CHAPTER 14: Nightmare
Friday, December 14th 2000
Carlin Street, 3:00am
It was dark outside in the morning and the neighborhood was very quite. Carrie was in her room sleeping with her stuff lamb tucked in underneath the warm covers of her bed. During the last few days the weather has been getting cooler and all the adults made sure that their kids dressed up in heavy coats and pants before winter started this month. Margaret also makes sure that her daughter stays all nice and warm so that way she doesn't get sick. Everyday Carrie would wear a big jacket and some jeans that her mother got at a cheap price at clothes store in town. Usually Margaret would never let her daughter wear what the other kids wear today, but she's alright with Carrie wearing jeans during the winter seasons, because it will keep her warm. As the night went by Carrie continued to sleep peacefully, she began to dream about having a fun day in her backyard. She was sitting underneath the big tree playing with her stuff lamb and her mother was planting flowers in the garden.
Everything was perfect, but then all of a sudden a loud smashing sound hit the top of their house. The mother and daughter looked up and then they saw stones coming down from the sky. Carrie got scared and ran to her mother for comfort and when Margaret picked up her daughter she quickly ran inside the house for safety while carrying her daughter. She went into the living room and continued holding Carrie in her arms to protect her from the falling stones. The little strawberry blond started crying and her mother tried to comfort her daughter while praying to the lord for help. Carrie also tried to pray for help as well, because she was scared and felt that she was going to die. The dream got worst when all of a sudden Margaret put her daughter down and than started yelling at her and told Carrie to go into the closet. She didn't want to go into the closet, because Carrie is scared of being locked up in a small room all alone so she said no to her mother. That was when Margaret got so angry she quickly grabbed a butcher knife from the kitchen and told her daughter to go into the closet now. Carrie ran towards the closet and her mother locked the door and then her daughter began to cry as she tried to pray to god for help. It was in that moment Carrie started screaming when she woke up from her nightmare and it was so loud that it woke up Margaret and she ran to daughter's room to see what was wrong.
During that same time the house started shaking for a few seconds and then, but it eventually stopped when Carries mother made it to her daughter's room and gave the little girl a hug. "Carrie what's wrong" Margaret while comforting her daughter "I had a nightmare momma" Carrie said with tears coming down her eyes. "Its ok sweetie, I'm here to protect you. No one's going to hurt you, I promise" Margaret said which made Carrie feel better as the tears stopped coming down her eyes. "I love you momma" Carrie said while giving her mother a hug "I love you to Carrie" Margaret said. After that Carrie went back to sleep and her mother went back to her room and tried to get back to sleep to.
