A New Killer Is Born

Chapter 8: Home Sweet Home

We were on the train for a two days. We made some stops here and then to get off and stretch our legs, then, back on the train it was. Once me and my family were off the train, it was now time to figure out what we had to do next.
"Man my legs are killing me.", Glen said, rubbing his thighs.
I nodded. "Mine too."
I picked up my suitcase and followed Glen as the others started walking off away from the public. We all followed Uncle Pinhead as he led us down an dark alley way from the train station and over towards the woods.
"Well, what now Pinhead?", I heard Uncle Freddy ask.
"We're home.", I heard Uncle Pinhead say.
I cocked my eyebrow, looking around and seeing nothing, but trees.
"This way everyone.", Uncle Pinhead called over his shoulder.
Everyone started following close behind and I grabbed my suitcase and walked beside Glen. My dad was in front of me along with Uncle Leatherface and Jeepers Creepers. Just then, I came to a stop as I heard an howl. It sounded like a wolf was nearby and I started to get scared.
"Come sweeties.", Aunt Tiffany called to Glen and me.
"Come on.", Glen said to me as he ran up to his parents. Instead, I ran up to my dad and my two Uncles.
My dad picked me up in one hand and my suitcase in the other.
"Dad?", I asked.
"Yes?"
"Is there wolves in New York?", I asked.
My dad nodded. "Yup; wolves, bears, you name it. New York is a natural state is your out in the country."
I wrapped my arms around my dad's neck and rested my head on his shoulder. I was really exhausted after the long train ride. I haven't slept in two days on that train all thanks to Glen. Glen kept me up the whole ride, talking, eating and telling me jokes of all sorts and telling me stories about his parents and the huge fight that broke out between my dad and Uncle Freddy long ago before I was born. Glen even told me all the stories of all the family members; how they all died and how they all became to be killers and such and why they all killed.
I felt really bad when Glen told me the story about my dad and how he died. My dad was drowned when he as nine years old. A group of kids that were picking on him, had pushed him in the lake and made him drown. I swear, that made me want to cry, but at the same time, kill all those people that did that to my dad. I can see why my dad had killed teenagers throughout the years I've been with him. I now finally understood why he does it.
As, we were walking, I heard my dad whisper in my ear, "Ash, look up ahead."
I lifted my head up and spun my head around to see what he was talking about. I saw something big and white lurking on top of the hill in the far distance. I smiled. Was it our house? If so, it was a pretty big house than compared to the cabin my dad and I lived in. As we kept walking, the house seemed to get bigger and bigger by the minute. We all came to a stop as Pinhead began to climb up a heap of rocks.
"You can let me down dad.", I said.
My dad put me down and grabbed my hand.
"Be careful when your climbing those rocks Ashley.", my dad told me.
I nodded and watched as it was Glen's turn to climb. He looked like he was scared and then he backed out. I saw Uncle Chucky rolling his eyes at him as he started to climb up. I felt bad for Glen for the way his dad treated him. I let go of my dad's hand and walked over to Glen.
"You alright?", I asked.
Glen nodded. "Yeah, just a little nervous."
"Of climbing?"
Glen shook his head. "I have a fear of heights."
I looked from Glen and then up at the top of the rocks where Uncle Pinhead, Uncle Freddy, and Aunt Esther were. Uncle Chucky climbed to the top safe and sound and now Tiffany was going to take a shot at it. It was pretty high I had to admit, but it wasn't going to stop me from reaching my new home.
"Wanna climb together? You go first and I'll be right behind you if you fall.", I smiled.
Glen's face lightened a little as he looked up at the rocks. He turned back to me and gave me a slight nod. "I guess that would be ok."
I nodded and walked over to the rocks as it was now time for Glen and I to go. Uncle Michael had lifted Glen and I up on the first rock to give us a head start.
"Be careful Ashley; you both take your time. Don't rush!", I heard my dad call.
