CHARACTER INFO.
↪ basic.
character name: Nancy Holbrook
character age: 18
aging up?: no
canon: A Nightmare on Elm Street.
canon point: At the end of the film when her mother is killed and pulled through the mirror.
↪ depth.
history: Nancy's Basic Information.
Nancy was raised in Springwood, Ohio. Her mother, Gwen, basically brought her up as a single parent. Her father has pretty much been absent her whole life. Though they've had their struggles they've made a pretty good life living in 1428 Elm Street, in the middle of a peaceful suburb.
When she was around five years old Nancy attended a preschool called Badham. This is where events occur that would change her life forever.
There was a man who lived in the basement of the school. His name was Fred Kruger. He posed as a friendly, good spirited man who loved children. The truth couldn't be further. Fred would gain the children's trust and bring them to his "magic cave" where he would touch them and cut them with his home made bladed glove. He took a liking to Nancy. Calling her his little Nancy and most people recognized her as his favorite.
The parents of the children who attend the school, including Gwen, started to notice a change in their kids behavior. When asked if anything was happening at the school, the five year old Nancy told her mother everything.
Soon after hearing what all their kids had to say the parents decided to take justice into their own hands. They didn't want their children to have to go through with telling an entire court room what Fred Kruger did to them. They hunted him and cornered him in an abandon boiler-room. In a last minute decision some of the parents grabbed a gasoline canister and placed a lit rag in it. They tossed through a window and the whole place went up in flames. Killing Freddy and ending their kids' nightmare.
Often with victims of molestation the memory of it happening simply is forgotten. Especially when the victim is very young. The mind can't handle it so it hides the memory, covering it, behind a brick wall. Which is what the parent's of Elm Street wanted to happen. They separated their kids and eventually all the children of Badham preschool forgot.
Fast-forward thirteen years and we find Nancy working as a waitress in the Springwood Dinner on the weekends. She pours Dean, a guy she knows from school, a cup of coffee and warns him "If you keep falling asleep, they're going to kick you out" before continuing with her job. A few minutes later Kris walks in from the rain and Nancy greets her and points her in Dean's direction.
She goes to collect the check from another table of classmates as they toss a few dollars that don't cover the whole amount and leave. All except one gets up from the table. Quentin. He covers the rest of the bill and strikes up some small talk. Asking her if she gets tired of working there every weekend to which she responds "Don't you get tired of coming here every weekend?" The way they speak to each other has a slight hint of awkward flirting that just keeps getting more awkward. Once he leaves she returns to collecting the dirty dishes from the table.
It's then that she hears Kris's panicked voice. She turns just as Dean seemingly forces a knife into his neck and carves it wide open.
At his funeral Nancy approaches Kris and Jesse and overhears them talking about what Dean said about having nightmares. She begins to tell them that she's seen.. but is interrupted by Jesse who tell her she's seen nothing, that she wasn't right there and Kris was. As they walk away Nancy mutters "You have no idea what I've seen." Her mother seconds later walks over to embrace her daughter as she can tell that something about the recent encounter was troubling her.
Later that night she finds herself lost in thought again. Her earbuds snug in her ears, her ipod on some alternative song and a glass of water on her nightstand. Nancy nozzles into her pillows and tries to get more comfortable. Her eyes start to grow heavy and soon she finds herself asleep. Once she's calmly resting the wall behind her starts to ripple and a face and hands begin to stretch out from it. As soon as the face opens it's mouth and claws rip from through the wall Nancy wakes up as if she were suddenly startled.
A few days after Nancy is back in school putting things away in her locker when Quentin walks up and asks about a drawing that she has in her hands. Which she says is a sketch. The sketch itself hauntingly resembles something that looks like a face with clawed fingers held out in front of it. Once she places everything in her locker Quentin tells her if she needs to she could talk to him. To which a small smile forms on her face before he's rushed off by his dad.
Again Nancy is lost in thought. Her ipod on blast and a piece of an art pencil in her hand. It's late and her mom's trying to get her attention to tell her to go to sleep. Nancy says she will and continues to draw when her mom closes the door and walks away someone comes up behind her. It's Jesse and he's covered in blood which he tells her it's Kris's. She starts to back away thinking that he's done something to her. That's when he tells her someone killed Kris in her sleep.
Jesse tells her that something is going on and that she knows what he's talking about. He says that someone is after them in their dreams and that she knows it because of what she said at Dean's funeral. "All I hear is this song.. 1,2 freddy's coming for you." she tells him and he says that they need to do something to stop this Freddy. When she asks how all he has to say is I don't know.
Jesse leaves her with the words "Don't fall asleep, if you die in your dreams.. you die for real." and starts to run when he hears the police sirens. He's caught in front of Nancy's house and she and her mom watch as he is driven away.
Clearly bothered by the news of Kris's death and Jesse being taken away by the police, Nancy calls Quentin to tell him everything she knows. They make plans to meet each other the next day at a local bookstore/internet cafe.
When Nancy finds Quentin he's a sleep and as she goes to reach for him he jumps awake to which she ask if he was having a nightmare. And when he doesn't answer she says the name "Freddy?" to which he just stares at her. They begin to work on finding out about dreams and how they work. Books pile on their table as Nancy continues to exhaust herself. Quentin offers her a pill which he claims is basically speed for kids with A.D.D. She turns him down and sees a religious necklace hanging from his neck when asked about it he replies "You've got to believe in something, right?"
As they go through with their research they discuss the Piped Piper of Hamlin, who took his revenge on a town by taking their children. When Nancy says she's also seen children in her dreams, Quentin reads to her what he's found saying that after about seventy hours of being awake that the brain will shut down on it's own to try to recharge. Most times when this happens the person will dream when they're awake, these are called micronaps, and if the person stays awake longer they would fall into a coma. Permanent Sleep.
Later on Nancy questions her mom about her relationships with Dean, Kris, Jesse and Quentin. She ask if they've ever gone to school together before the sixth grade or if they've ever known a man named Freddy, to which he mom says no. But Nancy can tell her mom isn't telling the whole truth.
While taking a bath that night Nancy sets her alarm and starts to fall asleep. As she relaxes into the tub a gloved hand equipped with razor blades rises from the bath water but a knock on the restroom door wakes Nancy up and the hand disappears. It was just her mom asking if she was okay and that she is going to sleep. Shortly after she gets out and dries herself off. After hanging up her towel she opens the door to her room to be greeted by snow falling to her feet. She walks out into the winter wonderland.
