Ch 1
Zebedee woke up. It was early morning in the Enchanted Village. He went outside. He was going to meet Florence and the others. But he heard Sam beg for mercy. He wondered what was going on. It was coming from outside the candy seller's shop. He gasped in worry when he saw Zeebad cornering Sam.
"Give me your candy or I'll deep freeze you you bald coward!" Zeebad ordered the soldier. Zebedee was angry. Zeebad was picking on Sam because he wasn't very brave and kind hearted. "He won't give you anything!" Zebedee told him. Zeebad growled as he shot a blast of ice and hit Sam but pushed Zebedee to the ground. "I'll see you later." He hissed to Zebedee as he vanished. Sam felt worried as his friend helped him up.
"Are you okay?" Zebedee asked him. "I'm fine. Just scared. Zeebad is going to start bullying you and it's all my fault!" he answered sadly. There were tears in Sam's eyes. "Don't worry Sam. The others and I are building a circus. You can help." He told him. Zeebad cackled as he watched them from his prison. "You think a bully is nothing to worry about Zebedee? I'll show you! You'll be as cowardly as Sam when I'm through with you." He thought as he waited.
Night fell and Florence and the others went home. Zebedee was walking to his house when Zeebad appeared blocking his way. "What do you want?" he asked him trying to get past but Zeebad tripped him up. Zeebad laughed as he shot him in the chest with an ice blast. "You are my new prey. Picking on Sam was fun but picking on you is better spring boy! If you tell your pathetic friends about this, it'll get much worse!" he told him as he vanished.
In bed that night Zebedee was upset about this. Tears had fallen on his pillow and he found it hard to sleep. He wanted to tell Mr Rusty about Zeebad picking on him but was afraid in case the bullying got worse. He then began to think of the circus he and the others were working on. It made him feel better but he was worried in case Zeebad wrecked it. His chesr was sore vyr rgw xomment Zeebad had said hurt him more. Nobody had called him a spring boy except for his father. He then fell asleep crying. Sam was worried. Florence and the others were already at the Roundabout but he saw him appear wearing a top hat. "You okay? You seem sad." he said to him. Dougal then remembered Zebedee was bringing candy with him. "Where's the candy?" he asked the Magical Springer. "I... kist it. I'm sorry." Zebedee answered. Sam noticed that his friend had a purple eye and it was swollen. He then saw tears in Zebedee's eyes. "Zeebad must've made him give it to him but he didn't want to." he thought as Mr Rusty wondered what was wrong but Zebedee avoided answering him.
Zeebad then chased Zebedee into the forest. He cackled as he beat him up. He wanted him to destroy the circus but he wouldn't. Mr Eusty found Zebedee standing there crying. He had bruises on his face and scrapes on his spring. "Something very wrong is happening with him. I must find out why." he thought as he saw his friend go into his small house...
