Chapter Four: Useless Information
Luckily Delvin didn't question her and Gregory's relationship and he took her to the room that Gregory had described to her. There was a faint lingering metallic smell of blood in the room when they entered and the air was unpleasantly cold. The lights flickered on and Sidney slowly approached the bloodied bed in the middle of the room.
"So what happened in here?" She asked as Delvin gathered some papers off the dusty desk.
"Six years ago we got a patient who had the capability to pull others into her dreams. She was the one that came up with the whole idea in the first place. Her name was Stacey. Before she came to us she had already mastered the dream world and unfortunately was exposed after seeing her best friend murdered in front of her by Krueger. Her friend was related to one of the parents that killed him. She taught several of the patients that were willing to learn how to defend themselves in the dream world. Beth was among one of them. But once he caught on to what we were doing he pulled Stacey into a coma during one of our sessions so she couldn't wake up and he killed her so we shut this wing down. We were only at it for a few months but we learned a lot from her. The rest involved other than Beth had to be transferred to the south wing and have been killed off since then." Delvin explained sadly as he gathered all the papers off the desk and Sidney helped him carry the rest of the notebooks out of the room.
"So can Freddy only invade one person's dream at a time?" She asked as he closed the door behind them.
"Yes. He can jump from dream to dream. The only way to get to multiple people at once is to pull them all into one dream. He didn't like it when they started to all gang up on him with new knowledge about his world. And you have your spirit friend linked to you so you're lucky in a way. Plus he's already dead." He explained as they made their way down the corridor.
"Not in the dream world." Gregory added with a smile.
"Is it strange that Gregory feels like he's alive again when he's in the dream world since we've been here?" Sid asked as they set all the papers and notebooks on the desk in her room.
"Not really, once you're exposed to him your dreams will always be real. Even if he isn't in your dream at the time you could accidentally hurt yourself in the dream such as hit your head and you'll wake up to find the bump is still there… Well you have fun going through this mess. I know you have Gregory to protect you in your dreams but please be careful." He warned and left the room closing the door behind him.
"Looks like it might take awhile to go through all of this." Gregory frowned.
"Yeah, but that's ok it'll give me something to do until I feel comfortable enough to fall asleep again." She said and began to go through all the papers.
Her and Gregory started to read through all of it. Luckily Gregory was getting so good at interacting that he could flip the pages himself now making it a lot easier. A few hours went by and there was a light knock on her door.
"Come in." She replied and Niki walked in carrying two plates of food making Sidney's stomach rumble making her realize she hadn't eaten in quite awhile.
"Haven't seen you in awhile and I figured you'd be hungry. I made us some salad and alfredo. So what is all of this?" She asked motioning to the stacks of notebooks.
"Doing some dream research. Delvin let me have the notes from when they were doing training on how to fight back in your dreams." Sidney explained as she sat on the bed next to Nikki and dug into her food.
"Oh yeah Beth mentioned it a few times. I'd never be brave enough to do something like that. I'm so afraid of seeing Freddy that I take my Hypnocil two days before it's supposed to wear off." Nikki admitted stabbing her fork into her salad.
"How long does it last?" She asked taking another bite.
"Well all of ours last a week. It's a little injection and that's all. But in pill form it only lasts a day. They have all different kinds of doses. In their adrenaline they administer to us when they have to wake us up from Freddy has a small dose that lasts a few hours until we can get our stronger dose. I've heard they even make the kind that lasts for up to a month, but I heard they were having problems with it." She explained.
"Wow that's just loony to be that paranoid. I guess after what happened today though you can't really blame them can you?" Gregory said standing beside Sidney.
"Have they ever thought about making something that could just keep Freddy out so you can still dream? I could go for that." Sidney replied.
"I doubt that'd be possible. We don't even really know what he is or how he became what he is now. He gets to us in our dreams so we stop the dreams and we stop him. That's really all we can do." She said finishing her salad.
