carrie white, emma frost

Who: Carrie and Emma Frost
What: Moving out and moving in
Where: England
When: Afternoon, shortly after Carrie's Debut post
Warnings: unlikely

They weren't her clothes, the ones they gave her. A pair of jeans that had 'relaxed' on the label and a fitted t-shirt with a strange Asian design, momma never let her wear any sort of pants, claiming a woman who did so was an 'abomination'..but it was either this or the blue night gown she arrived in. Carrie got dressed, leaving her blonde hair loose over her back, closing her eyes to fight back her mother's voice in her heard.

'You tried to kill me momma.' she thought as she shoved her feet inside a pair of red ( always red) high tops. 'I'm dead to you.'

They let her wait in the waiting room, but she politely declined-she just wanted to wait by herself for a moment. She sat on the bed, a generic King James bible in her lap, but she was only half heartily reading it, switching her gaze to the large clock on the wall every other minute.

'It could be a trick.' said the nagging voice. 'Just want to get your hopes up...promise of a school..for..people like me.' Ms. Frost said she was special..not wicked or evil.

She forced herself to stop worrying as she watched the door, the bible forgotten in her lap.

Carrie

Emma was outside of the girl's room, making some arrangements with a nurse behind a desk. The woman's eyes were somewhat glazed over. Emma could have talked and explained things, but it was simpler and faster to just use her powers to make the people in charge think that Carrie was her daughter. Emma reached into her wallet, pulled out the first card her fingers touched (a Macy's discount card) and handed it to the nurse.

"Mrs... Mitchell?" The nurse asked after staring at the card for a minute, unblinking.

"Ms. Mitchell, if you please," Emma responded with a mild smile on her face.

"Right then, all you need to do is sign the release." The nurse handed Emma a leaf of paper and Emma read it over quickly before signing. "She seems a little... off, that girl." A pause. "You might want to have her see someo-"

"It'll be taken care of," Emma said sharply. "Is that all?"

"Yes, Ms. Mitchell. Your daughter is in room 305."

"Thank you so much, dear."

"You have a good day," the nurse smiled a bit too brightly and then turned away from Emma. Later on, she'd remember this exchange but not Emma's face. Emma was always careful when using her powers.

It was a few steps down the hall to Carrie's room. Emma felt out with her telepathy and sensed the confusion and the hurt. Carrie had powers, possibly was a mutant. She was also damaged. Emma gathered herself before entering the room. It was always difficult seeing how humans could twist mutant children so.

Then she knocked on the door quietly before entering. "Carrie?" Her voice was as soothing as it could be.

Carrie nearly jumped out of her skin when she heard her name-her proper name-being called out. Nerves and confusion making her even more nervous than before.

"Yes..?" She answered, slowly standing up, gripping the bible in one hand and the paper bag with her scant belongs in the other.

The woman in the doorway was beautiful, she seemed so sure of herself in a way that made Carrie feel even shorter than her 5'2 frame.

There was something else. Carrie was surprised that she was able to sense traces of power off of her..even..understanding. The last part confused her even more...the last woman who claimed to help her only turned on her.

'They all turned on me.'

She didn't make a move other than to remain standing, keeping her eyes on the floor.

Carrie looked like a small and frightened child, and Emma guessed her younger than she actually was. Emma's dislike for humans grew slightly at the sight of Carrie. She knew that someone - more than likely, quite a few someones - had done this to her, systematically breaking her down over a prolonged period of time. Pity any of them that showed up in this world. Emma would take some time out of her schedule to meet with them. There'd be more than just angry words if Emma had her way.

"I'm Ms. Frost," Emma spoke slowly, clearly, warmly. "We spoke on the internet. Do you remember?" The girl was confused and upset. Emma didn't want to disorient her anymore than necessary, so she was sure to take things slow with Carrie. "I'm going to take you somewhere safe."

