A New Killer Is Born

Chapter 7: New York

I packed at least one suitcase with few pair of clothes, pajamas, toothbrush, toothpaste and my brush. Once I was done with that, I walked outside and walked over to my dad. Everyone was deciding on how we were all gonna get there. Some people wanted to walk, while others complained that that would take too long and rather travel by a train.
"There's no way in hell I'm taking a train, because then we got to sit with all of them fleshys and the worst part is that we got to blend in with them.", Freddy rolled his eyes.
I cocked my eyebrow at what he meant by "blend in". I walked over to my dad and Uncle Leatherface. They both looked down at me and Leatherface looked like he wanted to smile. He sat his chainsaw down and opened his arms out towards me. I smiled and gave him a hug. I buried my face in his stomach, but as I did, I quickly pulled my face away. Uncle Leatherface smelt like those dead corpses that my dad had in the yard. Uncle Leatherface stroked my hair and then let me go.
"Were all taking the train." Pinhead suggested. "So that way none of us would be separated."
"How exactly are we suppose to blend in exactly?", I heard Chucky ask,
Just then, Esther stepped up to Chucky and I watched with a confused expression as she pulled out a little bag and reached her hand inside and pulled out at looked like dust. The dust was black and she sprinkled it on Chucky while saying some weird spell. Just then, Chucky groaned and fell to the floor as I watched his arms grow long into human arm. Same thing went for his legs, his body and his head. Chucky was transforming and when he stood up after a couple of minutes, he was transformed into a human. He had spikey, bushy red orange hair and tan skin. He examined himself and smirked.
"I like it." he smirked.
Just then, Tiffany grabbed Glen and rushed over towards Esther to get the same treatment Chucky did. Esther sprinkled the dust on Tiffany and Glen and said her magic spell. Just then, Tiffany and Glen both grew into humans. Glen was the same height as me, and he had brown shaggy hair that hung over his eyes and had pale skin. Tiffany had pale skin also, and was very beautiful as she had blonde hair tied up in a ponytail.
"How do I look?", Tiffany asked.
"You look beautiful.", Chucky said walking over and hugging her.
I smiled at the sight and then giggled as I saw Glen looking down at himself in confusment. Glen then looked up at me and gave me dirty look. I stopped and rolled my eyes at him as then, Uncle Pinhead came over and said, "That was a very good idea Esther; a very good idea."
"Thank you Pinny." Esther smiled. "Now, who's next?"
I heard someone groan behind me and I looked to see Uncle Freddy shaking his head in disgust. He pushed past me and my dad and walked over to Esther.
"Alright, lets get this done and over with.", Freddy said.
I could tell that Esther was getting annoyed by his attitude as she grabbed a handful of dust in her had and instead of sprinkling it, she blew it in his face. Uncle Freddy growled and rubbed his eyes. Esther said her magic spell and I watched as Freddy's hat flew off and his claw glove disappeared off his right hand. Just then, his burnt skin began to melt away and his skin began to turn into human flesh. His head had brown hair growing out of it and as Freddy pulled his hands away from his eyes and lifted up his head, I gasped in shock. Freddy was a new man. He still had that anger in his face and that fiery rage in his eyes.
"You look handsome Freddy.", Esther giggled.
Uncle Freddy rolled his eyes and walked away as then, Uncle Pinhead went to take a turn. Then, after Pinhead, Jeepers Creepers went next, then Uncle Leatherface, and then my dad went. Uncle Michael didn't go since all he had to do was take his mask off. Uncle Michael had a handsome looking face; I just didn't see why he covered it up all the time. I got a good look at everyone and thought they all looked good, until I saw my dad. My dad was...different. His face was I guess what you called deformed. Everyone was talking among themselves, discussing on how good they looked and how well disguised they were.
I took this time to go walk over to my dad. "Dad?", I asked.
My dad quickly spun around so that his back was facing me. I cocked my eyebrow at this, and tried looking around him, but he moved so that I wouldn't see his face.
"Dad?", I asked again.
"Yes?", my dad answered.
"Why are you...hiding?"
"Huh?", my dad asked, after looking over his shoulder, but all I could see was the side of his head. I noticed that he had a few hairs coming out of his scalp; only a few and his head was shaped kind of funny.
"Dad, why won't you look at me?"
My dad grew silent and just then, Freddy came out with that sly smirk of his.
