Chapter Three: Shape Shifting
Sidney opened her eyes to find herself sitting on the bench in the park her and Gregory dreamed up together several years ago. Gregory was sitting next to her smiling nervously. They sat staring at each other for a moment and Sidney stared at his hand and slowly entwined her fingers with his. "I'm so excited and nervous." Gregory admitted and pulled her hand to his lips placing a light kiss on her wrist. "Me too." Sidney blushed as they both scooted closer and stared into each other's eyes hesitantly. They both knew what they wanted to do they had been thinking about it non-stop since they were last in the dream world. Gregory moved first and put his free hand around the back of Sidney's neck and slowly pulled her in for a kiss. Once their lips met they wrapped their arms around each other and closed their eyes getting lost in their kiss. They never wanted it to end. Their lips slowly parted and their tongues danced together. Finally coming up for air they opened their eyes and looked at each other smiling happily. They were so dazed from their kiss that it took them a few moments to realize that they were no longer in the park but in an old bed inside what looked to be the decrepit house they saw the demonic man come out of before. Gregory slowly released her and they both sat up in the dusty bed. "This can't be good." Gregory said looking at Sidney hoping that the demon they called Freddy wasn't there. "Do you think he's here?" She asked. "Yes." He frowned upset that they were interrupted once again. They both looked around the room to any sign of him seeing nothing. The walls were littered with cobwebs and the pictures on the walls were scratched out. "Hey ass hole if you're here just fucking show yourself already!" Sidney screamed making Gregory jump a bit at her sudden increase of volume. "Sid, don't antagonize him." Gregory warned and put a hand over her mouth and she turned to face him. She slowly removed his hand from her. "I'm sorry… I just can't stand if he's going to mess with us. I just want…" "Want what?" He asked curiously as she stopped in mid sentence. "You…" She admitted looking at him shyly over the top of her glasses making him blush. "I know you've liked me this whole time, and I feel the same way. Now we can be together in here. I don't care what they say about Freddy. If he comes after us he comes after us. It's not like he can kill you anyways you're already dead." "That's true. I can protect you." He said wrapping his arms around her and pulling her back down onto the bed beside him. The rest of the dream they sat there holding each other and kissing and touching each other's faces enjoying being able to feel one another. They reluctantly woke up a few hours later. Freddy never showed himself. After Sidney had a bowl of cereal Gregory begged her to watch Phantom of the Opera until she gave in even though she knew it was based off of the play. They knit picked at the movie the whole time they watched it. Niki came and joined them halfway through the movie. "They really need to make a movie based on the book." Sidney complained again making Niki laugh as she made them some cheese crisps to snack on. "You know I've never read the book." Niki admitted. "Really? You should. It's one of me and Gregory's favorites. I can't even count how many times he's made me read it." She laughed taking a bite of her food. "So how was dreaming for you last night. Did you see him?" Niki asked. "Nothing… I mean we ended up inside the house but never saw any sign of him." She explained holding back a smile remembering what she was doing when the dream shifted them into the dusty old bed. "Oh..." She sounded surprised. "Well just be careful." Niki decided to play some multi player games with Sidney on the Wii to teach her how to use it. It took her about thirty minutes to get the hang of it as Gregory attempted to instruct her. After beating Niki several times at Smash Brothers Brawl they called it quits and Sidney made them some sandwiches for lunch. "Ask her about the other patients. How come we've only seen her and the other two boys and the girl that was attacked thus far?" Gregory asked. "Hey Niki how come I've only ever met you, Darrien, Brent, and Beth? Where are all the other patients?" She asked. "Well you see this hospital has many sections. There are several different kinds of patients here. Like me and Darrien we can cope with this whole thing and be counted on to take our Hypnocil on our own. Then there are the patients that just don't want to keep their mouths shut. Some they brain wash others they just let Freddy have since there is really nothing else that they can do with them. I heard that even some of them want to help him. It's scary to think about. There used to be a wing of the hospital totally dedicated to learning how to control your dreams and how to fight Freddy off. But too many people have died trying to fight back so they shut it down." She explained as she ripped the crust off of her sandwich. "So where is Beth?" Sidney asked. "She's probably in the medical wing for now then she'll probably get some counseling for awhile since she was attacked so badly. It's sad she's been here since she was ten." She said with a frown. "So in a way this is like a safe house for anyone that Freddy has gotten to?" She asked. "Pretty much, but there isn't much of us left. There are some out there that don't feel the need to stay here. But I don't want to put my family in danger." Niki said. "What about the rest of the town? How does he not get to them?" Gregory asked. "How does he not get to the rest of the town?" She asked. "From what I've heard they erased any history of him from the newspapers and