	She nodded. "I remember...I..this isn't a trick? There really is a school..?" She lifted her eyes a little, the barest trace of emotion flickering through her eyes. She frowned. "I don't like being tricked, so tell me now." Her voice rose a little. The table next to her shook, and she had to take a slow, deep breath before it stood still. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"No tricks," Emma said. Her eyes went to the table that was shaking. She didn't look frightened, or even terribly surprised. "I promise. There's a school and it's safe and it's full of special people like us." A pause, "But you must keep in control of your emotions a little longer. We don't want you to hurt anyone accidentally."

Safe..

She thought home would be safe, that all she would have to do was spend a night and day in her closet and she would be safe.

'Jesus meek and mild..they're all going to laugh'

She wanted to be safe, not laughed at. Carrie knew she would do anything to feel safe. She stepped forward a little.

"I'll control them..won't let anything like that happen again." Unless they trick me again, she thought inwardly. There was a flash of blood, fire..students running around trying to escape.

Her mother with a knife.

She wanted to be safe.

All the suppressed emotions coming off of Carrie would certainly give Emma a headache by the end of the day. Emma would deal with it, not daring to complain or make Carrie feel any worse than she already was.

"Good. We can help you control them," Emma said. She took another step forward and held out her hand for Carrie to take. The girl needed contact and a lot of guidance. Emma would see to it that she went to a special wing of the dormitories while she settled in and got her head straight.

	Carrie let the bible fall to the ground, momma would've called it disrespectful, but how many times has Carrie called for help and only gotten punishment. She took Ms. Frost's hand. It felt warm, real, and she felt that this woman really did want to help her. She said nothing, but nodded. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	elitistqueen 2008-07-31 07:08 pm UTC (link)
	Emma's touch was firm but gentle. She gave Carrie a little smile and started to walk. "There's a car waiting for us downstairs," Emma said as they walked through a door and down the hallway toward the elevator. "The drive to the school will take a little while. We'll be able to chat." A pause. "Are you hungry? Maybe we should eat before we take you to Taunton." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

As they stopped infront of the elevator, Carrie's stomach made a faint growl at the mention of food. She hadn't eaten since evening yesterday, before the prom, and when she had woken up, though they had given her something to eat in bed, she was too much in shock to do anything buy pick.

But at the end of the day, Carrie's stomach told her she needed to eat.

"Yes, ma'am, I'm hungry. Taunton? Is that the name of the school?"

The elevator door opened, but she didn't move, rather wanting Ms. Frost to get on first.

	"Taunton Academy," Emma said with a nod. She stepped into the elevator. "I think you might like it there." They waited patiently and before they knew it, they were standing outside. Emma's private car, a driver in the front seat, rolled around. She motioned for Carrie to get in, "Is there something you're craving in particular?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	bloody_carrie 2008-07-31 07:27 pm UTC (link)
	she couldn't help but feel shy as she got in the car, she was so used to walking everywhere. Out of habit, she hunched a little as she sat down in the car, her belongings in her lap. At her question, she considered for a moment. "Not particularly." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Emma leaned forward and spoke directly to her driver, instructing him to go to a restaurant that offered a variety of food and a calm environment.

"Alright," Emma said exhaling quietly as the car began to move. "You can relax, darling. It's going to be okay now." Carrie's body language spoke louder than anything Carrie might have said. She was scared and nervous and looked fairly abused. It broke Emma's heart a little. "You're not the only one with powers, I hope you know." She spoke with a small smile on her lips. "I can do things as well."

	bloody_carrie 2008-07-31 07:35 pm UTC (link)
	She was about to shake her head, that she wouldn't relax until she was certain, but that last part made her stop. "Do things?" 'It's not the devil, momma, it's me. If I concentrate hard enough I can move things.' She looked up at her. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"I personally know quiet a few people who are telekinetic like you." A pause. "That's what it's called when people can move things with their minds."