When she looks around she is no longer in her room but outside an old preschool. Slowly she makes her way toward the front door when she hears someone behind her. Nancy turns to a man with a burned face, wearing a red and green sweater and on his right hand a glove with razors. He asks if she remembers him to which she tells him he's only a dream. Freddy laughs at this and calls her his little Nancy, His number one, and licks the side of her face.
The sound of her phone ringing awakes her from her dream. It's Quentin calling to tell her that Jesse is dead. She quickly tells him about her dream and he says he's on his way.
Once there they begin to look up the preschool from Nancy's dreams. Badham. They find out very little about and know that it's now closed down but no pictures or anything to trigger a memory. Nancy shows Quentin a picture she drew when she woke up of the school but still he can't place it. She tells him about her mom and how she thinks she's hiding something from her.
They start to dig through her mother's desk, searching for anything that might tell them what her mom won't. Nancy opens a drawer and looks through it but when she doesn't find anything she tries to close it. It doesn't shut. She pulls the drawer out and behind it is a folder and inside that folder is a picture of a class of preschoolers. Quentin takes the picture and turns it around to see the names on the back and sure enough they are all there. Dean, Kris, Jesse, Quentin and Nancy.
Her mom comes in asking what they are doing and that's when Nancy confronts her. Asking why she was lying to her to which Gwen responded that she didn't want Nancy to live with those memories, that she was trying to protect her and make her forget. That's when she explains to Nancy about Freddy but changes the end to him skipping town before they (The parents) could confront him. Gwen says that these nightmares are just repressed memories and nothing more.
Still Nancy thinks there's more to the story and her and Quentin set out to find more information. Or at least that's what Nancy wants to do. As they pull out Quentin's dad stops them and Quentin leaves Nancy alone in the car. Convinced that the nightmares are just that, nightmares. But Nancy knows that memories don't kill you and that there is way more then what their parents are telling them.
Alone she goes to the school computer lab to look up all the kids in the class picture. To which she finds out that most of them are dead. Nancy stumbles across a website of Marcus Yeon, one of the kids from her preschool, where he posted videos and talked about his nightmares. The video diaries end with him falling asleep in front of his webcam and his head flying face first into the lens and then blank.
Quentin then walks in and explains to Nancy that he had a dream about what really happened to Kruger. They both go to confront his dad who admits that they didn't really know if Freddy was guilty. That the parents were just acting on what the kids told them. This leads Nancy and Quentin to believe that their parents killed an innocent man. They start to think that they got him killed with their lies and that's why he's after them now.
As they storm out they go over what they could do to make him stop. Nancy sees the lights start to flicker down the hall and stops in her tracks. She hears Kris call out her name and slowly turns to see her friend in a body bag being pulled away. Then in a blink of an eye Kris is standing again and asks Nancy if she wants to hang. She starts to laugh but it's Freddy's dark chuckle instead Kris's voice. Quentin pulls her out of it when he walks back to her and asks what she's doing. Nancy tells him that she saw Kris in a body bag and he exclaims that she's been awake too long and that they should find out where this preschool is.
On their way to look for the closed down preschool, Quentin stops at a pharmacy to get more of his pills. While he's inside Nancy waits in the car trying to keep herself awake. She starts to go through her phone when there's a knock at her window when she turns Freddy opens the door and pulls her from the car. Nancy jumps in her seat to find that she was micronapping again.
To stay focused she slaps herself and then sees the car lighter and pushes it in. When its ready she pulls it out and sets it on her arm, burning herself in an attempt to stay awake.
Not being able to wait any longer Nancy gets out of the car and into the store where she starts to look for Quentin. But once again she finds herself in the middle of the awaken world and the dream world. Freddy approaches her, running his claws along the pipes of his boiler room. Nancy falls as he reaches out for her and she grabs on to his sweater which tears as she reaches the floor. Trying to get as far away from him as possible she starts to crawl backwards. He slashes at her cutting her right shoulder with four razor slits.
She's screaming on the floor when Quentin finds her and pulls her up. The injuries on her arm need medical attention and he tells her that they need to get to the hospital. Nancy stares at a piece of torn sweater in hands and Quentin ask what it is. "I pulled it out of my dream" she says and he lifts her up from the floor and head to the hospital.
There she's placed in a bed and her mom is called. When her mom gets there she asks Nancy who did that to her. Nancy tells her that Freddy did and while they are talking the doctor is preparing a sedative that will put her right to sleep. When Nancy looks over the doctor is wearing Kruger's glove and she starts to scream that she doesn't want it.
The doctor ask for Gwen to speak with her out in the hall and that’s when Nancy sneaks away to search for Quentin. When she finds him they start to head for the preschool again stopping only so Quentin could take an adrenaline shot. He offers one to Nancy but she doesn’t know what the side effects are and turns it down.
They hit the road again with the radio on blast. “What should we talk about?” he says.
“Anything.. what’s your favorite color?” Nancy ask trying to strike up some sort of conversation.
Quentin laughs a little “Blue. If you really want to talk about something, why is that you never show up when I’ve invited you out?” He turns to her. It’s a serious question.
“I don’t think you’ve noticed but I don’t exactly fit in.” she says and there is a second of silence. Quentin turns to her with a sympathetic look. “Look if we survive the next twenty-four hours, I’m gonna ask you on a real date.” This make Nancy blush as she turns away and then back to him.
“And what if I say no?” she’s clearly flirting.
“I’ll let you sleep on it.” He says which gets them both to laugh. In the middle of their connecting a shadowy figure is in the middle of the road. Quentin swerves to not hit it and send his car into a marsh. They get out and Quentin says it was Freddy out on the road. She tells him they must be getting close.
As they walk along the empty road they hear a haunting laugh and turn back to see nothing.
It doesn’t take them long to find the prechool which they quickly break into. They search the classrooms which are dark and full of graffiti. Quentin screams and startles Nancy. "Are you alright?" She ask.
"I can't tell what's real anymore" he says and it's clear he's starting to micronap. She tells him to follow her and they find themselves in the basement, Freddy’s old room, which is littered with razors.
Nancy lights up a lantern and looks around. In a small corner is a bulletin board with drawings that eerily resemble her own. She calls Quentin over who pulls the bulletin board away to reveal a sliding medal door that he pulls open. He pulls at the webs and climbs in, Nancy follows with the lantern as their only source of light.
Once inside Nancy slowly begins to remember the hole in the wall. Freddy had brought her there to paint on his wall. As she continues to look around Quentin finds a small box and opens it. She turns to see what he has and ask about the Polaroids in his hands. He says he can’t show them to her. Not putting up with that answer Nancy rips the pictures from his hands. He explains that they are pictures of her, all of her.
