Chapter 2: Bonding

(Just under 33 years later…)

Date: Monday 10th June 2013

Time: 1:10pm

Year: 2013

Location: Ewen High School, Chamberlain, Maine,

It was gym class at the local High School, as one class of girls were preparing for volleyball practice in the swimming pool, including at 'School Reject' Carrie White…

From the moment Carrie was born, Life for her… was Hell… she was raised by her mother: Margaret White, who was a Mentally Unstable and Religiously Fanatical Zealot, who believed that everything was sinful… and whenever Carrie had or hadn't done something like that, Margaret would beat Carrie, and lock her in the Prayer Closet at their bungalow home… because of the way she had raised Carrie, Carrie had become an easy target of bullying from 6th Grade and beyond into High School, especially from her class group: The Mortimer Snerds, led by Chris Hargensen, consisting of her friends: Tina Blake, Nicki & Lizzy Waston, Heather Shyers, Rachel Spies, Anissa Chen, Jessica Upshaw, & several others...But secretly, one of the group: Sue Snell, one of Chris's closest friends, had recently started to have second thoughts about their actions towards Carrie, especially as she had never done anything bad to any them, which was also shared with the School Gym Teacher: Miss Rita Desjardin, who had suspicions of Margaret, from the way she acted in public, though no one was aware of Margaret's true colors, Rita had a strange feeling about her…

Carrie was standing by the pool, in her black swimsuit with white trim as the Snerds all came walking out in their red and blue swimsuits, laughing to each other…

Sue was then approached by her boyfriend: Tommy Ross, as he embraced her into a chucking hug, before the two began kissing… Tommy was then approached by best friend: David Carmody, as he embraced them into a chucking hand clapping, before the three began happily… causing Carrie to raise a small smile and Carrie like David…

"Wipe that smile off your face!" Chris rudely snapped at Carrie, causing Carrie to lose her smile, as Miss Desjardin to blow her whistle…

"Let's go ladies, In the water, Caps on Please! Chris & Sue, Let's go!" Miss Desjardin called, still blowing her whistle.

Throughout the game, everyone took part… except Carrie, who would spend most of the game standing in the corner, only taking shots that fell her way…

As Carrie was given a chance, she took her shot, but accidently hit Sue in the back of the head…

"You eat shit." Chris mocked as she threw the ball back at Carrie…

(Meanwhile, Mean Industries…)

It caused Daniel to spend most of his time obsessed with finding the passage to enter Rock of Eternity to gain powers. Over time, he became one of the smartest beings on the planet and a scientist working for his family's company Mean Industries, though he was still talked down by his family who didn't make him a member of the board of directors.

"He said I must be pure of heart. He call himself a wizard. He even dressed like a wizard from Harry Potter or some…" The voice replied.

A doctor woman, by the name of Katie Vain, was walking & seen on the TV. After a recent interview and watching the video the woman recorded.

"But you're saying that other people have experienced this?" The woman asked in concern.

"In a sense, yes. Do you remember what he said to you?" Katie asked in concern.

"He tested me. There were these statues. Their eyes, it's like they were looking at me, making me think things. Horrible things." The woman replied.

"And do these approximate what you saw?" Katie asked in concern, as she turned around & pointed.

The woman looked at Rock of Eternity.

"Yes, that's exactly how I remember it. I don't understand. How do you know…" The woman replied.

"Recurrent imagery has proven very common in cases of mass hysteria." Katie replied.

"Mass hysteria?" The woman asked in concern.

"I know. The term's a bit theatrical. But take UFO sightings, for in the sky, flying saucers. Isolated incidents of people who do not know each other-" Katie replied.

"The symbols." The man replied.

Katie turned around & and the woman looked at him, Magic 8 Ball to his left hand.

A doctor man, by the name of Daniel Mean, Daniel was adult when the past to 1980 to Daniel is young, after being rejected by the power of the Wizard and due to him being talked down to by his father and brother most of his life.

"Ask her about the symbols." Daniel replied.

Katie turned around to her.

"Sorry, Ms. Earin. But as an example of recurrent imagery, maybe you'll recall seeing these symbols before the alleged abduction." Katie replied, as she finally cracked the code.

"I don't remember any symbols, no." Ms. Earin replied, as she nodded no.

Daniel looked down & looked at Rock of Eternity

"I think I got it on video. There was something, um…" Ms. Earin replied.

Daniel turned his head to the Ms. Earin.

"I remember the numbers on my alarm clock. They kept shifting." Ms. Earin replied.

"Video?" Daniel asked in concern.

Katie turned around and Ms. Earin looked at Daniel, he stood up & walked.

"Show me the video." Daniel replied.

"Uh, Ms. Earin, this is Dr. Mean." Katie replied, as she turned to Daniel.

"Um, one moment, I can send it." Ms. Earin replied.

*KEYBOARD CLACKS*

*RUMBLING*

"Hello? Oh, my god!" Ms. Earin on video shocked.

The door was light and bright.

"Who's there?" Ms. Earin on video asked in concern.

The symbols' appearance on her alarm clock seven times.

Daniel looked Ms. Earin on video.

