Plot
17 years ago at Ralph White's house, it was a stormy night and Ralph (Nick Notle) was looking out the window for his last thunder storm was on the night he took Margaret and left "Carrie" inside her. He felt guilty on some nights and then he took a bottle of whisky from the fridge and drank from it 'till he heard his door bell rang. He walked over and opened it and saw a basket with a baby and a note.


 * Dear Ralph, I meant to tell you before. But I just didn't know how after our divorce. I was pregnant yet I can't look after her now due to some complications. I know she'll be safer with you, so watch over her and protect her. Her name is Rachel. Give her the life she deserves and one day, I may come for her......if things settle down. With love always, Barbara Lang.....*

Ralph: Dear God. *Looks down*

Baby Rachel cried and the bushes moved so fast only it wasn't the wind. It was her powers. Ralph picked up his second new born daughter.

Ralph: *Shh*....there there. It's ok. Daddy's here. Daddy's got you. My dearest Rachel.

~Title sequence~

~17 years later~

Rachel Lang (Odeya Rush) was at school (Sean and Raymond's school) in art class. She and her classmates were painting copies of a statue and some others were snickering at her behind her.

she turned around and they stopped snickering as they looked down.

Rachel: sighs

Lisa (Emma Roberts): Jocks on to you again?

Rachel: Huh? Oh....it's not that big of a problem, Lisa.

Lisa: Are you positive, cause I know you can---

Rachel felt spitballs at the back of her head as she turned around again to see them not looking at her.

Lisa:---get annoyed real easily.

Rachel: Try explaining that to Eric.

Then it cuts to outside the classroom to Eric Stark (Chris Zylka) and Mark Bing (Drake Bell).

Mark and Eric were spray painting something inappropriate about Rachel on the walls by the door

Eric: Hahaha! Boy, that creep's gonna have a bad day when she see's this.

Mark: It'll be a good time for all of us.

They laughed again and soon the school bell rang and they fled when Rachel and Lisa came out. They saw the spray paint and they gasped as everyone who saw laughed at her. Rachel was in between sad and angry and the lockers shook a bit till Lisa covered her face by pulling her to her chest.

Lisa: You sons of....*Walks away with Rachel*

Meanwhile.....

Principal Edwards (Rhys Ifan): How long has this.....fasade been occurring for?

Lisa: I'm not the right person to ask that, with all due respect. All I know is that it's getting worse.

Rachel was just rocking uncharacteristically in the chair, for she couldn't keep her mind focused on anything.

Principal Edwards: Ummmm....Rachel, do you think it's best if you excuse yourself for this brief moment? You look like you need some to time to relax.

Rachel just nodded and was about to walk out the door, but Lisa stopped her.

Lisa: Don't go. Sir, whatever you have to say to me; you can say to her. Rachel can't be alone, not even with those morons out there.

Principal Edwards: *Sighs* As you wish

And they sat back down.

that's when we cut to Ralph at home.

He was still drinking out of the whiskey bottle 'till he got a call from Principal Edwards.

He normally doesn't answer the phone at all, so he was hesitant.

But he picked up.

Ralph: Greetings......

Edwards: Mr. White?

Ralph: Yes.

Edwards: This is Principal Edwards from your daughters school.

Ralph: Carrie?

Edwards: Who?

Ralph: Oh, sorry. Is Rachel ok?

then it cuts to Rachel walking home until a car slowly rolls besides her and honks the horn.

Arnold (Kyle Massey): Hey, Rach! You need a ride?

She turned to see her friend, Armold in the front seat with Jesse Ryan (Logan Lerman) behind the wheel, unbeknownst to Rachel.

She was hesitant, to say the least.

Rachel: I uh...I--I guess....

Once she got in, Jesse kept giving her a smirk. Rachel tries to ignore him and when they go off the road, a van passes them (Desjardin's van from Blood of Redemption)

Arnold: So the boys and I were gonna go to the beach and want to see if you were game.

Rachel: Uhhh....thanks Arnold. But my dad needs me at the house tonight.

Arnold: Awww come on.....you barely get out anymore.

Rachel: Sorry, but it's just curfew.

Arnold: Curfew or not.....

Jesse: Ey, ey, ey......watch it, ok? She hasn't been on the best of terms.

Rachel: Who told you?

