Supernatural Nightmare

Seven

Ash is walking though a dark dirty house with a shotgun loaded with rock salt. He walks from the hallway into the main living room to see a ghostly man standing there. The man is wearing a tarnished grey suit and has grey hair but no eyes. By the man's feet lays the body of a young woman, bloody and lifeless. "No!" Ash screams on the sight of the woman. Ash shoots the man with rock salt dispelling the ghost and then goes over kneeing next to the body of the young woman. As the hunter cradles her body in his arms he starts to cry. Three years ago Ash hunted along side his wife and childhood sweetheart. On a hunt that took them to an old abandoned house Amy Ashton were killed by the ghost of a deranged father that killed his wife and four children before killing himself one Christmas Eve. Afterwards Ash fell off the rails, it took him a year before getting over Amy's death and starting to hunt again.

As Ash kneels there with his dead wife in his hands he hears Freddy's dark laugh fill the house. Ash with tear filled eyes looks around the room, as he looks back at Amy she is looking up at him with her dead eyes "you did this to me Ben" She says in a cold voice. "You let me die."

"I tried to save you, believe me I tried."

"You didn't try hard enough." Amy's body starts to decay in his hands, flesh and muscle rots away from bone and her bones turn to dust as Ash continues to cry. "Shame. So beautiful, so dead." Ash turns towards the voice behind him and Freddy strikes him across his face sending the hunter to the floor. Four deep cuts run from Ash's chin up to his forehead, blood pours down his face and on to the floor as Freddy drives his blades in to Ash's stomach. The nightmare twists his blades slowly clockwise as Ash screams in blood curdling pain and then twists them back again. Freddy repeats this motion getting faster and faster using his four knifes as a blender inside the hunter, Ash continues to scream as Freddy cuts though him. The life drains from Ash and Freddy removes his blades spilling the red goo consisting of blood and the hunter's liquefied internal organs. Freddy laughs as the goo pools from within Ash onto the floor and around his dirty brown boots.

Sam is walking up a dark road he doesn't recognise with David and Scott following. "You think the other are OK?" David asks Sam. "If their with my brother they'll be fine."

"And if their not?" Sam just looks at him with no answer, not one he's willing to verbalise. "Let's just hope they are." Scott states. As they walk they see a building in the distance, it's the first thing they've seen in the darkness since the circus. "Over there" Sam says pointing and speeding his walk up. As they get closer David recognise the building "that's Greenwich Hight."

"A school, next we'll be in the boiler room." Sam starts with a smile both kids look at him blankly. "You two have seen the movie right?"

"What movie?" Scott asks. "A Nightmare On Elm Street" Sam says in complete disbelief that he's had to confirm it. "We're not into old horror flicks." David states. "We live though this, watch it." They continue to walk right up to the front door of the school. Sam takes a deep breath and walks in with the two lads behind him.

They walk thought into the front room of a home. "And I thought we were walking into a school." Scott states. "Where are we?" Sam asks. "Home" Sam looks a David who has a worried look upon his face. "That's my mother." There's a woman in her mid forty's sitting on a brown sofa with blond hair, wearing a green blouse with blood down the front of it from her broken nose. The room has off yellow painted walls, brown carpet, a brown arm chair to match the sofa and a wooden coffee table. "My farther were a violent drunk and on this night, well beating the shit out of my mother he went too far and killed her. After that he got locked up and hung himself in his cell. That's why I live with my grandmother on Elm Street. This is what I fear, my farther is going to run though that door any minuet and I'm going to have to watch my mother die again."

"David" Sam calls putting his hand on the boy's shoulder. "If Freddy is going to make you watch a parent die" Sam hold out his pistol "lets make sure it's the right one this time shall we." David looks at Sam and takes the pistol, then his farther comes running out of the kitchen and punches his mother in the face sending her to the carpet. "You bitch! I've been working all fucking day and this shit is what you make for dinner." David's father is a well built man wearing blue jeans and polo-shirt with big brown work boots. He raise his right foot over his wife's face and says "well it's about time I show you what happens to a wife that can't fucking cook."

"Hay prick!" David shouts getting his fathers attention "Leave my mum the fuck alone" David fires two round one hits his father straight in the heart and the second on the right side of his chest. He watches as his fathers lifeless body falls to the floor.

David passes Sam his pistol and runs over to his mother. He kneels on the floor next to her as she looks up at him. "David my brave boy." He wraps his arm around her. "I'm here mum, I'm here." Swiftly in that moment four blades cut though his mother chest from behind, blood squirts over David as he screams "No!" the blades are raised taking his mother's body up with them as Freddy stands there laughing. "If I want you to watch your mother die David, then you'll watch her die." He watches as his mother weight pulls her body down the blades. They slowly cut up though her chest opening her front exposing her heart and lungs damaged and bloody. Freddy's blades cut out the side of her neck ripping out her throat and windpipe as her body falls back on the floor in front of her son and the Dream Demon laughs louder and darker. David lets out a hateful scream and Sam opens up on Freddy with his pistol, Freddy turns to red and green mist and disappears. Sam runs over to David and picks him up off the floor "come on we need to keep moving." Sam leads him though the kitchen to the back door of the house and then out with Scott following.

The three walk out into a wooded area snow laid on the ground and tree branches. In front of them is a warm looking log cabin with two large red and white candy canes at either side of the door facing out. "David remember none of this is real it's all just Freddy messing with you." Sam sates. David recollects himself and answers "I know Sam."

"Shit" Scott says on the site of where he is. "Where are we?" Sam asks. "Lap Land, I came here when I were seven." Scott looks around slowly with a glimmer of fear in his eyes as he explains "so your bother fears flying and you fear clowns, I get that planes crash and clowns kill but don't judge me for what's coming next."

"What do you fear Scott?" David asks. "Elves, they're creepy little bastards." When Scott were in Lapland with his family, him and his father where out for a walk after dark. Five men dressed as elves mugged his father in front of him, beating and robbing his father and scaring Scott for life giving him his fear of elves. "Lets just get to the cabin" Sam tells them and they start walking forward. Scott looks into the trees and in the darkness he sees red glowing eyes appear "their coming." The eyes get closer until around twenty elves walk out of the woods and into the moon light that illuminates the area. They all have a grin on there faces with a mouth full of sharp teeth like those you'd expect to see in the mouth of a shark. Every elf has a large candy cane as a weapon. Sam draws his pistol and orders "get to the cabin."

Scott and David run to the door and Sam starts shooting down the elves. As a round hits a elf it pop spraying blood all over, with every kill Sam gets covered. As Sam is firing and walking backwards towards the cabin, an elf gets close enough to hit him to the floor with his cane. The elf raise the candy cane over his head and as he is about to bring it crashing down upon Sam, Scott runs and tackles him to the floor. Scott repeats "mother fucker." over and over as he punches the elf in the face with each word. Under his firsts the elf's face becomes bloody and then it's skull starts to crack and collapses until there is nothing left but mashed flesh and bone in a pool of blood. Sam drags Scott off the elf shouting "it's dead Scott, it's dead!" Scott looks up at the other elves, their eyes normal, their teeth short and blunt. As he looks upon them they starts backing away into the darkness until they are all out of sight. "Where did they go?"

"You over come your fear Scott and if you don't fear them, then they better fear you" Sam informs as they both stand to their feet. "Well done Scottie." David shouts over and they both walk to the door and join him. Sam opens the door and the three walk though.
