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.
