The stories of this man have been told for ages, and as long as I can remember we have been protecting ourselves. My mother has given me spells and charms to guard my dreams from his never ending vengeance. Tonight I will go to sleep without the protections, because how do we know that his existence is real if we have been doing this for centuries. Let me start at the beginning, the story of the man hunting down the teens and kids of those who murdered them. Freddy was a normal guy, like the rest of us until that faithful day when he was accused of murdering kids. Nothing was proven but the parents in this town just knew it was him and decided to take justice into their own hands. He died in the fire they started, everyone knew he could never survive it and thought that he was gone forever. Boy, they were wrong, years later when his innocence was proven it started. He killed teenagers in their dreams, eventually a way was discovered to sleep safely without him wandering in our dreams. Over the years I have grown an interest in this man, because he is the only one that can help me in my own personal vendetta. So tonight I will set him free and we will rule this town, just like the prophecy predicted. That's another thing, twenty years ago a woman predicted that he would return with the help of a villager, little do they know that I'm that person. Freddy and I can finally get rid of our own demons and the nightmare we're trapped in. It's time to sleep.
A deserted forest in the middle of the night, I can hear vague sounds in the distance. It's hard to make my way through here with only a single star lighting the sky. Is that? Yes, a cabin finally something else than trees. It's funny I think to myself as I enter, this could be the perfect scene for a horror movie. The door slams shut and from the shadows a tall figure appears, he is slowly creeping up towards me. Freddy in all his glory, the hand and clothes are exactly like I imagined. Unable to move I stand there in pure shock before I'm filled with utter joy. The fangirl in me takes over and I freak out, he must have mistaken this for fear because he is ready to take my life. "FREDDY, OMG I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT IT'S REALLY YOU. I'VE BEEN WAITING MY ENTIRE LIFE FOR THIS MOMENT. YOU ARE MY HERO, MY IDOL. I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT IT'S REALLY YOU," I exclaim in my happiness. I expected him to be grateful for me coming to his rescue, but his facial expressions are blank. "Freddy, I came here to set you free and to get revenge, together." He simply smiles and walks towards the door, and within seconds he is gone. I try to run after him, but the locked door stops me from doing so. "Stupid girl, did you really think I was going to help you?" Where is that voice coming from, is it him? "You indeed are the person to set me free, because you will help them remember the real me. And remembering me and what I'm capable of is the key to my escape." Confusion takes over as I process what he just said, stupid, remembering, what the hell is going on here? A lot of time isn't given to me as he suddenly leaps forward towards me, the bladed glove aiming at my heart. " NOOOOOOO," I scream out and try to escape, this was not how this is supposed to go. We are supposed to be a team, to be working together. The last thing I see before releasing my final breath is the face of pure evil, the face of a man named Freddy Krueger.