"Hm.", Freddy smirked. "What's the matter momma's boy? Afraid to show your daughter your ugliness? Believe me, I'd be afraid too."
Anger grew inside of me as Freddy burst out into that evil laughter of his. I rolled my eyes at his stupidity and walked out and touched my dad's arm. I felt his body trembling, and just as I went to ask my dad what was wrong, someone wrapped their arms around my waist and pulled me away. I looked up to see Uncle Michael.
"I think it's better you get out the way before you get hurt.", Uncle Michael spoke for the first time.
I gasped.
"I remember when Freddy said something similar to what he just said to Jason and Jason just snapped. He was on the rage of murdering your uncle.", Michael finished.
I nodded my head slowly and turned my head to see that Uncle Michael as right. My father did snap and before I knew it, my dad reached for his machete and threw it in Freddy's direction. Uncle Freddy ducked from it just in time and yelled out a stream of cuss words at my dad. My dad was still shaking and just then, the voice of an elderly woman boomed in the atmosphere. I froze and looked around for any sight of here. I didn't see her. I looked at everyone else to see if they heard or seen her, but all eyes were on my dad and everyone was telling him to calm down and forget about it. The voice of the older woman was heard above the others. I stopped and listened to he words and I realized that she was talking to my dad.
Jason, my very special, special boy. No matter what Krueger says, you are just as special and beautiful as I say you are. Don't pay any attention to what Krueger has to say honey. Remember, he will pay in the very end for all he has done and said to you; remember that Jason.
I gasped in shock at what i just heard and remembered to what my dad and I were talking about from earlier.
"Grandma?", I asked in a whisper.
Thankfully, nobody didn't hear me and before I knew it, I was now face to face with a pair of knees. I looked up and saw my dad with a concerned face. I got a good look at his face and saw how deformed it was. My dad didn't look all bad. He actually looked kind of...cute. Like the funny cute when you see a kid get excited over something; yeah, that cute.
"Are you ok dad?", I asked.
Without a word, my dad nodded and then leaned down and picked me up.
"Alright everyone, it's time to go." Pinhead said, leading the way into the woods.
My dad, with me in his one arm, leaned down and picked up my suitcase with the other and started to follow the others in the woods. I didn't know how we were all going to get to the train station, but I hope it wouldn't take long.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Unexpectedly, we arrived at the train station within half an hour. The train station wasn't that far away as I had thought. I looked up ahead to see that Glen was tired from all the walking that everyone did. I giggled at him at how he acted and just then, we were all entering the entrance of the train ticket booth.
"How many of us is there again.", Uncle Pinhead said, turning towards all of us. He counted. It wasn't really that hard to figure out. There was ten of us actually. There was me, Dad, Uncle Freddy, Uncle Pinhead, Jeepers Creepers, Uncle Michael, Aunt Esther, Uncle Chucky, Aunt Tiffany and Glen.
After Uncle Pinhead counted, he bought ten train tickets to New York. The man behind the counter looked at all of us with a weird, confused expression and then handed Uncle Pinhead the tickets in exchange for the money owed.
"Here everyone.", Uncle Pinhead said, handing each of us a ticket.
I looked at my ticket and then looked at my dad's to see if it as the same.
"Come on Ash, let's go find a seat.", dad said, following the others and boarding on the train.
Dad walked up the steps and followed Uncle Michael towards the back of the train where there was a couple of empty rooms. Uncle Michael stopped at the last one and slid open the doors. My dad followed Uncle Michael inside and Uncle Michael took a seat next to the window. My dad sat me down and lifted up my suitcase and sat it on the rack above us.
My dad took a seat across from Uncle Michael next to the window and I sat beside him. Just then, Uncle Leatherface came in and closed the slider doors. He took a seat beside Uncle Michael, across from me.
"How far away is New York?", I asked.
"Pretty far." Uncle Michael responded.
"How long will it take to get there?", I asked.
"Hours maybe; we just have to see Ash.", dad said with a sigh.
I sighed myself and slumped back in my seat. Just then, a knock came at the door and I looked up to see Uncle Pinhead through the window.
"We'll be leaving shortly and just to give you all a little reminder...try not to hurt or kill anyone. Chucky was already on the verge of killing a older man that was on his way to the bathroom.", Uncle Pinhead warned.
