Unknown Secret Of Carrie
Carrie was flying over an ocean on a starlit night. She could see the reflection of the full moon on the still water. It was a pretty site, the ocean had never been so still but, she wasn't here for the view if she was she wouldn't be flying in such a hurry. Carrie needed to go somewhere that was very important to here existence. She flew to an apartment window that was fully open; the inside was dark except for the light from the moon. There were people in the room she could tell by all the love noises they were making. Carrie waited in the other side of the room hidden behind a vase. Carrie felt embarrassed to be in the same room with her chosen couple while they were 'bonding'. When she heard them scream out in passion Carrie (wasn't that even her name?) stepped out. The couple on the bed were passed out drunk from the booze and the sex.
Carrie or whoever she was now hovered over the couple, more particularly the women. The women in question was laying face down on the bed sighing contenting at their love session five seconds ago. She didn't want to do this, they weren't together anymore through means of too many misunderstandings and heartbreaks. She wanted to exist through their love not through their moment of drunken lust but, what choice did she had, it was either now or never. Izabella, that was her name, hovered a little higher then like a diver to water she darted down to the women whom she would become her daughter. Once she dived into the darkness Carrie woke up with feelings of unease and puzzlement.
Since his almost close encounter with the Dark man Xipe had been having dreams about Izabella. It had been strange to be thinking about her now, after all he hadn't seen her since the Rebirth of Leviathan's son. The dreams would be of her hovering over Angelique then she'll disappear. Over and over the dream came back to haunt him. It was distressing to be thinking about Izabella now, he was already having troubles with the disappearance of his daughter, his first born child, Carrie.
Standing at the doorway with the man he'd been looking for, Daniel Torrence he began to explain. "You might not remember me but, a year ago I made a perchous for a doll. It was for m-my daughter, C-Carrie." Xipe had to pause for a moment, he didn't want to break down in front of a stranger. No matter how hard he tried to keep calm he ended up crying anyway. "I-I want you to h-help m-me. M-My little girl is-is broken and I w-w-want you to fix her. P-Please, help me!"
Just when he thought Danny was going to reject him, he said something that was very unexpected. "I told her that someday you'll need it, Elliot." Xipe looked at him in surprise. How did he know his human name and how did he know that he needed the doll? Danny took off his glasses, smiling at him. "I know you use to be human. You use to be Caption in WW1 but something bad happened during the war that made you feel it was all your fault that you let everyone die. Every single body you found in the fields made you think of Ben, how you should have saved him. You think if only you went with him he'd still be alive. It haunts you every day, the pain is so unbearable to you that you went so far as to numb yourself from alcohol to drugs to sex to the point were you were so down on your luck you even thought about jumping off that bridge in London all those years ago until you met a man with a turban. He had a box that you thought would stop the pain but instead it increased it to the point were it made you into what you are right now."
Xipe was stunned at all the information Danny just told him. He was so dumbfounded that he almost dropped the shoe box in front of Daniel. "How did you know?" he asked in a mix of awe and fear. What if Torrence was like the Dark man or God himself? Danny only smiled, "Don't worry Elliot, I'm nothing like the Dark man. I'm very surprised a demon like yourself would be afraid of him. Maybe that proves you're still human. Want to com inside?"
Hesitant at first, Xipe went inside feeling cautious. With all the strange occurrences here: The Dark Man, the Thing in the sewers, Needful Things, Carrie White, etc. He didn't know weather or not it was a good idea to come here in the first place. Once inside though it was very welcoming, the fire in the fireplace made it warm and comforting. There was a faint smell of pine and sage. It made him think of the time he first went Izabella. Right after his family found out his brother, Ben was found dead he was sitting next to the bedroom window crying, blaming himself for not saving him. There was a tap on the window were he saw a moonlight orb, asking him to come inside. She had a voice like an angel. Letting her in she showed her true self to him. She was beautiful he remembered.
He snapped back into reality once Danny took the shoebox from him. "Follow me," he said. Xipe followed Danny into a room were it was filled with porcelain dolls. Most of them looked like little children which was a little unnerving to Xipe because they looked so alive. There was some that looked similar to Barbie's but they were far more elegant and fragile. There was one doll that caught his eye. It stood in the middle of the table with a support handle on it's back. The doll was elegant and beautiful like the other dolls, it was just the familiarity that caught his eye.
