(1994)

"It's come to my attention that something odd is going on with the family." The Doctor started, as she and Johnny walked together down the hallway. The actor hummed.

He noticed it all too and the way Dylan was going on at the funeral. Asking Heather if she'd seen the 'thing' too. And it seemed like whatever Dylan was going on about, Heather knew about it and believed it.

"Your close with them right?" The Doctor asked, suddenly stopping. Johnny gulped. "I-Sure. Why?" He asked putting his hands in his pockets.

"Something big is going on here Robert. It's something that isn't right- Isn't natural."  The man said with an odd look. "Wes, have you been getting enough sleep? Don't take this the wrong way but-You don't look good." Robert said looking the older man over. Wes chuckled. "This isn't about me. This is about whats going on-Something evil and dark is after your family." Wes said grabbing the actors arm.

"Wes, I don't know what your talking about-Or what your on but-." Wes shook his head and sighed.

"Remember how Heathers home was broken into back when you were dating?" Robert hummed confused. "The Phsyco fan made her afraid to even walk outside. But he was lock away for-." Wes shook his head and interrupted Robert. "He was locked away-Key word was. The creeps been out of prison two years now. After Heather told me about the odd phone calls and the letters I looked into it." Wes sighed holding his head. "Its not good Robert." He muttered.

"The letters he keeps sending her are-." Robert crossed his arms. "So this person thats been doing this-Calling her acting like Freddy and-and sending her things in the mall- Was that guy?"

Dylan gulped and came to a stop. The hallway split into two different directions. The lighting was still red and now there was singing in the air. Small voices singing Freddy Krugers nightmare song.

Dylan gulped and held his dinosaur close. "We can't turn back now." The child muttered to his toy. Jessie's voice was still whispering for Dylan to help her. The child took a breath and closed his eyes.

"Eeny, meeny, miny moe-." He started pointing in both directions. "Okay Rex, guess we go this way." He muttered walking down the right hallway.

The boys eyes grew and he froze when he finally found Jessica.

The lights were flickering on and off and the song seemed to come to a dead hault. Poor Dylan couldn't move do to fear.

Jessica was laying in a bloody body bag. "Hurry Dylan!" She called out. "Get me out!" She snapped trapped in the bag. "Save me Dill-Please help me!"

"I fear that Heather and her son are getting abused by Robert or-." The Doctor said softly. "Wow hold on there Doc, Robert loves his wife and his son-He would do anything to keep his family safe. Don't you ever say a bad thing about that man!" Johnny snapped. "But the child isn't sleeping and Heather seems-Confused and jumpy even and-." Johnny groaned.

"And a dear friend of our died. She gave her own life for the little boy she loved. If it wasn't for Jessica jumping in the way and pushing Dylan out of it, he would have been crushed to death!" Johnny snapped upset. "But Dylan is-." Johnny shook his head. "A smart little boy who has been through a lot! Yes he has nightmares but what kid dosn't-." The Doctor crossed her arms.

"He told a nurse if he sleeps the bad thing will kill him-Just like it did his babysitter." The doctor snapped at the man. "I am simply looking out for the well being of the child and-." The Doctor was cut off by Johnny, he was starting to get pissed off. Heather and Robert would do anything to protect Dylan. That was that!

"Yes he has fears- But what little kid isn't afraid of -."The Doctor scoffed.

"The thing he was discribing sounds a lot like a film his father stars in- Both his parents and if you ask me it is not a movie a child of that boys age should be-." Johnny rolled his eyes.

"Look here lady, everyone knows who Freddy Kruger is-He's like Santa or the tooth fairy- Dylan hadn't even seen the movies until a-." Johnny paused. "Until?" The Doctor asked softly. "A week ago." Johnny muttered to himself.

"So your says that the papers the person keeps sending Heather is  anchent pages from an evil book and he cast a dark spell on my family and now a monster Demon that looks just like Freddy is terrarizing my wife and son and only Dylan can see this-Dark thing... Your saying this thing is making the Earth Quakes and it killed Jessica and is trying to get Heather to believe she's Nancy because of what?"  Robert asked done. Wes was clearly crazy and Robert was hoping to find a person to help his long time friend."Because it's the one thing Chase wants-Nancy. But the only way to-." The director was cut off by the actor.

"This is all too crazy Wes, I-I can't deal with your movie ideas right now right. We have bigger -."

His sons screams made the man pause and look down the hallway.

When Dylan tried to help Jessie out of the bag the bloody arm reached out and grabbed the boy, the babysitters voice becoming the dark mans voice. Dylan got away and took off down the hallway after he screamed in fear. The shadows seemed to follow him as he ran. Blood started following behind the child and the song started to play in his ears again. All the boy wanted was his old life back. He wanted Jessie.

Robert sighed when Dylan screamed and ran his way. "Its after him!" Wes snapped standing. "Shut up!" Robert snapped pushing the man oit of his way. Dylan paused when his father spoke. In the childs eyes it wasn't his father standing there-But the demon.

"Dylan, are you okay?" Robert asked. "Whats the matter brat? Too afraid to help a friend?" The demon snapped. He lifted his razored hand and smirked.

"Dlyan? Son, hello can-Dylan?" Robert asked stepping closer to his son. Dylan took a few shaky steps back and shook his head. In his mind it wasn't his father, he was afraid if he didnt book it he'd be in his own body bag.

He screamed again and took off running. Robert took off after his son not knowing that to the child a monster was after him. All Robert wanted was everything to go back to normal.

Johnny and the Doctor watched as Dylan ran by them screaming and his father chased after him. "So this is normal to you?" The Doctor snapped. She started walking after the father and son. Wes ran up to Johnny and gulped. "Whats going on?" The actor asked. "Dylan and Heather are in danger. Come on!" He called running with Johnny relictantly following behind.

Heather looked her hand over after the nurse was fininished. "You have to make sure you keep it clean and have someone help you change the bandeges and make sure not to-." Dylans screams had both girls looking out the door. "Dylan?" Heather callsd jumping off the bed she took off out of the room.

To anyone in the building it just looked like a little boy was running from his father, a Doctor, a director and an actor, but to young Dylan and his mother it was a horror show.

"Get away from him!" Heather screamed. In her eyes the dark demon had grabbed her son, he pulled the boy close amd smirked, weapon at the ready. "Stay back!" Heathers voice made Robert looked away from his son and to his wife.

"Whats wrong with everyone?" Robert asked. "I think I'll end this game of tag!"

The demon snapped ready to strike. Heathers eyes grew and she jumped on the man.

Robert coudn't understand any of it. Razor blades striked the boy and Heather punched her husband in the face. They both fell to the hard floor. Dylan was breathing hard, clutching his toy.

Wes, Johnny and everyone in the hallway stood wide eyed watching the family.
