Dark Dreams

Chapter 9: Like father, like son.

"So you ARE real" Chase looks up at the dream demon, almost not believing his very eyes," you died".

"Do I look dead to you?" Freddy smiles, looking down at his son.

"Can you, get into people's dreams outside of Elm Street?" Chase asks, curios as he just stares at Freddy's claws.

"If I have a strong enough connection" he walks around Chase," you've really grown up to be a REAL man, maybe one day you could take my place in the dream world, teach everyone on Elm Street that they can't kill what is already dead".

Chase looks around the boiler room, then back at Freddy," this is where they killed you?"

"They burnt me alive, son" Freddy picks something up, hard to tell in the darkness, but then walks over to his son, giving him that claw glove that's been following him around," try it on, one size fits all" Freddy chuckles.

Chase takes the claw glove, and puts it on his right hand, looking at it, a smile crossing his face," it feels..........great".

Freddy whispers in his ear," I want you to make this small town pay, bring back more fear. I want to see what you can do, my dear boy. I know you have alot of potential behind those blue eyes of yours, you remind me of myself, except you breath" Freddy laughs.

Chase then looks at his father," how do you become a dream demon?"

Freddy's smile disappears," you don't want that, not just yet. I was chosen".

Chase puts a smile on his face," don't worry dad, I won't let you down".

"1.......2..........He's coming for you" the children appear right behind them, jumping a rope while singing Freddy's signature song.

"That's my boy" Freddy smirks, tapping his head with his claws," this town won't be safe awake, nor asleep." Freddy chuckles,"  I want you to find a certain someone......don't kill him, just put him to sleep. He goes by the name, Jacob Johnson. His girlfriend, Holly, recently had a very HOT and EXPLOSIVE accident".

"3......4..........better lock your doors" the children continue to sing the sadistic song.

"I've ready about Alic and Dan, she had some sort of dream power the papers reported, but I never really believed them" Chase t hinks to himself, turning back to Freddy," Jacob was the baby".

Freddy pats his song on his head," good boy, you know your history" and bends down, staring up at him," now go fetch me some souls, you're a true Krueger, don't disappoint".

"Consider it......done" Chase looks down at his father.

"Make sure Springwood pays for their sins" Freddy laughs in the background, as everything turns to darkness, Freddy getting farther and farther away.

"5.......6...........better grab your crucifix. 7.........8.....better stay up late. 9, 10, NEVER SLEEP AGAIN".

Chase wakes up behind a dumpster, looking around sweat pouring from his head, wondering if that dream he had was really real," ouch" something sharp stabs him in the rib, as he moves around on some trash bags.

"What are you doing there, mister?" A little boy stands there, staring at him.

Chase looks at the little boy, as he tries to find the thing that stabbed him," just resting".

"Are you a homeless person?" The little boy asks him, curious.

Chase pulls out the claw glove, not taking his eyes off of it, a smile crossing his face remembering what Father Freddy asked him to do for him, a chill running up his spine.

"What is that?" The little boy points at the claw glove.

Chase turns to the little kid," just some unfinished business I need to take care of" he gets to his feet," do you know a Jacob Johnson by any chance?"

"The nice man?" The little boy responds.

"Huh? Is the nice man's name Jacob Johnson?" Chase asks.

"Yeah, he's at the old Krueger house. He gave me some money for food" the little kid looks at the claw glove," why? You're not going to hurt him, are you?"

"No" Chase smiles, trying to hide the claw glove from the kid's view," I'm just going to have a little talk to him, after all, his girlfriend recently blew up like a balloon" he walks off from sight.

The kid stares after Chase, shaking his head," he doesn't look like a really nice man" and slowly turns his head to the place where Chase was, a shadow figure appearing on the trash bags, and a brown hat sits there, a weird face melted into it, the kid turning around and running off.
