Reagan
It had been a while since Xipe Totec had been summoned. The last time he was summoned to the Overlook Hotel and hoped to never ever visit that place again or anything like it. Tonight he was summoned to a house in California were a low budget director lived. It was business as usual along with his minions, the old usual slice and dice 'rip the soul apart' deal until he heard a growl behind him. At first Xipe thought it was a dog, it wasn't unusual for animals to protect their territory but, the way all three of his minions went back against the wall in terror told him it was something different. He slowly turned around and almost fell on his back at what he saw.
There are a very few things in this world that can harm or even kill a Cenobite. What they were all seeing before him was one of those things. It was on all fours like an animal but, he could tell it was human or put it correctly a human female child. The child was thin and coated in blood, the gnarling teeth was like a sharks. This feral ghost child was either aborted or died wrongfully and he knew one person that would keep such a thing.
"Hello, daddy," said Reagan, coming out of the darkness. The image of her frightened him more then her 'pets'. He wasn't the only one a little uneasy around her, practically half of the Labyrinth will hide to avoid her presence. Why on earth would they be afraid of the daughter of the Prince of Pain was simple: she was hostile. Once he saw Reagan throw a fellow Cenobite to her brood, eating him alive.
The child crawled happily to her owner, rubbing her head against her silk black dress. "I…didn't know you were going to visit," he said, keeping himself calm as possible. She smiled, the smile was so much like his. She walked over to him with the child crawling beside her happily. "You look a little….unsettled, daddy. Why are you afraid of your own daughter?"
"No….just a little uneasy with the darker side of Carrie."
"Oh, and why is that, father?" she asked, walking around their latest victim whom was hanging by a hook by his tongue. Her pet looked at the still screaming flesh with hunger in her eyes. Reagan stopped when she was face to face with his minions. "Boo," she said, making Butterball and Nikoletta jump back in terror. The only one that wasn't shaken by her presence was Chatterer. Xipe was amazed with his bravery, it was either because he was blind or he was just as frightening as she is. She stared at Chatterer with silent hatred. I'll make you fear me, she thought then she remembered asking her father something.
"I asked you a question, father," she said with a cold calmness. It took him a moment to answer.
"Well, you are unpredictable. I've seen how hostile you can get."
"If you are referring to that idiot J.P. Monroe whom I threw to my hungry children then you shouldn't worry. I did that because he didn't get the hint I wasn't interested," she said, stoking the feral child still staring at the meat. "Can Helen have some of your latest 'catch'." Xipe looked at the child. At least it's not us she's wanting to eat, he thought then nodded. The child went stood on it's hide legs like a dog on a piece of bacon and ripped off a piece of muscle. The director screamed even louder then before as the child went to the corner munching happily on her meal.
Xipe stared at the child in fascination, he never thought anything like a child act like an animal. He was so fascinated in the child eating that he forgot his child was there until she whispered in his ear, "We need to talk alone, daddy." He looked to his minions and mentally told then to go back without him, "I'll come back soon," he thought to them. Without being told twice they left with their prisoner, leaving Xipe, Reagan and Helen alone.
Once they were alone Reagan slapped him hard across the face. "Why did you have to bring that brat to Paradise?!" she yelled, her eyes full of rage. Her slap was enough to imbed his pins further into his cheek then went back to their formal position. It hurt but, at least it was temporary. He knew what she was talking about and it made him kind of angry with her. "Noel is part of this family and she has the right to see you!"
"No, she does not! She is Kirsty's daughter, not yours!"
"Danny is Kirsty's son and you don't have a problem with that." At this fact Reagan waved her finger back and forth as if to a naughty child. "That's were you're wrong daddy. I don't have a problem with Danny because he's my half brother, meaning he is your son. Noel is a different story, she doesn't belong to you."
"I know," he said sadly. "I know she's not mine but, I love her anyway."
"Ha! So you're saying you love James child?" Xipe froze for a moment. Every Time he heard the name James he wanted to search the man and skin him alive but, at the same time he didn't want to know. It already hurt him enough to know Noel wasn't his, it'll only hurt him worse to see the man's features in her face instead of his. It wasn't just James he hated, it was Kirsty the one that he thought he loved and be loved in return. Wasn't that the reason why she summoned him? Reagan put her hands on her hips and laughed. "You are the fool for love, aren't you?"
She threw her head back with a light laugh, the same way her mother does. At the thought of her mother he became very aroused with the thoughts he wanted to do to her. Reagan caught some of the naughty things he was thinking and made an evil smile. "Oh, father….you want to be with mama?" Xipe blocked his thoughts quickly, his face turning red with embarrassment. "That's none of your business," he hissed
At quick speed Reagan grabbed him by the throat and pinned him to the wall. If she wanted to she could kill him right now. "Father, I've been looking into your dreams for five long years and I can tell Kirsty hasn't been giving you any love in return. Why do you stay with that whore?"
"Because if I divorce her she'll take Noel away from me," he said, tears welling up in his eyes. She let him drop to the floor like a sack of potatoes. Tears were now falling to the ground. "I've already have one daughter taken from me…..by a Cotton and I don't want to lose another!" he sobbed, the idea of Noel being taken away was unbearable. He didn't think Noel would help his sorrow. That was one of the arguments he had with Kirty, she suggested they have another baby. "I don't want another baby! I want my Carrie!" he yelled once. Noel wasn't a replacement but a form of time travel. He wanted to go back to a time were he didn't abandon Carrie, that he loved her dearly and hope one day she would say to him, "I love you, I'm lucky to have a father like you."
Reagan knelt down to his level feeling guilty. Usually Reagan never felt guilty of anything. The day her father wanted to 'sleep' was the day she finally forgave him. "Oh come on father," she said holding him. "I didn't leave because of you…are at least practically but, because of Kirsty. She's the main cause you weren't in my life and she might not admit it but, she hates Carrie meaning she hates me and Izabella." Reagan thought about this for a moment then she suggested something that surprised Xipe.
"Alright…you don't divorce Kirtsy but, what if you marry mama in secret?"
"What? You mean become a bigamist?"
"No, I mean…" Reagan didn't finish, her body began flickering like alight. Reagan was only free to roam the earth when Carrie was sleeping. "Dammit, why does she have to wake up now! Come Helen!" Helen crawled back to her mistress dutifully and took her hand. "We'll talk about it later!" she yelled then disappeared.
