Chapter 6 The she devil.
Carrie walked inside the house.
The teenagers and adults look at the interieur of Carrie's house. It was full of figures, paintings or other stuff about Jesus.
"Holy shit, Where is the TV?" Asks Jessica Upshaw as Carrie looks at her with a shy smile.
"We don't have a TV." She replied as All the students look at Carrie with horror.
"Why not? Your not that poor, Are you?" Asks Jessica Upshaw as Carrie shakes her head.
"Mama says its from the Devil".
"Your mother doesn't allow any electronics in your house, Carrie?" Asks Mrs Snell. Carrie shakes her head at the question, like she is embarrassed to admit it.
"No wonder you spend so much time in the library..." Think many of the students while the movie continues.
A sound is coming from upstairs and Carrie walks to the stairs. When Carrie is upstairs, she walks to a room. In the room is Margaret White bumping her head against the wall.
"Is she hurting herself because Carrie got her first period". Whispers Mr Frogg to Miss Martina, the Spanish teacher.
"I think so". She answers back, Disgusted with the womans behavior.
Margaret: Oh God, help my child, she is lost.
"She is lost!?". Screams the female population.
Carrie: Mama, stop it. Mama!
Margaret stops bumping her head against the wall and looks at Carrie.
Carrie: I dont want to upset you.
"Carrie, stop apologizing, It's not your fault that you got your first period and that Margaret is overreacting." Overreacting was maybe the wrong word for what the woman was doing, but at the moment they did not have anything nicer to say to her distraught daughter. The girl in question looks a bit better, but stil incredible scared for what they may end up seeing.
Margaret: So, you're a woman now…And god made Eve from the rib of Adam; And what ,Carrie? Say it.
Carrie: No Mama.
Margaret: Say it.
Carrie: Talk to me, Please just talk to me.
People were starting to dull there nails in their chairs. Carrie was in clear need of comfort and Margareth was forcing her daughter to say things out of the Bible. Their patience for Margaret was running out.
Margaret: And Eve was weak.
Carrie: I just want you to talk to me.
Margaret: And the first sin was the sin of intercourse.
Carrie: And the first sin was the sin of intercourse. Why didn't you tell me, Mama?
Margaret: And god visited Eve with a curse. And the curse was a curse of blood.
Carrie: I'm not going to say that. That's not even in the Bible. It doesn't say that anywhere.
"Yeah, alright Carrie! Tell her!". people were cheering.
Margaret: Oh Lord. Help this little girl see the sin of her days and ways.
Show her that if she had remained innocent, the curse of blood would not have come upon her as it did on Eve.
Carrie: I'm not Eve, Mama. I didn't sin.
Margaret: You showered with those other girls. You had lust-filled thoughts.
Heather Shrys could not help but snort. "Congratulations, that is only almost the entire population of Ewen High."
People could not help but laugh, Carrie included.
Carrie: Everyone has to shower, Mama. Everyone. That's just the rules.
Margaret: You must be different, because He can see you.
Carrie: I don't want to be different, Mama. I want to be like them.
The teenagers and adults were looking with surprise at Carrie. This was the first time they had heard her saying something like that. Her actions spoke otherwise though. Why would she dress like that if she wanted to be like the rest? Suddenly, a idea went off in their heads.
"Carrie, has Margaret been forcing you to do things you don't want to do?" Asked Mr Holt. The girl in question refused to meet their faces or answer the question.
Margaret: He can smell the sin on you. And he will punish you.
Margaret takes her Bible and slaps Carrie with it in the face. Hard.
There was completly silence in the room. Their eyes turned to Carrie, who Rita was holding extra hard. Rita who had become paler during the screening looked like she had aged ten years, while Carrie looked like she could not believe what she was seeing. Before Carrie could say something, anything to rebufe things, Rita pulled the sleeve of Carrie's wrist. The crowd took a deep breath when they saw the bruses on her wrist.