"Well that sucks… I love dreaming with Gregory now that things feel so real in the dream world." Sidney admitted and looked to Nikki for her reaction.
"I bet you do." She winked at her making her and blush and Gregory shyly look away for a moment.
"Something… scary and… disturbing happened earlier…" She said remembering the feel and smell of Freddy's hand over her mouth making her shutter.
"You can tell me you know. It always helps to talk about things…" Nikki urged her on. Sidney told her everything that happened as they finished their dinner.
"That's just creepy. I remember the last time I saw him. Right before I woke up he licked my face." She said with a shiver. "No one should ever have to suffer that demonic man. It sucks that no one really knows too much about him other than before he died. It's not like you can just sit down and have a conversation with him."
"He's too busy tormenting and trying to get others to spread the fear so he can get to new victims." Sidney said.
"You find anything good yet in those notes?" Nikki asked as she watched a page flip itself. "Hi Gregory." She smiled and waved towards the desk and he waved back.
"He waved. Luckily he can flip the pages now so it's a lot faster than doing it by myself. Apparently we could do just about anything that Krueger can do. The only thing he has against us is he knows the world better and is stronger and faster. Unfortunately the most me and Gregory have ever done is scenery and clothing changes." Sidney explained.
"Oh… sorry I'm not that into it. I was never really into my dreams before and now I just don't dream. I guess I'll leave you two to it. See you tomorrow." She said leaving with the empty dishes and closed the door behind her.
The night went on and her and Gregory finished reading through all the notes. It turned out that Beth was only ten when they did this and she could do a lot in the dream world. It was noted several times that she was very good at creating other people in the dream world. She would definitely ask her about it the next time she saw her. As she read notes done by Stacey about how to pull others into her dreams her eyes began to get heavy. Gregory noticed and nudged her awake.
"Maybe you should just take some Hypnocil and get some sleep." Gregory suggested.
"No I'm not going to leave you just floating around here while I sleep. You'd be bored to death… I don't want to sleep without you. I haven't in seven years…" She admitted making him smile.
"I know… but I don't want you to deprive yourself of sleep just for me." He pleaded.
"I'll be fine." She reassured him rubbing her eyes.
"Please just try it. If you don't like it then you don't have to take it ever again." He begged pulling the nightstand drawer open revealing a bottle of Hypnocil. Sidney sat and started between the bottle and Gregory for a few moments.
"Ok I'll try it." She finally gave in.
"Thank you. I know you don't want to deal with Freddy again anytime soon and neither do I. I know it's a bit of a sacrifice giving up your dreams but might as well give it a try. You never know it might not be that bad." He said trying to make her feel better.
"I know. I just really enjoy dreaming with you, especially now." She smiled setting her glasses on the nightstand and took the bottle of pills out of the drawer. Huffing as she read the label on the bottle she made her way to the kitchen and got herself a glass of water. She downed the water with the pill and laid down in bed. Gregory joined her.
"What are you going to do while I sleep?" She asked as she clicked the lamp off.
"Be a creepy ghost and watch you sleep." He laughed. "I don't know maybe snoop around a bit."
"Oh well if you get too bored just wake me up." She said and felt him lightly kiss her on the cheek. "Goodnight."
"Night Sid." Gregory said and after a few moments Sidney laid on her side with her back to him and he concentrated enough to run his fingers up and down her back until she fell asleep. Sleep was nothing but a never ending blackness and it felt like she was stuck in a black abyss forever until finally her eyes slowly opened to see Gregory looking around the room frantically standing at the foot of the bed.
"Never ever ever EVER take that Hypnocil poison ever again!" Gregory yelled and sat on the bed to calm himself.
"What happened?" She asked wearily afraid of the answer.
"Once you were asleep everything went black. It was nothing but darkness all around me." He explained.
"That's what it was like for me too! I felt like I was there forever, just nothingness surrounding me and complete silence. I don't know how everyone here can stand it. I'd rather chance running into Freddy then take their dream killers again." Sidney admitted.
