❦Chapter 42: Emotional End❦
You smiled at the message and then put the bracelet on, feeling the weird surge of power. It wasn't the type of power you could use, but it sent a tingle down your wrist all the same. Going downstairs, you jumped as you saw a very familiar person leaning against the hallway wall.
"I didn't know the dream realm was a better world than the one you belong in." Ariana's arms were folded, her expression a stern one.
"A-Ari! I uh...I was just-!"
"What are you doing here? I've been searching for you for days! Where have you been?" She questioned impatiently.
"I've been all over." You admitted as you sighed, trying to think of a way to tell her.
"Explain. Now." Her tone was serious and she was glaring at you - making it harder to explain.
"Right. So um, after I got dragged away from you guys, I got rescued from Freddy by Ashley, and-"
"Hold up, did you just say Ashley? Ashley's dead, how would she've-?"
"Ashley's an angel." You interrupted Ariana's sentence shyly, making the girl's eyes widen.
"An angel? Are you sure it wasn't Krueger giving you a strange dream?" She asked in disbelief.
"No, because then he-...wait, where's Lucas?" You were about to answer her question but then grew confused; where was the quick-tempered teen? You knew Ellie was...gone, but surely Lucas had survived.
"Lucas got murdered by Jason and Ellie fell asleep. I'm the only one left. So let me re-ask, what are you doing here? And why haven't you tried to escape?" Ariana threw more questions at you, her eyes wild with bemusement.
"Ariana, there's something you should know. And you're not going to like it...but-"
"No. No...No, no, no, you can't mean...you can't mean that you actually want to stay here." Ari cut you off in disgust and pushed herself away from the wall.
"It's a lot more complicated." You bit your lip; feeling ashamed.
"It's not complicated at all! This man killed everyone you cared about! We have to work together to kill him! He's evil, he's pure fucking evil!" Ariana shouted unstably, striding towards you. She grabbed your wrists and the bracelet began to glow - pain shooting up your arm. Then you got a vision of dark crystals shooting up from the ground.
"ARI WATCH OUT!" You yelled in panic and shoved her back; tensing up when the dark crystals broke through the wooden floor. They were at different angles - cutting you off from the dark-haired girl.
"What the fuck was that?!" Ari gasped as she tried to regain her composure.
An evil laugh echoed around the hallway, both of you recognising the culprit. Freddy. He appeared on Ari's side of the crystals and grabbed her by the neck, slamming her against the wall. You tried to get through the crystals, but as soon as you touched them they sent violent sparks out - the electric being extremely hurtful. A cry of pain escaped your mouth and you retracted your hands, forced to be an observer.
"Let her go you-you bitch!" Ari choked in anger, digging her nails into his hand whilst she tried to push him away from her neck.
"Let her go? My dear Ari, she's here by her own free will. She stayed here by choice." The slasher chuckled.
"You've...You've corrupted her. She's not stupid, she's lost people she loved because of...because of you!" Ariana coughed fiercely, gazing at the killer with fury.
"I'm the only person she loves now. She doesn't need anyone else. So just die already." He mocked and tightened his hold on her; satisfied by her weak breathing.
"Stop it! Please stop it!" You cried out - not being able to bear Ariana's suffering. She'd lost her sister, she'd lost you and now he was torturing her. It was utterly, utterly, cruel.
"She was the one who took you from me, and you're telling me to release her? She deserves a punishment worse than fucking death!" Freddy responded darkly - entering a psychotic state of mind.
Thinking fast, you changed the dreamworld - taking the demon by complete surprise. The crystals faded away as the world around you all shifted; switching to the asylum you grew up in. Ariana kneed Freddy in the crotch and got herself away from him, holding her throat whilst she coughed loudly. You ran over to Ari and protectively stood in front of her as Freddy recovered from the painful hit.
"Get out of the fucking way (Y/n), or do you want to be punished too?" He could barely contain his rage, sending Ariana the deadliest of looks.
"She's suffered enough already! Leave her alone!" You threw your arms out in a T-shape and tried to keep her from harm, tears falling down your face.
Freddy's patience ran out and he used his telekinesis to physically throw you out of the way, resulting in you colliding with a coffee table. Stunned, you pushed yourself into a sitting position - shock flitting across your face. Did he just...throw you? You shook your head to clear the rest of the shock and staggered to your feet, the pain subsiding.