She begins to cry as Quentin puts everything together. “He’s not after us because we lied. He’s after us because we told the truth.” Nancy slides down the wall in the corner of the room. Her memories all flooding back to her now. All the things Freddy did to her all painfully vivid in her mind. “He wanted us to remember” is all she can say. They stay in silence because neither of them know what to say.
“What does he want from us? He’s never gonna stop.” Quentin shouts as he paces the room. Nancy’s trying to think as she pulls something from her pocket. It’s the piece of Freddy’s sweater that she ripped from him back at the pharmacy. “I know what to do.” she says as she climbs out of the small room.
She sits on what used to be Freddy’s bed with Quentin, they’re both quiet for a moment before he speaks up. “There has to be another way.” Nancy just stares at the piece of sweater in her hands. “If we just sit here and do nothing we’re gonna die.” she replies trying to build herself up for what she’s about to do.
“I should do this” Quentin insist, not wanting Nancy to into the dreamworld in fear that she’ll die next.
“I’m the one who pulled out the sweater...“ She looks to him with stern eyes. “What if I’m the only one who could bring him out.” It’s clear that she doesn’t want to do this either. But she has to.
“Nancy, I can’t let you go to sleep. You’re not gonna wake up.” Quentin is scared, they’re both scared.
“I know that you won’t let that happen.” she reassures him, showing him that she trust him to wake her up if anything happens.
“Wake me up if you see me struggle.” She knows he will but they’re comforting words to help ease what she’s about to do. To which he gives her his necklace and smiles softly “You’ve got to believe in something, right?” he says as she pulls him in for a kiss. When they separate she lays down on the bed and listens as Quentin goes in search of a weapon. She turns to see that he’s broken apart an old paper cutter and again he smiles at her.
Turning away Nancy tries to get comfortable, closes her eyes and tries to shut out all noise so she could go to sleep. Before she knows it she finds herself in the boiler room. There’s fire flicking around ever other corner. “Kruger!” she yells, calling him to her to make this easier. As Nancy walks around the extremely hot boiler room she hears a faint singing. “1, 2. Guess who’s coming for you.” She turns to see if he’s close by.
“Hey, Little Nancy.” Again she spins around to see Freddy standing right behind with a slight sadistic grin on his charred lips. “Now that you’ve caught me, what game do wanna play?” he asks as Nancy stares at him with disgust.
“Fuck you!” she says.
“Oooh sounds like fun. That’s a little fast for me” He replies “How about we hang first?” Freddy grabs Nancy by the neck and whips her around to see the hanging bodies of her dead friends. Jesse, Kris, and Dean. All of them bloody and tied up to pipes. “This isn’t real” she says trying to look away. He whips her in front of him by her neck “It’s real. I’m real.” Kruger breaths as he leans in closer.
Nancy shoves him with a grunt and runs. Trying to get away. She finds herself in her house. The boiler room is gone and replaced with the cool and calm of a sleepy suburban home. With sharp turns Nancy looks around the room. The sound of heavy footsteps echo in the dark silence.
With the sight of his shadow Nancy runs to the front door. Only to find that there’s not knob to open it. Quickly she heads into the closet in hopes of hiding. She places a hand over her mouth to stealth her breathing as Freddy enters the living room. He turns his head slightly like he’s heard her.
Her eyes close and open again to see him heading straight for the closet and then he’s gone. Nancy eases back against hung up coats. Then to her side he appears, inches from her face. “Boo” he says and she screams and runs out of the closet as he swings his bladed hand and crashes through the closet door. She heads for the stairs only looking back to see if he’s following her.
The only light in the hallway is from the moon peeking in through a large window. She runs down the hall only to be slowed down when the floor turns into a thick deep red liquid. As Nancy still tries to out run Freddy, she begins to sink into the floor. The light is blocked out as Kruger stands in the hall easily walking toward her. “How’s this for a wet dream?” he laughs as she screams and is taken under.
She falls from the ceiling of her room and lands on her bed. Nancy takes a deep breath and sits up, her eyes study the dress she’s wearing. A baby doll looking dress. A pale pink, socks with a lace edging and shiny pale pink shoes with a strap. She looks up. Not sure how she got here but before she could piece anything together she’s pulled back into the mattress and held by invisible restraints.
The door slowly creeks open as Nancy looks in fear to see Freddy tapping on the wood with a grin. “Quentin, wake me up.” she says softly as to not let Kruger know she’s calling for help. He moans and places a blade gently on the top of the dress gliding it along her body. “This dress was always one of my favorites.” he grunts.
“Do you remember it, Nancy?” he says as he rounds the bed, running the blade along her legs and shoes as he reaches the other side. “Of course you do. You remember everything now, don’t you?” She turns away from, burying her face into the pillows.
“Your memories are what fuels me.” Freddy lays on the bed. His blade running up her leg. “Please no.” she murmurs not wanting to look at him.
“Your mouth says no.” He croaks as his blade begins to reach up her dress. “But your body says yes.” Nancy whimpers as tears run down her face. He makes an angry growling sound as he lifts his blade from her body. “Don’t you look away from me!” he shouts.
“Look at what you did to me.” He yanks her up to stare at him. Holding her by the shoulders “Now it’s time to play.” With force he tosses Nancy into the corner of her room. Knocking down shelves and sending her to the floor. She picks up a pair of scissors as she tries to get up. Freddy walks up behind and Nancy quickly shoves the scissors into his eye socket, hoping that she’s injured him long enough for her to escape. But to her dismay he just pulls the scissors from his eye and laughs. “You can’t hurt me. You’re in my world.” He says.
“And you can’t ever leave.” he laughs as he sends her flying from the door where she’s at back to the bed. Nancy screams from her position on the mattress. “I wanna wake up!” she shouts so loudly that it echos into the real world waking up Quentin, who’s been attacked by Kruger, he crawls on the bed and tries to wake her up.
Back in the dream Nancy still screams as Freddy explains that he kept her awake long enough so that when she slept she’d never wake up again. “Did you really think your boyfriend could wake you up?” He ask hovering one blade above her. “I’m your boyfriend now.” he says as he raises the blade higher. “Sweet dreams” he says just before he’s about to stab her.
But back in the awake world Quentin had used the last adrenaline shot and Nancy quickly grabbed onto Freddy before waking up. She was back on the old dirty bed now with Freddy on top her. Nancy throws him off and pulls the syringe from her chest “Quentin! Get him!” she yells and Quentin gets up and slashes Kruger with the blade of the paper cutter. Freddy knocks the blade from his hands and stabs Quentin in the shoulder and tosses him across the room.
