Firestarter 2: Rekindled Page #10

- Why are you doing this?

- For you, of course.

I want to set you free.

- You're going to hurt all these people.

- Hurt them? No.

I'm going to kill them.

But you could stop me.

N-no.

No.

Charlie? Charlie, where are you going?

- I have to get outta here.

- You have to do something.

What do you want me to do? Burn down

the town? That's what's gonna happen.

Hey. Are you lost?

Where's your parents?

What do you say we come over here

and sit down? And I'll go look for 'em.

All right? Now, don't move.

You can't go. You're the only one

who can stop them.

I won't stop.

Don't you see? It's what he wants.

- Then I've gotta do somethin'.

- Vincent.

I have to try.

- You're talking about a massacre.

- Yes.

Something to make the world

sit up and pay attention.

Cody will absorb all of Charlie's power.

And then what?

Joel, do you believe

in transubstantiation?

Where man can become God?

You're nuts.

- I'm pulling the plug.

- It's too late to develop a conscience.

Who said anything about that?

This is self-preservation.

It's too late for that too.

(piercing scream)

You're blind. Now walk.

(honk)

Back up, folks! Let's move!

Get outta here! Move!

You can't stand.

Come on, son. Come with me.

(screaming)

Wanna see your spleen?

Cos I can show it to you.

No!

- No!

- Let go! Let go of me! Put me down!

- You gotta stop! You're killing them.

- I don't care!

John is still alive.

You know what you have to do, right?

You have to go back.

You have to go back.

Let him go.

Now, you pick up that piece of glass.

Hold it to your throat.

That's enough.

I know you think Rainbird

is your friend, but he's not.

He lies. He hurt me and he'll hurt you.

- No, he won't.

- He's hurting you right now.

Every time you use your powers,

you become less human, and he knows it.

- You're lying. She's lying!

- No!

Ask him. Is she lying?

No.

- I tried.

- You did the right thing.

And I don't wanna run away any more.

The rules haven't changed, Charlie.

You know what you have to do.

- Don't listen to him, Charlie.

- You can taste it, can't you?

Like sulphur on your tongue.

You don't know what you're asking.

It's what you are, isn't it?

It's what you've always been.

Just let it happen.

It's not like I'm giving you a choice.

No!

No! No!

Charl... Charlie.

Yes. Yes!

That's my girl.

All my life I've been looking for God.

- You want a god to forgive you?

- No, for a god to damn me.

The closest I've ever come, Charlie,

is in your eyes.

Look closer.

You know what I can do.

You have no idea what I can do.

Yes, I do, and I want it.

You don't want this.

I want everything.

More! Give me everything.

Aaargh!

I think they were...

I was in the third grade and...

there was this kid

who used to beat me up.

Vincent made him stop because

it was his job to beat me up.

And the time that Vincent

tried to sell you to the neighbours?

I guess they didn't offer enough.

I guess not.

- Can I help you?

- I'm a friend of Vincent's.

My name is, uh... Charlie McGee.

I just came to tell you how sorry I am.

And that you should know that Vincent

was going to come and see you.

But he didn't.

But he was going to.

Well, that's all I really came to say.

Excuse me. Charlie.

How did you know my son?

Well, he helped me out. A lot.

He sort of helped me

trust people again, I guess.

You should be really proud of him.

Thank you for coming.
