"Mrs barry" ella exclaimed

"Oh my, my, my what a disgrace!" mrs barry said "A girl fighting like this!"

"We are really so-wait! A girl? What about him! I am sorry mrs barry but if you really want to blame for ruining our house then blame both of us not just me! I am a girl and I can fight, what's wrong in that? Now I'll tell you whats wrong, what's wrong is your thinking. I would kindly ask you to change it or leave our house"

"Are you speaking back to me?"

"Do you say that to your husband when he not so kindly asks you to keep your nose out of his buisness?" ella continued

"You have n-no buisness in t-that" she said 

"Yeah? So you have no buisness in keeping our house cleaned or us, two siblings, one of them a GIRL fighting in her own house" ella said smiling.

"Where's your mother?"

"She's out, at marilla's house"

"Ok, Please kindly tell her that I visited"

"Will do" ella said trying to finish the conversation as soon as she could.

"Well I'll be off  then"

"Please be" she whispered to herself

"Did you say something?"

"Oh no I just said, please do.....take care!"

"I see" mrs barry said and exited the house. Once she left, ella sank into the couch and then said

"That women's goal is to bury me alive" 

"I would love to see that happen" james said 

"Oh shut it" ella snapped.

Time skips

It was time to sleep. Everyone left the dinner table and headed for their beds. Ella was only woken up at the sound of shouts and gasps. The sound of a bell was ringing in her ears. Suddenly, her mother burst into her room. 

"Ella! Wake up and put your shoes, fetch some buckets and fill them with water and come downstairs"

"Mother is there a-a-a fire in-in town....?" ella stuttered. she had a past of course.

"Yes, now come on please"

Ella hurried downstairs and fetched some buckets and ella and her mother reached the house. James and her father were already up helping, because apparently men needed to be left at work while women stared because their too 'weak'.

"Ella! Anne!" Diana screamed.

"Oh diana, I have missed you so much!" anne screamed. Well of course in school ella's dumb best friend, gilbert blythe tried to get anne's attention and in return she whacked him over his head. Ella honestly thought he deserved it. Anne was already pretty insecure about her red hair and calling her 'carrots' doesn't really help now does it? Anyways anne ran out of the school and hadnt been back for a while now.