"Carrie..." Before anyone could say or do something Carrie escaped from Rita and was running to the door. But before she was there, she was stopped by some parents and teachers. Carrie started screaming and moving, but the adults refused to let her go holding her tight. After a few seconds, Carrie didn't try to escape and became quiet. Henry and Rita were walking to Carrie with some adults and teachers behind them. The moment Carrie noticed Ms. Desjardin, she looked to the ground
"Carrie, please look at me". Carrie looked like she hadn't heard Rita and continued looking at the floor. Rita couldn't stand that and gave Carrie a hug. Carrie became stiff, but relaxed after a few moments. Everyone was looking at her with expressions of deep sorrow and hatred towards Margaret.
"Ms White, when this scene is done we are going to the office and talk about this". Said Principal Henry. When he tried to comfort her, she pulled closer to Rita. Rita gave Henry a shake with her head and moved with Carrie back into their seats.
Margaret: I will not let that come down upon you. I will not. Lord have mercy.
Carrie: No, the Lord is good. His unfailling love endures forever, and his faithfulness continues through all generations. Psalms 100, verse 5.
Margaret: I'm going to keep you away from that school.
"She can't do that". Said Mr Frogg.
Carrie: You can't.
Carrie panicks and walks away, downstairs. Margaret follows her down the stairs.
Margaret: We'll pray. We'll pray together. To save our women-weak, wicked, sinning souls.
Carrie: You didn't tell me and they didn't sin, you sinned.
Margareth gets a stoick look on her face while looking at Carrie. Carrie starts looking at her mother with fear and gulps.
Margaret: I did not. I did not sin. Go to your closet.
People look confused about what Margaret says, but Rita turns slightly green.
She remembers the terrified look Carrie had in the first scene of this movie and had connected the dots.
Carrie: No, Mama.
Margaret opens the door next to her.
Margaret: Go to your closet and pray.
Margaret graps Carrie and drags her to the closet.
Carrie: No. No! No! Get off me…mama, stop it!
Some people in the crowd could not help it and began to cry. It hurt so much to see Margaret hurting her daughter, who faught tooth and nail to escape from her mothers grip.
Margaret: Go to your closet and pray for forgiveness.
Carrie: No!
Margaret: You pray.
Carrie: Mama! Help! No, Mommy!
The tears and shouts become worse. They knew Carrie isn't going to win this and they have to listen to her pleas to Margaret to let her go.
Margaret: Come on.
Carrie: Please! Help!
Margaret throws Carrie in the closet and closes it.
Carrie becomes stiff and Rita holds her this movie is done she is going to kill Margaret .How does that woman dare to hurt her own daughter?
Margaret: You pray, little girl. Pray for forgiveness.
Carrie: Mommy, let me go! Let me out! Mom!
Margaret starts hurting herself while keeping the closet shut.
The adults notice the scars on Margaret's upperarm. With a sick feeling they understood that Margaret had done that before.
Carrie: God, you son of a...!
A thin line appairs in the door of the closet.
Everyone sees this, but is still too shocked to react on it.
Margaret looks above her and starts praying. The screen moves to Carrie who is locked in the closet. Carrie looks around her and her eyes land on a Jesus figure. Carrie starts to pray, but suddenly the Jesus figure starts to bleed. Carrie tries again to pray, but she stops with it and starts crying.
Carrie: Help me. Help me.
When the screen turned black Principal Henry walks to Carrie with the school Nurse, Ms Drew, Mr Frogg, Mrs Martina, Mr Snell, Mrs Watson and Mrs Holt and gives Carrie a sighn to follow them. Rita pulls Carrie gently and then stands up herself. Hoping that the girl would not try to escape again. She takes Carrie's hand and walks with Carrie to the adults. They gave Carrie a warm smile, in the hope she will calm down a bit. Carrie and Rita walk with the rest of the group to the hall of the school. When no one can see the group anymore, all Hell breaks loose.