Jesse: No one. I've just seen the way the jocks be treating you. It's not really....right.

Arnold: Ahhhhh.....

Jesse: I don't think we've met. I'm Jesse.

Rachel: Rachel.

Soon enough, Rachel was home and she went in from the back.

But even as quiet as she was, Ralph could hear her.

Ralph: Again with those humanitarians???

Rachel: Dad??

Ralph: Your principal called me. He said some kids were spray painting about you. Are you alright?

Rachel: Not really. But I don't wanna talk about it.

Ralph was silent as he held that bottle of whisky in his hands and screams were echoing in his head

Rachel: Dad?

Ralph: Sorry, princess. I guess I ain't myself today.

Rachel nodded and headed up stairs. Ralph later went into the cellar and stepped forward into an alter for God he built when he moved to Florida.

Ralph: Forgive me, Lord. My sin is still haunting me. Not a day goes by where I don't wish I could take back what I've done to Maggie or for leaving Carrie. I ask that you protect Rachel from any sin that will come and from my own.

Ralph kneels down to the alter as Rachel upstairs looks out the window in her room.

Then, without noticing, the window starts to crack.

But luckily, it stopped.

Rachel didn't even realize it was her. She petted her dog Walter and closed the blinds which led to the next scene.

It was the weekend and Rachel was taking Walter for a walk until she spotted Lisa on top of her house, looking like she was ready to fall.

Rachel immediately ran to try and talk Lisa out of it.

Rachel: LISA!!!

Lisa: *Gasps* Rachel.....you scared me.

Rachel: I scared you? You scared me! Why are you gonna jump?!

Lisa: Ju---?? You thought---?? No. Rachel, I wasn't gonna jump. I was only stretching out before I clear the chimney.

Suddenly, Rachel just felt awkward and Walter panted and licked her hand

Rachel: Easy, boy. Sorry. I guess I just....

Lisa: It's alright. Wait there. I'll be right down.

Suddenly, Walter started growling as Eric and Mark were coming and Rachel looked over at them

Mark: Hey, Rach.....um....we heard about the school laughing at ya.....we thought we come by and see if you're cool. *Snickers*

Rachel: What's it to you two?

Mark: Ahhh, you know.....its just.....we the types of people who want to be supportive and stuff.

Rachel wasn't buying it. And she could tell when Eric was texting Lisa from all the way over there.

The more texts she read, the more heartbroken she became. Eventually, she couldn't take it. She re-entered the house and slowly walked out almost in tears.

Seeing this, Mark and Eric just ran off.

Rachel: *Hugs Lisa* What's wrong?!

Lisa: *sniffling* E-ericHe just.....

Rachel: Just NOW?

Lisa: I swear I feel so stupid. He never cared for me?!

If Rachel felt bad enough already for Lisa, what happened later that night would only deepen her desire to get back at Eric and Mark.

She was asleep that night, till she got a call.

Rachel: Hello?

Jesse: Hey, Rach....it's Jesse. We met in Arnold's car?

Rachel: Yeah...how'd you get my number? Did he give it to you?

Jesse: Yeah, but don't blame him. It was my idea. I talked him into it. Look....um....I ran into Eric and Mark earlier and they told me about Lisa. Eric was laughing about it so I socked him a little. Just wanted to check if you guys were cool.

Rachel: I appreciate it. Thanks. I heard those two were your friends.

Jesse: Not after today.

Rachel looked over and saw a shadowy like Carrie (Chloë Grace Moretz) standing at the corner in her prom dress and covered in that pigs blood. She screamed and jumped and it was gone.

Jesse: Rachel? You ok? Rach, you still there?

Rachel: *breathing heavily* I got to go.

She quickly hung up and just sat there rocking, terrified.

The phone rang again except this time, it was a voice mail from Arnold.

All he said was: It's Lisa.....

That's when Rachel snuck out the house to find Lisa and after almost an hour......she found her lying on the windshield of her car.

Rachel: No.....

She immediately ran to her aid, but it was no use.

There was blood everywhere as her head had literally broke on impact.

Rachel: Oh my god.....Lisa....No, no, no......CALL AN AMBULANCE!!!! SOMEBODY HELP!!!!

She didn't have a cell yet, so she couldn't call.

And that.....THAT is when her telekinesis finally kicked in.

It shooked the car as Arnold came there.