all of that. They even tore down his house." She said taking a bite of her sandwich. "He must hate that." Sidney said. "Things must've gotten worse after they did that." "You have no idea." She said with a look of horror in her eyes. "He actually forced someone to pull him out of the dream world and into ours. He killed the whole group of people that were in charge of covering everything up. He even tried to make it here so he could destroy the lab where they make the Hypnocil. But someone sacrificed themselves to pull him back into the dream world. I watched the security footage of it. It was horrible…" "We should watch it too." Gregory suggested getting a little freaked out and standing through Sidney wishing he could hold her. "Can we watch it?" She asked before eating the last bite of her sandwich. "I'm pretty sure Delvin keeps the copy of it in his office. After watching it you'll want to take Hypnocil. Trust me." Niki said taking their empty plates to the sink. "We'll see about that." Gregory said with a smirk. "Let's go watch it. See what we're up against." "I'm going to go and watch it then. See you later." Sidney said leaving the kitchen. "Have fun with that…" Niki replied after her. Sidney made her way to Delvin's office to find him sitting there going through a pile of papers. "Can I help you with something?" He asked taking his eyes off the paper in front of him to look up at her. "Niki told me about the security footage you had of Freddy when he tried to get in here. I wanted to watch it." She said. "Oh… I had it destroyed awhile ago along with the original footage. I couldn't risk someone taking it out of here and making copies. It would cause a horrible epidemic if you know what I mean." He explained and she nodded. "They're really paranoid aren't they?" Gregory asked. "So how was dreaming last night?" Delvin inquired. "It was fine. The dream shifted and put me and Gregory in Freddy's house but that was all. Freddy never showed." She explained. "You're lucky so far, but please be careful. If you know how to do anything in the dream world use it to your advantage. I'm not saying fight back against him just avoid any contact with him. He could just be waiting for you to let your guard down or be toying with you." He warned and Sidney nodded and left his office. "Even if he does come after us I'll protect you. Besides you know how to wake yourself up. You do it all the time." Gregory said with confidence. "I wonder where it is they did the dream training. I mean I'm sure they have all kinds of things written down. Like a dream manual or something." Sidney said noticing how Gregory walked with his hand right through hers again. "I'm sure they do. We'll find it." He said as they heard a faint scream in the distance. Gregory quickly ran in the direction of its source going through several walls to find an older woman with red hair strapped down to a bed with Freddy standing over her. The door burst open and a doctor injected the woman with the same stuff they used on Sidney and Beth and Freddy vanished. He quickly rushed back to Sidney and told her what he had seen. "He hadn't hurt her it seemed more like he was taunting and tormenting her. I wonder why she was strapped to the bed though." He said as they made it to Sidney's room and she sat on her bed. "I don't know… maybe he hasn't come after us again because he has other people to focus on right now." Sidney said with a shrug as she cleaned her glasses with the bottom of her shirt and set them on the nightstand. "I hope so. Gives us more time…" He said with a smile as Sidney kicked her boots off and lay in bed closing her eyes. A week went by and still no sign of Freddy in Sidney's dreams other than random scenery changes. There were times when Gregory thought someone was watching them but other than that dreaming was great. Sidney finally had a real friend and she and Gregory would get closer and closer each time she dreamed. Occasionally of course they'd hear the faint scream from someone in the next wing but that was all. Niki and Sidney were sitting in the bean bag chairs watching as Gregory pushed things across the table. He had started to experiment with moving things the past few days by controlling his anger and they urged him on. Their fun was suddenly interrupted when Brent walked into the room with a black eye and a small slash mark on his cheek. "What the hell happened to you?" Sidney asked and Niki huffed angrily beside her. "You're a fucking idiot you were taunting him again weren't you?" She accused and he nodded. "Delvin is going to be furious when he finds out." "He already knows. Besides it was good that I did. I found out why he was torturing Reena in the south wing. He almost had her convinced to pull him out into the hospital. But he got impatient with her and killed her this morning." Brent explained. "Also could be why you haven't seen him lately Sid." "So you're saying he hasn't been after Sid because he was trying to torture someone into pulling him out with them?" Niki asked in shock. "Yes he's been trying with several people in the far south wing as well." He added. Sidney and Gregory stared between the two with worried expressions. "So he'll come after me now that she's gone?" Sidney asked as Gregory stood beside her. "Maybe I don't know. For all I know they're going to eliminate the ones he's been trying to get to over there." He explained. "What in the sam hill does he mean by eliminate?" Gregory asked. "Eliminate?" Sidney asked. "I don't know what they do with them. For all I know they kill them or leave them to Freddy." Brent said. "You should start taking your Hypnocil Sid." Niki said with worry. "I'll be fine, Gregory will protect me." Sidney