From behind Nancy jumps on his back and sticks him with the needle. “You fucking bastard!” she shouts as he tosses her to the floor.
“Good one, Nancy. Now let me take a stab.” He goes to stab her as she quickly grabs a board and uses it as a shield. The board gets caught on his blades and Freddy tosses it aside and goes to stab her again when Quentin shoves a piece of glass into Kruger’s leg.
Freddy kicks him to the side and turns his attention to the boy on the ground. His bladed glove held high as he walks toward Quentin. “Why won’t you just fucking die!” he scowls as he’s about to slash at Quentin, Nancy grabs hold of the paper cutter blade and slices through Freddy’s arm and sends his bladed hand to the floor.
“It hurts, don’t it?” She says as he looks back to her with a shock written all over his face. “That's because you’re in my world, bitch” she says as she slashes his neck wide open and he goes falling to the floor. Nancy stares at his lifeless body as Quentin gets up. “Wait” she says as she throws the lantern, breaking it and sends the whole basement in flames.
She helps Quentin out of the preschool and soon enough the entire place was crawling with police, the fire department, and an ambulance. They pull Quentin into the back on a stretcher and Nancy claims in with him. As they start to drive away she leans in and tells him the nightmare’s over. A look of calm is on her face as she leans back lifts her head up as if finally to relax.
Her mom later picks her up from the hospital and when they arrive at her house. Nancy walks in first, her mom close behind. The lights come on and Nancy walks into the living room. “Hey mom.” she says a little quietly. “I know were only trying to protect me. Thank you.” and she means it. She understands that her mom was just doing what she thought best. Gwen looks at Nancy and sets down her things and is about to say something when Nancy notices something. In the mirror behind her mom isn’t a reflection it’s Freddy.
Nancy’s mouth drops open and she screams in horror as Kruger reaches out of the mirror, shattering it, and stabs through Gwen’s skull. He pulls in Nancy’s mother and the mirror fixes itself. The only trace of Gwen’s death is the blood spatted walls and glass.
She continues to scream as everything comes full circle.
personality:
Nancy Holbrook has been described as the loneliest girl in the world.
She's the girl in the back of the classroom, with the drifted off look on her face. The one who's mind is off somewhere else. For the most part it is. Nancy lives in her head. Spending most of her time drawing, doodling, sketching whatever comes to her. This is shown throughout the movie. Her hunched over her latest sketch. Shading in all the minor details.
It's clear that she's not all that comfortable in her own skin. She even states that she doesn't quite fit in when asked why she's never gone out. Nancy feels misunderstood. Like no one gets her. She’s timid ,socially awkward and has a hard time really connecting to people.
The reason for her feeling alienated has to do with her having been molested as a child. It's common for child abuse victims to feel lonely, misunderstood, and like they don't fit in. All of which apply to Nancy. She’s disturbed, haunted by her past even though she doesn’t remember it.
Though she is obviously well liked by most of the main characters in the movie, Nancy isn’t friends with everyone. As started above it’s hard for her to connect with people on a personal level. She tends to shy away and keeps to herself making it hard for anyone to really get to know her. But that doesn’t make her a unlikable person. She’s seems to be the girl everyone knows of but doesn’t know.
As the movie progress we see Nancy come out of her shell little by little. As she starts to reveal bits and pieces of her forgotten past. She begins to seem to be able to speak up against her mother. Even her pasture begins to strengthen. And though she's working against her own worn body, Nancy starts to open up more to Quentin, a boy she knows from school.
Not until after finding pictures of herself in Fred Kruger's "cave" does Nancy fully understand why she is the way she is. Everything seems to make sense, like all the pieces finally fit. Nancy, with her hate fueling her, even goes to sleep to face Freddy one on one and make him pay for what he did to her and her friends. She takes an active approach to defined herself from Fred Kruger. Showing a stronger side to herself that had always been there, just hidden under the surface.
After facing her all too real demons, it looks like a new Nancy has risen from what used to be. One that looked forward to the future and being a brighter version of her former self. That is until Kruger makes one last stretch into the awakened world and kills her mother.
abilities: She is a normal average human. No super human powers or special fighting skills. Though she does have the strength to learn how to protect herself.
weaknesses: All human weakness. She could easily be killed, injured, the same as we could be.

↪ samples.
first person sample:
[voice]
Quentin, are you out there? [Nancy waits for a response. This is a dream. It has to be. That was the only explanation she could find.] Kruger? [She whispers in the phone waiting to hear a reply.]
I know you're doing this. You sick bastard. [Her tone is harsh but it's clear that she's tired. Worn out. There's silence for a moment or two. Just the sound of breaths being taken and exhaled.] I'm not your little Nancy. You've taken everything from me. I'm gonna get you back.
Do you hear me? I don't know how but I will. You won't get me.. not like you did the others.. not like you got.. [It's clear she's close to tears. It's in her voice.] Do you hear me?! Kruger. Show yourself.
third person sample:
This was dream, wasn’t it? It had to be. Everything seemed quiet and everything seemed a little off. She didn’t recognize the city, Nancy’s never been here, or at least she doesn’t think she has. Then again she didn’t remember the preschool either or Fred Kruger. But how much could her mind keep from her? Or what was Freddy trying to show her now?
A different city? A different time?
Nancy’s tears haven’t even dried yet and her throat was still sore from screaming for her mom. He had killed her but it was in her dream, right? It didn’t work that way. He couldn’t kill her mom because it was Nancy’s dream. Not her mom’s. So what she saw wasn’t real, right? She felt confused.
She turned around quickly, her wild hair whipping across her face as she did. Her arm was still in the sling and her feet were beginning to hurt from the heeled boots.
There was nothing that Nancy wanted to do more then just fall down and curl up in a ball. She wanted to cry because the sight of Kruger pulling her mom into the mirror was repeating over and over in her head. Her heart felt heavy and she just wanted to scream, like a little girl, for her mom or for Quentin. Anybody.
But she couldn’t. Because that was what Freddy wanted. He wanted her to give up so he could keep her. Nancy was stronger then that. She knew she couldn’t give up even though she wanted too so bad. No matter how tired she was.
Her eyes shot to her own surroundings. This wasn’t Freddy’s usual. Where was the preschool? The burning boiler room? It didn’t make sense that he’d bring her here. Unless he wanted to throw her off. Catch her off guard. “Where are you, you son-of-a-bitch.” she said under her breath as she continued to walk through the quiet streets.

