."
"Well, then who would..." Karen stopped as a thought came to her mind. Andy stares at her in silent. They are thinking of the same thing. "...He's here, isn't he?" Karen whispered in fear. Andy turned to the living room and turn on the lights, he looked in every corner. No one there. Karen is looking around the kitchen, each cabinet, the pantry, and she saw the basement door. Halfway closed. "Oh god..." She whispered. "He picked the lock." She heard Andy coming in with his glass of water that is not clear...and the smell isn't right.
"He's here. He puts something in here, to poison me." He says. Karen covered her mouth. Andy poured out the poison drink down the sink. "We have to think fast, he could be anywhere in this house." Andy whispered. "He tries to slow us down."
"I'll be upstairs with Judy and the others. I'll wake up Jesse, Jade, and Kyle. They need to know about this." Karen whispered back.
"Don't scare the kids either. Judy will be freaking out." Andy said.
"She'll know what's going on, Andy. She knows Chucky is after her, and-" A scream is heard from upstairs. Not Judy's, Jade's.
"Oh shit." Andy growled and rush upstairs as Karen followed. Jade ran out of the bathroom and went behind her husband who is half awake. Kyle peeked out of the room of hers. "What is it? Where is he?" Andy asked.
"Look!" Jade pointed at the bathroom floor to see a rat there by the tub. Everyone let out a sigh. A sigh of relief.
"Oh, god..." Kyle said. "You scared the shit out of us, Jade. Thought it might be Chucky."
"Jesus, Jade." Jesse said. "Don't do that again if it's nothing." Jade took a breath and nodded.
"I'm sorry. I was jumpy...I just...hate rats." Jade said in a quiet voice. Karen came back with a bag to catch a rat to put it out. Judy woke up to see her father coming in.
"What happened?" Judy asked in worry.
"It's okay. It's just a rat, sweetie." Andy said. "Go back to sleep. Everything's fine." He gave her a kiss on the forehead and left the room. Judy yawned a little and closed her eyes. Little did she know, Chucky is under the bed, waiting for a right moment to lock themselves in the room, so Chucky will have a chance to kill the innocent girl. Everyone else went back to their rooms to get back to sleep, and the only light is on in the hallway. Chucky silently crawls out under the bed and closed the door and locked the door.
"No escape this time, little girl." He whispered. "Your friend til the end is here..."
Karen threw out the rat at the trash outside and Andy is by the door with a flashlight. They have to search every inch of the house, including outside. Karen will search inside the house, and Andy will search the front yard and backyard in case Chucky is hiding out. But, they are unaware that the killer doll is in the house with Judy.
"Come out, you son of a bitch." Andy whispered.
"Andy, is that you?" A voice asked from behind. Andy turned around to see a man there. An old friend.
"...Ronald Tyler?"
Judy felt something on her stomach, she tried to move, but she felt her wrists and ankles tied up. She opened her eyes and see Chucky's evil smirk. She wanted to scream, but her sounds are muffling through the socks in her mouth.
"Hello, Judy Barclay." Chucky greeted. "Welcome to your nightmare..." Judy muffled more, and struggling in bed. "Don't fight it, sweetie. I told you, we're friends til the end. It's time to play." He took out a knife, making Judy whimper, and her tears are forming in her eyes. Chucky slowly strokes her cheek. "Aww, don't cry, sweetie. This won't hurt a bit." He says as he raises a knife, getting ready to stab Judy who shuts her eyes. But they hear the door knob turning, but whoever it is can't come in the room. Knocking is heard, and Karen's voice is heard.
"Judy? Judy, open the door. It's me, sweetie." She said. Judy muffled loudly, but Chucky placed his hand on her neck to keep her quiet. A tip of the knife is pressing against her cheek. "Judy! Open the door!" Karen says by knocking on the door. Chucky snickered a little.