We all nodded in agreement and Uncle Pinhead left. I turned to my dad, who was looking out the window in boredom. I wondered if right now was the perfect time to ask him if that was his mother that was speaking to him back at the camp, but then I forgot that Uncle Michael and Leatherface were both in here and that would be a little awkward. Especially after they didn't seem to hear her speak. If they didn't hear her speak, then why did I hear her? Was she even real? Was she alive? Wait, she couldn't be. She had to be dead. Right? I mean if she was alive, she would of have been here with us, riding in a train all the way to New York.  I decided to ask my dad about that later on, in private. I let out a sigh and looked around the room.
I was bored. Nothing to do. The silence in the room was killing me and I wanted to get out and explore the train since this was my first time riding on one. I turned to look at my dad who was still looking out the window. He looked like he was deep in thought about something and I took this time to slide out of my seat and walk towards the slide doors.
"Where are you going Ashley?", I heard my dad ask.
I spun around, thinking about what to say. I know my dad wouldn't allow to explore the train by myself. I had to come up with an lie. I never lied before in my lie. I just hoped what I was about to say, worked.
"Um, I was going to go look for Aunt Esther. I had to ask her something really important that magic thing she was doing earlier.", I lied.
"What about the magic?", my dad asked.
I sighed. Darn it. "Um, how she did it and if she was a witch or something."
"Come back and sit down hun.", my dad said.
I groaned and looked back out the glass window of the doors. I looked back and forth between the two hallways and saw a glimpse of brown shaggy hair. Glen. I watched as he sat in his seat, looking bored. I turned back to my dad.
"I'll be back; Glen called me.", I lied again.
Before my dad said anything, I quickly slid open the doors and ran out. I walked quickly towards Glen and stood before him. I saw him sitting by himself as his mother and father were sitting a pair of seats ahead of him.
"What you doing here?", Glen asked, looking at me.
"I was bored.", I replied taking a seat beside him.
"Me too. This really stinks. I wish we weren't going to New York. I could be at home right now, watching Scooby Doo."
"I know how you feel.", I replied. "Hey, before my dad comes and get me, do you-"
"What do you mean before your dad comes and gets you?", Glen asked with a confused look.
"Well.", I started. How was I going to say this. "Well you see, I snuck out. Well, not really suck out, my dad saw me I mean, but..."
"Your dad didn't want you to leave, but you left anyway right?", Glen finished.
I nodded. He was smart for a doll.
"I get it.", he laughed.
"Well, I was wondering if you wanted to go and explore around the train. I never been on one of these before and I know for a fact my dad wouldn't like it if I went by myself, so I was wondering if you wanted to go with me?"
Glen looked ahead at the pair of seats in front of him where his parents were. I could hear Aunt Tiffany and Uncle Chucky both talking about something and they really seemed to be in the conversation. Glen nodded at me and I led the way. I didn't know how we were going to get past Uncle Chucky and Aunt Tiffany without being caught, but it was worth a try. I turned my head to the right so they wouldn't see my face. Then, Glen copied me and followed close behind me. Once we were a couple seats ahead from them, we both stopped and looked back to see if Uncle Chucky or Aunt Tiffany caught us. Surprisingly, they didn't. They were still into their conversation.
I smiled in victory and followed Glen as he led past a couple people that were reading magazines or newspapers. Now, we were in another hallway, that had the same rooms that I was in. I looked in the windows of the slide doors of each room and saw a bunch of older people with a few kids that were probably around my age, if not smaller than I was. Next, Glen and I both stopped at one slide door and looked in the window to see Jeepers Creepers sitting all by himself in the room.
"Hey, why is Uncle JC sitting all by himself?", Glen asked me.
I shrugged my shoulders. "Why don't we go in and give him so company. He'll probably like that."
Glen nodded and knocked on the door. Jeepers Creepers looked up and saw us. He waved us in. Glen slid open the door and we both walked in. I slid the doors closed behind me and took a seat across from the boys.
"Why are you in here all by yourself Uncle JC?", Glen asked.
Jeepers Creepers, who was transferred into a human, still hasn't spoken yet like the others have. Jeepers Creepers just shrug his shoulders and looked out the window. Jeepers Creepers was pale and had a bald head and bright green eyes that I never saw on a human before. He had pretty eyes and it was hard not to stare.
"Would you like some company with me and Ashley here?", Glen asked.
Jeepers Creepers turned from the window and looked at Glen and then at me. He smiled for the first time, a very soft, shy smile and nodded. Glen and I smiled at each other and we began to talk about New York; about what it would be like, and where we would live and what we would do and all that kind of stuff. Jeepers Creepers was quiet throughout the whole time Glen and I were talking, but he did listen and smile as we talked.
