His Infatuation - Slashers x Reader [Book Three]

[Chapter 45: Pointing Fingers]

"I-I blame Krueger...!" Norman cried out irrationally, pointing fingers and blaming the dream demon without any information whatsoever. "I...I bet HE'S the one w-who's been m...messing around w-with (Y/n) r...recently...! Just A-ADMIT it already...!"

"You DO already give her nightmares..." Stu chipped in with a cautious expression, looking slightly uneasy while he shared a suspicious glance with Billy. "And you ARE pretty sadistic anyway dude..."

"Oh please, gimme a BREAK. I may be sadistic, but if I were to pull pathetic little pranks like that, I'd confess and own up to them. Right off the fuckin' bat too, may I add." Freddy stubbornly snapped back, holding his finger-knives out before glaring at the rest of the other slashers with the utmost of resentment.

"YOᑌ ᔕEE ᗯᕼY I ᗯᗩᔕ ᔕO ᖴᑌᑕKIᑎG ᖴᖇᑌᔕTᖇᗩTEᗪ ᗯᕼEᑎ ᑎOᗷOᗪY ᗷEᒪIEᐯEᗪ ᗰE??" [A/N: "YOU SEE WHY I WAS SO FUCKING FRUSTRATED WHEN NOBODY BELIEVED ME??"] Michael scribbled to Freddy with annoyance, practically shoving the notepad into his face as he stood nearby him.

"I'm starting to." The dream demon muttered under his breath darkly, twitching from rage and almost losing his temper. "This is ridiculous. Blaming ME, of ALL people—"

"Pennywise here told us that you sensed Soul Power within the doll at the same time he did. Is that true...?" Hannibal commented with a casual tone of voice; tilting his head to the side a tiny bit before throwing the demonic killer a stern look.

"Soul Power...? Wait a minute, I thought that was just old folklore." Billy remarked in a surprised fashion, his eyes wide from shock once he'd heard the psychiatrist interrogate the personally-offended King of Nightmares like that.

"Yeah, well, you better start thinking outside your little box, dude, 'cause somebody's definitely breaking the fucking reality rules for you, okay?" Freddy retaliated maliciously, purposely striking up a fight and trying to rile up one of the two friends.

"While it may be nothing but a myth to you both, Soul Power has always been real to the rest of us." The dark-haired male smoothly told the duo; knowing full well that Freddy's methods of aggravation would easily create a childish temper tantrum.

"Is there a way to rid it of its power? A way to remove the Soul Power from the doll even?" Stu slowly inquired, ignoring Billy's infuriated sound toward Freddy and remaining mature.

"I'll...see what I can find. Soul Power is an insanely ancient and authentic ability. It's almost impossible to access, and when it is accessed, it takes an incredible amount of skill to even start to twist it to your desires." Hannibal intelligently explained, his smart mindset already adapting to what's going on and how to handle said situation.
