Chapter 4: Still Alive
Carrie was gasping & breathing heavily & rapidly, as she shot right out of her cremation casket. She then rubbed her eyes, before looking around to see where she was, before wondering what had happened to her…
All Carrie could remember at first, was that moment on Prom night, just after she got humiliated by everyone at school, being drenched in blood, & pushing Miss Desjardin over with her powers, & then suddenly blacking out after hearing a clank, & feeling a nasty blow to the back of her head. Carrie then felt the back of her head where she was hit. Carrie gave a slight hiss of pain & squinted her eyes, as her head still hurt from when the blow, while the clank sound echoed in her head…
Carrie then opened her eyes, realising what had happened… the bucket of blood must have banged her on the back of the head, hard enough that everyone must have thought or believed she had been killed, & as she looked around again, she realised she was in a funeral home, along with noticing & feeling that she was clean of the blood, & was wearing a white funeral dress, & had beautifully made hair…
Carrie then carefully got out of her casket, before noticing in front of her casket, there bunches of flowers, all from students who knew her best at school. But what really shocked Carrie the most, other than some of them were from Sue, Tommy, Miss Desjardin, Erika, George & Principal Morton, But that the rest were from nearly everyone who bullied her since sixth grade: Tina, Nikki, Lizzy, even Heather, had paid their sorrow & respect to her. But Carrie also noticed there was nothing from Chris, which to her was no surprise really, but also, nothing from her own mother. Carrie then noticed a newspaper, with herself on the front page, so she took it & read it, using the moonlight to see what had been said:
"LOCAL HIGHSCHOOL STUDENT KILLED IN TRAGIC INCIDENT ON PROM NIGHT!"
On Friday 22nd June, Ewen High school student: Carrietta White, was killed on Prom night in an attempt of a prank, gone tragically wrong…
…One other student: Christine Hargensen & her boyfriend: William Nolan were arrested shortly after the Police & an Ambulance were called, as well as being apprehended by Susan Snell & Thomas Ross…
…Carrie's Mother: Margaret White was also arrested while being informed of her daughter's death, by attempted assault on police officers, believed later to be mentally insane, also believed to have possibly showed signs of her behaviour to her daughter…
Carrie continued to read the newspaper, learning all that had happened between that night, when she was supposedly killed, & now...
…Carrie's funeral will be held at the local church on the 29th June a 10:30am…
Carrie was shocked, she then put the newspaper back where it was, making it look like it had never been touched, before looking around for a calendar, until she found one on the wall. Every day of the month was ticked up to the 29th… Carrie was now really scared, her funeral was tomorrow morning, But what would happen when they see she wasn't really dead? She knew if she just went out & told everyone she was alive all along, it would frighten them. She was even worried that all those who had hurt her, may go back to their old habits if they saw she was still alive…
Carrie then took a little time to think, about what to do… Until she thought, & decided… she would have to fake out she was still dead, & leave Chamberlain… Forever…
Carrie went out of the room, by opening the locked door with her powers, before looking around all the rooms in the funeral home, while using her powers to not trigger any alarms, & black out all the security cameras, so no one who get evidence that she was still alive…
(10 Minutes Later…)
Carrie went back into the room where her casket was, while carrying a heavy wooden mannequin with her powers, which she had dressed up in a wing & clothing similar to what she was wearing. She then put the mannequin into the casket, before closing & locking it closed. Carrie then left room, before closing the door quietly & locking it, & then making her way out of the funeral home, while still using her powers to unlock & relock the main door, before leaving, & making her way back to her home…
(Half an hour later…)
Carrie was now on her home street, approaching her house. Along the way, she had changed out of her funeral dress, for some casual clothing, unalike what she was forced to wear by her mother… Carrie was now wearing a black leather rain jacket, a Navy Blue hoodie hiding her face, a black T-shirt, Black skin-tight jeans & black women's boots. She had to break into a local clothes store to get them, knowing it was wrong & was going against all that her mother forced her to learn, but in this matter, Carrie didn't really have much choice…
As Carrie came opposite to her house, she then looked around to make sure no one within the street or the houses could see her, before she then walked around to the back, & entered her house through the back door…
(Inside…)
Carrie got a bag, & packed it with all her clothes, toiletries & other accessories, despite her thinking of getting new clothing, wherever she may go. Carrie kept the lighting in the house very low, to make sure no one would notice that there was someone within her now non owned house. Carrie also packed her school rucksack with all her books on Telekinesis, as well as the holy cross on her bedroom wall. Carrie would have to worry about food and water while getting away from home, as she then knew she would have to commit another set of sins: Using her Mother's purse, & Cash Card Fraud on her Mother's card, as she entered her mother's bedroom, before looking into her mother's hand bag, & taking her mother's purse. Carrie looked through it, finding enough cash & cash cards to get by with, along with a photo of Carrie & her mother, smiling.
"Goodbye mama…" Carrie whispered, as tears started forming in her eyes, knowing from this very moment in time, she would never see her mother, ever again, even in Arkham, as she then put purse in her rucksack, before turning off all the lights in the house, & making her way out through the back door again…
Carrie then carefully made her way back down the street, with her face down in sadness, also to be hidden, knowing her time to leave home was now… Her new destination: The Local Railway Station…