replied getting to her feet and left the room. "Screw that I'm never taking that damn Hypo shit I need my dreams… I need you." She said to Gregory locking her door behind her. "I love you too." Gregory said quietly and Sidney froze as she realized what he had just said. She slowly sat on the bed and stared back at him as he sat beside her on the bed. "Say that again?" Sidney said still in shock. "I love you." Gregory whispered into her ear and she could barely feel his finger run down the side of her face sending shivers down her spine. "I love you too…" She smiled and threw herself down on the bed closing her eyes. When she opened them again she was lying in her bed with Gregory practically straddling her. She let out a squeak of surprise and he smiled down at her. The room suddenly shifted into the decrepit old bedroom from Freddy's house and the smell of dust and mildew hit her nose killing the heat that started to swell inside of her as fear took over. Gregory was unmoved by this and looked down at her with lust in his eyes. "Gregory what are you doing?" She asked and he blinked and looked down at her. "Sorry my hormones took over for a second…" He apologized and rolled off of her. "You think he's here?" She asked looking around the room as she sat up in the dusty bed. "Maybe…" He said oddly as she got to her feet. There was a muffled sound coming from outside the house followed by the sound of a door being kicked in downstairs making Sidney jump. When she turned around Gregory was gone. "Gregory… oh shit…" She said out loud then heard his worried voice calling her from downstairs. She quickly ran down the stairs and as she almost got to the bottom of them her feet sank into them like they had turned into mud. Gregory rushed to her from the front room. "Are you ok?" He asked scanning her for any sign of harm as he helped her pull her feet out of the stairs and she fell on top of him pinning him to the dusty floor. "I'm fine." She said as they got to their feet and suddenly Gregory vanished again. "Gregory!" She screamed as the front door slammed shut. Running into the front room she smacked right into Gregory who wrapped his arms around her and stared at the door in horror as someone kicked at it from the other side. "Don't worry Sid I'll protect you." He said and held onto her even tighter making her a little uneasy. The door burst open to reveal Gregory standing there with a horrified look on his face. "Sid!" He screamed as his eyes went wide staring behind her. She stared from the Gregory wrapped around her back to the one standing in the doorway in shock. "Let her go!" He yelled as she let out a terrified shriek. "I'm the real me! Sid he can shape shift!" "Of course I can." He rasped turning into himself putting his charred hand over Sidney's mouth as she let out a scream from hearing his voice. He smelled like burnt flesh. It filled her nostrils making her gag and cough. "So you're the two that got away from me before. Now that I'm through toying with the others, time for some new flesh to play with!" He laughed holding one of his blades to her throat. "No!" Gregory screamed as he ran straight for Freddy grabbing him by the wrist of his bladed hand and pushed Sidney away from him tackling him to the ground. A chunk of Sidney's hair fell to the floor and Gregory was stabbed in the stomach by Freddy's blades. "Gregory!" Sidney screamed. "Wake yourself up!" Gregory yelled kneeing Freddy in the stomach and she obeyed. She jolted awake in bed with Gregory beside her. She instantly inspected him and he was fine. "Damn that hurt, I didn't think it'd hurt like that." Gregory said checking himself then frowned at Sidney. "Sid your hair." He said and she ran her hand through it to find it was missing a large chunk in the front that Freddy had sliced off when Gregory saved her from his blades. "It's alright, but dammit you think they could've told us that he can fucking shape shift! I mean what if that wasn't you in bed with me before the room shifted?" Sidney asked in anger. "Sid… what are you talking about? Once I was in the dream world I was in his front yard until I broke the door in and didn't see you until I helped you off of the stairs. Then I was teleported to the front yard once more and I had to kick the door in again." Gregory explained with a worried expression on his face. "He didn't… you didn't do anything with me in the bed did you?" "No…" She said trailing off with horror in her eyes. "He was on top of me though… staring at me like he wanted to do things to me… then I guess he realized what he was doing then started to act like you… oh god… Gregory…" She said with disgust with the lingering smell of Freddy's burnt flesh still in her nose. "What if I did do something… could you imagine…" She buried her face in her pillow and screamed. "I'll understand if you want to take Hypnocil." Gregory said wishing he could hold her. "Only if I have to, until then no sleep, not until we find out what he's capable of." She said taking in deep breaths to calm herself. There was a knock at her door. "Come in." Brent closed the door behind him. "I take it you saw him." He said sitting on the bed next to her and lifted the tuft of her hair that had been cut short by Freddy's blades. "Don't touch me." She said through gritted teeth pulling away from him. "Just trying to help. I told you he'd come after you. You're still new to all of this. You should really just take some Hypnocil." He said setting a bottle in her lap. "I don't need your fucking dream suppressants. I need my dreams. I have Gregory to protect me." She said annoyed glaring at him through her hair. "You think your little ghost lover is always going to be around to protect you from