Chapter one
Elektra Perkins makes her way into the kitchen in Elmtree house and she finds Johnny Taylor sitting alone there.
"When are you going to take me on our first holiday together?" Elektra questions Johnny.
Taylor then smiles in response to Perkins' question.
"Tonight," he tells her in response to her question.
Elektra is left excited by Johnny's news.
"Where are you going to take me?" She asks him.
Johnny then looks at Elektra lovingly in the eyes.
"To the Yorkshire Dales!" He informs her.
Elektra then shares a loving kiss with Johnny on the lips.
"Where are we going to stay there?" She continues to question him.
There's a long moment of silence.
"In a tent I've just bought one," Johnny explains to Elektra in response to her latest question.
Perkin's then lets out a little moan in response to Taylor's explanation, Elektra once promised herself that she would never ever let herself stay in a tent. Johnny the bursts into giggles by just taken a look at Elektra's horrified face.
"I'm just joking Elektra, I've booked us into a nice B and B for a few days," Taylor then promises Perkins' in laughter.
Elektra then slaps Johnny hard on the arm for not having a very good sense of humour. Mike Milligan then enters the kitchen.
"What are you two planning?" Mike questions his two care kids.
Neither Johnny nor Elektra have saw fit to tell Mike that they're going on holiday.
"We were just organising a surprise party for the new boy's arrival!" Perkins informs Milligan in a lie.
Mike then smiles at Elektra in response to her information.
"Well done guys such a lovely idea," Mike then tells both Elektra and Johnny in a tone of happiness.
Milligan then folds his arms.
"Well he arrives later tonight so you better get cracking!" He tells both Taylor and Perkins.
Liam O'Donovan and Lily Kettle then make their way into the kitchen together, it's clear that Elektra doesn't really like Lily. Mike turns to face them both. Liam looks at Mike.
"Cam's at the door to see you!" He informs him.
Cam Lawson then makes her way into the kitchen of Elmtree house, and she faces Mike there. Mike gives Cam both a smile and a hug.
"Welcome," he says to her.
Cam looks at Mike.
"Can we talk in your office please?" She questions him.
Lily then steps forward to greet Cam.
"Hello," she says to her.
Lawson and Kettle used to be stepmother and stepdaughter to one another.
"Are they looking after you now?" Cam questions Lily in a tone of concern.
Lily then nods her head in response to Cam's question.
"Yeah it's like I'm living in Dreamland now because I live in a free world now," she informs her in response to her question.
Cam then follows Mike out of the kitchen to talk with him in his office. Lily then turns round to face Johnny and Elektra in the kitchen.
"Where are you two going?" She questions them.
Elektra then ignores Lily's question, because she really doesn't like her, but Johnny gives Lily a smile.
"Elektra and I are going on a secret holiday together," he informs her.
Liam then places his arm around Lily and he looks at Johnny excitedly.
"Can we come too please," O'Donovan questions Taylor.
Elektra then nods her head at Liam.
"You can yeah but Lily can't!" She snarls at him.
Lily's troubled.
"Why can't I come?" She questions Elektra.
Perkins then gives Kettle an angry look.
"Because I really don't like you!" She snarls ruefully at her.
Elektra then leaves the room. Johnny then looks at Liam apologetically in the eyes.
"I'm sorry but its Elektra's decision and I'm sure you don't want to come on your own away with us without Lily," he apologises to him.
Johnny then looks at Lily angrily in the eyes.
"Don't rise to Elektra's bullying campaign against you or you'll have me to answer to!" He warns her in a sharp strong tone of anger.
Johnny then disappears out of the room. Lily then allows Liam to hug her.
"Why does everyone always have it in for me Elektra Jack?" She questions him in a tone of sadness.
Lily has a good reason to be upset, because people like Jack O'Donovan and Elektra Perkins always seem to have it in for people like her. Liam looks at Lily in the eyes.
"How about we go on our own holiday?" He questions her.
There's a long moment of silence, and Lily can't seem to take in Liam's question.
"Have you gone mad?" She questions him in a tone of shock.
Liam then shakes his head in response to Lily's question.
"No girl I've always been mad," he informs her in response to her question.