history: Nancy's Basic Information.
Nancy was raised in Springwood, Ohio. Her mother, Gwen, basically brought her up as a single parent. Her father has pretty much been absent her whole life. Though they've had their struggles they've made a pretty good life living in 1428 Elm Street, in the middle of a peaceful suburb.
When she was around five years old Nancy attended a preschool called Badham. This is where events occur that would change her life forever.
There was a man who lived in the basement of the school. His name was Fred Kruger. He posed as a friendly, good spirited man who loved children. The truth couldn't be further. Fred would gain the children's trust and bring them to his "magic cave" where he would touch them and cut them with his home made bladed glove. He took a liking to Nancy. Calling her his little Nancy and most people recognized her as his favorite.
The parents of the children who attend the school, including Gwen, started to notice a change in their kids behavior. When asked if anything was happening at the school, the five year old Nancy told her mother everything.
Soon after hearing what all their kids had to say the parents decided to take justice into their own hands. They didn't want their children to have to go through with telling an entire court room what Fred Kruger did to them. They hunted him and cornered him in an abandon boiler-room. In a last minute decision some of the parents grabbed a gasoline canister and placed a lit rag in it. They tossed through a window and the whole place went up in flames. Killing Freddy and ending their kids' nightmare.
Often with victims of molestation the memory of it happening simply is forgotten. Especially when the victim is very young. The mind can't handle it so it hides the memory, covering it, behind a brick wall. Which is what the parent's of Elm Street wanted to happen. They separated their kids and eventually all the children of Badham preschool forgot.
Fast-forward thirteen years and we find Nancy working as a waitress in the Springwood Dinner on the weekends. She pours Dean, a guy she knows from school, a cup of coffee and warns him "If you keep falling asleep, they're going to kick you out" before continuing with her job. A few minutes later Kris walks in from the rain and Nancy greets her and points her in Dean's direction.
She goes to collect the check from another table of classmates as they toss a few dollars that don't cover the whole amount and leave. All except one gets up from the table. Quentin. He covers the rest of the bill and strikes up some small talk. Asking her if she gets tired of working there every weekend to which she responds "Don't you get tired of coming here every weekend?" The way they speak to each other has a slight hint of awkward flirting that just keeps getting more awkward. Once he leaves she returns to collecting the dirty dishes from the table.
It's then that she hears Kris's panicked voice. She turns just as Dean seemingly forces a knife into his neck and carves it wide open.
At his funeral Nancy approaches Kris and Jesse and overhears them talking about what Dean said about having nightmares. She begins to tell them that she's seen.. but is interrupted by Jesse who tell her she's seen nothing, that she wasn't right there and Kris was. As they walk away Nancy mutters "You have no idea what I've seen." Her mother seconds later walks over to embrace her daughter as she can tell that something about the recent encounter was troubling her.
Later that night she finds herself lost in thought again. Her earbuds snug in her ears, her ipod on some alternative song and a glass of water on her nightstand. Nancy nozzles into her pillows and tries to get more comfortable. Her eyes start to grow heavy and soon she finds herself asleep. Once she's calmly resting the wall behind her starts to ripple and a face and hands begin to stretch out from it. As soon as the face opens it's mouth and claws rip from through the wall Nancy wakes up as if she were suddenly startled.
A few days after Nancy is back in school putting things away in her locker when Quentin walks up and asks about a drawing that she has in her hands. Which she says is a sketch. The sketch itself hauntingly resembles something that looks like a face with clawed fingers held out in front of it. Once she places everything in her locker Quentin tells her if she needs to she could talk to him. To which a small smile forms on her face before he's rushed off by his dad.
Again Nancy is lost in thought. Her ipod on blast and a piece of an art pencil in her hand. It's late and her mom's trying to get her attention to tell her to go to sleep. Nancy says she will and continues to draw when her mom closes the door and walks away someone comes up behind her. It's Jesse and he's covered in blood which he tells her it's Kris's. She starts to back away thinking that he's done something to her. That's when he tells her someone killed Kris in her sleep.
Jesse tells her that something is going on and that she knows what he's talking about. He says that someone is after them in their dreams and that she knows it because of what she said at Dean's funeral. "All I hear is this song.. 1,2 freddy's coming for you." she tells him and he says that they need to do something to stop this Freddy. When she asks how all he has to say is I don't know.
Jesse leaves her with the words "Don't fall asleep, if you die in your dreams.. you die for real." and starts to run when he hears the police sirens. He's caught in front of Nancy's house and she and her mom watch as he is driven away.
Clearly bothered by the news of Kris's death and Jesse being taken away by the police, Nancy calls Quentin to tell him everything she knows. They make plans to meet each other the next day at a local bookstore/internet cafe.
When Nancy finds Quentin he's a sleep and as she goes to reach for him he jumps awake to which she ask if he was having a nightmare. And when he doesn't answer she says the name "Freddy?" to which he just stares at her. They begin to work on finding out about dreams and how they work. Books pile on their table as Nancy continues to exhaust herself. Quentin offers her a pill which he claims is basically speed for kids with A.D.D. She turns him down and sees a religious necklace hanging from his neck when asked about it he replies "You've got to believe in something, right?"
As they go through with their research they discuss the Piped Piper of Hamlin, who took his revenge on a town by taking their children. When Nancy says she's also seen children in her dreams, Quentin reads to her what he's found saying that after about seventy hours of being awake that the brain will shut down on it's own to try to recharge. Most times when this happens the person will dream when they're awake, these are called micronaps, and if the person stays awake longer they would fall into a coma. Permanent Sleep.
Later on Nancy questions her mom about her relationships with Dean, Kris, Jesse and Quentin. She ask if they've ever gone to school together before the sixth grade or if they've ever known a man named Freddy, to which he mom says no. But Nancy can tell her mom isn't telling the whole truth.
While taking a bath that night Nancy sets her alarm and starts to fall asleep. As she relaxes into the tub a gloved hand equipped with razor blades rises from the bath water but a knock on the restroom door wakes Nancy up and the hand disappears. It was just her mom asking if she was okay and that she is going to sleep. Shortly after she gets out and dries herself off. After hanging up her towel she opens the door to her room to be greeted by snow falling to her feet. She walks out into the winter wonderland.
