Watching Stephen Kings' Carrie
By: FunahoMisaki
(A/N: I own nothing and what if the week before the prom a DVD was sent to Chamberlin High that they were supposed to watch in order to try and advert a major disaster? What if Desjardin and Carrie were closer than they were in the movies? What if Carrie's home life was worse than it appeared and how will everyone react? AU OOC-somewhat and of course there's going to be a femslash pairing.)
"Attention everyone! Attention everyone! I'm sure you're all wondering why I called this emergency assembly." Principal Morton said into the microphone and causing the whispers from the students and teachers to quite down as they all looked at him.
"Earlier today I found a DVD and a note on my desk. The note read that we are all to watch the DVD together in order to try and advert a…catastrophe of some sort. So that's what we will be doing. Watching the DVD. I'll give you all a moment to sit with your friends and peers and then we'll start." Morton said causing whispering and muttering to break out even more while everyone was confused but moved to sit with their friends. Desjardin immediately got up from her seat next to the other teachers and walked over to sit by Carrie, giving the girl a comforting smile while everyone merely watched in confusion. They didn't know the two were friends.
"Everyone settled? Good. Now let's start the movie." Morton said after about three more minutes of everyone moving or shuffling around as he turned on the projector and started the movie.
The screen showed a normal looking blue house before a brief sound of screaming was heard as the screen moved further and further into the house.
"What's so special about that house?" Chris asked with a slight sneer to her voice as she sat next to her clique and boyfriend. No one but Sue and her boyfriend Tommy noticed Desjardin looking at Carrie worriedly while Carrie looked shocked at the sight of the house.
"Help me!" A woman was heard yelling while the screen showed a door built into the stairway.
Carrie paled at the sight of the door and started to shiver a little, causing Desjardin, Sue, and Tommy to look worried while Desjardin wrapped a comforting arm around the girls shoulders in a half-hug.
Now the screen moved up the stairs, showing a bible covered in blood that was very familiar to most of the adults and students.
"Oh great. This is about Creepy Carrie." Chris moaned causing Desjardin's eyes to snap to her with a small snarl on her lips.
"Name calling is not tolerated! Detention Ms. Hargensen!" Desjardin snapped before the other teachers could even open their mouths. Chris looked ready to argue, and she probably would have too, if it weren't for the glare Desjardin was giving her.
There was muttering heard as the screen moved up the stairs and into a room before a loud scream was heard as the screen showed Margate White in a night gown soaked with blood.
"Please tell me that isn't what I think it is." Tommy moaned looking pale at the sight of the woman screaming in pain, causing his girlfriend to roll her eyes.
"She's giving birth if that's what you think it is." Sue said causing all males in the gym to pale and shiver slightly in terror, which caused most of the females to either snicker or roll their eyes.
"Help me lord. What is this? Cancer?" Margaret asked herself before she screamed in pain again.
"Cancer? Really?" Tina asked with a snicker of amusement, although it didn't sound nice. It sounded mean in fact.
Margaret screamed as she thrashed around on the bed slightly before saying something about 'heavenly grace protect me and guide me in my hour of death' before screaming again.
"Dramatic much?" Chris asked spitefully, causing almost everyone to stare at her while Tommy muttered 'hypocrite much' under his breath.
Margaret stopped screaming suddenly and just laid there as something wiggled underneath her nightgown. She slowly began to pull her nightgown back and looked in shocked horror at the sight of a small blood covered baby.
Carrie looked surprised. Her mama had always said that she had found Carrie in her bed one day while waking up.
"It's a test." Margaret slowly said as she stared at the baby shocked.
"What's she blabbering about?" Desjardin asked frowning in confusion as everyone stared at the screen confused as well.
"Cut it down. Cut it down." Margaret said shaking her head to the side as she stared at her child.
"Cut it down!? That's a baby not a dog and definitely not an 'it'!" Desjardin said torn between shocked and horrified as she held Carrie tightly while everyones' eyes widened, darting between a confused Carrie and the screen in alarm.
Margaret leaned over to her nightstand and drew a pair of scissors out of the top drawer, opening them and holding them up like knives as she looked at the baby. One hand reached down and held the now squirming and gurgling baby still while the other held the scissors poised.
Everyones looked horrified as they realized what she was about to do while Carries eyes widened in shock at the sight of her mother on the screen.
Margaret stabbed the scissors down towards the baby.
"M-Mama?" Carrie asked in horrified shock as she stared at the screen, causing everyone to flinch at the horror and sadness in her voice as tears welled up in her eyes. Carrie knew her mother didn't like her a whole lot but…she always thought her mama loved her enough not to kill her.
"That bitch is DEAD when I next see her!" Desjardin screamed ferally as she held Carrie tightly and glared at the screen. Tommy caught sight of Carries tears before the girl burrowed her head into Desjardin's shoulder and sighed before nodding to his girlfriend. He'd ask Carrie out to the Prom.
"Shh it's okay Carrie. She didn't do it did she? You're right here safe in my arms." Desjardin whispered soothingly as she tried to quietly comfort the distraught teen, pushing her rage at Margaret to the side in favor of comforting the quietly sobbing girl. Everyone began to feel bad about how they treated Carrie. They never would have done it if they knew she was almost killed as a newborn! Even Chris wasn't that cruel!
For her part Carrie merely sobbed quietly into Desjardin's shoulder. Now there was no one she could trust at all. Well…that wasn't completely true.
She could trust Ms. Desjardin…but she was the only one Carrie trusted anymore.