Chapter two
It doesn't take Elektra Perkins long to turn Johnny Taylor, Jody Jackson, Taylor Lewis, Harry Jones, Floss Guppy and Mo Michaels all against Lily Kettle. Johnny and Elektra trash up Lily's bedroom together, Taylor kicks a football full on into Lily's face, Harry doesn't let her play with either him or Jeff the toy giraffe, Floss rips up the only picture Lily has of Rosie her deceased younger sister, Mo steals Lily's favourite CD to hold as a treasure, because he likes collecting treasure, and Jody pushes her down the stairs, and that sends her off to hospital.
There are still some people at Elmtree house believe it or not who are actually staying loyal to Lily against Elektra, for example Carman Howle and Liam O'Donovan both still love her, Tee Taylor still calls Lily her friend and respects her for being so, Rick Barber still likes Lily (he secretly still loves her), and finally Frank Matthews' still likes her. Liam, Carman and Cam Lawson actually all go with Lily to the hospital, and they all wait with her while she gets checked out there.
While Cam Lawson's at the hospital supporting Lily Kettle and Mike Milligan is welcoming the new boy into Elmtree house, and giving him a Gus tour Elektra Perkins and Johnny Taylor both sneak out of the Dumping Ground to go on their holiday together.
Mike Milligan gives the new male care worker (Matthew Seed) a tour around Elmtree house.
"You'll be working alongside both me and my college Tracy Beaker when she gets back from her honeymoon!" Mike informs Matthew as he shows him into a bedroom.
Rick Barber and Frank Matthews' then make their way into the bedroom. Rick looks at Mike directly and he totally ignores the new care worker.
"Do you have a minute?" Barber questions Milligan.
Mike then nods his head in response to Rick's question. Mike then turns round to face Matthew once more.
"I'll leave you with Frank!" He informs him.
Milligan then follows Barber out of the bedroom and he leaves him in there with Matthews'. Mike and Rick stop to talk to one another on the landing just outside the bedroom.
"I think Elektra's setting up a bullying campaign against Lily!" Barber informs Milligan in a tone of concern.
Mike is left totally shocked by Rick's information.
"I had really believed that Elektra had changed," he tells him in a tone of shock.
Matthew then disappears out of the bedroom and he finds both Mike and Rick facing him on the landing.
"Where's my office?" Seed questions Milligan.
Mike gives Matthew another little smile.
"Our office I'll show you," he informs him.
Mike then turns back to face Rick.
"Don't worry I've taken in everything you've informed me about and I'm going to speak to Elektra," he makes a promise to him.
Matthew's troubled.
"Who's Elektra?" He wonders.
Mike then turns to face his new college in response to his question.
"I'm sure your two paths will cross soon enough," he promises him in response to his question.
Jody Jackson then hurries as fast as she can up the stairs to see Mike.
"Elektra's disappeared!" Jackson informs Milligan in a tone of concern.
Tee then also races up the stairs to see them.
"Johnny's also disappeared," Taylor tells Milligan.
Tee then looks at Matthew with trouble in her eyes.
"Who are you? Can you help me find my brother?" She questions him in a tone of trouble.
Matthew then nods his head in response to Tee's question and he allows her to take him happily by his hand.
"Off course I can!" Matthew then promises Tee in response to her question.
Seed then allows Taylor to lead him downstairs.
Chapter three
Lily Kettle's given the all clear from hospital, and Cam Lawson drives her, Liam O'Donovan and Carman Howle all back to Elmtree house. There they find the house in chaos.
"Elektra and Johnny have both disappeared!" Mike Milligan informs Cam immediately as soon as she steps foot in the house.
Lawson then desperately looks at Milligan in the eyes.
"We need Tracy home!" She informs him urgently in a tone of despair.
Mike then shakes his head in response to Cam's information.
"I have a new care worker working alongside me now Matthew Seed!" He tells her.
Cam is troubled.
"Does he seem trustworthy?" She questions Mike.
Milligan then nods his head in response to Lawson's question.
"Yeah I'm coming to quite like him and so are the kids it appears that Tee's already quite fond of him!" He responds to her in response to her question.
Cam then gives Mike a huge smile.
"Good well in that case he can help us keep this place running until Tracy returns, and he can help us find Johnny and Elektra!" She informs him.
Mike then nods his head in response to Cam's information.
"Yeah Matthew's already gone on the search for Elektra and Johnny!" He informs her in response to her own information.
Matthew then appears on the hallway of the house right before Mike and Cam.
"There's no sign of either of them anywhere around the house!" He informs them both.
Immediately there's then a moment of utter horror, where could either Johnny Taylor or Elektra Perkins possibly be? Matthew looks at Cam.