When she looks around she is no longer in her room but outside an old preschool. Slowly she makes her way toward the front door when she hears someone behind her. Nancy turns to a man with a burned face, wearing a red and green sweater and on his right hand a glove with razors. He asks if she remembers him to which she tells him he's only a dream. Freddy laughs at this and calls her his little Nancy, His number one, and licks the side of her face.
The sound of her phone ringing awakes her from her dream. It's Quentin calling to tell her that Jesse is dead. She quickly tells him about her dream and he says he's on his way.
Once there they begin to look up the preschool from Nancy's dreams. Badham. They find out very little about and know that it's now closed down but no pictures or anything to trigger a memory. Nancy shows Quentin a picture she drew when she woke up of the school but still he can't place it. She tells him about her mom and how she thinks she's hiding something from her.
They start to dig through her mother's desk, searching for anything that might tell them what her mom won't. Nancy opens a drawer and looks through it but when she doesn't find anything she tries to close it. It doesn't shut. She pulls the drawer out and behind it is a folder and inside that folder is a picture of a class of preschoolers. Quentin takes the picture and turns it around to see the names on the back and sure enough they are all there. Dean, Kris, Jesse, Quentin and Nancy.
Her mom comes in asking what they are doing and that's when Nancy confronts her. Asking why she was lying to her to which Gwen responded that she didn't want Nancy to live with those memories, that she was trying to protect her and make her forget. That's when she explains to Nancy about Freddy but changes the end to him skipping town before they (The parents) could confront him. Gwen says that these nightmares are just repressed memories and nothing more.
Still Nancy thinks there's more to the story and her and Quentin set out to find more information. Or at least that's what Nancy wants to do. As they pull out Quentin's dad stops them and Quentin leaves Nancy alone in the car. Convinced that the nightmares are just that, nightmares. But Nancy knows that memories don't kill you and that there is way more then what their parents are telling them.
Alone she goes to the school computer lab to look up all the kids in the class picture. To which she finds out that most of them are dead. Nancy stumbles across a website of Marcus Yeon, one of the kids from her preschool, where he posted videos and talked about his nightmares. The video diaries end with him falling asleep in front of his webcam and his head flying face first into the lens and then blank.
Quentin then walks in and explains to Nancy that he had a dream about what really happened to Kruger. They both go to confront his dad who admits that they didn't really know if Freddy was guilty. That the parents were just acting on what the kids told them. This leads Nancy and Quentin to believe that their parents killed an innocent man. They start to think that they got him killed with their lies and that's why he's after them now.
As they storm out they go over what they could do to make him stop. Nancy sees the lights start to flicker down the hall and stops in her tracks. She hears Kris call out her name and slowly turns to see her friend in a body bag being pulled away. Then in a blink of an eye Kris is standing again and asks Nancy if she wants to hang. She starts to laugh but it's Freddy's dark chuckle instead Kris's voice. Quentin pulls her out of it when he walks back to her and asks what she's doing. Nancy tells him that she saw Kris in a body bag and he exclaims that she's been awake too long and that they should find out where this preschool is.
On their way to look for the closed down preschool, Quentin stops at a pharmacy to get more of his pills. While he's inside Nancy waits in the car trying to keep herself awake. She starts to go through her phone when there's a knock at her window when she turns Freddy opens the door and pulls her from the car. Nancy jumps in her seat to find that she was micronapping again.
To stay focused she slaps herself and then sees the car lighter and pushes it in. When its ready she pulls it out and sets it on her arm, burning herself in an attempt to stay awake.
Not being able to wait any longer Nancy gets out of the car and into the store where she starts to look for Quentin. But once again she finds herself in the middle of the awaken world and the dream world. Freddy approaches her, running his claws along the pipes of his boiler room. Nancy falls as he reaches out for her and she grabs on to his sweater which tears as she reaches the floor. Trying to get as far away from him as possible she starts to crawl backwards. He slashes at her cutting her right shoulder with four razor slits.
She's screaming on the floor when Quentin finds her and pulls her up. The injuries on her arm need medical attention and he tells her that they need to get to the hospital. Nancy stares at a piece of torn sweater in hands and Quentin ask what it is. "I pulled it out of my dream" she says and he lifts her up from the floor and head to the hospital.
There she's placed in a bed and her mom is called. When her mom gets there she asks Nancy who did that to her. Nancy tells her that Freddy did and while they are talking the doctor is preparing a sedative that will put her right to sleep. When Nancy looks over the doctor is wearing Kruger's glove and she starts to scream that she doesn't want it.
The doctor ask for Gwen to speak with her out in the hall and that’s when Nancy sneaks away to search for Quentin. When she finds him they start to head for the preschool again stopping only so Quentin could take an adrenaline shot. He offers one to Nancy but she doesn’t know what the side effects are and turns it down.
They hit the road again with the radio on blast. “What should we talk about?” he says.
“Anything.. what’s your favorite color?” Nancy ask trying to strike up some sort of conversation.
Quentin laughs a little “Blue. If you really want to talk about something, why is that you never show up when I’ve invited you out?” He turns to her. It’s a serious question.
“I don’t think you’ve noticed but I don’t exactly fit in.” she says and there is a second of silence. Quentin turns to her with a sympathetic look. “Look if we survive the next twenty-four hours, I’m gonna ask you on a real date.” This make Nancy blush as she turns away and then back to him.
“And what if I say no?” she’s clearly flirting.
“I’ll let you sleep on it.” He says which gets them both to laugh. In the middle of their connecting a shadowy figure is in the middle of the road. Quentin swerves to not hit it and send his car into a marsh. They get out and Quentin says it was Freddy out on the road. She tells him they must be getting close.
As they walk along the empty road they hear a haunting laugh and turn back to see nothing.
It doesn’t take them long to find the prechool which they quickly break into. They search the classrooms which are dark and full of graffiti. Quentin screams and startles Nancy. "Are you alright?" She ask.
"I can't tell what's real anymore" he says and it's clear he's starting to micronap. She tells him to follow her and they find themselves in the basement, Freddy’s old room, which is littered with razors.
Nancy lights up a lantern and looks around. In a small corner is a bulletin board with drawings that eerily resemble her own. She calls Quentin over who pulls the bulletin board away to reveal a sliding medal door that he pulls open. He pulls at the webs and climbs in, Nancy follows with the lantern as their only source of light.
Once inside Nancy slowly begins to remember the hole in the wall. Freddy had brought her there to paint on his wall. As she continues to look around Quentin finds a small box and opens it. She turns to see what he has and ask about the Polaroids in his hands. He says he can’t show them to her. Not putting up with that answer Nancy rips the pictures from his hands. He explains that they are pictures of her, all of her.