"We will dad." I sighed in annoyance. I let Glen climb the first rock as I told him he would. Once he did that, I went straight behind and we went on like this until we reached the top. Once we reached the top, there was only one rock left to climb and we both would be safe on ground. Glen reached up and tried to grab sharp edge of the rock, but missed. This caused Glen to look down and when he did, he gasped.
"Oh my goodness! Ashley!", Glen yelled.
Glen was starting to freak out and I didn't know what to do.
"Glen calm down; I'm right here behind you. If you slip and fall, I will catch you, I promise. Just try not to look down and keep going. We're almost there.", I said in a calm voice.
Glen looked at me and then looked back up at the rock. He leaned and reached up again and tried to grip it. He failed.
Glen turned back to me and said, "I can't reach it!"
I sighed and looked around me, trying to figure out a way to get up there. I heard my dad calling out my name, but I ignored it as I tried solving out another way.
"Glen! What's going on? Are you ok?", I heard Aunt Tiffany ask.
Glen went to respond to his mother, but I cut him off quickly.
"Glen! Let me get in front of you. I have an idea.", I said quickly.
Glen looked at me and gulped. He slowly slid and pressed his back against the stoned wall. I slowly crawled my way towards the edge of the rock I was on and climbed up. Once my body was on the rock, I crawled over towards Glen.
"Wait here, until I get up there ok? And I will try and lend you up there myself ok?", I asked.
Glen nodded with a gulp and I sighed.
"Ashley!", I heard my dad yell. I ignored him as then, the others started calling me and Glen. I heard Uncle Freddy and Uncle Pinhead calling out mine and Glen's names as they both reached there hands down. Too bad, there arms weren't long enough to reach Glen and me. I went to the edge of the rock where everyone saw me.
"Ashley!", my dad yelled at me again.
I ignored my father and reached out to the touch the rock. My fingertips reached the cold stone and I let out a sigh. I didn't know how I was going to do this. I thought about jumping off the rock and trying to catch it, but I knew that would cause everyone to have an heart attack. I leaned forward someone until my entire hand covered the outer edge of the rock. I then removed my hand and stood up.
"We're gonna have to jump.", I told Glen. "It's not that far. It's arm lengthwise.", I reassured him.
Glen nodded and stood up along with me. "Who's going first?"
"I can if you want.", I said.
Glen nodded and back up to give me room.
"Ashley! I know you can hear me!", my father yelled again.
I ran off full speed and jumped up and grabbed the edge of the rock with my hands. I heard a few screams and gasps. I swung my body from side to side so I could lift my leg up on the cliff. When I did I pulled my whole body up and pulled myself over the rock. I rolled over and landed on my chest.
"Ashley! Are you ok?", I heard Aunt Esther yell down at me. I looked up and smiled.
"Never been better.", I replied. I stood up on my feet and turned to Glen.
"Alright Glen.", I smiled. "It's your turn and I promise it's not as scary as you think."
Glen nodded and before I knew it, he charged at me. He jumped up towards me and gripped the edge of the rock with his hand. I quickly rushed over and helped him up. I dragged Glen away from the edge and smiled.
"You did it!"
Glen blushed and smiled. "Yeah, yeah I did didn't I?"
I smiled and bent down to hug him. Glen and I finished the last climb and made it to the top safely.
"Oh my god you guys are alright oh my god!", Aunt Esther exclaimed as she rushed over and pulled Glen and I in for a hug.
"I have to admit, that was a brave thing you did Ashley.", Uncle Chucky came over and said to me.
"Very brave indeed.", Uncle Pinhead said.
I smiled at the compliments and turned to Glen who was getting hugs and kisses from his mom. I giggled and turned towards the rocks and looked down to see the others coming up. After a few moments later, everyone was all together. I ran over to my dad and hugged his knees. Before I could react, my dad picked me up and squeezed me in his bear hugs.
"Ashley....don't you ever scare me like that again!", my dad said into my ear. I nodded my head on his shoulder as he pulled himself away from me.
"She did a very brave thing; a very smart, brave thing Jason.", Aunt Esther smiled at me.
"Yeah, I saw that.", my dad said looking at me.
