Dean opens his eyes to find himself attached by bolts to a web of chain suspended above a river of hell fire. One bolt in each shoulder, arm and thigh. "Hell Freddy really!" Dean shouts hearing his voice echo back towards him and round the vast area. "I've never felt more at home!"

"Dean!" He hears Sarah shout from a platform made of rock. She is standing next to a big wooded crank raped with chain. "Sarah turn the crank." Sarah grabs hold and starts to turn it, the chains attacked to Dean get tighter and start to pull him in six different directions. "The other way!" He shouts with pain in his voice. "Sorry" she starts turning to the other way and the chains slacken off lowering Dean to the platform. As his feet land on the platform of rock Sarah runs over to help free him. "This is going to leave scars" Dean states as Sarah pulls the bolts from his arms. Dean strains in pain and makes a muffled sound trying not to give Freddy the satisfaction of hearing him scream. "How did you get here?"

"Well that prick had me but I got away and when a walked though a door willing myself to find you and ended up here." Dean looks at her with a smile "you bent the dream to your liking."

"I'm getting good at this dream walking thing." As Sarah removes the last bolt from Dean he falls to his knees. Sarah helps him back to his feet and they walk out the way Sarah came in. The exit is a cloud of mist at the end of a cave that they walk straight though without a second thought.

They walk out the other side and end up on top of a cliff. There is a old wood and rope bridge running across a endless drop into darkness. At the other side another cliff with a lone red door standing upon it. The Sky burns red with fire and ever so often a bolt of dry lighting strikes though it. "That's the way out" Dean claims as Sarah feels ill at the sight of the drop. Sarah at the age of eleven were play fighting with her older brother Zack on a hotel balcony. Their room were on the fifth floor looking over the hotel swimming pool. There were a glass table and four chairs on the balcony and Sarah jumped up onto one of the chairs then onto the table. As Zack whet to grab her to get her down from the table Sarah stepped back and fell from the balcony, luckily she landed in the deep end of the pool and were rescued my the pool guard unharmed but ever since that day Sarah has had an uncontrollable fear of heights. "I can't do this Dean" she informs with a tone of terror. Dean looks at the drop and then at Sarah's pale face, she has turned as white as a ghost still looking down. "Sarah look at me" she doesn't move. "Look at me!" She quickly turns her gaze at Dean. "Right we need to get to the other side OK?"

"OK."

"Now all I want you to do is look at me and keep moving." Dean starts to walk backwards across the bridge as he holds onto Sarah's arm's. She runs her hands down the rope railings keeping her movements slow and looking straight into Dean's emerald green eye's. Even thou she has never felt more afraid, looking into that man's beautiful eyes is helping.

Dean leads her over the bridge "where halfway, your doing well." The bridge starts to sway rapidly as the wind picks up. The wooded plank under Sarah's right foot brakes away. She falls to the bridge screaming but quickly Dean pulls her back to her feet shouting "look at me!" Sarah does as he says "Your going to be OK, just keep moving." Sarah takes another step as dry lightning cracks and falls thought the bridge. She screams "Dean!" As she is holding onto one of the planks for her life and she dangles over the endless drop, now looking down she keeps up her scream. Dean moves to grab her but Freddy wraps his arms around him from behind "Lets just watch her fall Dean." Dean throws his head back into Freddy's face. As Freddy steps back with the hit Dean turns and faces him. Freddy laughs as he runs his blades across the rope of the bridge fraying it. Dean moves forwards and Freddy swings his blades at him. Dean blocks Freddy's right with his left and punched him in his burned face. Freddy steps back again. "I'm not afraid of you Freddy."