"Hello? What's going on? What's happening?" Ms. Earin on video asked in concern.

Daniel looked at the symbols' appearance on her alarm clock seven times.

"I'm going to call the police!" Ms. Earin on video replied.

Daniel finally cracked the code.

"Then this blinding light all around me and I felt like I was getting pulled down into something." The girl replied.

"It felt like a temple carved inside a mountain." The man replied.

"He looked exactly what you'd expect from a guy who calls himself a wizard." The woman 2 replied.

"...and how you were brought there to save the world." The man 2 replied.

"Wearing a cape." The man 3 replied.

"And there's no ceiling." The girl 2 replied.

They looked at the video record on the computer from a recent interview and watched the video. Daniel opened the door, he walked. The science interview with them on interview and video on the computer.

"We ran the numbers again… Dr. Mean!" Katie replied.

Katie walked with Daniel, she crashed into his left shoulder.

"I appreciate your enthusiasm, but you're funding my project. And when I'm interviewing, I don't wanna be interrupted." Katie replied.

"Fifty-six recorded abductions. I never saw it." Daniel replied.

Him right hand to the controls.

"Saw what?" Katie asked in concern.

Daniel opened the door, he entered his office, Katie looked at his office, she pulled open the door. Katie in Daniel's office. He pulled the blanket to the door. Katie looked down at the papers on the table. Daniel pulled back the door. Katie looked around.

"Doctor, what is all this?" Katie asked in concern.

"All these years… I was convinced I had the incorrect sequence." Daniel replied.

Katie looked around at all the statues.

"Or perhaps the wrong symbols to open the door." Daniel replied.

Katie looked at all the people's pictures on the wall.

"But on that woman's alarm clock, the seven symbols." Daniel replied

Daniel wrote the symbols on his old door.

"The sequence repeated itself seven times." Daniel replied.

Katie looked at the door.

"That's the difference." Daniel replied.

Katie saw the symbols on his old door.

"Is this some sort of joke?" Katie asked in concern.

"It may seem that way to you because we're not in actuality studying mass hysteria. What all these people have seen, every single one of them, is absolutely real." Daniel replied.

Daniel pointed, Katie & he turned around to the people's pictures on the wall. Daniel dropped the writer & he grabbed Magic 8 ball. He turned around the door.

"An alarm clock malfunctions and your first thought is it's proof of a wizard?" Katie scoffs & asked in concern.

"Hmm." Daniel replied.

"Come on, Dr. Mean. You can't believe any of this is real." Katie replied.

Katie still didn't believe them and went to touch the symbols on the door, which disintegrated her. She turned around and the door was light and bright. Katie gasps. Daniel turned his head to her. Katie looked at her right arm. Katie was groaning & screaming. Daniel looked down at Katie's body & dead.

"Why, yes." Daniel replied.

Katie disintegrated, leaving only her glasses. Daniel looked up at the old door. He looked at the symbols.

"Yes, I do." Daniel replied.

Daniel opened the door, Daniel exhaled sharply, he walked through the door entering the realm, upon arrival, the Wizard questioned who he was and how he got there.

(Later at the Changing Rooms…)

Everyone was washed and getting dressed, to finish for the day… Carrie however was still showering, washing her elegant and feminine body with a bar of soap…

As Carrie continued to shower, she and everyone were unaware, as the lightning bright, slithered up the shower drainpipe, gripping hard onto the tiled surface, despite the flows of shower water…

As the creature looked around, it saw there quite a lot of people within the changing room it had sneaked into, it quickly needed to find a new host to hide in… it could have chosen anyone, but would be spotted too easily… but then it noticed the closet person it could find… Carrie, as well as sensing a strange feeling from her, as it quickly slithered towards her unnoticed…

As the creature was about to latch itself to Carrie, Carrie dropped her bar of soap, panicking from seeing her soap covered in blood, from her first period… But as Carrie noticed the bright lightning like, she gasped loudly…

"Wha-What's happening, what's wrong with-…? Lightning? Oh it's my period…" Carrie said in worry, as she looked down to see blood streaming down her legs with the shower water…

Suddenly, tampons came flying at Carrie as Chris and her friends threw more and more at them, while chanting 'Plug it up' over and over, as Chris recorded them on her phone, Sue saw them, Sue not to laugh at Carrie.

Sue then tried to take Chris's phone, only for Tina and Nicki to push her to the ground, as they continued to laugh and chant at them…

"This is certainly gonna make a great lesbo scene for the internet." Chris chuckled, while still recording, as Carrie tried to help as Miss Desjardin tried to break the overcrowding bullies off Carrie.

Carrie then looked at Chris's phone, but as she concentrated on it, the nucleuses in her right hand suddenly glowed a lightning the bolt, along with Chris's phone battery until…

*Chris's phone explodes into sparks, and falls to the ground*

Chris and her friends and other classmates all gasped or screamed, as her phone just exploded for no reason, or so they thought…

"What the hell is going on here?!" Miss Desjardin roared with anger at everyone, as she got in between the feud.

"They were throwing tampons and chanting at Carrie, and recording it…" Sue said nervously, as Miss Desjardin, looked angrily at Chris and the other classmates.

