This chapter introduces the Chamberlain Slayer with a little back story. This story will be fairly close to the 2013 version of Carrie (She won't have any powers though). Things will get more crazy and racy in the next chapter as the girls attempt to bond and defeat the man with the mask. Some language in this chapter. No femslash yet but just be patient.
Chamberlain, Maine. Saturday detention. 8AM. A slight chill in the air in the month of January.
Sue Snell and her best friend Chris Hargensen were scheduled to report to the gymnasium for punishment for their attitudes during class. Chris was a troublemaker, she was probably the meanest girl in the small town high school; some would say she became this way after 5th grade, developing early, thus changing her group of friends. Sue was almost the exact opposite of Chris, she really didn't want to come off as a bitch but it was hard not to when she was always seen with her. A tall, skinny blonde girl that was still almost as quiet as she was when she was younger; not a dumb blonde but she sometimes acted this way because it seemed to do well for Chris dumbing herself down for guys.
Rita Desjardin was waiting for the girls; almost always seen in blue shorts and tank top with her dark red hair in a ponytail, she was never without her clipboard or whistle. She knew Chris and Sue's types, they didn't give a shit about gym class or team building but she was going to make sure they did by the end of the day.
The two entered the gym looking tired and done with the whole thing already. Rita was not pleased when she saw them in their jeans and sweaters. "Where are your gym clothes, ladies?"
"Come on are you serious?" Chris whined, "I thought we'd be sitting down the whole day."
"Carrie wore hers," Rita said, turning to Carrie White sitting on a bench in her blue short shorts and bright yellow top with their school's logo. This was jarring seeing Carrie there because she was never in any trouble, it was always Chris getting in trouble for bullying the meek, quiet girl.
"What's she doing here? Is she like your assistant now?"
Rita turned to Carrie blankly and back to Chris, answering simply, "Unrelated incident."
"Miss Desjardin," Sue cleared her throat and spoke up, "Is it possible to get out early today?"
"Unless it's an actual medical emergency there's no freaking way, Snell." Sue looked away from her, not able to look her in the eye, "It's good all three of you are here. We're going to be learning about teamwork today...look I know you three have your differences but things have gotten ridiculous. By the end of the day you will have bonded and maybe even have a new appreciation for one another.
Chris pretended not to be listening, no surprise there. She did glare over at Carrie a number of times. The poor, messy haired blonde girl was afraid of Chris, even though she wasn't that much taller than her she still made her feel small.
"You two get changed," Rita ordered. Both rolled their eyes and tried walking as slowly as possible to the girl's room. Rita blew her whistle, "Come on! Let's hustle! Do you want to be here another Saturday?"
They reluctantly got their clothes out and changed. "This is such bullshit."
"Yeah, well it might not be that bad," Sue shrugged.
"She threatened to ban us from the spring fling if we keep fucking up! There's no way she can legally do that!"
"It's just a dance who cares?" Sue sighed.
"I care," she saw the stressed look on her face, "I know you want to get out of here and see Tommy. Has he texted you?"
Sue had this tiny smirk on her face, "Yeah."
"Well I can see him waiting. If he doesn't he's an idiot," she folded her arms, thinking about what she said, "What's this about the Spring Fling?"
"It's the anniversary," Sue said, looking frightened.
"Anniversary of what?" Chris almost laughed.
"You know, the Chamberlain Slayer."
Chris wasn't sure she heard her correctly at first but when it sunk in she burst out laughing. "Oh my God you believe that shit?"
"They never caught him, Chris!" Sue said with all seriousness.
"That's just a legend! Nobody even knows what really happened that night!"
10 years ago during the Spring Fling there was a fire in the gymnasium, trapping at least 12 people inside. When the fire was put out their remains were found but oddly it seemed the 12 that died were not killed by the fire, some were found butchered, the fire must've been to cover up someone's crimes. Of course there were all kinds of stories more outlandish than the next. One claim was a wild animal got loose since the school was so close to the woods. Many reported thinking that hey saw a masked man about 7 feet tall. Reports came in saying it was a simple electrical fire but the autopsy reports leaked and people suspected a cover up.
If there really was a Chamberlain Slayer there was no telling who it could be. Someone rejected from every girl in school? An escaped mental patient? A lot of people took this very seriously and got it in their heads that he would strike again.
"You can't cover up the truth," Sue insisted.
"Is that really true?"
Both Sue and Chris almost screamed. Carrie walked into the room without even making a sound.
"Fuck you, creep!"
"Sorry...Miss Desjardin wants you outside."
"Fine...whatever...," Carrie turned to head back but Chris called to her, "Hey, what you do to get detention?"
Carrie looked too scared to tell but she relented, "I...I told Miss Desjardin to shove that whistle up her ass..."
Sue and Chris looked at each other laughed harder than they ever had before.
"No fucking way!"
"That's awesome!"
Though it was very out of character for a girl as sheltered and quiet as Carrie to talk back to a teacher it was something that Chris would have done and she approved.
They walked back out and saw the strict Rita standing there looking more authority; Sue and Chris tried so hard not to laugh.
"What took you so long in there?" None of them answered. Chris looked away, closing her eyes with this huge smile. Rita walked up to Chris looking none too pleased, "What's so funny? Huh? You're not going to be laughing very soon. Count on it. Now let's stretch and get ready to run some laps."
The three stood next to each other, warming themselves up by stretching their arms and legs. Their difference in height was comical seeing that everyone was talker than Carrie and Sue rivaled their teacher.
Before they could even begin to run their first lap, the power went out. While it did seem like a moment of freedom, everyone was a bit creeper out.
"Dammit," Rita swore under her breath. She looked around shook her head. "Everyone stay here, I'm going to see what's happening."
She ran out into the hallway. None of the three wanted to admit just how afraid they were. All standing close to one another shaking. Sue heard Carrie gasp. She saw exactly what she was so shocked to see. A masked man, huge and holding some kind of weapon but it was too dark to tell.
"Holy shit, it's him!" Chris ran to the exit. Sue and Carrie not far behind. The man didn't chase after them however, he just stood there. Watching. If he really was the Slayer he was months early for the anniversary.
Chris nearly knocked down Rita as she was walking back to the gym. "Chris?!" Sue and Carrie bumped into her causing her to spin. "Girls?! Where do you think you're going?!" She was just at the main doors to the gym when she saw him. He had appeared just like he was magic. Rita tripped backward and fell down. "No...it can't be..."
He reached down at her with his gloved hand. He grabbed the string holding her whistle and pulled it tight around her neck. She tried to pull him away but he was too strong. She thought she was done for. In the struggle her top ripped open and her pink bra flashed him. Strangely he let her go and backed away. He ran off into the dark gym pitifully. Rita was left there scratching her head.
To be continued. Things are going to get steamy.