"I don't need your fear Dean, I have theirs, just listen to her scream." He states referencing Sarah's fearful sound. "Maybe so but it's me your fighting here." Freddy goes to drive his blades into Dean but the hunter grabs his right arm with both his hands. He moves out of the may or the blades as he strikes Freddy's face with his right elbow. The hit puts Freddy off balance and sends him to the ropes of the bridge. Dean without a second thought punches the Dream Demon in the ribs with his left and then upper-cutting him with his right to the jaw sending him over the ropes. Freddy falls screaming into the endless darkness of the pit below, quickly Dean grabs Sarah's arms and pulls her back onto the bridge. Dean leads her over to the other side. The moment Sarah's feet step onto the cliff she throws her arms around him saying "thank you." She feels an overwhelming sense of relief as she feels the ground under her feet. Sarah looks back into the pit. "Is he dead?"

"No, the dream world belongs to him for now, he'll be back." Dean informs opening the door then they both walk though.

They emerge form the other side and are standing in the hallway of Dean's childhood home. Dean looks in the living room to see his father sleeping in his arm chair. "Freddy!" Dean shouts at the top of his voice and then runs up stairs and into Sam's nursery. Freddy is standing by the crib "you son of a bitch" Dean says walking towards him, Freddy looks around with eyes of yellow. "I told you Dean, I know what you fear" he uses the knife on his index finger to point to the ceiling, Dean looks up to see his mother pinned there. "Mum" a flame starts to engulf his mother "No!" Dean looks back to Freddy who is no longer there. Dean runs back out of the nursery as it's lost to the flames. He then runs downstairs, grabs Sarah by the left hand and drags her out of the house into the street. Dean looks back at the house and then starts to walk off down the road and Sarah follows without saying a word. As they keep walking the road changes form one Dean recognises into one he has never walked before. "What were that back there? If you don't mind me asking."

"My mother were kill by a yellow eyed demon call Azazel. He wanted Sammy but when my mum walked in to Sam' s nursery he pinned her to the ceiling and burned her alive in front of my father's eyes. That's why dad started hunting, that's why Sam and I hunt."

"What happened to this Azazel guy?"

"I killed him for what he did to my family."

"I'm sorry to hear that." Sarah stops asking question and they walk quietly for a wile.

The street disappears from around them and all they can see is the road ahead with dark surroundings. They start to faintly hear a little girl singing Freddy's Coming For You. "That's not creepy" Sarah states with a hint of sarcasm. The farther they walk down the road the closer the sound becomes as the girl repeats the song over and over. They see a little girl sat on the side of the road looking out to the darkness. "Hay little girl!" Sarah calls out as they get closer. The girl stops singing and slowly moves to her feet with out looking around. The girls movements are more like those of a spirit, gliding to her feet rather than standing up. "Creepy" Sarah says as her and Dean stop and stand still. With out moving her legs at all the girl turns slowly on the spot to face them and Dean names her "Lilith."

"Hay Dean" She says in excitement running over to him like a normal little girl throwing her arms around his waist hugging him as he stands there shaking his head in disbelief. Lilith is occupied inside the same little girl she were in the days before sending Dean to hell, wearing a white summer dress and shoes to match, with a red belt at the waist and red ribbon in her long blond hair. Lilith looks up at Dean with a cute smile on her little face. "Can I come with you Dean, I don't like it here." Dean removes her arms from him and starts to walk off with Sarah and then Lilith follows.

She says nothing for some time but every time Dean looks back to see if she is still there she smiles at him. "Who is that?"

"Lilith another demon from my past."

"I don't get why she's here, you don't seem to fear her."

"This one's not about fear. Lilith sent me to hell for four month's earth time but for forty year hell time. I think she's here more as a distraction then anything ells. Lilith catches up with them and grabs hold of Dean's right hand as he walks. Dean pulls his hand away saying nothing and then she grabs hold of it again. "Do you have to?" Dean snaps at the little demon. "I want to hold your hand, this place is dark and creepy" she answers with a face that looks on the edge of tears. "She's so cute" Sarah states with a giggle. Lilith looks up at her and says "I don't like you" with a straight face as she blinks and her eyes turn flash white. Lilith blinks again turning her eyes back to blue and smiles once more. "Lets just keep moving shall we." Dean states. They keep walking until they get to the front door of Greenwich High. "Always a school in these movies." Dean states opening the door.
