Chapter Eight: Compulsion
Freddy actually feared death for the first time since he was burned alive as he waited the long few moments for Sidney to fully pass out. He used all the power he could to will her to sleep sooner. Just a moment after he became extremely lightheaded he was instantly kneeling beside the bloodied bathtub the second she was fully unconscious.
He grabbed her wrists and healed them shut finally killing the pain in his making it a bit easier to focus. As weak as he felt he was still able to pull her out of the tub and into his lap. She was so far gone that she was passed out even in the dream world. Placing his hands over her chest he replenished her lost blood as fast as his power would allow.
Once they were both stable he instantly threw her off of him and the room shifted making her land in his bed. She stirred a bit and he hovered over her and slapped her awake.
"Wake the fuck up!" He screamed and her eyes snapped open and she let out a cry as he eyes set on him.
"Why couldn't you just let me die!" She yelled as tears welled in her eyes and she covered herself with the dusty comforter. She was so close to being free and of course Freddy had to bring her back. He grabbed her hard by the shoulders and shook her angrily.
"You almost killed me! No one has ever been able to even hurt me and now you're fucking everything up for me! If you attempt anything like this ever again I will not hesitate to pull you into a coma!" He threatened loudly holding her only a few inches away from his face making her wince and turn her head away as tears streamed down her face. Of course he knew that he was partially responsible for her being in such a state that she actually went through with trying to kill herself. He knew it was a thought deep down inside of her but never thought she'd actually do it. Most people only ever think about it and are too afraid to take their own life, but if it wasn't for him she would have been successful.
"Why can't you just leave me alone?" She asked sincerely through her tears making Freddy let out a long breath as he practically had to hold his bladed hand back from trying to stab her and he thought about it hard knowing he needed to say something in order to try and keep her from attempting something like this again. Sadly he knew that even if he did pull her into a coma that it would only drive him mad.
"Because of you and whatever little spell you did I am now stuck with you. Linked to you physically and sometimes mentally. It's exhausting. I'm almost compelled to be next to you whenever you're in my world. I even feel a bit stronger just being near you it's almost sickening. I hate it. Now not only do I have to worry about not killing you but you I have to worry about you hurting yourself or someone else hurting you in the waking world." He admitted making Sidney's cries go silent.
"That means it's getting stronger isn't it?" She asked wiping her tears away.
"Yes unfortunately it is. But that's something we'll figure out later. You need to wake up and clean up the bloody mess you made before anyone comes and finds you." He explained taking in deep breaths to keep himself calm knowing that if he upset her again anytime soon he might not be lucky enough to intervene and stop her again.
"What if I want them to find me like this?" She threatened. They'll know something is up if they find me in a bath filled with my blood with nothing to show for it then figure everything out and just kill me so I won't have to do it myself.
Freddy flexed his bladed hand and ended up stabbing his blades into himself to keep from lunging at her. He wracked his brain trying to think of something he could say that would make her not want to end her life.
"Are you sure that's what you want? You should know that if they ever find out about us that they won't just kill you quick and painless. You just attempted to go the quick way out, bleeding out in a manner of minutes. But they will drag it out and make sure we suffer for at least a day if not more. Is that really the way you intended to leave this world?" He asked with a devious smile as he watched the emotions play across her face.
"Alright... I'll clean up." She glared at him and snapped awake to find herself in the bloodied bathtub. She unplugged the drain with her toes and turned the shower on and rinsed all the blood off of herself and cleaned out the tub crying silently.
Freddy growled once she was gone and tore his bed to shreds unable to contain his anger anymore. Being nice to her like that was extremely difficult for him to do, but he had to. If not she may attempt to kill herself with an even faster method next time and he was not going to chance finding out whether or not her death would really kill him. He did notice that when she left he felt his power weaken a bit. It frustrated him that each time she entered his world he felt the bond between them get a little stronger. When she first regained consciousness he did his best to block out what she was thinking but it was hard with how worn out he was. Not only could he hear her thoughts this time but he also heard deeper than that.
