The newest chapter of this story is here! You remember in the previous chapter that Freddy had attacked and killed Sid from the Ice Age universe, and he learned that he was next headed for the dream of Rachel Berry in the Glee universe. He means to kill her as successfully as he killed Sid, but will he be able to? Can Rachel survive her encounter with him, or will Rachel's singing be forever silenced? If you want to know the answer, there's only one thing you must do. And that's read this chapter.

THINGS TO NOTE:

This takes place after the fourth season of Glee, and as I do not count anything after Season 4 as part of the actual Glee show, this chapter therefore takes place post-series. What fifth season and sixth season of Glee? Like I said, post-series fic for how it takes place after Season 4.

I own none of the characters. They all belong to their respective franchises.

Freddy Krueger's Otherworldly Trips

Chapter 11-Facing The Music

Rachel Berry was going to bed, after having had a rather exciting and enjoyable day. You see, what had gone on that day was that she had performed beautifully in Broadway with various well known songs she sampled, and she had even managed to reconcile with Finn, albeit on the phone, after her performance, since that was when she got the phone call from Finn which led to that, by chance.

This, in addition to how it was a beautiful day in general, and things were really looking up for her. And now it was a lovely night, but though she had thoroughly loved how things had gone today and tonight for her, it wouldn't stay a lovely night for long. Because now that she'd gotten into bed following her washing up and getting into her pajamas after she got back to her home in NYC, she was about to fall asleep to something both unexpected and unwanted.

After she was in bed and sleeping, she saw nothing but blackness at first, but then she got to noticing that she was, somehow, on a stage of sorts in a high school very similar to the one she attended prior to moving to the Big Apple. She said: "Hey, where did I just go? Wasn't I in bed a second ago? Why am I suddenly on a high school stage, and one that looks a lot like the one that was in McKinley High, for that matter?"

But she then saw letters in the chairs of the auditorium this stage was in, one letter in each chair, and they spelled out from the very back to the very front of the seats: "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!" Rachel's jaw nearly hit the floor upon reading this, because she knew what that had to mean, much like any other teenager living in this day and age would.

"I'm having a dream…with Freddy Krueger in it?" Rachel gulped, suddenly scared, and she saw Freddy show up in the next instant, going: "You sure are, Rachel Berry! And right in the middle of a high school a lot like the one you previously attended, in the place you function best! Namely, on stage! It'll be like a melody, to say nothing of like a symphony, to kill you, bitch!" It was followed by him taking a swipe at her with his glove, but she managed to run out of the way.

It was only by a whisker she did this, though, and Rachel let out: "AAAAAAIIIIIEEE!" Freddy then sneered: "Run as much as you want to, Berry. You can't get away from me. This is a world of my making, under my control!" Rachel tried to run for the exit of the auditorium, but as you might expect, Freddy closed off all of the exits and told Rachel: "Case in point. All the exits are closed off now. You're trapped in this auditorium."

"NO!" Rachel cried out, but Freddy said: "Yes. I lie to you not." "Motherfucker!" let out Rachel. "One way or the other, I will survive and I will beat you, being trapped in this goddamn auditorium notwithstanding!" "Oh, stop it with the big talk, bitch. You don't stand a ghost of a chance against me and we both fucking know it." Freddy retorted.

He suddenly manipulated the curtains to fly out from where they were on the stage and elongate enough to snare Rachel, who went: "HEY!" and Freddy then said: "Or, to put it another way, it's curtains for you!" They wrapped around Rachel and constricted her, Rachel struggling to try and breathe and break free as Freddy also quipped: "How about a little squeeze play, huh, bitch? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

Suddenly, though, Freddy made the curtains fling Rachel into one of the chairs and said: "But if I killed you now, that would end our fun too soon! So I'm going to see if you can dance as adeptly as you can sing!" He teleported into the chair next to Rachel, reappearing with one of his hands, the one he had his glove on, to be exact, turned into a folded chair. He smacked her to make her fly onto the stage she'd been standing on before with it.

"I'll be the chairman here who sells you smack!" Freddy then said as Rachel landed. "As well as the one who judges how well you dance! Let's see it, Berry!" "Krueger, I am not going to do shit for your sick amusement, and…" began Rachel, but Freddy turned his right hand from a folded chair into a pair of giant scissors and said: "Would you care for me to start getting really fucking snippy with you, bitch? If not, I suggest you cut the shit and start dancing."

Rachel, seeing she had no choice, began dancing about, but Freddy turned his scissors to a glove again, only a much bigger version of his normal glove. And he extended it over to onto the stage on which Rachel was dancing and shifted the blades this way and that as so to cut her, and cut her they did. Two of them got a leg slashed each, another of them ripped open her back and the last one cut her up one of her sides.

