Half-unconscious, you heard Azereth shout sharply before a sickening snap; indicating that the vengeful fight was over. Shivering, you tried to come back to your senses, only being able to open your eyes. You saw Azereth's corpse a few feet away - his face set into one of rage - and felt satisfaction, glad that he was dead. It was finally over.

"Doll?" You looked up to see Freddy, his gloved hand stained with blood and his face looking satisfied as well. He did look concerned for you though, which made you smile. And he calls himself a killer.

"You...You did it. Good...job..." You breathlessly spoke as your eyes closed - exhausted.

"I heard some sort of fight over here!"
"Check on the King! Make sure he's alright!"
"K-King Azereth-!"
"Kill them. Kill the trespassers!"

You heard Freddy curse under his breath before picking you up bridal-style, your head lolling against his soft sweater. Cuddling into his chest, You peeked through your eyelids and saw incubus guards rushing towards you two with sharp spears, looking immensely angry. Luckily you didn't have to deal with them because Freddy teleported you both away; the dream world materialising around you.

It was only then that you realised your pulse was slowing down, your heartbeat growing fainter. The coldness you felt earlier was warm in comparison to the iciness you felt now - your body going limp whilst you got laid across a bed. It was like you were empty inside; like your body was shutting down due to the lack of anything vital. Were you...dying?

"You're not dying. Your body just isn't used to all its power being taken." Freddy's voice floated into your ears, his tone amused by how melodramatic you were being.

Well excuse me for not knowing how this works. And you're welcome by the way, because without my power you would've been destroyed.

"Thank you sweets." He chuckled as he heard your sassy reply, deciding to give in.

That's better. Now are you going to give my power back or are you going to be a selfish asshole and keep it?

"Let me think about that~"

Give it. Now.

"So rude."

Minutes passed and eventually you felt real warmth flood back into your veins, your heartbeat becoming a regular strong pace instead of a faint one. Your eyes shot open and you saw Freddy restoring your power, his lips back on yours again. His grin widened once he saw you relatively awake, his green eyes glimmering with that oh so familiar mischief.

Welcome back, beautiful.

You squeaked and broke the kiss quickly, your cheeks red and your heart hammering. Just because he was returning your power doesn't mean he had to keep kissing you! He laughed at you, that bad-boy smirk lining his features as he waited for you to say something. W-Well what were you meant to say? Should you say a nonchalant hello? Or...Or maybe a thank you would be better? W-Why were you overthinking this!?

"Hmph! Y-You sure took your time." You put up a front and tried to call back your composure, crossing your arms.

"Aww, is that all you have to say to me? I did just save you from a thirsty incubus king-"

"Okay, okay! Thank you...for saving my life. I assume we're even now." You interrupted stiffly.

"And just how did you figure out that we're even? Because I don't think we are sweets, not one bit." Freddy flirtatiously disagreed, watching you sit up with sly eyes.

"Excuse me? I gave you my power so you could beat him. That counteracts the whole saving situation - and plus we're still on different sides." Your cheeks grew pink when you thought back to the conversation you and Azereth had had about the slasher.

"Ooh, what made you blush just then? Maybe I should look at your memory~" He purred playfully; causing you to panic.

"N-No! Don't you dare! Don't do what you did with the school memory-!" You shrieked but the dreamworld had already began to change.

You hopped off the bed and leapt at him, the sudden strength of your powers making both of you fall to the floor. A heavy blush slid across your face as you saw that you were straddling him in a sexual-like position.

"I-I...I'm sorry I-I didn't mean-"

"I didn't know you were so straightforward with what you want, but y'know~" He paused and vanished from sight before tackling you from behind, pinning you to the ground instead. "-I like being the top."

"T-That's not what I meant! Pervert!" You stammered in shame as you shook a little bit, nerves taking ahold of your body.

You gripped his sweater with both hands, tears threatening to spill whilst you internally freaked out. "P-Please don't. Please don't show that memory...I-I can't bear to face it."

For a second shock spread across his facial features as he misunderstood; mistaking it for non-consensual sex instead of discussing your love life. Fury leaked from his face, undiluted hate showing in his now-scarlet eyes.

"What did he do to you, princess? Tell me. Tell me right now." His sharp teeth were gritted - trying to control his obvious rage.

"W-What do you mean?" You were surprised at the question, as well as the sudden anger.

"Don't play dumb with me! Why don't you want to see that memory? Did he rape you? Is that it?" Freddy hissed viciously.

"No! No, you got there before he could. I-It's other reasons." You were quick to console him and thankfully he calmed down relatively fast.

"Then why don't you want me to see it? Did he hurt you?" He was genuinely curious now, not understanding why you were so against showing him.

"Not really. I just...we spoke about something, that's all. Something private." You muttered.

"Private? Oh come on, what could be so private that you'd have to hide it from me?" The demon scoffed in irritation and leaned back, letting go of you.

"It's nothing. A-Anyway, I have to go." You scrambled to your feet as you frantically tried to think of an excuse. You went to walk past him but he seized your wrist, forcing you to halt beside him.

"Go? I don't think so, I just got you back here. You're not going anywhere." His voice slipped into a possessive growl, the very tone sending masochistic shivers up your spine.

"Let go." You faintly commanded.

"Why don't you want me to see it?"

"I have nothing more to say to you."

"WHY?" He roared in frustration as he forced the memory to take place around you two. You kept your head down, gazing at the floor in complete embarrassment whilst tears shined on your eyelashes.

"The first time I hypnotised you. When I messed around with your mind I saw your heart. I saw the confused, conflicted emotions that danced around inside. And I know how you feel about him."

"I hate him. I really, really, hate him."

"You love him."

"No...No I-"

"When he grabbed you in Heaven's dungeon you could've easily thrown him off with your power. So why didn't you? Tell me, (Y/n), why didn't you at least try?"

"I...I don't know."

"You do know. Because you didn't want to. Maybe your mind hates him but your heart and soul do not."

Freddy watched the scene out, silent as it finished up and faded from the dreamworld. Then he turned to look at you, noting your silence and growing confused at why you were upset. You on the other hand didn't know what to say. Should you confess, or should you keep fighting your feelings and reunite with Ariana?

"Kitten?" You couldn't keep it in any longer - your past feelings and your new feelings combining as one. So you broke away from him and faced him fully, quivering just a little bit.

"I've tried fighting it for so long...I've tried hating you...I've tried pretending that we never had anything between us...I've even tried killing you...but nothing worked." You clenched your fists, trying to find the courage.

"And?" His grin was back; his sadistic side adoring this ashamed attitude of yours.

"I...I...I love you. I'm done pretending that I'm a good person. I'm done pretending that I despise you. Because I don't. Freddy Krueger, I love you." You whispered in defeat, allowing your heart to have full control.

You couldn't help it. You loved being pursued by him, being dominated by him and most of all you loved being obsessed over by him. You couldn't ignore your love any longer.