Arnold: Rachel! Get away from the car!

He had no idea it was her shaking it, but it stopped when she looked over carrying Lisa with tears. She ran away and Arnold couldn't catch up to her. He then dialed 911 on his cell.

Operator: 911, what's your emergency?

Arnold: I need to report an accident. And a missing person.

Rachel ran deep in the woods knowing her closest friend was gone.

Rachel: *breathing heavily*

Slowly, her sadness turned into anger as she knew who was responsible.

Rachel: *breathing heavily* Lisa......I will.....avenge you......

Then she looks at the screen as her eyes go black.

By now, word has gotten out that Lisa is dead. Yet, the students seem terribly disinterested. Back at school, she decides to do a little research into what led to Lisa's suicide (or murder, as she thinks it is). So since she stayed after school on Wednesdays, she went sneaking around in Eric's locker.

She looked high and low for anything 'till she discovered a photograph of Eric and Lisa and a piece of paper with the names of other jocks. The title was self-explanatory as she saw that each person had a specific number of points for sleeping with girls.

That confirmed her theory that Eric never gave a damn for Lisa.

That was all she needed to send the evidence to the principal and Eric's coach, Walsh (Thomas Haden Church).

But before she could, two detectives came in and Rachel hid in the locker and watched them pass. They came into Principal Edwards office.

Edwards: Can I help you two?

Inspector Walter (David Arquette): Yes I'm Chief Inspector Miles Walter. This is my partner Detective Rink (Sandra Bullock). We've come behalf of Lieutenant Nelson (Idris Elba). We'd like to ask you a couple of questions concerning the accident of one of your missing students.

Detective Helen Rink: And the murder here last night (The first murder in Blood Of Redemption)

Edwards: Uh....very well. Have a seat.

They sat down as Rachel watched from the window on the door.

Detective Rink: Sir, was there any slight events with the students and teachers before the incidents?

Edwards: I'm really not sure. I mean we've had some wild experience over a year ago. One of the students had some problems and almost caused chaos down here till he was killed during a shoot out. (The events with Andrew)

Inspector Walter: And what do you know of this girl? *Hands him a picture of Rachel*

Rachel quickly turned back in shock.

Edwards: Uh....yeah. She goes here.

Chief Inspector Miles: Would you bringing her down her? There's some questions we'd like to ask her.

Without hesitating, that's what he did.

Over intercom: *'''Pardon the interruption. Would Rachel Lang please report to the principals office at this time?'''*

Rachel heard it. But she didn't go.

She went all over the school until she found Coach Walsh and handed him the photograph and piece of paper.

Coach Walsh was always suspicious of Eric and his behavior, but now that suspicion had been confirmed.

Coach Walsh: Ugghh.....

Rachel: I just saw this. He had something to do with Lisa Parkers suicide. I'm sure of that.

Coach Walsh: Look, I'm occupied at the moment. There's no much I can do....except turn this in to the Senior D.A (Morgan Freeman) and let him deal with this.

Then he looked at the paper again and saw Jesses name on the list.

Coach Walsh: The hell? Wasn't expecting Jesse to be on here.

The name made Rachels eyes bulk up.

Rachel: Wait. What?!

Coach Walsh: That's what it says......

Rachel: Why would Jesse be involved? I mean I know he and Eric have history, but....

Coach Walsh: He had some problems awhile back. They say his dad (John Travolta) beat him while he was drunk. Jesse hanged in so many rough crowds; that's why he was with Eric.

Rachel had a suspicious feeling about Jesse. She later was walking to Arnold's house 'till she heard barks. She looks over and her dog Walter was running to her.

Rachel: Walter! Come here, boy!

He jumped on her and licked her face.

Rachel: Good boy. Down now. *Gets up* Come on. We got a friend to visit.

They came at Arnold's and knocked and he answered.

Arnold: Rachel? Where you been? I was worried. Cops are even looking for you.

Rachel: There's no time to explain. Can we talk?

Arnold let her in.

Arnold: So what's chillin'?

Rachel: Be honest, now. Have you noticed anything unusual about Jesse at all?

Arnold: *blows air* In terms of being popular, it wasn't easy. It had something to do with his dad.

Rachel: Drunk?

Arnold: Beyond drunk.....

Jesse: It's none of your business.

They both turned to see Jesse watching them behind the couch.