She begins to cry as Quentin puts everything together. “He’s not after us because we lied. He’s after us because we told the truth.” Nancy slides down the wall in the corner of the room. Her memories all flooding back to her now. All the things Freddy did to her all painfully vivid in her mind. “He wanted us to remember” is all she can say. They stay in silence because neither of them know what to say.
“What does he want from us? He’s never gonna stop.” Quentin shouts as he paces the room. Nancy’s trying to think as she pulls something from her pocket. It’s the piece of Freddy’s sweater that she ripped from him back at the pharmacy. “I know what to do.” she says as she climbs out of the small room.
She sits on what used to be Freddy’s bed with Quentin, they’re both quiet for a moment before he speaks up. “There has to be another way.” Nancy just stares at the piece of sweater in her hands. “If we just sit here and do nothing we’re gonna die.” she replies trying to build herself up for what she’s about to do.
“I should do this” Quentin insist, not wanting Nancy to into the dreamworld in fear that she’ll die next.
“I’m the one who pulled out the sweater...“ She looks to him with stern eyes. “What if I’m the only one who could bring him out.” It’s clear that she doesn’t want to do this either. But she has to.
“Nancy, I can’t let you go to sleep. You’re not gonna wake up.” Quentin is scared, they’re both scared.
“I know that you won’t let that happen.” she reassures him, showing him that she trust him to wake her up if anything happens.
“Wake me up if you see me struggle.” She knows he will but they’re comforting words to help ease what she’s about to do. To which he gives her his necklace and smiles softly “You’ve got to believe in something, right?” he says as she pulls him in for a kiss. When they separate she lays down on the bed and listens as Quentin goes in search of a weapon. She turns to see that he’s broken apart an old paper cutter and again he smiles at her.
Turning away Nancy tries to get comfortable, closes her eyes and tries to shut out all noise so she could go to sleep. Before she knows it she finds herself in the boiler room. There’s fire flicking around ever other corner. “Kruger!” she yells, calling him to her to make this easier. As Nancy walks around the extremely hot boiler room she hears a faint singing. “1, 2. Guess who’s coming for you.” She turns to see if he’s close by.
“Hey, Little Nancy.” Again she spins around to see Freddy standing right behind with a slight sadistic grin on his charred lips. “Now that you’ve caught me, what game do wanna play?” he asks as Nancy stares at him with disgust.
“Fuck you!” she says.
“Oooh sounds like fun. That’s a little fast for me” He replies “How about we hang first?” Freddy grabs Nancy by the neck and whips her around to see the hanging bodies of her dead friends. Jesse, Kris, and Dean. All of them bloody and tied up to pipes. “This isn’t real” she says trying to look away. He whips her in front of him by her neck “It’s real. I’m real.” Kruger breaths as he leans in closer.
Nancy shoves him with a grunt and runs. Trying to get away. She finds herself in her house. The boiler room is gone and replaced with the cool and calm of a sleepy suburban home. With sharp turns Nancy looks around the room. The sound of heavy footsteps echo in the dark silence.
With the sight of his shadow Nancy runs to the front door. Only to find that there’s not knob to open it. Quickly she heads into the closet in hopes of hiding. She places a hand over her mouth to stealth her breathing as Freddy enters the living room. He turns his head slightly like he’s heard her.
Her eyes close and open again to see him heading straight for the closet and then he’s gone. Nancy eases back against hung up coats. Then to her side he appears, inches from her face. “Boo” he says and she screams and runs out of the closet as he swings his bladed hand and crashes through the closet door. She heads for the stairs only looking back to see if he’s following her.
The only light in the hallway is from the moon peeking in through a large window. She runs down the hall only to be slowed down when the floor turns into a thick deep red liquid. As Nancy still tries to out run Freddy, she begins to sink into the floor. The light is blocked out as Kruger stands in the hall easily walking toward her. “How’s this for a wet dream?” he laughs as she screams and is taken under.
She falls from the ceiling of her room and lands on her bed. Nancy takes a deep breath and sits up, her eyes study the dress she’s wearing. A baby doll looking dress. A pale pink, socks with a lace edging and shiny pale pink shoes with a strap. She looks up. Not sure how she got here but before she could piece anything together she’s pulled back into the mattress and held by invisible restraints.
The door slowly creeks open as Nancy looks in fear to see Freddy tapping on the wood with a grin. “Quentin, wake me up.” she says softly as to not let Kruger know she’s calling for help. He moans and places a blade gently on the top of the dress gliding it along her body. “This dress was always one of my favorites.” he grunts.
“Do you remember it, Nancy?” he says as he rounds the bed, running the blade along her legs and shoes as he reaches the other side. “Of course you do. You remember everything now, don’t you?” She turns away from, burying her face into the pillows.
“Your memories are what fuels me.” Freddy lays on the bed. His blade running up her leg. “Please no.” she murmurs not wanting to look at him.
“Your mouth says no.” He croaks as his blade begins to reach up her dress. “But your body says yes.” Nancy whimpers as tears run down her face. He makes an angry growling sound as he lifts his blade from her body. “Don’t you look away from me!” he shouts.
“Look at what you did to me.” He yanks her up to stare at him. Holding her by the shoulders “Now it’s time to play.” With force he tosses Nancy into the corner of her room. Knocking down shelves and sending her to the floor. She picks up a pair of scissors as she tries to get up. Freddy walks up behind and Nancy quickly shoves the scissors into his eye socket, hoping that she’s injured him long enough for her to escape. But to her dismay he just pulls the scissors from his eye and laughs. “You can’t hurt me. You’re in my world.” He says.
“And you can’t ever leave.” he laughs as he sends her flying from the door where she’s at back to the bed. Nancy screams from her position on the mattress. “I wanna wake up!” she shouts so loudly that it echos into the real world waking up Quentin, who’s been attacked by Kruger, he crawls on the bed and tries to wake her up.
Back in the dream Nancy still screams as Freddy explains that he kept her awake long enough so that when she slept she’d never wake up again. “Did you really think your boyfriend could wake you up?” He ask hovering one blade above her. “I’m your boyfriend now.” he says as he raises the blade higher. “Sweet dreams” he says just before he’s about to stab her.
But back in the awake world Quentin had used the last adrenaline shot and Nancy quickly grabbed onto Freddy before waking up. She was back on the old dirty bed now with Freddy on top her. Nancy throws him off and pulls the syringe from her chest “Quentin! Get him!” she yells and Quentin gets up and slashes Kruger with the blade of the paper cutter. Freddy knocks the blade from his hands and stabs Quentin in the shoulder and tosses him across the room.
