Chapter One: The Beginning of the End by Hurricane
My eyes opened wide and I abruptly sat up, sweat pouring down my forehead and tears falling from my eyes. For months I had been suffering terrible nightmares of a man in a brown hat. A man with a green and red sweater, a horrible burned face and knives on his fingers. This man hadnt left me alone, and the dreams were getting worse and worse. I have awoken from these hellish visions and whatever happened in them, had happened to me in real life. My hair had been cut in the dream as he tried to slash me, and when I awoke, my bed was covered in hair. Situations like this were happening more often and they were getting worse and worse. Nothing has worked in trying to keep them at bay, I've taken medication and thought of nice things before I slept, but they always ended the same way; me getting chased through a boiler room and running into a dead end, where "Freddy's Coming For You" was graffittied over a locker. I'd turn around and.... the man.... would be standing right behind me, running the knives on his fingers together making a piercing noise.
But this time it didnt seem like a dream. It was real, I knew it. It was now or never. I needed to find why this was happening and figure out how to stop it. I leapt to my feet in the familiar halls that have been haunting me for so long. I paced forward, quietly, steadily, heading down the usual paths. Machinary surrounded me, hissing steam, covering the hall with smoke. The lights above flickered before giving way, but I paced on. I turned right down an open hall way and there in front of me sat the locker. "Freddy's Coming For You".I heard a floorboard squeak and I spun around, standing face to face with the man who has been haunting me for so long.
"Who the fuck are you and why are you doing this to me?" I screamed as the man slowly paced towards me. "Well that's no way to introduce yourself is it, darling? Do your parents know you talk like that?" he said as he walked through the steamy shadows, his knives screeching as the brushed one another. "Enough with the fucking games, I said tell me who the fuck you are RIGHT NOW!" I screamed, once again breaking into tears as I backed, running into the locker. Nowhere to go, no escape. "Well, since you asked so nicely, I'll tell you what; I'll tell you who I am... but honey, theres always a catch, because see, once I tell you, I'm going to have to kill you!" he said, looking up, his horribly burned face barely visible in the dark room. "Please, please don't! What have I done? I don't even fucking know you! Please let me go!" I said, falling downwards as my legs shook, struggling to hold me up. "Too late, honey. There is no escape, because I am Freddy Krueger and I am coming for you!" he said, laughing harder and harder. "Now, listen to me, bitch, because I'm only going to say it once. You think you're safe in your dreams, because they aren't real right? Well now you fucking know that your nightmares can come true. There is no escape, no release, no waking up. You see, bitch, this is my home, my hunting grounds, and I've come to be a gentleman and introduce you to my world, bitch!".
I jumped backwards, opening the middle locker, as he approached me, the sound of his feet rebounding through my head. I found a wrench and tore it from the locker before lunging at Freddy, hitting him square in the face with it. He stumbled backwards, looking away, before turning back to me, smiling. He rubbed his jaw before smirking at me. I tried to run, but he stuck his claws out, piercing me right through my stomach. I looked down, as blood poured from the wound onto the dark, cold floor below. "This isnt real! YOU'RE NOT REAL! Please, wake up, please wake up!" I screamed, coughing up blood as my eyes began to roll into my skull. "Sorry to disappoint you sweetie, but you aren't waking up. This is your last stop. You see, my strength grows as people remember my name. Freddy Krueger. Freddy Krueger. Freddy fucking Krueger!". He kneeled down beside me and ran his hands through my blood-covered hair. He leaned in and whispered into my ear; "Now I know you're hoping that this isnt real, that this is some horrible nightmare you will wake up from and continue your day-to-day activities that you call 'living'. You see, sweety, this isnt a fairy tale. This is fucking reality, and reality is that you're in my world, bitch, and you arent getting away!". He stabbed me again, through the neck and I fell backwards onto the floor, blood pouring from me. Motionless. Dead.
"Wake up, Sarah, you have to go to school!" I sat up, sweating and crying, in my own bed. My mother approached me and put her arm around me, asking what is wrong. I told her not to worry, it was just a nightmare and assured her I was fine, but that was most definitely not the case. For this was the beginning of my real life nightmare, as our world and "his world" came face to face.

I like it so far. Great chapter. Only thing is, are they the same person, the one being chased and Sarah? If so, you said she died in her dream, so therfore she wouldn't wake up.

That would be addressed in the next chapter, right? Plus, as you said, if they were the same person, she wouldnt be alive. .
