A dark, cluttered expanse sat brooding before her. Doc and Tracy followed her down. \u201cHe\u2019s probably not even here,\u201d Doc said. \u201cI\u2019ll feel better after we check it out,\u201d Maggie said. She unlocked the gate and entered the room. It was lined with shelves filled with weapons confiscated from the shelter teens. \u201cI can\u2019t believe what we take off these kids,\u201d Doc said. \u201cThe cops were supposed to pick all this up.\u201d \u201cBe glad they didn\u2019t,\u201d Maggie said. \u201cWe\u2019re going to need to hit him with something.\u201d \u201cYou really think he\u2019s in here?\u201d Tracy said. \u201cHe\u2019s here,\u201d Maggie said. \u201cI can feel it.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Maggie grabbed a bat and moved through the basement. She could hear breathing, and followed the sound around some crates. Fred was there, slumped against some boxes. \u201cYou\u2019re really here,\u201d Maggie said, hiding the bat behind her. \u201cAnd you\u2019re just a man.\u201d \u201cBut it\u2019s not my fault,\u201d Fred said feebly. \u201cYou saw what they did to me\u2026when I was a kid. I loved you\u2026and your mother. I tried to be good.\u201d \u201cI know, daddy.\u201d Fred smiled as he slowly rose. \u201cI knew you\u2019ld believe me. Come to daddy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Just then, Fred raised his deadly glove and prepared to strike. But Maggie was ready. She gripped the bat tight and swung it at his hand, knocking the glove into the air. Maggie rushed to scoop up the glove. She whirled around, but Fred was gone. \u201cMaggie!\u201d Doc called out. \u201cOver here!\u201d Maggie shouted. \u201cI\u2019m okay!\u201d Maggie met Tracy and Doc at the gate. They looked concerned. \u201cHe\u2019s in there,\u201d Maggie said. \u201cHe\u2019s hurt, but dangerous.\u201d Maggie stepped through the gate. But before Tracy and Doc could follow, hideous Freddy rushed past Maggie and slammed the gate shut. Instantly, Tracy tried to open the lock. \u201cWhere are the keys?\u201d Doc shouted. \u201cI don\u2019t know!\u201d Tracy cried. \u201cThe lock\u2019s rusted!\u201d Outside the room, Freddy backed away from Freddy. \u201cGive daddy back his glove, princess,\u201d Freddy said. Maggie remained silent, continuing her slow retreat. Suddenly, Tracy\u2019s eyes brightened and she ran off. \u201cWhere are you going?\u201d Doc called out. Tracy frantically searched the stack of shelves. Finding what she was looking for, Tracy rushed back to the gate. \u201cThey took you away from me,\u201d Freddy said to Maggie, \u201cbut we can be together. I can fix it so you can live forever.\u201d \u201cLike you?\u201d Maggie said with hate. \u201cBetter than me. I\u2019ll show you how.\u201d Freddy lunged for the glove. Maggie hit him hard with it, stunning him. \u201cLike you showed my mother?\u201d She hit him again. \u201cAnd Carlos?\u201d She hit him again. \u201cAnd Spencer?\u201d Freddy blocked her last punch and shoved her toward the rear of the basement. Then he approached her. \u201cYou need a good spanking.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>\u201cMaggie!\u201d Tracy suddenly cried. <\/p>\n<p>Maggie turned to Tracy and saw her lighting a pipe bomb\u2014the bomb that Kelly had confiscated from Spencer. Tracy tossed the bomb to her. Maggie stuck the bomb in the glove and turned around just in time to see Freddy coming in for the kill. Maggie reached out and plunged the glove with the bomb deep into Freddy\u2019s chest. He screamed in agony, then fell to the floor. \u201cHappy Father\u2019s Day,\u201d Maggie said. She dug into her pockets and found the keys to the gate. She let Tracy and Doc out and they charged up the stairs. Lying on the floor, Freddy tried to pull the glove out. But he knew it was too late. \u201cKids,\u201d he grumbled, slowly shaking his head. Freddy blew up into hundreds of charred pieces. Three small demons appeared from the blast and swirled around before disappearing. Up in the shelter hallway, Kelly and the teens emerged and looked around in confusion. \u201cWhat\u2019s going on?\u201d Kelly said. Tracy shrugged innocently. \u201cSounds like a boiler blew in the basement,\u201d Doc said. Kelly raced for the steps. The teens followed. Then Doc looked at Maggie. \u201cFreddy\u2019s dead,\u201d Maggie said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"clear:left;\">\n<p style=\"clear:left;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/nightmareonelmstreetfilms.com\/site\/freddys-dead-the-final-nightmare-adaptation-excerpts-7\/\">Chapter 7<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"clear:left;\">\n<p style=\"clear:left;\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Adapted by Bob Italia Transcribed by Rob Nimmo Order EIGHT<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[339,121],"class_list":["post-6295","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-merchandise","tag-bob-italia","tag-freddys-dead-the-final-nightmare"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nightmareonelmstreetfilms.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6295","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nightmareonelmstreetfilms.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/nightmareonelmstreetfilms.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nightmareonelmstreetfilms.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nightmareonelmstreetfilms.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6295"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/nightmareonelmstreetfilms.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6295\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6299,"href":"https:\/\/nightmareonelmstreetfilms.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6295\/revisions\/6299"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nightmareonelmstreetfilms.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6295"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nightmareonelmstreetfilms.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6295"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nightmareonelmstreetfilms.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6295"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