Jesse: I don't mean to be rude to you both, but I don't wa---

Rachel: Save it. What's the meaning of this? Why is your name on that list?

Both (Arnold, Jesse): What list?

Rachel just scoffed.

She showed it to him as Walter growled at him.

Jesse: Oh....that list. Well; to be honest, It's ancient history mostly though *Crumbles it* like I said, none of your damn business.

Rachel: Did you kill her?

Jesse: Who?

Rachel: LISA!!!!!!!

Jesse: You crazy? She killed herself. I think you're just freaking out cause your close friend died. Life goes on. You just need to chill.

He walked passed her and Walter jumped up and bit his butt.

Jesse: EEEOOOWWWW!!!!!

Rachel: Walter, down!

The dog pulled on his pants and growled as Jesse tried to shake him off

Jesse: GET THIS WRETCHED MUTT....OFF MY ASS!!!!

Rachel: *WALTER, DOWN!*

Without even noticing, Rachel lifted Walter up with her powers and threw him halfway across the room.

Everyone just stayed there in silence.

Arnold: Uhhh....o--thi--this is some Exorcist sh** right here.

Jesse: Wha-- how did you do that?

Rachel: That wasn't me.

Jesse: Rach, stop playin' with me.

Rachel: What makes you so determined that it's me?

Jesse: You JUST killed your dog!

Then the house started to shake.

Arnold: *Steps in between them* Hey, back off!!! If she says she didn't do it, she didn't do it!!!

Jesse took a good long look at Rachel in grief. He turned away in guilt.

Jesse: I'll...um....leave you be.

Jesse left and Arnold looked over at Rachel who was holding her dead dog in tears.

Rachel: *Sobs* Walter, I'm so sorry....*Cries*

Arnold: I--sorry, Rachel.

Rachel hugged him in tears and we later cut to when Arnold digs a hole and Rachel carries her dog's body wrapped in a sheet, crying. They soon bury him and later that night, they were sitting inside and Arnold couldn't help on what just went on.

Arnold: Are you sure you don't know what happened?

Rachel: Maybe I do, but maybe......I'm crazy.

Arnold: Well.....can you at least TRY to do it on purpose to see if it WAS you?

Rachel just sighed and closed her eyes.

She started to focus really hard and soon enough, items started to levitate slowly.

Arnold: Woah woah woah.....

Rachel opened her eyes and turned around to see all the items levitating around them.

Rachel:......I.....

Before she can respond to it, there was a knock at the door.

It was Barbara Lang (Reese Witherspoon), unbeknownst to Rachel.

The objects fell and Arnold answered

Arnold: Can I help you?

Barbara: Hi, my name is Barbara Lang. Are you a friend of Rachel?

Arnold: Lang?

He looked over and saw an open window that Rachel may have escaped from.

It then cuts back to school where Coach Walsh was talking with the Senior D.A about the Eric/Lisa incident.

Senior D.A: Hmmmm......This seems more like a statutory rape then letting someone sleep with them.

Coach Walsh: Personally, I haven't come across something like this ever.

Senior D.A: There's a first for everything.

Coach Walsh: I'll have to talk Eric and Mark about this. I'll have to kick them off the team.

Senior D.A: After this, I'm more interested in charging the two of them, as well as everyone else involved in this. But for now, I'll cover this up from their families due to their.....influence.

Coach Walsh: Just do what you have to do.

Little did they know, Mark was listening to the conversation.....somehow. He knew they were screwed. He was now determined to humiliate Rachel for what she did to Eric.

So he visited Jesses house and saw his father open the door.

Carter (John Travolta): Mark.....

Mark: Sorry to disrupt. Can I talk to Jesse?

So Carter went upstairs and got Jesse.

Jesse went downstairs and as soon as he saw Mark, he almost ran back upstairs.

Mark: Whoa.....Johnny Law, cool your heels. I didn't come here for much.

Jesse: I know that's a lie......

Mark: You mean I can't say I'm sorry?

Jesse: Sorry for what? Y'all know you meant what you did.

Mark: That whole scam on the paper was Eric's plan. All of it. None of it was on me.

Jesse just looked at him.

Mark was about to walk off till Eric slam the door on him

Mark: What the hell?

Eric: Come on now, Jesse. After everything we've been through, you're not gonna bail on us now. We're all in this to the end.