"Your granny won't save you, Judy. She will be with you after this..." Chucky said as he guides his knife over to Judy's throat. The door is kicked open by Jesse and saw Chucky turning to him.
"Get off her!" Jesse hollered as he rush over to the bed, but Chucky rolls over to avoid the man. Karen came in to untie her granddaughter. Chucky slices her ankle to make her yell and fall on the bedside. Jesse looked under the bed to see the doll by Karen's feet. "Get away from her!" He yelled. Chucky only smirked at him. Judy got her hand free and try to untie the other. Kyle came in to see Karen's ankle bleeding, Judy tied up, and Jesse yelling at Chucky under the bed. Without saying a word, Kyle went by Judy to untie her wrists and ankles.
"Are you okay? Did he hurt you?" She asked checking her niece who shook in fear.
"He tried to..." Judy replied as tears fall. "Aunt Kyle, where's daddy?"
"He's downstairs. C'mon, we have to leave!" Kyle says as she took Judy's hand, but Chucky tripped her by grabbing her ankle. Judy fell over too, but crawled away from Chucky. Jesse was about to stop the doll, but he got stabbed in the shoulder.
"You fuckers slow me down!" Chucky growled. Judy got her socks and shoes on quickly and rush out of the room to find Andy. Marcus watched her run down the stairs. He was told to stay in the room, but he wanted to know if Judy is okay. He shuts the door and locked it so Chucky wouldn't get to him next. He can't get in the way.
"Daddy!" Judy cried out. "Daddy!" She turned around to the front door that was opened by Andy and Ronald coming in. Judy cried out and embraced her father. "Daddy! He's here, and everyone is up there, and-"
"Shit." Andy muttered. "Ronald, go outside with her."
"Andy, what is going on?" Ronald asked. "Who's here?"
"A doll who tried to possess you once." Andy replied. He heads upstairs, but he ran into Jade. "You okay? Where's Marcus?"
"Jesse was stabbed on the shoulder, Karen was sliced on the ankle, and Kyle was almost stabbed, but I stopped Chucky." Jade replied, taking a breath. Andy ran by her to get to his mother's room.
"Are they okay?" Ronald asked. Jade nodded a little. "Well, we can't stay here. C'mon." Ronald led the girls outside. Judy grabbed her jacket before heading out. As Ronald got the car door open for Jade and Judy, they hear something from one of the tires. Ronald knelt down to see the back tire is slowly getting flat. "Goddammit!" He cursed. Jade and Judy also hear the other tires getting flat, and the car is Andy's. No one is leaving.
"Oh god..." Jade whispered.
"Dammit. That bastard is smart." Ronald said. "He's around here somewhere."
"I have to tell Andy." Jade said. She turned to Ronald. "Okay, since you know about Chucky, I want you to stay here with Judy. She's the target."
"Okay. I got her in good hands." Ronald said with a trusting voice. Jade rushed in the house. Judy is by her new friend. She is looking around for Chucky, but didn't see him anywhere. It's too dark to see anything. He could be in the shadows, waiting to attack. "We're gonna be fine." Ronald said. "I got ya."
"I'm scared..." Judy said.
"It's okay. I'm here. I won't let Charles get to you."
"Tyler. Long time no see, friend." A familiar voice said. Ronald turned around to see Chucky standing behind Andy's car, holding a knife. "You look the same as ever, Tyler."
"Judy..." Ronald said. "Run."
"What?"
"Run, now!" Ronald said, not turning to her. Judy turned to the street and ran. Chucky chuckled.
"That is the stupidest choice ever! You put a child in danger. Things are dangerous during the night."
"I won't let you hurt the kid, Charles." Ronald said.
"Stop fucking calling me that!" Chucky yelled as he took a step forward. Ronald came to him and kicked him across the driveway. He hears the doll curse and ran to the house to warn the others. Chucky sat up and rubbed his head. "Fucker!" He screamed. He turned to where Judy is heading. He will have to find her somehow. Where would a little girl go?