"Agreed." Gregory said with a nod. Sidney gathered her clothes and decided to take a shower. It would seem strange to others but Gregory had seen her naked since she was first committed. It was something that never really bothered her. He never left her side since she released him and it's not like he could go far so they broke the awkward barrier with that long ago.
Sometimes it bothered Sidney that she had never seen him, and with the way dreaming was now there was as huge possibility that they might be together like that sometime soon if they could learn to avoid Freddy. She knew he thought about it too but it was one of those silent thoughts they both had been attempting thus far to keep at bay until they knew it was safe for them to do such things.
Her and Gregory had decided that they needed to talk to Beth in the hopes of learning more about the dream world. Once she was dressed they made their way to Beth's room. Her door was open and Beth was sitting at her desk with crayons and a coloring book.
"Oh hi Sidney." She said with a smile. "I know it seems childish but this helps to calm me down." She motioned to the coloring book. "Sorry about freaking out yesterday. It was kind of rude. It's not like you know everything that's gone on here. I don't blame you for being curious. I was talking to Nikki and she told me about you and your ghost friend. You are a bit different from most kids we've had." She said looking around the room. "Is your ghost friend here?" At that Gregory picked up a crayon and wrote 'hi' on her paper making her gasp.
"That is so neat. I'm kind of jealous. Before Freddy I used to make up friends in the dream world to play with… I miss my dreams… I purposely missed my dose of Hypnocil to dream just before you came. But I got careless and got too into playing with a friend I had made and he got to me." She frowned.
"I was meaning to ask you about that. How do you do that?" Sidney asked and Beth looked up at her shyly.
"You still don't take your Hypnocil do you?" She asked.
"I tried it last night. It was horrible." She shook her head.
"I know… you get used to it though. Sort of… Nikki mentioned that you were going through the notes from our group dream sessions last night. I can't say I don't blame you. I would dream more often if I knew how to wake myself up. I used to create copies of myself and everyone else in the dream world. They used to distract him long enough. But now it doesn't matter. He's so strong now that he can sense if they're real or not." She said sadly.
"Dang it, that could have been useful." Gregory frowned.
"You and Delvin have both mentioned Freddy getting stronger. How does that work?" Sidney asked.
"We noticed that the more he kills the stronger he gets. There is no way to weaken him. I know your ghost friend can protect you but please be careful. He is capable of so much. He won't just hurt you physically but mentally and emotionally as well. If he watches you enough he'll start to play off your weaknesses once he figures them out." She warned.
"Thanks." Sidney said and slowly left the room. "Dammit it seems like there is no way around him. I just want to dream…" She admitted sadly and felt the light touch of Gregory's hand on her shoulder as she rested her forehead on the wall closing her eyes.
"What's wrong?" Nikki asked behind her and she turned around to face her.
"I tried sleeping last night after taking Hypnocil and it was horrible. It even affected Gregory." She explained.
"What do you mean?" She asked.
"It was just a never ending abyss of darkness and silence. It felt like an eternity. It was like that for the both of us." She replied as Gregory looked at her longingly.
"But you were together weren't you?" She asked.
"No we weren't." She said with a frown.
"Oh… the link between you two must be strong then if the Hypnocil also affected him. That's got to mean something right?" She said with a weak smile.
"I don't know. I just don't know what to do. All I want to do is dream but Freddy…" She said looking at the ground.
"I'm sorry. I guess the Hypnocil doesn't really bother me since I never paid much attention to my dreams in the first place. Come one lets go do something to take your mind off of it." Nikki suggested leading Sidney down the hall and into the game room. They played several games and ate lunch. Nikki spent the day trying to distract Sidney as best she could. After they ate dinner Gregory decided that he'd help Sidney stay awake as long as possible.
"I know you plan on just staying awake. So I figured I'd let you have this to keep yourself busy. I have two of them so I figured you could use one." Nikki said with a smile and pulled a laptop out from underneath her bed.
