Freddy Krueger's Little Nightmare

Halloween

Freddy had scooped Falon into the support of his arms, carrying her out of her mother's room and into what was now his boiler room that had faded into view. His rugged, hard shoes 'click-clacked' in echoes across the floor as he carried Falon over to a small magazine on the stairs--leading up to the next level. Falon slipped out of his arms and bent down to pick the magazine up. On the cover was a large man in a navy blue jumpsuit and one of the original Spock masks; nevertheless, a subtitle spelt out in all capital letters: 'Michael Myers'. Who...?

"Michael Myers...? I-I don't understand, Freddy," she said in a low and confused voice. "Who is he?"

"Someone who you're going to retrieve for me... Me and Michael have some... unfinished business."

"You mean fight him...? Freddy, I-I can't--"

"You can, and you will, Falon."

Falon did nothing but give a slight nod. She knew exactly who Michael was. She just lied, but Freddy was already well aware. Falon reached up with her glove free hand and cupped her neck. She swallowed heavily, almost choking; that's where Michael had plunged his knife through her throat. Leaving behind that large scar on her neck...

Freddy walked over to Falon as he ran the tip of his sharpened talons through her hair. He look directly into her eyes, her soul it even seemed like. In reality, Falon had three gash marks down her eye, a slash across her nose, two cuts down her bottom lip; halfway to her chin, and the scar from Michael on her neck. But Freddy thought she was beautiful. No matter what, she was still his little princess.

"You don't have to lie just to get your way.~ I know a lot about you. Remember, Falon? I'm in that colorful mind of yours..." Freddy leaned in close, face-to-face as he pressed a kiss to Falon's lips.

"I--...." Falon was cut off by Freddy once more.

"Halloween is coming up, and Michael will soon be on the loose. Those are my children, I should be taking them. But, I need your help. Can you do it, Falon? Think you can handle it...?"

~x~

"Yes, Freddy..."
