Chapter 20- Ingrid To The Rescue

Ella gulped down the fear as the men walked closer to her, with a shaky hand as they gripped the guns. And fell backwards with panic full eyes.

Just as the second man pointed the gun straight at her a loud grabbed caused him to stop. "DONT YOU DARE TOUCH HER!" They spun around to see Jasper and his brothers with furious looks on their faces.

The first man yelped and pointed his gun at them. They didn't even flitch though. Quincey jumped into the ground, digging his way quickly over to them.

Unaware that Quincey had disappeared, he took a step forward when Quincey's hand shot out of the ground, grasping them mans ankle. He screamed and shot the ground only to be pulled in.

The second man gasped and grabbed Ella's arm, holding the gun up to her head. "Don't move or I'll shoot!" Jasper, Iggy and Axe frowned as the man slowly backed up when Ella frowned and tripped him.

The man tumbled down as Ella tried to break free from his grip. Just to make it better two more men ran towards their direction with loaded guns.

The new men pointed their guns at Jasper and his brothers, not letting anything escape. Ella gasped and yelled, "no! Don't hurt them!" The man who held onto her scowled and said, "shut up, witch!"

He scared Ella. The man looked a lot like the man in the leather jacket who shot Jasper. Actually, all of them did. They all had black, leather jackets and guns.

"Who are you guys?" Ella whimpered. The man said, "were Witch Hunters. We were to make sure you were exterminated so the Witches Curse doesn't happen."

Ella gulped as she squirmed trying to break free. Finally the Witch Hunter sighed and tossed Ella to the ground and kicked her over and over again. "Your a disgusting thing! You deserve to be exterminated."

Ella sobbed as the man kicked her until she couldn't move. Jasper growled and ran towards her as the men began to shoot. Jasper managed to dodged the bullets with his brothers following behind.

Quincey reached his hand out of the ground and grabbed the man ankle, letting Jasper, Iggy and Axe get to Ella. Jasper helped Ella sit up when the man shot Quincey's hand and joined the other two men in surrounding Ella and the boys.

Jasper gulped as the guns were now only a foot from him his brothers and Ella. He squeezed Ella's hand as the men sat their fingers on the triggers, getting ready to shoot.

Ella looked up at the men then quickly stood up with all the bravery she had and blocked the brothers. "Don't you dare touch them!" Then men didn't hesitate. The fired the guns sending multiple bluest through Ella's body.

She gasped her last breath as her small body fell down, in front of Jasper and his brothers. Jasper and his brothers worlds stopped as they watched Ella, the witch, the girl who suffered so much, the one who is brave fall to the ground in a bloody puddle.

Jasper screamed and charged at the men with fury. Avoiding the gruesome picture, those men made a tasty meal to Jasper and his brothers.

After Jasper had finished their men he ran over to Ella and picked up her weak body. "Ella! Ella! Oh no! Not again! Not again!" He put his hands over her wounds with tears in his eye. "Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh! Ella's losing a lot of blood!"

Ella groaned and touched Jaspers hand. "Jasper? Is that you? W-Why do I feel so funny?" Jasper gave her a terrified look and cried, "Hang on, Ella! Just hang on!"

He picked her up and ran to the nearest place he could get help. Ingrid's house. His brothers followed behind brushing the blood off their face as Ingrid's house came in to view.

They quickly ran up the porch and banged on the door. The door open and Ingrid stood there with a confused look, then it turned to fear. "Zombies!"

With the best English Jasper said, "H-Help! P-Leeaaase help!" Ingrid frowned then looked at Ella's dying body then looked back the zombies. "Please" Jasper cried.

Ingrid sighed and motioned them to come inside. "Quick, set her on the couch." Jasper and his brothers raced inside, setting her body on the couch as Ingrid grabbed a first aid kit and same wet rags.

She sat beside Ella and began to remove the bullets with pinchers and patched up the holes before Ella could lose anymore blood. Ingrid washed the blood from Ella and got her in new clothes and resting very soon.

As she finished up with Ella, Ingrid made her way to the back porch where the four brothers sat in worry. Ingrid gulped and peered through the door saying, "I have no idea who you are, or if you want to hurt me, but the girl is okay. She needs rest though, so I'm gonna keep her here until she can get on her feet."

The brothers turned towards her and nodded. "Ella" Jasper said pointing towards the living room. Ingrid nodded and said, "her name is Ella. Go it." She closed the door leaving the brothers out in the cold. It wasn't the weather that worried them though. It was Ella, and if she was really okay."

...

Ella opened her eyes to find a woman patting a rag on her head. She groaned and said, "where am I?" The woman looked down on her and smiled, "hey there, sweetie. It's okay. Your in my living room."

Ella tried to move, but was in it much pain. "Careful, sweetie. Don't move. Just lay down." Ingrid warned. Ella frowned and looked around the room saying, "wheres Jasper! Wheres Iggy, Quincey and Axe!"

Ingrid gave her a strange look when Ella said, "my zombies! Where are my zombies!" Ingrid smiled and said, "oh. Their okay. All four of them are in the backyard. They saved you, ya know. They brought you to my house."

Ella frowned then realized the woman was Ingrid. "Do you remember anything, pumpkin? Anything at all." Ella nodded and said, "there was men. Witch Hunters. They attack me and the boys. Then I got shot. I got couldn't move. It was weird."

Ingrid nodded and held a mug up to Ella's lips. "Here. Drink this. It'll make you feel better." Ella took a sip from the hot drink to find out it was chicken soup.

After Ella finished the soup Ingrid said, "so Witch Hunters were after you, huh? There pretty nasty. I have a friend who is always being stalked by those freaks..

Ella frowned and said, "you know about magic?" Ingrid laughed and said, "oh, honey! Of course I do! I'd be a pretty lame oracle of I didn't know what magic is!"

"Your a oracle?" Ella gasped. Ingrid nodded and poured Ella some tea, brushing aside her cats. "So your... zombies. Will they hurt me? Cause the one won't stop staring at me through the window."

Ingrid glanced at Axe, who stood against the back door, glaring at Ingrid. She gulped and turned back to Ella who laughed. "Axe! He won't hurt a fly! It's just his way of being involved."

Ingrid nodded and said, "so can I let them in? It's been raining, and their soaked." Ella nodded. "Yeah. It's safe." Ingrid walked over to the door and opened it, motioning them in.

All four of them shuffled in, dripping water everywhere. "There's a towel in the bathroom. Dry off first!" The boys dried off then made their way over to Ella, who sat under a large blanket on the couch.

Jasper touch her hand as she looked up at them and smiled. "Ella" he croaked. "Are you guys okay?" Ella asked. "Yeah. Just a few scraps" Quincey said holding up his bandaged hand.

Ella sighed when Iggy said, "why'd you do that? Why'd you take the blow?" Ella smiled and said, "cause. I did it for the same reason Cel pushed you out of the road, Jasper. I did I cause I love you guys. And if you love someone, you shouldn't let them get ran over by a car or shot in the head."

Quincey tea red up and said, "that was beautiful." Ella laughed and said, "pretty crazy, huh? Before I was a abused witch and now I live with zombies! Things can change quickly."

Jasper gave a laugh and ruffled Ella's hair. "Your alright, kiddo." Ella grinned and said, "back'achya!"
