Margaret was in the living room with her daughter reading some chapters from the bible and they both prayed together before they ate breakfast. It was a tradition that Carrie and her mother do every morning. Sometimes they would also listen to Christian music on the radio, Margaret doesn't like the idea of having television in her house. She believes it will fill her daughters head with sin and lustful thoughts. After they finished their prayers Margaret made breakfast for her and Carrie. She made scrambled eggs with some bacon and some fresh oatmeal and some orange juice. Later on Carrie went to go play outside in the backyard while her mother was busy sewing a pair of pants and a shirt. Carrie loved playing in her backyard, it was peaceful and quiet, plus the big tree was always a relaxing place to cool off in the shade or to take a nap whenever she got tired during the day. During the first few minutes Carrie just started running around exploring the backyard and having fun like most kids her age do when they go play outside. After awhile she sat down underneath the tree in the shade and played with her stuff lamb while humming a religious song to herself. Carrie always loved playing with her stuff lamb, her mother Margaret made it for her when she was a baby and kept it ever since. She always took it with her where ever she went, whether it was going to the dry cleaners with her mother or going to the park just to relax. Carrie even sleeps with the stuff lamb at night because it made her feel safe whenever she had nightmares or when its thunder and lightning outside.
Carrie sometimes thought that the stuff lamb was her only real friend because she never got to play with other kids her age. None of the parents in chamberlain will let their kids play with Carrie because they don't like her mother. Margaret has gotten into lots of arguments with the neighbors before in the past which is one of the reasons why Carrie is always lonely. Carrie sometimes wishes that she could play with other kids her age and make real friends. The one thing that really scares Carrie the most is being lonely for the rest of her life. Whenever Carrie thinks like that she sometimes ends up crying and her mother holds her in her arms to comfort her and make her feel better. Carrie always loved being held in her mother's arms it reminded her of how much her mother loves and cares about her so much whenever she's upset.
"I wish I had real friends" Carrie muttered to herself while hugging her stuff lamb, Carrie then closed her eyes for a minute and took a deep breath just to make herself feel better because the thought of being lonely made her upset sometimes. When she opened her eyes something didn't seem right, at first she thought it was her imagination but Carrie saw it with her own eyes. Her stuff lamb started floating in mid air right in front of her, Carrie was scared at first but then she smiled a little because her toy was flying by itself. After a few seconds, the toy fell down to the ground as if nothing ever happened.
"How did that happen" Carrie said to herself feeling confused but happy in some ways. Normally when she plays with her stuff lamb it would just do nothing, until now. Carrie didn't know if this was real or not, she believes it might've been her own imagination but seeing her homemade stuff lamb float in the air looked so real. During that time, Margaret opened the back door and told her daughter to come inside the house because she heard on the radio that it was going to rain later in the afternoon.
"Carrie come inside now sweetie, momma doesn't want her little angel to get caught in the rain later today" Margaret said, the sky started to become grey, implying that it will soon start raining.
"Coming momma" Carrie said as she picked up her stuff lamb and walked up the steps to the back door where her mother was standing. As the mother and daughter go back inside the house, the sky started pouring rain for the afternoon showers that the weatherman reported on the radio.
Hey guys I hope you enjoyed this new chapter. I'm going to work on making this story be more like the novel in some ways but it will still be based off the 2013 film. There will be more sad events in Carries life as more chapters are updated in the story but I will try to keep it a little bit on the happy side. Until next time, leave your reviews and thanks for reading.