Jesse: Why are you guys doing this? This girl has done nothing to any of you.

Mark: If you want out, feel free. But if you go snitch on us, you're dead. And if SHE snitches, she's dead.

Jesse: You better not.

Eric: Too bad. Too....bad.

Then they both walk out as Jesse slams the door on them.

Jesse: *sighs* What now?

We cut to when Ralph was talking on the phone to the police about his daughter

Ralph: There's people dying out there and you have no idea to whether to find her or the psycho first?! Damn you! *Hangs up*

He was about to go for another bottle for whiskey......that is until.....he looked at his finger where his ring used to be before he was mugged. That's what made him think of that night with Margaret and he soon learned about prom night. He threw the bottle at the wall and it shattered.

Ralph: Oh, Lord. Protect my Rachel....and my Carrie.

Barbara: She won't make it.....and you know that.

Ralph turned around as he saw Barbara and gave her a death look.

Ralph: Why are you here?

Barbara: I told you on the note I'd come for her one day.

Ralph: Took you 17 years. She just lost a friend and she blames herself for this. And there's a psycho killer on the loose. I don't know what to do.

Barbara: Then be a man for once and do something. You can't just expect God will do something quickly. He would want you to save your own daughter.

Ralph: I RAPPED MY FIRST WIFE!!!

Barbara: What....??

Ralph: About 19 years ago....my first wife Margaret and I lived in Maine for 6 years. We both lived under God's name to stay true for him. But one night after work....my colleagues and I went to this bar....I lost myself after 12 glasses of whisky. I came home later and.....I took her in the room.....and after that I....I left....I left my wife there!!! To raise my first child there!!!!! And she lived in fear!!!!! My Carrie lived under abusement of her mom and those nasty children at that school that burnt down!!! Both my wife and daughter died there at the house!!!! *Cries and shouts* How can I be different with Rachel....if I couldn't save my other family?!!!

Barbara: Carrie......Carrie White is your daughter?

Ralph: How do you know that?!!

Barbara: Because she hangs with two boys here. I don't know who they are but she's very much alive

Ralph stood there in silence all stunned

He just paced around until.....

Rachel: Dad?

They both turned around to see Rachel with Arnold at her side.

Ralph: Rachel.....your MOTHER has something to tell you

Arnold: Wha-wha-wha????

Barbara: No.

Ralph: Barbara, 17 years is long enough to hold a heavy burden. He knows it's that time to let this go. It's better this way.

Barbara just sighed heavily.

Barbara and Rachel sat with each other as Ralph and Arnold sat across.

Barbara: Rachel, it's true what your father says I am your mother. But there's something you have to understand. A mad man had harassed me since I was 18. And when I married your father, he was in prison for awhile till he made bail. Your father and I divorced when he came after me again. And when I learned I was pregnant with you, I couldn't let him get you too. So I thought you'd be safer with Ralph.

Rachel: But why haven't I heard from you in years?

Barbara: I didn't want him to know about you. But when I thought it was safe, I came back.

Rachel: *Looks at Ralph* Why didn't you tell me?

Ralph didn't know what to say then Rachel rushed up to her room. Arnold wanted to go after her but Ralph stopped him and went after her in her room.

Ralph: Rach....?

Rachel: *Lying in her bed* Go away.

Ralph: Sweetheart. You're right. I should have told you. And that's why I wanna take you somewhere.

Rachel: Take me where?

Ralph: To learn about your sister.

Rachel looks at him and we cut to later when Ralph and Rachel drove pass a sign, "Welcome to Ewen."

Ralph: This...is where....it all started.

Rachel was stunned to see nothing left of the school.

Rachel: Wow. She was THAT pissed off to burn the whole thing down?

Ralph: The savages here were twice as callous and demented then I was that night when I left her mother. If God could've gave out a sig-

Rachel still couldn't believe what she was being told. She refused to believe it.

Rachel: sighs Why.....why is so difficult for ONE person to be truthful to another one?

Ralph was shocked to her say that.

Rachel: You really didn't think I had to learn of this earlier?

Ralph: You and I both know it was guarante-

Rachel: For WHAT?! You didn't think I would notice this?! *HAVEN'T YOU DONE ENOUGH?!?!!!!*

The ground then cracked completely as Ralph's worst fear had now been confirmed.

More coming soon.....
