The Life of Elizabeth Jane

Chapter 14: Broomsticks and Witches

It had been two weeks since Ellie was back on her feet walking around it was just in time for halloween.

She was trying on costumes and decided to be a witch.

She was running around with her broom and costume, casting pretend spells, and being nuts. Halloween was her favorite holiday.

"Ellie settle down" said Edward.

She was being extremely loud.

She snuck into Luke's room and up behind him.

"BOO!" she yelled. Luke jumped up and turned around.

"Ellie!" he yelled.

"I scared you I scared you!" said Ellie happily.

"Get out of here" said Luke.

"Don't be such a party pooper" said Ellie jumping on his bed. 

"Ellie I'm triyng to study now get out of her before I yell for mom" said Luke.

John had walked by and saw all this he was laughing.

"Come on my pretty" said John in a weird witch voice, "There are potions to brew."

Ellie laughed and ran out of the room. John picked her up and she was holding on to her broom. He flew her around like she was flying and ran down stairs into the living room. Jesse, TJ and Will were watching TV.

"Hey get out of here" said TJ.

"She doesn't need help being hyper from you" said Jesse.

Will picked up a pillow and thew it at John but instead it hit Ellie in the face. Thats when the tears came.

John sat her down and kneeled down in front of her, her nose was bleading he put his hand over it.

"Really Will?" said John.

"Sorry it was accident" said Will.

Jesse thew a pillow at him and so did TJ they got up and followed John to the kitchen. Jesse ran to get ice and a towel as John sat her on the stool and tilted her head back. Jesse put the towel over her nose and kept pressure on it. John went to wash her hands. Nancy came in.

She sighed "what happened?"

"Will hit her with a pillow" said TJ.

"And why was that?" asked Nancy.

"Because I was flying her around the room" said John.

Nancy shook her head and walked over to Ellie.

"Go tell Will to go talk to your father" said Nancy.

They all left.

"Elizabeth Jane I told you needed to settle down" said Nancy.

"Sorry mom" said Ellie.

"Its ok" said Nancy.

"So this halloween I can go out by myself with friends right? asked Ellie.

"No" said Nancy.

Ellie jumped up, her nose stoppd bleedding.

"What! Why!" she yelled.

"Elizabeth Jane, lower your voice" said Nancy.

"Mom thats not fair I'm old enough now I don't need any of my brothers to watch me" said Ellie.

"Sorry no, you aren't roaming around town by yourself" said Nancy.

"Mom" she complained.

"Are you going to walk home down the road by yourself in the dark?" asked Nancy.

Ellie was silent.

"Thats what I thought" said Nancy.

"I will if Tuck's with me" said Ellie.

"He can be a vampire" said Ellie.

"Fine, then we will see how it goes, I will give you my cell phone and you better answer it if I call" said Nancy.

Ellie jumped.

"Thank you mom, thank you, thank you, thank you!" she yelled as she gave her mom a big hug

Nancy smiled

She ran out of the room into the living room.

"She is letting me go out by myself, well plus Tuck, Tuck barked" yelled Ellie.

"Great Ellie, now move out of the way" said TJ.

She gave him a look.

Jesse smiled and grabbed a klenex.

"Ellie come here" said Jesse putting a tissue over her nose.

Ellie crossed her arms.

"Go get a towel" said Jesse laughing.
