Ellis the Glitch

The Finals

A/N: Hey everyone! So basically, this is picking up from the beginning of the book Codes. I couldn't really think of anything I could write for Glitches.

"Hey Ellis," my friend Diana walks up to where I am sitting in the bleachers before the finals of the Glitchketball tournament start.

"Hi Diana," I smile, and she sits down beside me.

I look with disgust at the court where the Codies and Sloppies are about to start. We Speedies are supposed to be playing the Codies today! But now because of the stupid new Glitch Claire King we were beaten by a dumb team like the Sloppies.

"I really wish we were playing," Diana sighed.

"Me too! It's not fair that the Sloppies get to play because of one person!" I spat.

Diana and I watch the match until one of the regs falls and they have to pause the game.

I start to get frustrated and ready to leave, when I hear a rustling of leaves in the trees behind me. I look there to see a hunched figure beckoning to me with one finger. I turn to tell Diana but the figure shakes its head frantically. I think it wants me to go alone, so I do even though I'm scared.

"I'm going to go get another Coke," I tell Diana. She nods, and I walk down the bleachers, around the court, and into the small patch of trees.

"Hello Ellis," the figure smiles, straightening and walking into the light. I see that it's a girl.

"How do you know my name?" I ask, a bit creeped out.

"I'm an Iceheart. We know everything," she gives me a freaky smile.

"What's an Iceheart? And who are you?" I gulp.

"My name is Siera Valior," she gives me a toothy grin. "And you'll find out soon. If you accept my offer."

"What's your offer?" I ask, suddenly intrigued.

"Revenge on Claire," she snarls. "Meet me here tomorrow at midnight and I'll tell you more."