Just then, I let out a gasp as I felt the train jerk, causing me to fall out of my seat.
"Yay, the train is moving!", Glen cheered.
"Yippee.", I rolled my eyes, rubbing my head. Jeepers Creepers leaned down and picked me up and sat me on the seat between him and Glen. Just then, a knock came at the door and I looked up to see an older woman with gray curly hair peek in the window. Glen got up and slid open the doors.
"Hello sir, sorry for bothering you, but I was wondering if you and your children would like something from the trolley?", the older woman asked. I looked over at what she was talking about and saw a cart full of goods and sweets. I saw big swirly lollipops, laffy taffy, popcorn, caramel apples, bottled water, sodas, juice jugs and other food. I felt my mouth water, everything had looked really good.
"How much is the juice jugs and the candy?", Glen asked.
"It's free dear; everything is free.", the woman replied.
"Oh my goodness!", Glen nearly gasped. The look on Glen's face caused the woman to  giggle and just then, she reached into her cart and pulled out two lollipops, one pink and one blue, then a bag of popcorn and one bottled water and two juices.
"Here you go sweeties; you three enjoy and let me know if you need anything else." the woman smiled and walked away with her cart skidding behind her. I helped Glen carry the food back to the seat and sat the food beside Jeepers Creepers.
"Here Uncle JC", Glen smiled, handing a water and the Popcorn to him.
Jeepers Creepers took the water and popcorn and nodded with a smile. Glen handed me a juice along with a pink lollipop.
I thanked him and opened my juice first and took a swig. I smiled. "Mmmm. So good."
"I know right; what flavor is your sucker? Mine is blue raspberry.", Glen said.
I shrugged my shoulders and unwrapped my lollipop. I took a lick and thought for a moment while smacking my lips. "Strawberry.", I smiled.
"Cool."
Glen and I sat with Jeepers Creepers for a while and talked more about what our life would be like in New York. We even asked Jeepers Creepers if he was excited about moving to New York but he just shrugged his shoulders. Jeepers Creepers ate a little bit of his popcorn and drank his bottled water.
"You wanna go exploring now?", Glen asked all of a sudden.
I looked up at him and nodded. I put my lollipop in my mouth and slid down off the seat. I went to the slide doors and stopped as I felt a hand grab my shoulder. I spun around and saw Jeepers Creepers look at Glen and me with a questioning look.
"We were going to look for the others Uncle JC and see where they were sitting. It's ok, our parents know where we are, right Ash?", Glen said, looking and sneakily winking at me.
I nodded. "Yeah, we'll be alright."
Jeepers Creepers pointed two fingers at his eyes and then pointed the two fingers at Glen and I each. I know what the meant by that. I'll be keeping an eye on you, is what Jeepers Creepers was telling us. Glen and I both nodded our heads and gave Jeepers Creepers a hug and walked out. I licked my lollipop once again and stuck it in my mouth as I waited for Glen. He closed the doors and gave Jeepers Creepers one last wave.
"Well that was close. Are you ready?", Glen asked.
I nodded and followed Glen as he led the way down the hall. We looked into more windows and saw more people sitting in their rooms. No one we knew of course. Glen and I continued walking and was now out of the hallway and was surrounded by open seats with seated passengers in them. Some people looked at us with questioning looks, but I shrugged it off and followed Glen.
We then, walked down another hallway and came across another bunch of window, slide doors. Glen and I looked into all of them, and still saw a bunch of unknown people, until I saw Uncle Freddy, Aunt Esther and Uncle Pinhead. I smiled and knocked on the door.
All of them inside popped their heads up and looked over at Glen and me. Glen and I both waved and Aunt Esther came over and opened the doors.
"What are you two doing here all by yourselves?", Aunt Esther asked with worry.
Glen and I walked in, both sucking our lollipops and made ourselves at home on the seat across from Uncle Pinhead and Uncle Freddy.
"Ashley and I were bored so we went to come and find you guys.", Glen replied.
"All by yourselves?", Uncle Pinhead questioned.
Glen and I looked at each other and shook our heads. "No, Uncle JC knew we were and what we were doing.", Glen replied.
"Yeah, but what about ya'lls parents?", Uncle Freddy asked.