"Holy shit I haven't used one of these since before I was first committed." Sidney said her eyes lighting up.
"Take it, it's yours. I meant to give it to you earlier. I took everything off of it and kept just my games and programs on it. I even downloaded a Phantom of the Opera game on there for you. It's like a fun mystery game. And the internet is all set up too." She explained. Sidney just started at it in awe as she opened it up completely speechless.
"You need to show me how to work that thing!" Gregory said excitedly.
"Oh my God Nikki you are amazing!" Sidney hugged her.
"It's nothing really. I'm sure my mom and dad will send me another one soon once they come out with it." She said, making Sidney frown.
"I wish my parent's would send me things… I haven't heard from them in years… my Grammy was the only one who ever sent me care packages until she passed away." She explained sadly.
"Well if there is ever anything you need just let Delvin or Debois know. I know Darrien's parents don't ever send him anything. Delvin lets him order clothes and games online." She explained while stretching followed by a yawn. "Here's the power cord to the computer. I'm going to go to bed." She said handing the nicely wrapped cords to her.
"Ok thank you again for the computer I don't know how to repay you." Sidney said as she realized she didn't really have anything to give in return.
"It's ok. That's what friends are for." She said making Sidney smile.
"I really like her." Gregory said happily.
"Gregory says you're awesome by the way. Sweet drea… sweet non dreams." She said with a laugh.
"Good night see you two tomorrow." She said walking them out the door shutting it behind her.
"I've never had a friend other than you since I was committed. I really like Nikki. I know she doesn't like that I choose to not take Hypnocil but she still helps us out anyways." Sidney said as they made their way to her room.
"I know. It's nice that she talks to me too. Now let's play with your new…" He said not remembering what it was called.
"Laptop?" Sidney said with a smile.
"Yeah that thing." Gregory laughed.
Sidney and Gregory spent the night playing on the laptop. First they played all the way through the Phantom of the Opera game finding that is was only a few hours long. Then they started playing on the internet once they figured out that Mozilla was the internet browser. She went to some sites she used to go to in high school. Once she remembered her email address she attempted to login only to find that it no longer existed. She started to get sleepy around four in the morning but then luckily they noticed the bookmarks tab and clicked on one labeled Netflix. They searched through all the movies on the site and started to watch some movies. Gregory had to nudge Sidney awake a few times but they made it through the night.
Sidney made her way to the kitchen barefoot in jeans and a dark green tank top being lured by the aroma of fresh coffee. Brent stood pouring himself a cup and took a sip before noticing her and just stared at her in horror. He shook his head and stared back at her as if she was going to change into a monster at any second.
"Can I help you?" She asked and he let out a relieved sigh.
"Sorry I thought I fell asleep again… Last night he tricked me. Normally he takes everyone to his house or the boiler room but everything stayed the same. He was pretending to be you…" He explained looking away from her.
"Why haven't you been taking your Hypnocil?" She asked.
"He's planning something. I was trying to figure it out. But he's so strong now. He can sense me the second I fall asleep." He replied taking another drink of his coffee. "He came to me as someone else too… a boy… I don't know who he was though. He seemed very happy when I didn't know who he was…"
"What did he look like?" Sidney demanded.
"He was me I know it." Gregory said with worry.
"He was maybe eighteen or nineteen with messy brown hair and green eyes." He described making Sidney's eyes go wide.
"Why would he come to you as Gregory?" She said confused.
"You mean your ghost friend? I don't know… but I'm pretty sure he's pissed that he can protect you." He said with a shrug taking another drink.
"Fuck… what the hell are we supposed to do? We know little to nothing about him other than he wants to kill us and get rid of the Hypnocil. And I'm not taking that shit again. It was horrible." She said pouring herself a cup of coffee not wanting to fall asleep anytime soon.