From behind Nancy jumps on his back and sticks him with the needle. “You fucking bastard!” she shouts as he tosses her to the floor.
“Good one, Nancy. Now let me take a stab.” He goes to stab her as she quickly grabs a board and uses it as a shield. The board gets caught on his blades and Freddy tosses it aside and goes to stab her again when Quentin shoves a piece of glass into Kruger’s leg.
Freddy kicks him to the side and turns his attention to the boy on the ground. His bladed glove held high as he walks toward Quentin. “Why won’t you just fucking die!” he scowls as he’s about to slash at Quentin, Nancy grabs hold of the paper cutter blade and slices through Freddy’s arm and sends his bladed hand to the floor.
“It hurts, don’t it?” She says as he looks back to her with a shock written all over his face. “That's because you’re in my world, bitch” she says as she slashes his neck wide open and he goes falling to the floor. Nancy stares at his lifeless body as Quentin gets up. “Wait” she says as she throws the lantern, breaking it and sends the whole basement in flames.
She helps Quentin out of the preschool and soon enough the entire place was crawling with police, the fire department, and an ambulance. They pull Quentin into the back on a stretcher and Nancy claims in with him. As they start to drive away she leans in and tells him the nightmare’s over. A look of calm is on her face as she leans back lifts her head up as if finally to relax.
Her mom later picks her up from the hospital and when they arrive at her house. Nancy walks in first, her mom close behind. The lights come on and Nancy walks into the living room. “Hey mom.” she says a little quietly. “I know were only trying to protect me. Thank you.” and she means it. She understands that her mom was just doing what she thought best. Gwen looks at Nancy and sets down her things and is about to say something when Nancy notices something. In the mirror behind her mom isn’t a reflection it’s Freddy.
Nancy’s mouth drops open and she screams in horror as Kruger reaches out of the mirror, shattering it, and stabs through Gwen’s skull. He pulls in Nancy’s mother and the mirror fixes itself. The only trace of Gwen’s death is the blood spatted walls and glass.
She continues to scream as everything comes full circle.
personality:
Nancy Holbrook has been described as the loneliest girl in the world.
She's the girl in the back of the classroom, with the drifted off look on her face. The one who's mind is off somewhere else. For the most part it is. Nancy lives in her head. Spending most of her time drawing, doodling, sketching whatever comes to her. This is shown throughout the movie. Her hunched over her latest sketch. Shading in all the minor details.
It's clear that she's not all that comfortable in her own skin. She even states that she doesn't quite fit in when asked why she's never gone out. Nancy feels misunderstood. Like no one gets her. She’s timid ,socially awkward and has a hard time really connecting to people.
The reason for her feeling alienated has to do with her having been molested as a child. It's common for child abuse victims to feel lonely, misunderstood, and like they don't fit in. All of which apply to Nancy. She’s disturbed, haunted by her past even though she doesn’t remember it.
Though she is obviously well liked by most of the main characters in the movie, Nancy isn’t friends with everyone. As started above it’s hard for her to connect with people on a personal level. She tends to shy away and keeps to herself making it hard for anyone to really get to know her. But that doesn’t make her a unlikable person. She’s seems to be the girl everyone knows of but doesn’t know.
As the movie progress we see Nancy come out of her shell little by little. As she starts to reveal bits and pieces of her forgotten past. She begins to seem to be able to speak up against her mother. Even her pasture begins to strengthen. And though she's working against her own worn body, Nancy starts to open up more to Quentin, a boy she knows from school.
Not until after finding pictures of herself in Fred Kruger's "cave" does Nancy fully understand why she is the way she is. Everything seems to make sense, like all the pieces finally fit. Nancy, with her hate fueling her, even goes to sleep to face Freddy one on one and make him pay for what he did to her and her friends. She takes an active approach to defined herself from Fred Kruger. Showing a stronger side to herself that had always been there, just hidden under the surface.
After facing her all too real demons, it looks like a new Nancy has risen from what used to be. One that looked forward to the future and being a brighter version of her former self. That is until Kruger makes one last stretch into the awakened world and kills her mother.
abilities: She is a normal average human. No super human powers or special fighting skills. Though she does have the strength to learn how to protect herself.
weaknesses: All human weakness. She could easily be killed, injured, the same as we could be.

↪ samples.
first person sample:
[voice]
Quentin, are you out there? [Nancy waits for a response. This is a dream. It has to be. That was the only explanation she could find.] Kruger? [She whispers in the phone waiting to hear a reply.]
I know you're doing this. You sick bastard. [Her tone is harsh but it's clear that she's tired. Worn out. There's silence for a moment or two. Just the sound of breaths being taken and exhaled.] I'm not your little Nancy. You've taken everything from me. I'm gonna get you back.
Do you hear me? I don't know how but I will. You won't get me.. not like you did the others.. not like you got.. [It's clear she's close to tears. It's in her voice.] Do you hear me?! Kruger. Show yourself.
third person sample:
This was dream, wasn’t it? It had to be. Everything seemed quiet and everything seemed a little off. She didn’t recognize the city, Nancy’s never been here, or at least she doesn’t think she has. Then again she didn’t remember the preschool either or Fred Kruger. But how much could her mind keep from her? Or what was Freddy trying to show her now?
A different city? A different time?
Nancy’s tears haven’t even dried yet and her throat was still sore from screaming for her mom. He had killed her but it was in her dream, right? It didn’t work that way. He couldn’t kill her mom because it was Nancy’s dream. Not her mom’s. So what she saw wasn’t real, right? She felt confused.
She turned around quickly, her wild hair whipping across her face as she did. Her arm was still in the sling and her feet were beginning to hurt from the heeled boots.
There was nothing that Nancy wanted to do more then just fall down and curl up in a ball. She wanted to cry because the sight of Kruger pulling her mom into the mirror was repeating over and over in her head. Her heart felt heavy and she just wanted to scream, like a little girl, for her mom or for Quentin. Anybody.
But she couldn’t. Because that was what Freddy wanted. He wanted her to give up so he could keep her. Nancy was stronger then that. She knew she couldn’t give up even though she wanted too so bad. No matter how tired she was.
Her eyes shot to her own surroundings. This wasn’t Freddy’s usual. Where was the preschool? The burning boiler room? It didn’t make sense that he’d bring her here. Unless he wanted to throw her off. Catch her off guard. “Where are you, you son-of-a-bitch.” she said under her breath as she continued to walk through the quiet streets.