Apparently her parents didn't want anything to do with her and she attempted to contact them only to be rejected by her father which is what led to her slitting her wrists. She was ready to die no matter what the consequence was. He sat thinking about what he had learned about her and started to piece some things together that he might be able to use to his advantage along with think up some ways to possibly make healing her faster and easier.
Sidney stared at the knife in disbelief then down to her wrists as she washed the knife in the kitchen sink and set it out to dry. She was really going to give up that easily, not even put up a fight and it sickened her.
"What the hell is wrong with me?" She asked herself out loud before heading back to her room. She sat on her bed not wanting to think about much of anything when her eyes rested on her computer. Glaring at it a tear streamed down her face and she sat there crying silent tears until she buried her face in a pillow and screamed. She was so annoyed with herself and so upset with her parents and hated Freddy. "Oh Gregory you would be so disappointed in me if you had seen how quickly I gave up." She whispered to herself.
Sitting on the edge of her bed she stared at the floor not wanting to fall back asleep and face Freddy again. She knew she had really pissed him off this time considering he had to pretty much save her from herself, but she knew he only did so fearing his own death. A tear streamed down her face as she realized that the only person that would go out of their way to help her was Freddy and he'd only do so to protect himself. Gregory was gone and her parents wanted nothing more to do with her. Her new friends there would most likely betray her the second they knew she was linked to Freddy. She had no one.
Finally turning her light off she laid in bed and cried silent tears until she fell asleep. This time she found herself standing on a catwalk an old boiler room lined with pipes and she couldn't see how far down the flames were as they roared beneath her. There was a sudden scream and she turned in its direction to see a young boy in blue pajamas running towards her as he held his arm that was covered in blood.
"Help me please! The nightmare man is after me again! I think he's really going to kill me this time!" He pleaded and she was about to reach out to him when Freddy appeared between the two of them and lifted the boy by his throat and quickly reached back and dug his blades deep into his chest until his arm went all the way through the boy and he threw him over the edge of the catwalk. A small white entity flew out of the flames and into Freddy.
Sidney stared at him in horror as he wiped some of the blood splattered on his face on the sleeve of his sweater and he admired the blood dripping off of his blades. She turned away from him and attempted to wake herself up but it didn't work.
"Leaving again so soon?" He rasped angrily and took a step towards her making her jump back and catch herself on the railing behind her as she realized she was now stuck in a dead end on the cat walk.
"He was just a little kid! What the fuck is wrong with you, you sick bastard!" She screamed at him her voice cracking with fear.
"If I were you I'd be a little less concerned about who I just killed and more worried about how in the hell were you just in his dream with me!" He yelled back making her go silent and stare back at him with wide eyes. "The link between us is getting even stronger! It's only been three days and you're able to go into others dreams with me! Three days!"
"What the fuck am I supposed to do? I wouldn't be stuck with you if you hadn't killed Gregory! You should have just let me die!" She screamed right in his face leaving no distance between them. She wanted to push his buttons to see if she could get him to attack her.
Freddy was about to reach his blades back but stopped himself as he read her thoughts and took a few steps back from her.
"I know what you're trying to do and it's not going to work." Freddy rasped. "I'm not going to play your fucking game and end your life for you. I know you won't hurt yourself again and I'm not going to do it for you. You're going to live your life until I can break whatever it is you did to me."
Sidney stared at him for a moment then she ran at him and kicked him as hard as she could in the balls and punched him in the face. He instantly sprang up and stabbed his blades deep into her chest and she let out a small cry. He cursed himself for falling for her little trick as he sputtered up blood and he concentrated as hard as he could through the pain and healed her as he slowly pulled his blades out of her. Luckily it worked the way he thought it would and there were only a few trickles of blood from where he had stabbed her and she spat blood at him.
"Just kill me already I know you want to." She taunted.
