"Stay away from me!" I yelled at him backing away from him.

"Have I ever given you a reason to fear me? Well, have I?" Freddy demanded.

"How am I supposed to know? I don't even know who you is. It's just a matter of time till you kill me too. So why not do it? Why play all these head games with me?"

"Awe kitten, you hurt me feelings. I thought we could start back where we left off when I was alive." Freddy replied.

"What do you mean? Where we left off?"

"You still don't remember do you?" Freddy asked with a sigh and I shook my head. "Well then perhaps, it's time for a trip down memory lane." Freddy replied with a wave of his hand. Suddenly I saw a four year old version of myself curled up in a ball crying on a bench in the play ground. The other kids were chanting "nobody loves you and nobody ever will. Your a Sister of a maniac."

Then a man approached me "little one are you ok? What are you doing out here all by yourself? Where are your mommy and daddy?"

"They don't want me anymore." My younger self replied.

"What makes you think that?"

"They are arguing about sending me back into the foster care system again. I heard mommy say that she never wanted me and that I had to go. Why doesn't anyone love me? What's wrong with me?" My younger self whimpered.

"Shhh. People must be out of their minds not to want a beautiful young lady like yourself.
Why I'd adopt you in a heartbeat."

"You would?"

"Yes In fact, why don't you come stay with me? I'll raise you as my own. I've been ever so lonely and I think you'd fill that void perfectly." The man replied.

My eyes widened in surprise and then filled with tears. "No." I shook my head fighting back tears. "It can't be." Freddy just looked at me and smiled giving me a wink. "Freddy?" I whisper.

"Yes, Kitten it's me."

"I missed you. I missed you so much." I replied running up to him and giving him a big hug.

"I know Kitten, I know." Freddy replied gently caressing my hair.

"Where have you been? Why didn't you come back for me?"

"I would if I could have. After they took you away, I was arrested for being the Springwood Slasher. The truth is, I had every intention of you being my next victim, but something about you was, and still is different from all the others. I sensed it back then and I still sense it now."

"But how did?"

"How did I wind up looking like a burnt hotdog? You can blame your parents for that. Well, yours and everyone else's." Freddy replied.

"I don't understand."

"After the police returned you to your mom and dad I was brought to the prison. However, proper procedures weren't followed during my arrest. They illegally searched my house and they didn't read me my rights and so the justice system had to set me free. The parents of Elm Street were furious."

"They weren't going to let me get away with what I'd done. They knew I couldn't be tried again and so they decided to take it upon themselves to punish me. They tracked me down to an abandoned warehouse made a gas can cherry bomb lit it and tossed it through the open window."

"I burnt to death but was offered a change at the ultimate revenge by the dream demons. So long as you brats fear me I'd have ultimate power and would never die. They took away my future and so I decided I'd take away theirs I'd use my new abilities to murder you brats in your sleep. The beauty of it is that your parents will ultimately force you to go to sleep by use of drugs and then I'll be able to pick you off one by one." Freddy replied.

"Then why keep me alive? Why not kill me too? My parent's helped hunt you down and kill you." I replied confused.

"Because ..." Freddy started to reply but I cut him off.

"Because why?"

"Because your special. Unlike all the others you never betrayed me. We are a lot alike you and I.  Your an orphan just like me. Your foster parents/ adopted parents don't always treat you the way they should. They allow that brat you call your sister to verbally abuse you. All your life you've been made fun of and why?"

"Because your a little different. I know you dream that someone would come along and rescue you from them. Well, here I am. Look at me as your genie except with me there are no limitations for what you can wish for. Tell me what it is you desire, and I will make it happen." Freddy said with a smile.

"I want you back." I replied and Freddy sighed.

"Unfortunately, that is the one thing that I can't give you. I think it's time you woke up Kitten. We can continue this conversation some other time." Freddy replied.

"But I..."

"Until later Kitten." Freddy said with a wink.