Rachel fell down to the stage floor bleeding, and she screamed: "E-RAAAAAAAAA!" "Oh, my, did I just bleed you dry or what? I can be so cutting towards you that way!" Freddy let loose, laughing. He jumped onto the stage while turning his glove back to normal, then he raised his glove up into the air, pulling it back to finish Rachel off, and said to her: "And now, it's time for the grand finale here! Namely, the rubbing out of one Rachel Berry!" He turned his glove to a giant musical note and added: "Sorry, bitch, but you've hit a real sour note here, or should I say a real sour note hitting you?"

But just then, Rachel and Freddy heard the voice of Mercedes Jones and Jesse St. James cry out: "RACHEL!" in unison. Freddy turned to see who'd said that, and Rachel looked to see who it was. "Mercedes? Jesse?" she cried out, and Freddy said: "Ah, two new prey victims show up here unexpectedly! What a treat of extra meat!" Rachel cried out: "Your eyes don't deceive you at all! I don't know how you two got here, but this is Freddy Krueger we're facing!"

"Wait a second!" Mercedes cried out. "You mean to tell me that, after I fell asleep and Jesse obviously did, too, we ended up in your dream?" "And with Freddy Krueger attacking you in it? How did he even get here? He's fictional!" Jesse commented. "Yeah! How is he even here, much less hurting you?" Mercedes added.

"I ain't fictional anymore. I can go from universe to universe as I please now, and have gone to a lot of universes! This is just the most recent!" Freddy proudly proclaimed. "We have to help Rachel and stop Krueger!" Mercedes said. "I've seen the movies he's in, and this guy is one dangerous son of a bitch!" "Hey, most people have seen those movies, myself included! I know how much of a threat he poses, too!" Jesse told Mercedes.

"Be right with you, Berry…" Freddy told Rachel, and he ran over towards Mercedes and Jesse, going: "Okay, now that Rachel isn't going anywhere, which one of you two morsels wants to sample my power?" Mercedes punched Freddy and said: "We're not sampling a thing, but you sure are sampling blows from us, Krueger!"

"I don't think so, bitch!" Freddy told Mercedes, and he swung his sharp musical note hand at her while also making Jesse fly up and slam against the ceiling. As for Mercedes, she jumped back, but Freddy managed to graze her belly enough so that her shirt was torn open and her belly itself had a small cut on it, though she obviously managed to evade what he meant to do, which was gut her.

"Jesse St. Jackass really hit the ceiling when he saw I was more than you could stomach, Jones!" Freddy said to Mercedes as he turned the musical note back into a glove, and Mercedes replied to him: "Only you didn't eviscerate me like you'd meant to, and you aren't killing anyone, in this universe or otherwise, you bastard!" "Oh, but you should know, tubby!" Freddy told her. "I've already got some kills under my belt!"

He then made Jesse fall from off of the ceiling and onto Mercedes, making them both go: "OOOOOOOOOLLLLLFF!" "And I think that this asshole has just fallen for you! Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!" He subsequently made a spotlight shine down on both of them, going out: "And since you, St. James, have never been shy in the spotlight, I figure you're the perfect one to come out on top if it's a choice between you or her in terms of who I enlighten here!"

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" Mercedes and Jesse screamed as they felt a nasty blinding light in their eyes and also the burning heat of the light, but Jesse rolled off of her and Mercedes rolled in the direction opposite to the one Jesse did. Freddy would then go: "So, I see you're on a roll in terms of playing hard to get! Well, that's fine by me!"

He turned his glove into a mining drill and made his arm elongate so that, just as Jesse an instant later got back up and turned around, said mining drill bored through his thigh and put one hell of a hole in his femoral artery. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRGGGHH!" Jesse cried, and he fell to the ground bleeding badly.

Freddy then turned his drill into a giant axe and said: "OOOOOH, you screwed up big time there, St. James! Looks like someone's about to get the axe!" He brought it down and in doing so chopped Jesse in half, with Mercedes getting up just then and going when she saw what had happened: "Holy shit!" "Jesse's been killed!" cried out Rachel.

"Dammit, I'm no fan of that guy, but I would never wish him dead!" Mercedes said, and Rachel added: "Neither would I, even as he's done me so much wrong and broken my heart! If only I could get up to aid you against Krueger!" "Well, I'm sorry, but in your current condition, it's something you'll just have to watch me do on my own!" Mercedes told Rachel.

"Okay, then, looks like I know who the next one to fucking die is!" Freddy said as he had his axe turn into a microphone which he nailed Mercedes in the gut with, causing her to fall onto her back. "UNNNNNNNHF!" Mercedes let out. Freddy then put his microphone to his mouth a second before saying: "And so, for the follow up part of this performance, we taste some sweet, dark, fat meat! Any last words, Jones?"

He held his microphone to her mouth, and Mercedes spat: "GO TO HELL!" before doing a high kick that nailed Freddy in the chin. Unfortunately, Freddy then turned his microphone into the glove he was well known for wearing and slashed Mercedes first across the shoulder and then down the belly, causing her awful pain and bleeding.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAGH!" Mercedes yelled, and Freddy then told her: "Okay, for my bitch butchering to do here, I'll first see to it you never sing or dance again, and then it's the turn of my original target! And honestly, all you could say as your last words was telling me to go to hell? I thought a sassy girl like you would be classier than that."