"Wanting and needing are two different worlds. I want to kill you but I need you alive until I've gotten rid of that damn spell that's got me stuck with your annoying suicidal ass!" He said through gritted teeth as he wiped the blood from his face with his sleeve. He screamed out in frustration and scraped his blades along the pipes making Sidney cringe at the metal screech.
"What the fuck is wrong with you? You haven't even lived your life yet and you're ready to end it?" He asked in disbelief.
"You don't understand what it's like. Gregory was all I had left. My parents don't want me and I've been locked in an asylum since I was fifth teen! The people I've met in Westin Hills will never leave and once they figure out that I haven't been taking any of my Hypnocil they'll lock me in the south wing and never let me leave until you kill me. I have nothing to live for anymore!" Sidney said with tears welling in her eyes realizing the truth in her words.
Freddy didn't know what to do. He needed to keep her alive and keep her from hurting herself. Unfortunately she was right about what they might do to her if they found out about her not taking her Hypnocil. There had to be something he could think of to tell her to keep her from wanting to end her life. He took them to his living room and Sidney sat on the worn couch with her face in her hands and Freddy sat in his chair staring at her trying to think of something anything he could give her to give her some kind of hope.
He hated this, not in the last eighteen years did he have to care about anyone not since his daughter… he didn't even want to remember it, he had put the memory out of his mind for so long and kept it at bay, but fortunately it just might be the only way to get her to cooperate for him. Staring at her as she cried silently into her hands he searched for the words he needed to say. It was so difficult for him to think about it that is was almost hard to say out loud.
"I used to have a daughter you know." Sidney heard him say, but not in his usual raspy demonic voice, he sounded human. It almost alarmed her and she slowly raised her tear stained face to look at him. She was surprised to see a look of despair on his face.
"Fifth teen years ago the people that made this place found out I had a daughter and they tracked her down. After I accidentally killed my wife they took her from me when she was only five and hid her from me. I never could find her and somehow they found her thirteen years after I became what I am now. They tested their first forms of Hypnocil on her. I could never get to her. They used so much of Hypnocil on her that it finally put her in a catatonic state. She'd just sit there and stare into nothing for hours. Eventually she slipped into a coma… then they just stopped giving her Hypnocil. I tried to reach her in her dreams… but she was just gone… I couldn't just let her live like that… Even in her dreams she just sat there and didn't move… So I ended her life for her. It was the most difficult thing I've ever had to do…" Sidney stared at him in disbelief. It was strange for her to even imagine him caring for someone. But she actually felt sorry for him.
"No one should ever have to do something like that…" She said sadly and he looked to her with his human eyes.
"The doctors that all work at Westin Hills now don't even know I ever had a daughter. And they wonder why I want to destroy that place and all the Hypnocil. I have plenty of people I can get to despite the ones that Hypnocil prevents me from getting to. I just want them and that place gone for what they did to Katherine." He explained flinching away from Sidney as she unknowingly reached out towards him and quickly drew her hand back once she realized what she was doing.
"Why haven't you done it yet?" She asked and instantly regretted it when his eyes returned to their normal demonic red color.
"Because of you! I was originally going to have you pull me out but I can't risk it now that we're linked. They'll go after you the second you pull me out and I don't know if I can heal us then." He explained angrily.
"It's not like I asked for this! So don't blame me!" She yelled back at him. Freddy readied his blades to stab her then stopped himself and stabbed them into his chair and he let out a frustrated groan.
"Once this link between us is gone you're going to help me whether you want to or not." He threatened through gritted teeth.
"If you don't kill me first." She taunted. "I have no reason to want to help you other than I feel slightly sorry for you because of what they did to your daughter. What's in it for me?"
Freddy stared back at her trying to think of something anything. "Fine… If you help me I'll get you out of here. But only after this annoying ass link between us is gone."
"Fine." Sidney replied.
"And no more of this suicidal bull shit." He added.
"I can't promise anything." She remarked and he grabbed her by the throat and pointed his blades at her. "I won't… Now will you leave me alone and let me dream in peace?" She pleaded.
