| Yes, because I am oh so full of issues, ADORED "Carrie" and HATED "The Rage: Carrie 2," I bestowed upon myself the responsibility to write another sequel; "Carrie 3: The Black Dawn" or rather "Carrie: The Black Dawn" since "The Rage" was not a book. No one will say "They're all gonna laugh at you" this time. In fact, it's supposed to be different and the same as the other two at the same time. For the main character, I picked Annie Jenks; a little girl mentioned at the end of the novel "Carrie." Sue Snell comes back. Now, anyone who saw the second Carrie knows Sue died in it. Not true, because guess what... remember how the first movie ended with Sue's dream? The third one begins with it! That piece of crap "Carrie 2" was a DREAM SUE HAD! And I wasted two hours of my life watching that. Anyway, she IS still the school counselor, and one day, as she's driving to work, she nearly runs over a girl on a motorcycle. This is Annie, who moved to Chamberlain with her mother when she found out the aunt she had who lived up there had died years earlier. She's not popular and no one likes her. Her mother hates her because her brother died when she was four and she blames Annie for not being as good as he was. The teachers find her hopeless and creepy, and she's always late. On this day she's late for school, and once the kids see her in homeroom they chant at her to "Go home and DIE!" until a light falls from the ceiling. Here we go again. The teacher leaves the room and tells Sue to cover for her, where she sees Annie, surrounded by jeering classmates, and the rest of the lights blow out one by one. Of course, Sue sees a problem, and pulls Annie into her office; where she is shocked once her computer monitor breaks, conveniently when Annie shouts that no one likes her and no one has EVER liked her. Stunned, Sue attempts to warn the principal, who brushes her off as paranoid and still trying to save Carrie's memory. Annie goes to lunch, sitting alone as all the other seniors prepare for the pep rally, a contest held every year to see who can work together the best and make the scariest skit for Halloween, and of course, the subject is inevitable. Prom night. Sophie Richards and Phylisha Rowland, two of the "popular girls" who were in on telling Annie to go and die, suggest to the punk rocker table they do the fire, and ask who they think should play Carrie White. Brandon Adams, the only person at the table dressed in completely white, because his parents tell him "black is the color of sin" EVEN THOUGH he has black hair, tells them it's a cruel idea and to let it go, but the girls go over and ask Annie to take the title role. Annie gets indignant and throws her books off the lunchroom table with her mind, running to the library, where Brandon follows and attempts to apologize, shocking himself when he realizes... He's falling in love with her. But Brandon's parents would never let him go out with a girl, as they see him as "the raven epitomized." He is adopted and has no idea who his real mother is, but he knows he can't stand his adoptive parents, and begins to pursue Annie as a type of rebelion. It takes her weeks to say yes, but when she does, she turns him into one of his own kind, an eyeliner wearing, messy haired punk rocker, and she becomes a part of his group. But she can't deny her powers, and as things at home get worse, Annie begins to cut herself. And as the blood covers her arm, Carrie appears to her, just in a flash, drenched in blood. She begins to try and warn Annie that her mother WILL turn on her and if she doesn't play her cards right she WILL die. Annie fears she's going insane, as Carrie sends her visions of what happened in the past and has no one to turn to. She tells Sue, and Sue gives her the yearbook from her senior year, where Annie finds... she looks just like Carrie. She tells Brandon, who tells his best friend Michael (shut up, I'm not imaginative!), who looks the White family tree up on the internet. Annie's aunt who lived in Chamberlain is Margaret White, Carrie's mom. Brandon won't tell Annie and takes it into his own hands ho crash the web page. He also finds his birth certificate: he's Sue Snell's son. Carrie's cousin is dating Sue's son. (*dramatic music*) Long story short: Annie tries to consummate her relationship with Brandon; he screams "NO!" Why? Because his adoptive father molests him, and he's terrified of sex, his mother won't believe him when he tells her what he's done, and slaps him for telling lies. But he does end up getting Annie pregnant, to her mother's appall. This is when Margaret comes to HER and says she must sacrifice the baby to save her daughter's soul. She stabs Annie in the stomach, and though she gets to a hospital in time to survive, the baby is lost. Annie goes Carrie on Chamberlain. She takes down the hospital, kills her mother, destroys the house, kills her classmates except for Michael, who runs off to find Brandon (at Sue's house, asking for help, which she says there is none). Brandon takes off and drives through the streets looking for Annie, when Carrie comes to HIM and tells him to make sure Annie lives and he takes care of her. He finds her in front of his house, bringing stones down from the sky and stoning his parents to death. The two teenagers have a telepathic conversation. For some reason Brandon feels now is the time to tell Annie he loves her. They take his car and go to a bridge, where Sue chases after them and tells them to get out, but they drive over the side and the car bursts into flame. Weeks later, Sue gets a call, a whispery voice saying "love you, Momma." Momma was what Brandon called his adoptive mother. She smiles, and Carrie appears to her, no longer covered in blood, but shining and smiling, thanking Sue for what she did for her and telling her how great the prom was before everything happened. And she vanishes, into the afterlife, finally with closure. Somewhere far away, the son of the now-married Annie and Brandon is moving toy cars with his mind. |