"You and I need to go out and search the streets for them!" He tells her.
Cam then shakes her head in response to Matthew's words.
"They're both probably out of the town now!" She informs him in response to his words.
Mike then makes in the direction of his office.
"Right I'm going to call the police!" He shouts at both Cam and Matthew in a tone of fear.
Chapter four
Lily Kettle makes her way into her bedroom at Elmtree house, and she finds Rick Barber, Carman Howle, Tee Taylor and Frank Matthews' all waiting for her there. Liam O'Donovan then makes his way into Lily's room. O'Donovan looks at Kettle in the eyes.
"You have friends here you're never alone, and you certainly don't have to battle Elektra alone!" He makes a vow to her.
Lily then pulls Liam into a loving hug.
"Thank you for finding some people that still like me," she thanks him.
Carman then pulls Lily into a loving hug.
"I will always love you," she promises her.
Tee then pulls Lily into a hug.
"As will I," she tells her in a promise.
Rick then stares lovingly at Lily.
"I will always love you," he promises her.
There's then a long everlasting moment of silence.
"Even if you don't love me!" Barber informs Kettle.
Frank then shakes hands with Lily.
"You're still my friend!" He promises her.
Liam then looks round at everyone facing him in the room.
"The great battle of Elmtree house is about to begin, we must all take up arms and battle Elektra!" He informs them all.
Liam then looks at Lily lovingly in the eyes.
"I will protect you until my last breath fades away!" He promises her.
Rick then looks at Liam.
"While Elektra's away we should show her army that we're not to be messed with!" He suggests to him.
O'Donovan then nods his head in agreement to Barber's suggestion. Liam then races out of the room but he finds Matthew Seed (the new care worker) blocking his path, just outside the bedroom. Liam looks at Matthew with fear in his eyes.
"You alright there mate? I was just going to go and watch the TV in the play room!" He informs him.
Seed then shakes his head in response to O'Donovan's information.
"No you were just going to go and mess with Elektra Perkins' army in the play room, but let me tell you something right now Liam O'Donovan an eye for an eye is never the way forward," he tells him in response to his information.
Liam then tries to hurry past Matthew but Seed grabs O'Donovan to stop him from running.
"WHERE ARE ELEKTRA AND JOHNNY TAYLOR?" Matthew commands an answer from Liam in a tone of rage.
O'Donovan then looks quickly at Seed.
"Alright I'll tell you where they've gone if you go and let me attack the younger children!" He informs him.
Matthew shakes his head at Liam.
"I can't let you do that I'm afraid," he tells him.
Liam then shakes his own head at Matthew.
"Then I can't let you know where they've gone I'm afraid," he tells him.
Matthew then pushes past Liam and he urgently enters Lily's bedroom. Matthew finds the room crowded, but he did expect to. Matthew finds Lily sitting on her bed facing him.
"Look I do need to talk to you about this new situation that's occurred between yourself and Elektra Perkins', but right now I need you to tell me where Elektra and Johnny have gone!" He informs her in a demanding tone.
Lily then realises that you should only not grass on your friends and Elektra sadly isn't her friend.
"Elektra and Johnny have gone on holiday to the Yorkshire Dales," Kettle informs Seed.
Matthew then hurries out of Lily's bedroom as fast as his little legs can carry him. Matthew sprints down the flights of stairs of Elmtree house and he finds Mike Milligan waiting for him at the bottom of the stairs. Seed looks at Milligan urgently in the eyes.
"I know where they are, the missing children I know where they are!" He informs him in an urgent tone.
Cam then appears on the hallway of the house just before both Matthew and Mike. Seed then turns round to face Lawson.
"I know where Elektra and Johnny are!" He tells her in a promise.
Cam then turns to face Mike.
"We must leave immediately for the Yorkshire Dales!" She informs him.
Matthew looks at both Mike and Cam.
"Should I stay here in charge?" He questions them both.
Mike then nods his head in response to Matthew's question.
"Yes you stay here in charge make me proud Elmtree house is now temporarily in your hands," he informs him.
Matthew then shakes hands with Mike.
"I will take care of all the kids for you!" He promises him.
Mike then follows Cam out of the house. Matthew then makes his way into the office in the house, there he takes a seat. The door of the office suddenly shuts and Matthew can hear someone locking the door from the other side of the door. Seed then dashes off his chair over to the other office door, but that also closes, and someone also locks it. Matthew is now trapped in the office!