"Those freaks broke my phone!" Chris growled.

"Get dressed and get out, NOW!" Miss Desjardin growled back, as Chris and the others went and finished getting dressed nervously, while she tended to Carrie.

(Later at Principal Morton's office…)

Miss Desjardin guided Carrie into Principal Morton's office, where he was waiting… The Principal: Henry Morton.

"I'm terribly sorry about Miss Hargensen's incident, girls, can we get you anything?" Principal Morton asked calmly, as Carrie sat down with Miss Desjardin.

"No, thank you, sir." Carrie replied.

"Can you tell us more on why Miss Hargensen and your other classmates would commit something like that? Do take your time, or if you're not comfortable, you don't need to answer." Principal Morton asked calmly in concern.

"Sue said Chris would do anything to hurt Carrie, she's been like that since 6th grade." Miss Desjardin replied.

"I see, I'm afraid I can't do anything about expelling them… but I could suggest 3 days detention, if they refuse, they should have 3 days suspension and Prom Ticket refusal." Principal Morton suggested to Miss Desjardin.

"Agreed." Miss Desjardin agreed.

"I-I'm worried that they may be even worse if that happens…" Carrie said with worry.

"Don't worry Carrie, we'll make sure they don't." Miss Desjardin said calmly to comfort Carrie, as she gently stroked Carrie's arms, causing Carrie to blush slightly, as Principal Morton called their mother…

(Later at Rock of Eternity…)

The Wizard was asleep in the chair. Footsteps approaching, Wizard was labored breathing & wake up, he saw Daniel figured out a way to enter the Rock of Eternity after researching various accounts of people who encountered the Wizard, eventually finding a repeating sequence of symbols from a video.. He was groaning & stood up.

"I've been waiting for this moment for so long… and now here we are. You don't remember me, do you?" Daniel asked in concern.

The Wizard remembered Daniel, Daniel was a child to the past. The Wizard was shocked.

"I remember you. You were a boy. And now you dare intrude in my kingdom." The Wizard replied.

"Do you know what it's like for a child to be you'll never be good enough? No, you don't. What you said to me all those years ago made me realize who I really was. And you know something?" Daniel asked in concern.

Daniel turned to the Eye of Sin. voices whispering.

"I am not pure of heart." Daniel replied, as he turned around.

"The wizard is too weak to stop us." Wrath replied.

Seven Deadly Sins were red eyes. Daniel took the Eye of Sin.

"No! NO!" The Wizard yelled.

Daniel's right hand grabbed the Eye of Sin.

*RUMBLING*

The Wizard looked up and the rocks were dropped.

"You never found your champion." Wrath replied.

Before Daniel took the Eye of Sin, carrying the Seven Deadly Sins within it.

"But we found ours." Wrath replied

Seven Deadly Sins imprisoned in their statue-like state. The sins then broke free from their statue prisons. The Wizard was grunting, his magic stuff warned Seven Deadly Sins. Wrath growled. Wrath pulled him. The Wizard was groaning, he fell to the floor, Seven Deadly Sins were opened, they were smoke.

"You are the true champion." Warth replied.

Daniel looked at the Eye of Sin. The sins entered Daniel's body through the Eye of Sin, which was then jammed into Daniel's right eye. His glasses were broken. The Wizard was panting, stood up & turned around. Daniel was breathing heavily. He got & stood up, his right eye was blue.

"They're using you. You're nothing to them but a means of escape." The Wizard replied.

The Wizard grunted, he attempted to stop Daniel as he cast a lightning bolt from his stuff, but a now mystically empowered. Daniel turns around & his body.

"Through you, they'll spread their poison to everything they touch! Make mankind turn on each other!" The Wizard replied.

Daniel looked at his hand with magic lighting. The Wizard sees Daniel was handed to magic lighting.

"You seek a pure soul, old man, but no one's worthy." Daniel replied.

Daniel merely repelled his attack back at him. The Wizard groaned to the floor. Daniel panting. He blasted the Wizard, knocking him down. During the battle, unbeknownst to him, the container holding the worm broke and he escaped.

(Later…)

Carrie was sitting and waiting by the lockers for her mother to pick her up. Carrie was still sitting with Miss Desjardin & Principal Morton, waiting for their mother.

As Margaret helped Carrie to & Into the car, Carrie noticed Chris angrily, she and the Snerds her phone was destroyed, with her boyfriend: Billy Nolan, while he saw Chris angrily.

"Chris, what is it? Why are you mad at her?" Billy asked in concern.

"My phone was destroyed." Chris replied.

"What?" Billy asked in concern.

"Those freaks broke my phone!" Chris replied.

"Are you sure?" Billy asked in concern.

"Yeah." Chris replied.

"Babe, are you crazy?" Billy asked in concern.

"I'm not crazy!" Chris replied.

"Okay, fine." Billy replied.

Chris is angry with Billy and the Snerds, except for Sue…

As Margaret and Carrie drove off, Miss Desjardin watched them, while still having her suspicions about Margaret… ever since the state had stopped Margaret from Homeschooling Carrie, she had not got on well with anyone in the school… not even the whole town for that matter, as Miss Desjardin walked back into the school…
