Chapter 5, Paranoia
The ride home with Cole was quiet, I was grateful for that. I was able to think about Freddy, about his past at least. I didn't know what he did in his past life until now that is. I didn't know what to think, also Freddy has never hurt me before. It was terrifying. I could still feel how the way the knives pierced my back. I felt tears starting to well up and I quickly looked down at my hands and thought hard. If I was to tell anyone about what's happening to me, I would definitely be sent to a hospital.
"What's wrong?" I jumped when Cole spoke to me. I didn't realize that I was already home. I smiled and shook my head.
"I'm fine. Just thinking." I said and opened the car door.
"Listen, if you need anything, here's my number," Cole said and he scribbled on a small piece of paper and gave it to me. I smiled as I looked down at the number.
"Thank you, for everything really."
"You have no need to thank me, I'm just glad I could help. Goodbye Y/N be safe please." I smiled and nodded my head,
"Goodbye." I shut the car door and watched as Cole pulled out of my driveway. Once he was fully gone I looked at my house and shuttered. I was not ready to go in. I gulped and took a big breath in and stomped over to my door. I fished my keys out of my pocket and while trying to not shake I clumsily unlocked my door. I peaked into my home and was about to walk in when I saw that the coast was clear but instead I had a mini heart attack as my little neighbor yelled at me.
"Jeez, Hi Yu, why are you here?" I asked her and tried to smile as best as I could trying to hide my fear.
"You were gone for very long time! Yu got worried! Home is safe, I keep care of it." Yu said and I let go of my breath.
"Thank you, Yu. Thank you. I promise I won't scare you anymore. 我保证会没事的. (I'll be fine, I promise)" I said the last part in Chinese and I could tell that she instantly became relieved. I have known her for a while now and so she has been teaching me Chinese ever since we met.
"保持安全我担心你 (stay safe, I worry about you.)" I nodded to her and watched as she left to her own house. I sighed and walked into my home. I hate the hold that Freddy has on me. I kicked my shoes off and plopped onto the couch I rubbed my face and sighed. I thought about the photos that I saw and shuttered. If the way that Freddy was reacting those photos must have been real. Maybe when I fall asleep again, I'll be able to look for more clues. But, I won't be able to do that if Freddy is always lurking over my damn shoulder. I frowned and got up from the couch.
I was about to turn around until I felt a hot breath ghost past my ear. I gasped and turned around. No one was there. I shuttered and turned back around, I wanted to scream but I couldn't with Freddy's clawed hand over my mouth. I breathed hard as Freddy put a finger to his lips and made a shushing sound. I felt tears start to well up in my eyes and before I could make a sound, everything went black.
I woke up again and I was in the same room that I found those photos in. I started to shake and went to get up. But, I couldn't. I looked down at my ankle when I heard a small clink and my eyes widened. There was a chain around my ankle and it was attached to a small square of steel on the concrete wall.
I grabbed onto the chain and tried to yank. It wasn't giving and so I tried to hit it with a rock that I found next to the door. It also didn't do anything. I grunted in defeat and pulled my legs to my chest. How am I supposed to get out of this nightmare?
"You won't" I screamed when I heard Freddy's low voice come from a corner of the small room. I looked over to where I believe he was. It was too dark to see him. I scooted back as far as I could with the chain still attached to me.
"I won't allow you to leave, not this time bitch." Freddy said while he came closer to me, he spat the last word when he knew he was in my line of sight. I cringed when I made a pitiful sound as soon as Freddy knelt down to me.
"Please Freddy, I am so sorry. I didn't know, please-"
"FUCK your sorrys bitch. I can't have another bitch snitch on me. Not after what happened last time." He was in my face now staring straight into my eyes and I shuttered, his eyes...they weren't his usual green anymore. The were a deep red, outlined with black and they just looked...evil. I felt tears start to well up in my eyes for the second time this night and I finally let them fall.
"Please Freddy. L-listen to me. I won't tell anyone, I doubt anyone would b-believe me anyways. Nobody ever has, not like they will now. Please Freddy, just don't hurt me please." I begged and begged and I started to feel hopeless as the more I begged it looked like the more he didn't care. I flinched as Freddy brought up his clawed hand next to my head, I felt him caress my hair and he chuckled.
"What's makes you think I'm gonna hurt you. No no Y/N, I've known you for a very long time now. I know what you fear, I know your deepest desires to your biggest weaknesses. Trust me when I say; I'm gonna make damn sure that I use every single one, while I keep you here." I sobbed as Freddy got back up and told me goodnight before he left the small room. As soon as the door shut completely, as soon as I heard the small click of the lock. I broke down. I screamed and sobbed and I could feel myself shake uncontrollably. I rocked myself as I buried my head in my hands. I didn't know what to do, and it was like Freddy could read my mind. He knew my every move. What am I supposed to do?
I looked up quickly as I heard the door starting to open again. I backed up to a random corner in the room and braced for what Freddy had to give to me. I watched as the door opened slowly and I didn't see Freddy instead I saw a young teenager. They looked to at least be around 16. What were they doing here? Why were they so far from the door?
"You shouldn't be here. You need to leave, please." I told them and they seemed to jump a little.
"I don't know where to go. I'm scared." They said and I gulped. Knowing Freddy, he must have guided them here. I looked around myself and chewed my lip in thought. I didn't know what I was looking for and so I looked back at them.
"Look, listen to me kid. You need to run, go to the tallest stairs in this place and run up them, you'll see two paths, take the right one. Keep running that way, you'll see a narrow hallway on the right of you, it haves a door at the end of it. Go threw it and you'll wake up." I quietly said and I watched as they nodded. I told them to leave and they started to move but, they looked back at me.
"What about you?"
"It's too late for me hun, leave and never come back. Go!" I quietly ushered them and so they left. I hope they'll be okay. I've gone through these scenarios way too many times. I would watch others die around me, watch them be ripped apart, and I would be the only one to get out. Whenever I would try and help them Freddy would be there and ruin that quickly. I just hope they'll be okay.
I also hope, that I'll be okay.
