The Weird Girl From Shadyside | Ziggy Berman

Chapter 1

TW: you're a Goode

----------------------

Ziggy Berman was running in the woods. Sheila and her group of friends were chasing Ziggy. As she was running she hit her head on something, making her fall to the floor. She opened her eyes to see Sheila and her friends standing over her.

"You're gonna hang, witch." Sheila said.

Sheila's friends tied Ziggy's wrists and dragged her over to the hanging tree.

"Before the witch's final breath, she found a way to cheat her death. By cutting off her wicked hand, she kept her grip upon our land! She reaches from beyond the grave, to make good men her evil slaves. She'll take your blood, she'll take your head, she'll follow you until you're dead."

Ziggy grunted as they threw her to the ground.

"String her up." Sheila ordered.

"No, stop it! Stop it! Stop." Ziggy pleaded.

Will tied the rope to the tree.

"Let me down, you shits! Let me down!" Ziggy yelled.

Sheila stepped closer to her and took some money out of her pocket. "Well, well. What do we have here?"

"Goddamn thief!" Will insulted.

"No. No, she's no thief. She's possessed by the witch. That's the only way to explain her psycho behavior."

"Fuck you!" Ziggy elbowed Sheila in the face. "Guess we're even now."

Sheila got all up in her face. "You do know what they did to Sarah Fier, right? They hanged her, on this very tree. But she would have died forever if you did what you always do to witches... You burn them." Sheila turned to Will. "Give me your lighter!"

"What?"

"Give it to me!" Sheila went over and took the lighter from Will. "Now, hold her legs."

"Seriously, Sheila?" One of the girls asked.

"Do it!" Sheila ordered.

Will and another girl went over and held Ziggy's legs.

"No, no, no! Stop it! Stop! Stop! Stop! Stop!" Ziggy begged.

"Shut up, you witch." Sheila insulted.

"Sheila! You made your point." Another girl tried to stop her.

"Don't! Don't!"

"Sheila, it was only ten bucks." Will said.

Sheila stepped over to Ziggy and flicked the lighter on. Sheila's friends tried to protest but she ignored them. Sheila held the lighter to Ziggy's arm, giving her a small burn. The sound of a whistle made Sheila pull the lighter away from Ziggy. Sheila turned around to see Nick, y/n, and Kurt running over to them.

"Shit! Will, it's your brother and sister."

"The hell is this? Let her down!" y/n yelled.

Will let go of Ziggy's legs and stood up. "Nick, y/n, I can explain."

"Let her down, Will! I swear to God I'll tell Mom!" Nick threatened.

Will let Ziggy down from the tree as y/n, Nick, and Kurt made it over to the tree. Kurt lined them all up and paced back and forth as Sheila explained why they hung Ziggy.

"I went back to my cabin, the door was open. The next thing I know all my money was gone and Ziggy was sprinting away."

"Because you were chasing me." Ziggy butt in.
