Chapter Five: Adele's Nightmare

Adele laid quietly in the bed, the anesthesia still gripping her in its dreamless sleep, the heart monitor beeping steadily and slowly. The television was extremely quiet, only giving the room some sort of life. Tubes came from her mouth, and she was pallid. They were still transfusing her with blood, trying to replenish some of what she lost during the incident and the emergency surgery. A district attorney had already began to blame a disturbed male counselor for the attack... despite Raven's claims that she was attacked by a ghost... great... a cover up... how much was the bastard owner paying for it?

She finally awoke, blinking softly, before sitting straight up, too quickly for her stitched side, and she winced, holding it as she immediately called the nurse to get the tubes out. After painfully pulling them out with a gag, she rubbed her throat and looked over to the television, which still showed that painfully red headed vixen running her mouth. Adele rubbed her eyes, and blinked, before gasping at the date. It had been four days since she had been attacked, and she swallowed, dreading what was happening at the camp without her. Her thoughts immediately flew to Jason, and she began to slip out of bed, holding her side. Something wasn't right... her vision was blurry, and the voices were echoing... another dream? Adele looked around and growled softly, beginning to search for the burned bastard, running headlong into a flustered nurse.

"Miss you can't leave!" The nurse stammered as she followed her, and she looked back. "I can't let you leave! You're still in need of a lot of care!" She said. Adele just grabbed the hanger where the blood transfusion still pumped blood into her. She narrowed her eyes and looked away.

"I'll leave whenever the hell I need to, now take this damn thing out of my arm and let me go," she snapped, and the nurse stiffened. She stayed silent, searching the glare that Adele had in her eyes, before looking away, gently sliding the IV out of her arm. Adele smirked, and then nodded. She knew that the nurse could have gotten in trouble for letting a patient leave early, but she had more important fish to fry. She looked back and pulled on her clothing which were laying for her on a chair. She threw her gown on her bed, slipping out the back door, watching the ambulances come in for a moment, hoping that none of them were campers or counselors, before calling a cab.

"Camp Crystal Lake," she said, and the acne faced driver looked at her like she was mad. She snapped at him. "I said fucking Camp Crystal Lake! I have friends there!" She yelled, her thoughts flying to Jason once more as she gripped the leather seating. She was worried about him, not only the fact that people were coming in left and right from Crystal lake with various different ailments.

"Alright alright! I just don't really like that place... my mom told me a lot about it.," he grumbled, before pulling out into the road, driving rather quickly. "She was an old camp counselor... I don't care what people say about that place... that was no jealous counselor that tried to kill that girl... It had to be him..." He asked nervously, swallowing as he looked back into the mirror.

"Him, what do you mean him?" Adele asked softly, looking down as she bit her lip. "Who is he..." She whispered softly, shaking her head. The cab driver nearly stopped, looking back at her blatantly now.

"Are you kidding me? I've heard a lot of stories about him... I believe the girl that was attacked... it wasn't by Jason Voorhees or anything... I mean, we all thought it was an urban legend... At least until we heard of the fight that went on at Crystal Lake." Adele looked up, her bloodshot eyes locking onto him.

"Fight, what fight?" She asked, glaring at him as she gripped the seat tighter, her nails nearly breaking from the pressure. The cab driver swallowed, and then looked back at her as they rolled to a stoplight.

"You didn't hear of the fight? Oh man... there was another guy, someone named Freddy Kreuger... child molester or something sick like that... He tried to come back from the dead using the fear that Jason gave kids... but... well... He wasn't expecting Jason to turn on him like he did." Adele kept staring at him as he continued to speak. The car began moving as the light turned green, and the cab driver faced forward. "They had a huge fight at Crystal Lake, and both of them practically killed each other. Now that Jason is back, that other guy has to be back too..."

Adele looked back and out the window, narrowing her eyes and letting out a soft sigh. Freddy Krueger... So that was the guy's name... She closed her eyes and swallowed. Wonderful. She opened her eyes once more and saw the sign that said 'Welcome To Camp Crystal Lake.' She gritted her teeth and got out after the driver said he wouldn't' get any closer.

"Jesus you act like it's a haunted house..." She said softly, before looking up, and around. There were still kids there, which didn't make sense. They should have closed the camp down, especially with Jason being so violent... She swallowed, and stepped forward, and that was when she realized nothing was right...

The second that Adele passed through the gate, the world around her turned black and white, and Freddy Krueger grinned. He was sitting on the top of the counselor's main cabin by the lake, and he rang his claws against each other before standing up from his crouch.

"Well well well... this I quite interesting...," he said, his eyes brightening and a grin spread on his face.. "I guess Hockey-Fuck will be knocked out of his rampage... such a pity... If you couldn't tell, the fear in this place is entoxicating." He took a deep breath, his arms raising up as if he were praising god. "Ahh! Can't you smell it?" He asked with a quirky little smirk. Adele snorted and spat.

"All I can smell is your charred ass parading around like you're the hottest shit in the world," she hissed, glaring at him with a grin. "Don't worry, Jason butchered you once, he'll do it again, and I hold him in high regard." She clenched her fists. "And you better hope I don't get my hands on a chainsaw, because you won't have to worry about Jason then." She smirked and shook her head. "Because I'll be the one ripping you apart you sick fuck." She hissed, and Freddy laughed.