The doll had long brown hair with sapphire eyes. She wore a white dress that sparkled with ebony buttons on the front. Her skin was almost as pale as marble. Her skin and her dress cast the illusion that she was glowing…like the moonlight. Xipe went over to the table to examine her. That skin, that dress, those blue eyes like the ocean at dusk. It was unmistakable that this was Izabella! "You know her, don't you?" asked Danny.
He looked over at Danny, he had set the shoebox down on the table. His expression was calm with a hint of glee in his eyes. "Yes, I know her. Her name is Izabelle, she's an Anima, a spirit of our God Leviathan. The last time I saw her was when Fern was reborn. Since then I've assumed she was born to someone else or giving ideas to musicians." Izabella was a muse to some of the greatest musicians in history, her latest was with Kevin Cobain, the lead singer in the band Nirvana before he snuffed himself off.
Danny took off the lid of the shoebox, his fingers gliding the broken pieces of Carrie. It took a second for him to respond. "I've had dreams of this Izabella. My first dream of her was six years ago. I remember her hovering over a women in the dark then she disappeared inside her. Over the years I've dreamed of her in pain, of her dying slowly from grief, but then she was saved by a man with no skin. I didn't know weather to call it a nightmare or not but, this skinless man…he saved her life. I thought the dreams had stopped at first but then they reappeared again, she was sad again only she didn't know why but, I knew. The skinless man was gone. Something happened to him but, I don't know what."
"Do you have an idea who this skinless man would be? He sounds like our prisoner." Said Xipe, he didn't know weather or not he should thank this man or not. This skinless man might be a prisoner of the Labyrinth but, he'd have to reward him for saving Izabella. "His name was Frank Cotton." Xipe flinched at the name. Frank Cotton? How was that possible? Anima hardly ever show themselves to anyone not even to prisoners like Frank!
Apparently something happened to Frank to make her sad again. Why on earth Izabella would be sad over a prisoner was beyond him but, he let it slide. There was something about Izabella and Carrie that were connected to each other he had to know. "Had you had any more dreams about her?"
"The last one was over in September, she was hiding in a dark place because she did something wrong. I think she broke something on accident then she became sad. Her father said the most cruelest thing in the world."
"What did he say," said Xipe with a snarl. Who ever her chosen father was (he wondered why she chose a cruel man as a father instead of him and Kirsty was odd) he would find him and tear him limb from limb. Having an Anima for a child was a blessing, even humans can tell when they have one even if they don't know what an Anima is. Who ever the father is, he didn't deserve an Anima like Izabella, never! It took a moment or two for Danny to speak. His patience wearing thin, he wanted to go over to Danny and shake the answer out of him then Danny said something that would shock him to his blacked soul. "I wished her mother had an abortion." Xipe almost collapsed at the words, it felt like his body was sinking to the floor his eyes wide as saucers. When Angelique and Xipe were a couple, Izabella wanted to become their daughter. They had tried so many time to conceive her but always failed. Maybe it wasn't meant to be, Angelique cheated on him and told him out right she didn't love him.
They might not have loved each other any more but they both loved Izabella, beyond words. Maybe this was her attempt to bring them together as a family, he thought. Izabella was Carrie! Tears began to form in his eyes, he was given a blessing and he shuned her away. She loved them both but, was never given love in return. If only Carrie was here he would ask, no, beg for her forgiveness. If only he knew were she was, "Carrie I'm sorry," he whispered to himself. "I wish I knew were you were."
Xipe sank to the floor in despair, feeling hopeless until Danny granted his wish. "I know were she is, Elliot but I hope she gets out alive." He looked up at Danny in a mixture of hope and fear. The hope of knowing were she is, knowing she's alive but, the fear that she might be in danger. Was she held against her will? Was she being forced to do something terrible? Were they torturing her? All the questions were buzzing in her head. But the most fearful of all was answered by Danny. "She's in the very same place were I was a child and were I lost my father. She's at the Overlook Hotel."
