The Bound Fedora

Chapter 19: Found In Translation

"Well it obviously isn't completely gone." She sighed pulling away from him. He glared up at her and it took him a moment to realize what she had meant and he pushed her off of him.

"Only one way to find out." Freddy sat up straddling Sidney. Pulling his blades back her eyes went wide as he stabbed one into her shoulder making them both cry out. "Fuck!" He screamed and quickly healed her.

"Well at least you aren't in pain anymore." She said wincing as it healed shut. He stared back at her for a moment and reached his hand back slapping her making her cry out and instantly punch him back right in the mouth. "What the fuck was that for?!"

"Just testing how much we're still linked. I didn't even feel that." He laughed rubbing his jaw.

"Happy now?" She asked glaring at him.

"No..." He admitted turning serious now that his mind was no longer plagued with longing for the girl, for the first time since he was stuck with her he could focus on what he really wanted. "I still need to get my revenge on Westin Hills."

"You can't get revenge on a place. You already killed everyone involved in what happened to your daughter. What more is there to do?" Sidney asked making him twitch his blades.

"That whole facility needs to be destroyed! Burnt to the ground! You have no idea what they did to her! I do, I have all of her memories, remember?!" The demon shouted pointing a blade at his head and growled in anger as his eyes began to glow red.

Sidney stared back at him realizing what he meant. Just like when he killed Gregory he had absorbed her soul and her memories when he put her out of her misery all those years ago. She shook her head and put her hand on his shoulder staring into him.

"Then go and do it." She said calmly causing his eyes suddenly return to normal and he stared back at her in confusion.

"What?" He asked in disbelief as he searched her face and had to stop himself from listening to her thoughts.

"There is no telling if we'll ever get rid of this link between us. You might as well go now before we try for my parents." She explained and he instinctively removed her hand from his shoulder and held it in his.

"You know they'll all die? Everyone at Westin Hills." He stared into her waiting for her response.

"I know... But it's the least I owe you for all of this mess. You've put up with me and this damn link and you got me out of there just like you promised. You might not get another chance like this." She explained trying not to think of the others still stuck there.

"I... I don't know how..." Freddy said in disbelief as she stared into him making him stop in mid-sentence and change what he was originally going to say. "I don't know how long it'll take me. I've never tried to go anywhere before. I've never been pulled out long enough to try."

"How did they send you back before?" She asked finally breaking eye contact.

"I just have to go to sleep. That's it. The only reason I was sent back last time was because they got me with sedatives and Hypnocil. But I am a lot stronger now."

"How will you get there? Can you just kind of appear there like you do in the dream world?" She asked curiously.

"I don't know I've never gone long distances before. In my world jumping from dream to dream is like jumping from one room to the next and I can take them to any room I want. I can even combine more than one dream together. Like if Niki and Brent were both dreaming I could pull them into the same dream together. I've only done it a few times just to fuck with some kids. Too bad no one at Westin Hills ever forgets their Hypnocil at the same time. That'd be fun." Freddy laughed making Sidney yank her hand from his and glare back at him.