I rolled my eyes and asked, "Can we go home now?"
They all exchanged glances and nodded. Pinhead led the way again and my dad sat me down on my feet. I walked over to Glen who smiled at me.
"Hey, I wanted to say thanks about what you did back there.", Glen smiled.
I shrugged. "I don't know what your thanking me for. All I did was try to get you up that rock. That was all."
"Yeah, but you helped me overcome my fear. If it wasn't for you in the first, I would of never climbed up those rocks if it weren't for you."
Glen nudge me in my side and smiled. I smiled back and walked beside him as we walked out of the woods and onto grass. I looked up to see the house and gasped in shock at how huge it was.
"Wow.", I heard Glen breathed.
I smiled in amazement. The house was huge. It was like a mansion. Maybe it was a mansion, I wasn't sure. We had a huge yard to play in, a pond in the back next to the other side of the woods and a big porch that wrapped around the entire house. The house was perfect and everyone else thought so too as everyone scattered in different directions as they looked around.
"Welcome home everyone!", I heard Pinhead yell as he started making his way towards the porch.
"Ash, come on!", Glen laughed, running towards the front yard. I ran after him and looked at the front porch. The front porch was decorated with porch chairs, two bench swings that hung from each corner of the house and there was a small table on the right side that would be perfect to play cards or eat brunch on.
"This place is an amazing. I wonder how Uncle Pinhead could afford this?", Glen asked.
I shrugged my shoulders and walked up the porch. "Lets go inside."
Glen nodded and followed me. Luckily, the door was unlocked and Glen and I walked in. The smell of flowers filled my nose and I smiled. In front of me, stood a stair way that led up to the second floor where I assume the rooms and bathrooms would be. On my right was a living room, with one green wrapped around couch and a huge plasma TV hooked up into the wall. There was also a DVD/VCR player hooked up to it along with an XBOX and Wii Game station.
"Alright!", Glen exclaimed happily as he rushed over and checked out the XBOX games in the box that hid in the corner. I walked past Glen and walked into another room which was the dining room. A long table stretched out in the room with twelve chairs surrounding it. A diamond crystal chandelier hung above in the middle of the table making it look fancy. I smiled. I walked out of the room and walked into the kitchen where Uncle Freddy and Aunt Esther was. Uncle Freddy was in the refrigerator while Aunt Esther was looking in the cupboards.
"Everything seems to be in place.", Aunt Esther smiled.
"Yup, food seems to still be good yet.", Uncle Freddy said, pulling out a carton of milk He checked the date and smiled. "Yup, good."
I walked out of the kitchen and walked in a short hallway that led either two way; one was a room, where the laundry machines were kept and the other way was down another hallway. I walked down the hallway and came back in the second part of the living room. I looked across and saw Glen still eyeing the games. I rolled my eyes playfully and looked at the staircase. I guess I was going to be the first to pick my room. I walked up the steps and stopped. I noticed as the top floor balcony wrapped around in a circle. There was a bunch of rooms circled around me and I wondered which one could be mine. All the doors were open also, which would be easy to peek in quick. I came across one room and noticed a slip of paper on the door. I read the paper which had Uncle Freddy's name written on it. This must be his room then.
If all of these doors had people's name on it, where was mine? I quickly scanned the doors and came across the last one on the left. I smiled and pushed open my door and gasped in shock. My room was already decorated for me. The room was painted in a sky blue color with pink, purple yellow and lime green flowers running across it. My queen size bed stood in the corner of my room against the wall and I smiled as it was also decorated in the same flowers on the wall. I had a TV hooked up to my wall, along with a dvd player, I had my closet, already full of clothes, shoes and whatnot. I also had my very own bathroom with things already in it such as lotion, shampoo, conditioning, shaving cream, razors, perfume, a hair straightener and a brand new brush and comb. I walked out of the bathroom and back into my room. I had a dresser with a oval shaped mirror with things put on it, I had dolls placed neatly on a bookshelf in the far corner. This was just perfect. I think I was going to like living in New York.