"It takes some getting used to. And as for getting rid of the Hypnocil it's almost impossible. They distribute it to every drug store and sell it over the counter. You could go into any store and buy it. But the only place you can get the kind that lasts a week is here. There is no way to get rid of it all." He explained pouring himself another cup of coffee as Sidney added lots of sugar and creamer to hers. "Would you like some coffee with you cream and sugar there?" He asked sarcastically.
"Fuck off. I haven't had coffee since before I was committed ok and this is the only way it tastes good. At least there is Hypnocil out there for everyone I guess, one less thing for everyone to worry about, but do you think there is a chance that he could actually get rid of Gregory?" She asked with caution afraid of the answer.
"Please say no…" Gregory pleaded.
"I don't think so. I mean he's protected you before right and nothing happened?" He asked as she joined him at the table.
"He stabbed him in the stomach. He said it hurt but once we were awake he was fine." She explained.
"Then you'll be fine. Just don't let him get to you. Just be glad he can't read our minds. We'd be totally screwed then." He said with a worried expression.
"How do you know he can't already?" Gregory asked.
"And you're sure he can't?" Sidney asked.
"Trust me if he could I would have been dead a long time ago and so would you." He said reassuring her.
"I hope you're right." She said taking a drink of her coffee.
"Right about what?" Nikki asked entering the kitchen in her pink and yellow striped pajamas.
"Freddy not being able to read our minds." Brent replied.
"Is that all you ever talk about? You dreamt last night didn't you?" Nikki asked her voice filled with annoyance.
"Geeze I was just trying to help Sidney out and let her know what happened to me last night. Would it kill you to be nice to me for once instead of constantly spitting venom at me?" He said standing from the table and rushed out of the kitchen leaving his coffee behind.
"Yikes… she really doesn't like him does she? I mean he is a bit annoying but it's not like he purposely exposed her to Freddy, he didn't know what was going on." Gregory said staring after him.
"Sorry about that. He just gets on my nerves. He acts like it's some sort of game with Freddy, its life and death. And you should really try taking Hypnocil again. You look so tired." She said with concern eyeing her cup of coffee. "What are you drinking?"
"Coffee with lots of sugar and creamer." She said. "And as for taking Hypnocil I'm fine without it. Besides I'm not putting Gregory through that again." She said sternly.
Nikki made them some breakfast and the mood got lighter. They spent the day watching some movies with Beth avoiding any talk of Freddy. Beth was very excited to spend the day with them and talked to Gregory a lot. That night all four of them worked together to make a nice big meal that even made Darrien leave his room to come and join and despite the argument from earlier Brent also joined them.
It was strange for Sidney to see everyone in the same room since she had been there almost two weeks now and this was only the second time seeing everyone together. Everyone ate and attempted to make small talk and Gregory had fun moving things around the table. Darrien seemed rather interested in him.
"We should talk to him after dinner." Gregory suggested and Sidney nodded.
Delvin came by and grabbed a plate leaving them a cake for dessert. It almost felt like they were a family of some sort. No one dared to mention their dreams or Freddy but everyone got along just like a family would. It was surprising that Nikki and Brent didn't get into it, they just maneuvered their conversations around each other as if it them all getting together like this was something that happened often enough for them to turn it into an art form.
Sidney did her best to pay attention to everyone's conversations as it got harder and harder to concentrate as her eyes got heavy. She tried to listen in on Darrien and Brent's conversation about a video game they both play together when all of a sudden it was like someone turned the volume down. Next thing she felt was a hand on her shoulder. She turned to see who it was only to see Freddy's horrific face staring back at her and he was smiling evilly revealing his sharp pointed teeth.
"Welcome back." He laughed and pulled her backwards out of her chair slamming her onto the floor making her land hard on her back. The impact knocked the breath out of her and the pain in her back was so sharp it hurt to move. Freddy stood over her and got down on one knee next to her. "Your ghost boyfriend can't help you now." He rasped as he leaned in closer to her.