Freddy?" He asked with a laugh. "I'm never going to leave you. I will always be here." Gregory reassured her as he gave Brent an angry glare and shoved him off of the bed and threw the bottle of Hypnocil at his head. "What the hell?" Brent yelled as he got to his feet and left the room taking the bottle of pills with him. "Thanks." She smiled a bit and let herself fall back into bed and stared at the ceiling. Gregory laid beside her. "What are we going to do? I can't risk doing anything with you in my dreams. There is no way to tell you two apart. I really thought it was you…" She said turning to him as a tear streamed down her face. "I don't want to take Hypnocil, but I don't want to run into Freddy again either…" "I'll help you stay awake." He promised and slowly tucked her hair behind her ear. "You're getting really good at that." She said with a smile. "I only learned it for you." He admitted as she stared at the shortened clump of hair Freddy had sliced. "I think I need a haircut." She frowned. "I think we need to find some answers on Freddy." Gregory replied. "We should find where they used to train in their dreams. We need to know what all he is capable of and what we could be capable of." "Let's go wandering then." She said with a smile slipping her shoes on. They checked every door only to find that most of them were empty patient rooms. "There must be only you, Brent, Niki, Darrien, and that other girl who was attacked living in this wing." Gregory said and ran ahead through several rooms. After going through an entire hall of empty patient rooms he took a left and made it into a room with five beds in a row. There was a desk facing all of the beds with a pendulum in the center facing the beds and two stacks of papers sat on the desk. Looking closer to the beds the one in the middle had slash marks through the sheets and pillow resembling Freddy's blades soaked with dried blood. Gregory went through the door to find that it was chained shut and after that was a locked metal door labeled restricted. He quickly made his way back to Sidney to tell her what he had found. "Well great now what are we supposed to do?" Sidney said as they made their way back to her room. "Why don't you ask? You never know." He suggested and Sidney made her way to Delvin's office to find Beth sitting there with a bandage over her face talking to him. "Yes Sidney?" He asked turning to her and Beth looked up to her. "Oh you're Sidney? I've been hearing about you. Sorry we never got properly introduced. I'm Beth." She smiled and held her hand out to her. Sidney shook her hand wondering how someone who's been there so long could be so cheery. "Can I help you with something?" Delvin asked. "Yeah I was wondering about what happened in the room where you used to learn how to control your dreams and if I could see any of the notes or research you have from it." She said as Beth frowned at her. "We don't talk about that. No one should be experimenting with their dreams. We can't risk him getting any stronger." He said sternly. "Gregory told me what was in the room. Something really bad must've happened to just up and leave the room the way you left it." She explained. "I don't want to hear about this!" Beth yelled and ran out of the room covering her ears. "What was that all about?" Gregory asked staring after her. "Sorry she was there when it happened. She tries not to remember it." Delvin said sadly. "Just tell me. It's not like it's helping me any to be left in the dark about everything." Sidney said becoming frustrated with how hesitant they were to reveal much of anything to her. "First tell me why you want to read our dream research." He said folding his hands on the desk in front of him as she took a seat. "Because I need to know what I could be capable of. I already know how to do a lot of things in the dream world but I'm sure there is a lot that I don't know. I'm not saying I'm going to attack Freddy but being able to protect myself would be nice. And no one told me he could fucking shape shift!" She said angrily shuttering as she remembered what could have happened. "So you've seen him then?" Delvin said mostly to himself. "Yes but I'm fine Gregory protected me. That's what I'm trying to tell you. I have Gregory to protect me, having more know how on what Freddy is capable of would be helpful so we don't have to deal with him like we already have again…" "What do you mean? Tell me what happened." He asked. "He could have…" She began trying to shake the fear that overcame her just thinking about it. "Sidney why are you so insistent on dreaming? Why won't you just take Hypnocil and stop putting yourself in danger?" Delvin asked outright making Sidney realize something. "I do it for Gregory…" She said quietly. "Since I've been here dreaming is so real. It's almost like Gregory is alive. There is so much to explore with him. I don't want to give that up." She explained as Gregory lightly squeezed her shoulder and she smiled weakly up at him. "Oh…" Delvin said with a sad look. "Is it really worth the risk?" "He is all that I have." She said with all seriousness. "And you're all that I have." Gregory said beside her. "You really are different from everyone else here. No one has actually wanted to know about anything fully they're just happy having no dreams and not having to deal with the reality of it all. Tell me what happened in your last dream with him and I'll tell you everything want to know and more." Delvin promised and Sidney gladly told him her dream.While AFF and its agents attempt to remove all illegal works from the site as quickly and thoroughly as possible, there is always the possibility that some submissions may be overlooked or dismissed in error.