"I'll try. I can't guarantee this fucking link between us won't automatically take me to you sometimes." He said shaking his head as he slowly released her.
"Whatever." She said and disappeared to another part of the dream world. Once she was gone Freddy had to fight the urge to follow her and took himself to a little girls dream in dire need to kill something after opening up to Sidney like that about his daughter.
The next few days went by without incident and they stayed out of each other's way as best they could in the dream world. Sidney did her best to try and act normal around everyone and go about like nothing was wrong. Freddy was watching the girl he thought might be able to help them rather closely waiting for her friend to run out of Hypnocil so he could get to her by killing her friend in front of her.
A week went by and Freddy was starting to have a harder time keeping his victims and himself away from Sidney as the link got stronger between them. Now not only could he hear her thoughts when she was in the dream world but also while she was awake without even trying.
Sidney was oddly starting to enjoy the hospital quite a bit now that she had some new clothes and she had decorated her room to her liking. They went outside almost every day. She spent most of her time with Beth and Nikki during the day and she'd always run into Brent at night in the game room. She started to notice that Brent had started to make it a habit to be in there right around the same time as her. It was nice to be liked but also very foreign and uncomfortable for her.
That night she went into the game room to play some mind numbing games to prolong sleep to find that Brent was already in there and had a cup of coffee waiting for her.
"I made you a cup. I figured you'd be up as usual." He smiled offering the cup to her and she took it hesitantly. "You still not used to the Hypnocil?"
"No…" She lied. "I just can't stand the dark nothingness."
"Yeah I know it really sucks…" He agreed. "I don't blame you for only sleeping a little at a time. You're lucky though it's hard to see the dark circles under your eyes because your glasses hid them." He said shyly looking away from her. Brent was really starting to make her feel uncomfortable.
"What do you got there?" She asked quickly changing the subject eyeing the small pile of movies he had stacked on the table.
"Oh just a few new movies I ordered that came today. I know it's weird considering our situation with Freddy but I love horror movies." He admitted laying the movies out on the coffee table for her so she could read the titles and scooted over on the couch making room for her. She took a sip of her coffee and sat next to him on the couch looking over the movies.
Sidney laughed when she read two of the titles. "Wow they're on Scream number four and Final Destination five? That's just ridiculous. I watched those when I was little." She laughed remembering watching them with her brother when he would watch her for their parents when they wanted a night out. It was their little secret.
"Yeah they're ok. They aren't that scary so much as suspenseful and gorey now. But this one…" He said holding the one up labeled 'Insidious'. "Scares me… want to watch it with me?"
"Um sure I guess. Is it gorey?" She asked not wanting to remember the last bit of gore she watched was Freddy killing that little boy over a week ago in front of her.
"No it's more creepy than anything." He shrugged then smiled at her with hope in his eyes. She was wasn't stupid she knew why he wanted her to watch that kind of movie with him, the same reason every guy watched scary movies with a girl, to get close to her and have her hug or clutch onto him during the scary parts.
"Sure." She smiled and his eyes lit up. Brent got to his feet and put the movie on and hooked up two pairs of headphones to the TV so they wouldn't wake anyone and he handed her a pair. Before she put them on she took a long drink of her coffee and pulled a pillow into her lap just in case she did need something to clutch onto during the movie making Brent frown a bit as she scooted to the other side of the couch away from him.
Through the whole movie she caught him glancing over at her several times and she clutched onto the pillow the few times the movie made her jump and when the movie was over he looked a bit upset.
"Want to watch another one?" He offered sounding rather hopeful.
"No thanks I think I'm just going to call it a night." Sidney replied and quickly made it back to her room. "Could he be any more awkward…" She said out loud to herself as she sat on her bed. After staring at the wall for a few moments she finally decided to play a few games online not quite ready for sleep.