There was certainty in Emma's eyes, a confidence that came from talking like this to nervous kids who were just developing their powers. "I have my gifts, as well, though it's slightly different from what you can do."

	bloody_carrie 2008-07-31 08:13 pm UTC (link)
	Again she nodded. "That's what I told momma, other people have this same..gift." It was easier to talk to her as she went on. "What can you do?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	elitistqueen 2008-07-31 08:15 pm UTC (link)
	"You were right," Emma said with a little nod, trying to encourage Carrie. "I am a telepath. That means I can read minds and project thoughts. I also have a secondary mutation of turning my body into an organic diamond. It's very useful in a hostile situation." She didn't show her right away for fear of frightening Carrie.

	bloody_carrie 2008-07-31 08:26 pm UTC (link)
	There was an actual smile on Carrie's face. "You're like me then." she paused a moment. "Mutation?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	elitistqueen 2008-07-31 08:30 pm UTC (link)
	Emma returned the smile. "Yes, I'm like you." After a moment, she went on. "Where I'm from, people with powers are called mutants. This is because their powers come from a mutation of their genes." She sighed quietly, "Like you, mutants have been mistreated simply because they're different." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	One of the classes she had to hide from her mother was science class. Her lectures on how Darwin was in hell. "Like Darwin..and evolution." She shook her head. "It wasn't just this time..momma..she was like that before she found out. My powers just got her to stop when she got too bad." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Like evolution," Emma nodded, "Exactly." The girl was bright. Before Emma said anything else, her face darkened slightly at Carrie's words. She could tell just from how Carrie behaved that the abuse had gone on for a while. It was still hard to hear.

"I'm very sorry, Carrie," Emma said. "Your mother shouldn't have treated you like that. You deserved much better." A pause. "We can arrange it so that you talk to someone about everything that happened to you. It might be good for you."

	It wasn't that Carrie enjoyed school, but as nearly every thing in her house was sinful-there wasn't much else to do besides study, pray or sew. She looked out the window. She wasn't very comfortable with talking to people, but.. "Ok" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	elitistqueen 2008-07-31 08:54 pm UTC (link)
	"You don't have to do anything you don't want to, darling," Emma said, noticing Carrie's displeasure immediately. "But it's something you should think about." The car began to slow. "I do believe we're here." Emma glanced out the window. They were situation in front of a little family restaurant, the sort of place Emma never frequented. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	bloody_carrie 2008-07-31 09:11 pm UTC (link)
	"If it helps me from hurting anyone else, I'll try it." She stepped out of the car, looking around. After seeing the strange sights of London, the restaurant was a welcome relief. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	elitistqueen 2008-07-31 09:14 pm UTC (link)
	"Good," was Emma's response. They were seated in a quiet corner, thanks largely to Emma's powers. Once the menus were handed out, Emma told Carrie to order whatever she wanted. Price wasn't an issue. Emma was wealthier than any one person needed to be. "Do you have any questions for me, darling?" Emma asked after a minute. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	bloody_carrie 2008-07-31 09:22 pm UTC (link)
	She looked at the menu, unsure of what to order. "Are you a teacher at this school, or the principle?" Really, she felt nervous talking this much, the tone of her voice indicating this is the most she's talked in a while. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	elitistqueen 2008-07-31 09:23 pm UTC (link)
	"I used to teach. Now I'm something of a headmistress." Some days, Emma really missed Dumbledore. He'd been a good headmaster. He'd had plenty of experience. Most importantly, he'd been in charge and Emma had been allowed to teach. She missed it some days. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Headmistress..so, you're basically the principle? She seems to be a better one than the head of her high school-he couldn't even get her first name right. She ordered a coke and settled on the special for the day. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	elitistqueen 2008-07-31 09:30 pm UTC (link)
	"Basically, yes." Emma smiled. When it came her turn to order, she got a water and a salad. The food here wasn't much to her liking. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	bloody_carrie 2008-07-31 09:40 pm UTC (link)
	Carrie wasn't used to going out to eat, she could count on one hand the number of times she did. "..how..how'd you find out about your powers?" (Reply to this) (Parent)