Glen and I looked at each and gulped. "Um....", we both said, but couldn't find the right words to explain.
Uncle Freddy smirked and asked, "So ya'll both ran off without telling your parents?"
"Hey we were bored Uncle Freds, give us a break already.", Glen groaned, sitting back in his seat. Aunt Esther came over and took a seat between Glen and I.
"Well I'm sure they won't mind you two being here with us anyway.", Aunt Esther said.
"True, but we don't want Jason, Chucky and Tiffany worrying either now would be? Or else all hell breaks loose and this train would be a blood bath.", Uncle Freddy said.
Aunt Esther nodded. "Your right. You two stay here and I'll tell both your parents that your here with us." Aunt Esther stood up and went to walk out of the room, until Glen stood up and ran towards the door to stop her.
"Actually Aunt Esther, Ashley just came to see where everyone was at, so that way if we ever get bored, we can come visit you guys am I right Ash?", Glen asked.
All eyes were on me now and I felt really uncomfortable at the moment. I quickly nodded and slid off the seat quickly.
"Well, talk to guys later.", Glen said and just as our two Uncles and one aunt went to say something, Glen grabbed my wrist and pulled me along as we both ran down the hallway and past the seated passengers. We ran as fast as we could. Before I knew it, we were back from where we started. Uncle Chucky and Aunt Tiffany were still sitting from when we last left them and they were both still carrying on their conversation.
"I wonder if they even noticed that you left?", I asked Glen.
Glen shrugged and walked over to his parents.
"Hey mom, hey dad."
Uncle Chucky and Aunt Tiffany both stopped talking and looked down at Glen.
"Something wrong sweetie?", Aunt Tiffany asked.
Glen shook his head and turned to me. "Were ok, just tired."
I nodded with a smile.
"You two act like your both up to no good.", Uncle Chucky questioned.
Glen and I exchanged glances and both burst out into laughter. Aunt Tiffany and Uncle Chucky gave Glen and I both confused faces as Glen and me went back to our original seats and sat down.
"Hey, I'm almost down with my sucker are you?", Glen asked.
I took my lollipop out of my mouth and looked down at it to see it got a little smaller, but hasn't really changed that much. "Not really."
Glen and I sat in silence for a moment and then I slid off my seat and walked out. "I'mma go see my dad for a while. I'm sure he's probably wondering where I am."
"Your coming back right?", Glen asked.
I nodded. "Yeah."
I walked off don the hallway, sucking my lollipop and came to a stop at my room. I slid open the doors and saw Uncle Leatherface, Uncle Michael and my dad talking among themselves. They stopped and looked over at me.
"Hey Uncle Leatherface, hey Uncle Michael. Hey dad.", I smiled at all of them. I walked over towards my dad and sat down beside him.
"Hey sweetie.", my dad smiled down at me.
"Where have you been?", I heard Uncle Leatherface ask.
"And where did you get candy?", Uncle Michael ask.
"I was with Glen and some lady that I guess works here had gave me and Glen each a lollipop with  juice."
"Sounds like ya'll had fun. Where did you two go?", dad asked.
"Me and Glen went to go see Jeepers Creepers and Uncle Pinhead, Uncle Freddy and Aunt Esther.", I replied.
"I see." dad replied.
"Where were they all sitting?", Uncle Leatherface asked.
"Uncle Freddy, Uncle Pinhead and Aunt Esther were all sitting together towards the front of the train in a room like were in right now and Jeepers Creepers was sitting alone in another."
"Sitting alone?", Uncle Michael asked.
I nodded. "Yeah, but me and Glen gave him some company for a while."
"Well, that was really nice of you to do Ash.", dad smiled down at me.
I nodded and continued to eat my lollipop. I spent a few minutes with my dad and two uncles until I forgot about Glen. I told dad that I as going to go see Glen. I left the room and walked off. As I reached the passenger seats, I saw Glen slouching in his chair looking out the window.
"Sorry I'm late.", I said smiling. I took a seat beside him. He turned to me and saw that I still had my lollipop.
"No offense, but your a slow eater.", Glen chuckled.
"No offense, but your a fast eater.", I smirked.
"Hey!", Glen laughed.
I giggled and sat back in seat and started talking to Glen about New York. We both couldn't stop talking about New York. We were both excited, but yet very nervous because there was no telling what lied ahead of us. I just hoped New York was going to be a nice, beautiful and peaceful place for all of my family members and me that we could all call home.
