Episode One: Bitten
"Sir...I...I don't think my Momma would like it to much..." Carrie admitted with her hands nervously squeezed together feeling her heart racing at out her chest. "Miss White...as you probably know we've had a lot of problems with your mother in the past; but we can't just let you skip out on this assessment it's mandatory in order for you to pass your year of school young lady." Principle Morton insisted holding her blank permission slip in his hands. "Look Carrie...I know that...due to your personal beliefs Carrie it's hard to get through this but...are job's here isn't too change your faith it's too help you get the credits necessary for you and you're future." Morton continued.
"It's not that I...Momma told me...that I'm not to go on this field trip...she was very...to the point Sir." Carrie replied still feeling the numbness of her jaw. "And you know we can't let you stay here and fail this assessment." Morton took a large breath before contemplating what to do about this headbanging situation. "Okay Carrie...how bout this...I'll sign your slip...and I'll promise that I or any of the other teachers will not say a word of it to your mother...deal?" Morton suggested hearing the last bus pull up outside.
Carrie twitched in her seat uncomfortable about lying to her mother. But she had no choice, she hesitantly agreed to Morton's terms and he quickly signed off on her permission slip. "Now if anybody ask...just tell them I adopted you..." Morton joked handing Carrie back her slip with a wink and a friendly smile. "Thank you sir..." Carrie replied with a shy grin. "Better get going, last bus is filling up now Miss White." Morton replied adjusting his glasses with a goofy grin of his own.
Later That Day
"OKAY GUYS LISTEN UP!" Mr Ullman called out graving the attention of his impatient classroom. "So before we head in to the building just remember...this is a very well respected...highly expensive...facility...it coast the school a small fortune to send you bunch here, as a matter of fact we are the only school in the whole of Maine, who was fortunate enough to able to come here...don't be jackass's, now lets go." Mr Ullman said causing few of boys in the large crowd of students to burst out laughing.
Carrie as usual was trailing behind the rest of the group as the made it into the facility, she gripped tightly to her bag scraps not daring to let go as she could already practically fell the hate filled eyes staring at her. "Genetically Enhanced Insects is The First Step into Creating The Next Phase of Human Evolution." A young women wearing a white lab coat announced to the large group of teenagers as they became entranced by the amazing wonders of this futuristic like building. "Through genetic splicing and massive amounts of radiation directed towards the creature cells. We are able to basically create a new breed of it's respective kind...faster, more agile, sometimes even stronger."
Carrie wondered around the facility looking at all the various experiments and disgusting looking insects, a part of her was a little happy she decided to come. "Find anything cool looking?" Tommy Ross asked startling the shy girl. "...I, ah..." Carrie began to freeze up a little. "Hey can I...show you something?" Tommy asked resting his hand against Carrie's shoulder. Carrie tried to come up some words but, being so close to Tommy was, intoxicating.
"Check this out..." Tommy said pointing to a small container to the side. Inside it was a dead triangular, and a small, strangely colored red and blue house spider crawling against the glass. "That little spider...just killed that big guy right there." Tommy said turning Carrie's expression from disgusted to amazed. "Wha...but how?" Carrie asked inspecting it closer.
"The magic of science I guess...or that spider must juice a lot?" Tommy replied making chuckle a little. "Hey ah Carrie...if been...kinda waiting for this day...you know when I'm, away from the guys...and you know your finally in a public place where I can actually talk to you..." Tommy said making the much shorter girl a little nervous.
"Look I was jus-" Tommy was suddenly knocked in the back of the head by a football, admittedly making Carrie laugh a little. "Oh sorry Ross...my aim is all messed up." One the giggling jokey's taunted with a large grin on his face. Tommy looked back to Carrie with some embarrassment on his expression. "Ah...I'ma deal with these jerks...and ah...maybe we can...talk later?" Tommy asked with puppy dog eyes that warmed Carries heart. "Um...sure...Tommy..." Carrie replied making Tommy smile his famous smile.
He began chasing after his fellow jokey's down the facility as Carrie watched on in stupefied amazement. However was soon snap out of her trance as she suddenly heard the sound of glass breaking causing her heart to jump. She looked around to see that the area she was in was pretty much isolated. "He-Hello?" She called out before noticing another glass container that was completely empty. She looked a little closer and fleet herself stepping on shards of glass.
There was a small hole in the middle of the glass container, it was like a bullet had passed though it or something. Carrie was confused for a second until out of no where. "AAHHH!" Carrie let out a blood curdling scream as some kind of creature had bit into the vain of her hand. She dropped to her knees and inspected the wound. She was bleeding a little but nothing serious. Carrie sucked her wound clean and in the corner of her eye noticed a small house spider crawling along the floor, with a strangely colored red and blue body.
"CARRIE!"
Mr Ullman called out rushing to her aid, "What happened are you okay?" Carrie started to feel a little dizzy and sickly, and her head began to ache like crazy. "Carrie come on, come on stay with us Carrie..." Everything went black and her body started to tingle uncontrollably. Her body felt like it was burning from the inside and she was sweating intensely. "Carrie come on, Get Some Help, NOW GO...Carrie Stay With Us..."
"CARRIE WAKE UP...What The Hell Happened To You?"