Meanwhile Freddy and Ariana had begun fighting - Ari taking out a knife and the killer using his lethal claws. They were landing several hits on each other, both blinded by bloodlust as they battled. The demon knocked her to the floor and sliced at her chest, making Ariana hiss in pain. She tried to swipe her knife at him, but missed the attack due to her bleeding wound. He seized his chance and snatched the weapon out of her hand, tossing it to the side and grinning in victory.
"Finally...Finally I can fucking kill you. You're the last one...the last one who she cares about. Say goodbye, little bitch." Freddy breathed sadistically, holding his gloved hand up in the air. Ari grabbed ahold of his sweater with one hand, mumbling words in a stressed out manner.
"What's that? You set an alarm, and you're praying for it to go off now? Tough luck whore." He sneered.
Everything seemed to happen at once; you ran towards them and caught Freddy's arm as he swung down, the world in slow motion whilst the three of you jolted out of the dreamworld. What the-? Ariana's alarm. It must've gone off! You woke up in Ari's house, Ariana shoving Freddy off of her and regaining her feisty strength. The fight started up again, but you noticed that Freddy was significantly weaker here than in the dream realm.
"No! Ari don't!" You tackled her to the ground before she could stab Freddy, making her cuss in frustration. Fortunately for her she didn't drop the knife she'd woken up with, at least she had some line of defence against the killer.
"Stay out of this (Y/n)! This is between me and him! And I will make sure this fucker DIES." Ariana growled and pushed you away - climbing to her feet again. Freddy tried to swipe at her with his glove but she nimbly dodged, plunging her knife into his side.
He snarled in pain and held his side, backing away from her unwillingly. Ari didn't stop there though, she got another stab in - this time driving it through his left shoulder. She tried to ram it through his head but you interceded; wrapping your arms around the demon and crying from anxiety. Ariana relaxed her angered stance and huffed, taking a step back. Grateful for her faint act of mercy, you turned to face her - setting Freddy against the wall.
"A-Ari-"
"No - I won't spare him. I'm sorry that you've got Stockholm Syndrome, but I'm making sure he at least bleeds out. Say your goodbyes to him and make your peace with it." She bluntly responded.
"B-But I love him." You sobbed in distress, falling to your knees as you clutched your heart.
"Then that makes you a monster too. I'm grabbing my medical supplies and then leaving. Goodbye (Y/n)." Ariana walked out of the room and headed upstairs - being cold towards you. You glanced back towards Freddy, who had his teeth gritted.
"I-I don't know what to do, I don't think I can fix injuries this deep!" You whispered frantically, cupping his cheeks with your hands.
"Go fetch a bed sheet - it'll send me back to the dream realm and I can regenerate. Hurry sugar." The slasher ordered curtly; his breathing jagged.
You took a deep breath and thought about it; knowing in your heart that you couldn't let him regenerate. He'd make sure to get revenge on Ariana and kill her - which isn't what you wanted. You knew what to do, but it tugged at your heartstrings. Picking up Ariana's knife, you wrapped your arms around Freddy again and hid it behind him; hugging him lovingly.
"This isn't the time! We can hug later! Get me back to the fucking dreamworld, I'm about to die!" He snapped at you shortly.
"I love you. I love you so much." You murmured miserably, making him confused.
"Why are you-?"
You felt your heart break as you stabbed him in the back, your whole body trembling. Because of your guilt, you forced it through your stomach too - committing suicide out of broken love. Blood covered the two of you, the stressful situation dissolving into a critical one. His fist was curled around his trouser pocket; making you curious as to what was in there. Did he want you to take the contents?
You put your hand into his pant's pocket and took out the small items, your eyes widening at the Rings of Raivern. Why were they in his pocket? Was he still planning to place the powerful ring upon your finger? Perhaps you should humour him and put it on for him. After your terrible act of betrayal, it was only fitting. Slipping one of the rings onto your finger, you pushed the other ring onto his finger and felt your heart sting.
You pressed your lips against his and closed your eyes, tears still leaking from the corner of your lashes. I love you Freddy Krueger, I love you. The life slowly drained from your body, numbness taking hold. Loving an evil demon...it was worth it...totally worth it. Your consciousness faded and you fell away from Freddy, your lips leaving his.
Goodbye, my love.