"We'll see, little bitch, we'll see..." He said, before waving his hand like he was waving a wand. "However, you'll find out soon just how much shit you're in...." He cackled and disappeared with a groan and a warp of the air around her, and she blinked, before seeing the camp at night time. There were kids here, which angered her. Why the hell would anyone still be here? She smacked her palm to her head, remembering that the DA made some bullshit story about a camp counselor attacking her.

"ADELE! OH MY FUCKING GOD!" She heard someone scream, and she jumped, her heart nearly stopping as she put her hand to her chest, then a look of shock passed over her head. Her heart was stopped... She looked down, her eyes widening, before she looked over to see Raven and AJ running over, their faces pale. "You're alive! Oh god your alive!" She wailed, tears pouring down her cheeks as she latched onto Adele in a death grip, sobbing harshly. "We got news you were dead from the hospital … they were going to put your body in the CSI morgue and-and-and-" Raven fell into a wave of screams and wails, attracting a few other counselors, who were equally as shocked.

"Wait, I'm supposed to be dead?" She asked, narrowing her eyes as she looked around, only realizing then that her eyesight was actually slightly delayed, the vision lagging as she began to reel. She grabbed her head and fell backwards, both of them yelling out to catch her. She held her chest, which began to throb, as she heard Freddy's laughter in her head. She let out a cry of pain and her back jerked painfully.

"Adele! Adele are you alright!?!?" Raven squealed, holding her as they both collapsed with Adele, laying her on the ground. Adele moaned, holding her head.

"Aagh, I don't know... I...I..." A wave of hatred bubbled up in her, like a boiling pot about to overflow, and she opened her eyes, the pupils dilating to the edges of the iris. She squeezed her eyes shut once more. "Nnngh! Get off! Now!" She suddenly yelled, and both of them slid back, stung. Adele took in a deep breath, and she opened her eyes, the pupils beginning to die down to normal width, before she looked down. "Ahaooww...." She said, shaking her head as a migraine gripped it.

"Are you alright...?" Raven asked softly, swallowing a moment as she watched Adele stand up, and she groaned.

"I don't know... I feel weird..." She said softly, looking over to her friend. "Something's wrong with me..." She whispered, biting her lip. She pulled her shirt up and looked at the scars, and her eyes widened. They weren't bleeding, but they were as open as they were when she received them. She looks up, and she falls back onto her behind. "I'm dead... oh god I'm dead!" She screamed, and grabbed AJ. "Give me your swiss knife! Now!" AJ didn't argue, handing it to her as he watched her in shock, cutting down her arm vertically...

It didn't bleed.

Adele looked up and brought her hands to her mouth, before letting out a terrified scream. "Oh god!! Oh god Oh god Oh...." She heard a shift behind her, and they all looked back. AJ and Raven screamed as they saw the hockey- masked murderer glaring them down, his machete gripped hard in his hand. Adele stood up shakily, and watched as Jason cocked his head. There was a long silence, then...

"Adee...lee..." The throaty rumble of Jason's voice was heard, and Adele took a step forward. "Adeelee?" The serial killer repeated, glaring at her as he began to walk to her.

"Jason..." Adele said softly, seeing the bloody machete. She reached her hand out, finally touching that soggy waterlogged fabric of his jumpsuit, and gripped it, almost needily, before hugging him. Jason gasped, looking down as his weapon slipped out of his hand, and he brought his arms nervously around her, hugging her. "Jason...I...I think I'm dead..." She whispered, tears unable to pour down her cheeks as she hugged him tightly. Jason hummed softly.

"Dead l-like... Jay-son..." He said softly, looking down at her. Adele nodded into his chest, biting her lip. "Dead...l-like...bad man..." He said softly. Raven and AJ watched, their eyes widening as they both looked over to each other.

"J...Jason...?" Raven finally said, standing up as she gained the courage to finally speak to him. "Jason... do you know wh-why she's like this?" He looked at her for a long while, as if debating whether or not to crush her skull between his hands, but he only hugged Adele tighter.

"B-buh-bad m-man..." He stuttered, his eyes closing. "B-bad mah-man give... bad things t-t-to Ah-d-deelee," he said, and Adele looked up.

"Bad things? J-Jason what do you mean by bad things?" She asked frantically, panic growing in her voice, but she gasped as Jason's hands moved to her cheeks, pressing the forehead of that mask to her head.

"C-calm..." He said softly, and Adele looked up at him, a faint purplish blush sliding onto her cheeks, before she looked away. "B-bad m-man give... m-mean th-things to A-Adeelee...M-make her h-have special things." He said softly. "C-can feel..." He hummed softly, as if whimpering, struggling with the words he was trying to say. "A-angry... f-feelings." She looked at him and then looked away shivering. Something was definitely different about her, especially the fact that she was dead. She sighed softly and then shook her head.

"Don't worry about it Jason, we'll find out soon... now we gotta find Freddy before he does anything else to anyone else," she said with a growl, going to a wood pile to pick up an axe, holding it in her two hands darkly. "We'll find him and kick his ass yet... and I'll make sure he doesn't return in this lifetime or any others." She hissed, her pupils dilating. Raven looked at her, and swallowed...

They were going to have one hell of a night...