Chapter five
Jody Jackson has just locked Matthew Seed up in the office, it now appears that there's no one in charge around Elmtree house. Jody is acting head of Elektra's army while she's away, and that means that she has the power to battle Lily Kettle, Liam O'Donovan and their army, and that's exactly what she's going to do. Jody is ready to battle Lily; Taylor Lewis is ready to battle Liam, Harry Jones is ready to battle Carman Howle, Mo Michaels' I ready to battle Tee Taylor, and Floss Guppy is ready to battle Frank Matthews'. Jody finds Lily playing on her Xbox in her bedroom in Elmtree house; she appears to be completely alone. Lily looks up from the game she's playing as Jody enters her bedroom.
"Have you come to apologise for turning against me?" Kettle questions Jackson.
Jody then shakes her head in response to Lily's question and she clenches her fists in anger at her.
"No I've come to battle you!" Jody snaps at Lily in an informing tone.
Lily then struggles up from where she's lying on her bed, and she looks at Jody in the eyes.
"You're not a bad person," Kettle tries to tell Jackson.
Jody then pulls a face at Lily.
"How do you know what I am?" She questions her in a tone of disgust.
Lily then smiles at Jody.
"I've known you for four years now," she reminds her.
There's a long everlasting moment of silence.
"The only anger in you is Elektra's," Lily continues to tell Jody.
Jackson then launches herself angrily onto Kettle, and she begins to beat her up. Suddenly Liam dashes out of the wardrobe in Lily's room to protect the woman he loves. O'Donovan then rounds on Jackson, and he pulls her off Kettle. Taylor Lewis then dashes into Kettle's bedroom and he rounds on Liam there.
"Get off her!" Lewis commands O'Donovan as he pulls him off Jackson.
Liam then rounds angrily on Taylor.
"How can you betray Lily like this?" He demands from him in an angry tone.
Taylor smiles coldly under his breath.
"Because I'm part of Elektra's army!" He informs Liam.
O'Donovan then looks at Lewis mercifully in the eyes.
"You don't have to do this; you don't have to follow Elektra like this. You're better than her and you don't need her," he tries to tell him.
There's a long moment of silence and it's clear that Taylor is feeling both scared and nervous about something.
"You're scared of Elektra aren't you?" Liam questions Taylor with concern in the tone of his voice.
Lily then looks at Jody directly in the eyes and she can see fear staring back at her in those eyes.
"You fear Elektra don't you?" Kettle questions Jackson with concern in the tone of her voice.
Lily then takes Jody gently by the hand.
"It's alright you don't need to fear me I'm not Elektra and I can protect you from the likes of Elektra!" She makes a promise to her.
Liam then places his arm gently around Taylor.
"Stop fighting against Lily Kettle and start fighting against Elektra Perkins'! You don't need to obey Elektra you don't need to betray Lily like this! Love Lily hate Elektra not the other way round," he tries to tell him.
Jody then shakes her head at Lily.
"I WILL NEVER JOIN YOU!" She tells her in anger.
Taylor then pushes Liam roughly away from him.
"I WILL ALWAYS SERVE ELEKTRA!" He yells at him in a tone of disgust.
Liam continues to look at Taylor in the eyes.
"Think of Carman," he reminds him.
Liam then pulls a face at Taylor.
"Would you willingly betray her? Carman's staying loyal to Lily and you've turned against Carman's best mate," he tells him in a reminding tone.
Carman then appears in Lily's room before Taylor in response to Liam's words. Howle looks at Lewis disgustedly in the eyes.
"Liam's right you've betrayed Lily my best mate and that means that you've also betrayed me, we're over!" She informs him in a disgusted tone.
Taylor then smiles coldly at Carman.
"So be it!" He snaps at her.
Lewis and Howle then launch themselves onto one another and they begin to battle one another. Liam then rounds on Jody who is now trying to round on Lily again. O'Donovan pushes Jackson roughly away from Kettle.
"Lay off her!" He snarls at her.
Jody then looks at Liam with a look of hatred.
"You should not have pushed me!" She warns him.
Liam then looks back at Jody with the same look of hatred.
"You should not have started on Lily!" He informs her with the same warning tone.
Liam and Jody then launch themselves onto one another and they begin to battle one another.
Ending
The whole of Elmtree house is now filled with war! Matthew Seed the new care worker is still locked up and trapped in the office in the house, and Mike Milligan and Cam Lawson are still on the search for Johnny Taylor and Elektra Perkin's.
