Chapter 8-Break It, Pass It, Plan It

Ella stood there with a horrified face as she saw Fredrick snap her broomstick in half. "If your not going to listen you Miranda and I you will be punished." He growled.

Tears streamed down Ella's face as he handed her the broken broomstick. "Next time, get home earlier to make us dinner!" Fredrick said marching away.

Ella couldn't believe what just happened. Her new broomstick, the best gift (and the only gift she ever got) was broken because she was late home. She let our a sob and ran out of the house into the night crying her eyes out.

...

"I'm so so so sorry! It was all my fault! I was home late and-."

"Take it easy, kid. I can fix it. It wasn't your fault, it was guardians. Now stop crying your going to flood the place" Iggy said taking the broomstick from her shaky hands. Ella wiped the tears from her eyes and said, "really? You can fix it?"

Iggy nodded. "Yah. It might take some time though." Ella nodded and said, "well I better get going to school. I'll see you later."

Ella left for school only find out her broom flying test would be at the end of the week. And what was bad was her guardians had to come and watch for her to pass. She groaned and started to think how she could get them to come.

She could bribe them or threaten to give there brains to Jasper and his brothers. Ella had to get them to come. It was her goal to pass.

As the day started to come to an end Stella and Billy went on and on about how they were going to get the highest scores in the whole class. Ella rolled her eyes already know she is going to cream them.

When the bell rang Ella picked up her books and walked out of the classroom. Just as her hand touched the door to the school Billy pushed her back and said, "I hope you know I'm gonna get a better score on the test coming up."

Ella huffed and said, "sorry, but I'm gonna pass this thing while leaving you in the dust!" Billy growled and followed Ella out of the building all the way to the graveyard. As soon as they were alone he grabbed her and pinned her up to a tree.

"Listen here, witch! I bet my brains I'll beat you. That way if I lose, which won't happen, you'll have something to fill up the empty skull of yours, okay?"

Ella frowned. She wasn't going to lose to him this time. "I highly doubt you'll be able to beat my score, Billy. So I suggest you let me go!"

Billy's nostrils flared up as he punched Ella in the face over and over again. Ella cried as Billy continually hit Ella.

Just then the ground rumbled under Billy as a hand bursted out from the dirty and grabbed his ankle. He screamed and let go as Jalser crawled out from the dirt.

"Zombie!" Billy screamed. "Someone help me!"

Jasper moaned and pinned Billy up to the tree. Jasper was now face to face with Billy. "L- Leave Ella a-alone forevvvvveeeeerrrr!"Billy quickly nodded his head and said, "I- I promise!"

Jasper groaned and dropped Billy, causing him to run as fast as ever away. He turned to Ella who sat there is shock for a moment as blood cover her face, then she started laughing.

"Ha! Ha! Ha! Did you see his face! It was hilarious!" Ella was laughing hard now as Jasper helped her up with a smile. "Well I don't think he will be bothering you any time soon."

"Hopefully" Ella groaned back in Zombish. Jasper took Ella down to his home and cleaned her cuts up.

As Ella sat on the table giving small cries as Jasper touched some cuts up with a wet rag. While he put a large bandage on Ella's cheek she sighed and said, "is their something wrong with me? Why does everyone hate me?"

Jasper grunted and said, "we don't hate you." Ella nodded and said, "not you guys. Why does everyone at my school pick on me? Why do my guardians hate me?" Jasper sat back unsure how to reply.

"They all think I'm weird. They pick on me for checking out tons of books. They hate me for flying a broom so well. Why?" Ella started to cry. "I want it to all stop. I can't take it anymore!"

Quincey and Iggy walked over and groaned, "Ella, don't be so hard on yourself. People are just like that. It's just life." Ella nodded and sniffed. "I just want it stop though."

Jasper paused and tapped his chin as Axe shuffled over with a tissue for Ella. She took the tissue and blew her nose when Jasper's face lit up. "I have an idea! This is perfect! I know how you can leave all those mean people!"Ella looked up and said, "really? How?"

Jasper smiled and said, "we kill you."