Freddy unfortunately caught himself spying on Sidney through any reflective surfaces he could find around her. He rarely watched anyone anymore unless he had special plans for them, yet there he was watching her without conscious decision. It was driving him mad this unexplainable urge to be near her and watch her and hear her thoughts. He even found himself a bit angry at Brent for attempting to get closer to her. After fighting with himself he tore himself away from watching Sidney and went back to watching the girl he was after that could possibly help him get rid of Sidney.
Luckily things seemed to be on his side. He was so close to getting her it would only be a few more days until he could kill the girl's friend and get to her, but the timing had to be right. He was torn away from his thoughts as he felt Brent enter his world. In his little plan to get closer to Sidney he must've forgotten to take his next dose of Hypnocil. Just as he was about to go to him he heard Sidney think about going to bed.
"No…" He said to himself but it was too late Sidney had also entered his world and he appeared right beside her in her room making her let out a worried sigh.
"There has got to be a way for you to get a grip on that." She said seriously.
"You need to wake up, now." He said firmly. "Brent is here and if he sees you and me both…"
"Oh fuck…" She quickly concentrated and nothing happened. "It didn't work."
"Then try harder!" He rasped and attempted to do it himself and still nothing happened.
"What if it's the link? Maybe it's too strong now…"
"Fuck! Get rid of him! He'll just think you're me trying to mess with him!" He yelled cutting her off and he suddenly disappeared. Sidney looked around in confusion and saw Brent now standing in her doorway. Then it suddenly hit her what Freddy had meant. She had to think fast and stared at him for a moment before speaking.
"I can't believe you tried such a lame move to try and get closer to me." She spat at him. "You know it hasn't even been a month since I lost Gregory and here you are trying to make a move on me!"
"I… I'm sorry… I just…" He went silent and looked at her as if something clicked in his head and he turned and began to run in the other direction. "I'm not stupid you ass hole I know it's you!" He screamed as he ran down the hallway she was about to run after him when she heard his footsteps stop.
"Of course it's me… who else would it be!" She heard Freddy laugh and panicked knowing she couldn't run out there and let Brent see her. Grabbing a pencil off of her desk she stabbed it into her left arm and there was a thud and she peeked around the corner to see that Freddy had dropped him from the pain she had caused him and was about to kick him when he vanished from the dream world.
"You stupid bitch why couldn't you just let me kill him!" Freddy rasped angrily appearing in her face as he ripped the pencil out of her arm and healed her within seconds. He threw her to the bed and appeared on top of her his knees holding her legs down and he held her arms above her head. "Would it really be so bad if he was dead? Then you wouldn't have to deal with him fawning over you anymore and I won't have to hear about it every single time you see him!" He yelled his face only a couple of centimeters away from hers.
"Get off of me!" She screamed making Freddy realize how much he enjoyed being in such close proximity to her making him quickly release her. They were now in his living room and she was sitting on his couch and he was standing several feet away from her. She shuddered and shook herself. "Don't do that again you fucking creep ass." She spat at him and disappeared to another part of the dream world.
As Sidney swung on the swings she soon realized what Freddy had said. She was so disgusted with how close he made himself to her that she didn't take in what he had said until now. I won't have to hear about it every single time you see him! What Freddy screamed at her replayed in her head. He could hear what she was thinking even when she was awake now. She shook herself trying to keep calm as she started to add up everything the link had done to Freddy so far, and she knew that things would only get worse as time went on.
Freddy paced his living room unsure of what to do yet alone think about what had just happened. Everything was falling apart because of this girl and there was nothing he could do about it. Thinking about her bed made him shake his head violently as if it would make the truth in the matter disappear. But there is was staring him right in the face. He enjoyed being close to her in those few seconds. All the compulsion he had been having towards her lately completely ceased in that moment with her. It was almost as it that's what his body was trying to tell him to do this whole time. Watching her, purposely listening to her thoughts, appearing near her, holding her down like he just did; all of it was because he simply wanted to be closer to her, physically, touch her and never let go.