"NO!" cried out Rachel, but before Freddy could deliver the killing blow, she woke up and so did Mercedes, with Rachel in her room in NYC and Mercedes in her room back in Ohio. Rachel said: "Mercedes? Mercedes? Where are you?" She looked this way and that, but she was able to tell that Mercedes was nowhere to be seen.

"Wait…I'm back in my room? I must have woken up! And Mercedes must be awake, as well, and in her room back in her house in Ohio! I'm alive, and I didn't see Freddy kill her, so I think Mercedes is, too! But there's no time to waste! I've got to call Mercedes and find out how we're going to deal with this new threat!" Rachel said out loud as she sat up in bed. "But wait! I did see Jesse get killed, so that means…OH, MY GOD!" Rachel looked at her wounds and said: "He's dead. He's gone. Even as I hate I'm, I'd never…but no time to think about that!"

She subsequently let out: "I've got to find a way to get all of these wounds treated and get a hold of Mercedes! This can't go unheard of, dammit! But what the hell am I going to do? There is no way I can walk in my current state, and even though there's a cell phone within my reach, I have to stay here until someone can help me get to a doctor, and that's before going into how to deal with the way Krueger made his way into this universe! I've never had so much to do before with so much at stake!"

Meanwhile, in her room, back in her house in Ohio, Mercedes said: "What the? Rachel? Where the hell did you go?" She looked around her room, but couldn't see Rachel anywhere. It made her realize, as she put into words: "Hold on a moment! I'm in my room, it seems, so I have to have awoken! Since I woke up before Freddy could kill me, Rachel must be alive, too, and I'd guess she's awake in her New York home just now! But I saw Jesse die in my dream…OH, MY GOD! Jesse's dead! I may not like him, but I'd never want anyone to be murdered!"

Mercedes got up and looked at the wounds she'd received from Freddy in her nightmare, a second before going: "I need to call Rachel and let her know about all that's got to be done, be it doctors to help with our injuries or the way that Jesse has been killed and that's not going to go undiscovered. And let's not be forgetting how we have to find a way to combat Krueger, since he's now made his way from his universe into ours!"

She ran to her cell phone and went: "UUUUGH! Even on the days I had the most work from school to do, I never had so much to do and so little time to get it done!" And as Mercedes went for her phone, by chance at the same time as Rachel went for her phone, even if it was in two entirely different places, now that they'd woken up in their respective homes, plus Jesse's remains rotten and bled in his own home, Freddy left the Glee universe and reentered his own.

As always, he made his way into his boiler room throne room in dreamland, and at this moment, he had mixed feelings about what had happened in the dream of Rachel Berry, and later of Mercedes Jones and Jesse St. James. He was saying: "Damn, am I a man divided just now! On the one hand, I did make a kill, that of Jesse St. Jerk, and it felt real good to do it, too!"

He smiled, but then sighed, and said: "But on the other hand, I wanted to kill all three of my victims in that dream, even if I was originally trying to kill just Rachel, and she survived, just like Mercedes did. Damn, damn, damn! That pisses me off, the way I only get one outta three of my targets when I wanna make it three out of three!"

He looked to his orb and said: "But there's always my next of universe trips to cheer me up, especially since I can see no reason why I won't be even more successful than I was this time out! Time to get the knowledge of where I'll go next from my orb!" He walked over to pick up the orb and told it: "All right, my orb friend, I want you to make it clear to me who it is I'll be going into the dream of and what universe I'm going to enter in order to do so!"

The orb did its usual routine, and when it made it evident to Freddy which universe he'd next be headed for and whose dream he'd enter, Freddy said: "Well, what a doggone surprise I'm treated to! I'm going to the Balto universe and entering the dream of two dogs, the ones who go by the names of Aleu and Dusty! Time for those dogs to find a new way to play, and one which will see to it I'm their master till the day they die, which is the day I meet them, too!"

Freddy advanced through the portal the orb gave him which led from his dreamland into the dreams of Aleu and Dusty, and since he killed animals as a kid and had a particular liking for killing women, it was a real treat for him to go after two individuals who were both animals and women.

What was going to happen to Aleu and Dusty? Would they live to see another morning, or would Freddy see to it that Aleu didn't outlive her parents and that Dusty's sled team would be minus one member?

Well, you'll find out the answer in the next of chapters, seeing as how Freddy was now on his way into their dreams and fully intent on putting them through pain before delivering an utterly cruel and grisly death their ways. So stay tuned for the chapter succeeding this one!

END OF CHAPTER 11

So, how did you guys like it? Yeah, I decided that I would factor in the way that someone can be sucked into the dream of a sleeping Freddy opponent and be made a Freddy opponent themselves to have it so that Jesse St. James and Mercedes Jones were also part of the dream battle Rachel had with Freddy, the former finally getting his just desserts as he became Freddy's latest victim, even if the two girls thankfully survived.
