It had been a few days since Miss Agatha Trunchbull had left Crunchem Hall Primary School for good. All the kids there were relieved and even happier when Mr. Trilby announced Miss Honey was going to be the new headmistress of Crunchem Hall. Originally, he was going to be in charge but he decided that Miss Honey deserved the title more. It was also renamed to 'Honey Hall' which was his idea.After the Trunchbull left, Miss Honey and Matilda began to redecorate the house to make it look more enthusiastic and positive as it was before Miss Honey's father died.Matilda was no longer Matilda Wormwood, the neglected prodigy child of uncaring parents known by Mr. Harry Wormwood and Mrs. Zinnia Wormwood or the sister of someone who hardly paid any attention to her. She is now Matilda Honey, living with Miss Jennifer "Jenny" Honey as her new adoptive mother. The kind and gentle teacher had taken her to her late father's house as her own.When Matilda was finally free from them, she had never experienced more joy in her life, nor did Miss Honey. They had similar lives but Miss Honey had it worse and more dark. She knew the Trunchbull was abusive but she had gone way above her power towards her teacher. She couldn't imagine what terrible ways she could punish her.Poor sweet little innocent Jenny.She asked herself why kids get treated this way. Sure, kids can be annoying and petty but they don't deserve anything the Trunchbull can do to them.It was nighttime and a huge blazing storm at The Red House and Miss Honey just finished organising her schedule for next month. She then approached Matilda's room, which was her room when she was young, to tuck her in.Matilda grinned and informed her mother, "Mum, I'm so glad we're together. I've finally got something I truly never had. A family."Miss Honey smiled, forming tears in her eyes, "I feel the same thing, baby girl. You rescued me from someone who would torment everyone around her, especially me…" She trailed, sighing with her face falling.Matilda faced her sympathetically, laying a hand on her back, "Don't think about her . She's gone now and she'll never come back."Miss Honey hardened a positive face and asked, "You want to continue Hard Times by Charles Dickens ?"Matilda responded cheerfully, "Yes, that would be lovely, Mummy." She then giggled, she loved calling her that. Miss Honey giggled lightly too.After thirty minutes of reading, Matilda finally felt tired and fell into her slumber. Miss Honey brought a motherly kiss on her adopted daughter's forehead, switched off the lights, and closed the door. Soon she went to sleep in her room, which was once her dad's and step-aunt's, and she too fell asleep in her bed.Near the house, Miss Agatha Trunchbull was stomping towards it in a fit of rage, and with a bare stomp, she roared as loud as she could to let out all her anger. She couldn't believe the truth behind the "ghost" of her stepbrother-in-law. Miss Trunchbull sat in her chair with one of her old teachers at her school. Jennifer fired all of the teachers that liked Miss Trunchbull's discipline and went along with her sinister ways, not caring for children, and reported them to the cops because they all went with Trunchbull's discipline and they also hated kids so it was a treat for them. She also reported her aunt to the police about EVERYTHING she did and they searched around for her. However one of the teachers escaped the cops. Many hours after 'the spirit' traumatised her, she had to dash as her car completely broke down. Damn Wormwood! She then passed out on the floor. Luckily, one of her sinister teachers found her unconscious on the floor and carried her to her house. She was called Miss Parley.In Miss Parley's room, she was smoking and then said, "Agatha, you seriously need to know this. Before your stupid niece fired me, I went into the security room to check what happened and um, I think you should see it yourself."Miss Trunchbull looked confused, "...Why would I want to watch myself suffer?"Miss Parley mentioned, "It has a BIG explanation as to what happened! Let's go a few minutes before you go to Miss Honey's class at 2 pm. I downloaded all the footage so you can see it! And don't worry we won't watch you being taunted!"Miss Trunchbull rolled her eyes as one of her old employees turned on the tv. It showed a scene with Matilda chatting with Lavender."I went to Miss Trunchbull's house again and I took some of the items for you." She thought in her head."Miss Trunchbull snapped in a fit rage, "SO! SHE SNUCK INTO MY HOUSE, TWICE! THAT TREACHEROUS BITCH!"It now showed Miss Honey in her classroom alone with Matilda.Matilda, sitting in the second row about ten feet away from Miss Honey, put her elbows on the desk and cupped her face in her hands, and this time she gave the order right at the beginning. ' Tip glass, tip !' she ordered, but her lips didn't move and she made no sound.Miss Trunchbull paused her anger and asked, "What in the blizzarding world is that despicable cretin doing, like the fuck?"Miss Parley replied, "You'll see. By the way, from what I heard from the Wormwood brat, she says that she's still broken from how you abused her."Miss Trunchbull snickered, "She couldn't think of what would happen of all the shit that would happen to her if she wasn't such a burden."
A jug was floating and then Miss Honey put it down.
She simply shouted the words inside her head. And now she concentrated the whole of her mind and her brain and her will up into her eyes and once again but much more quickly than before she felt the electricity gathering and the power was beginning to surge and the hotness was coming into the eyeballs, and then the millions of tiny invisible arms with hands on them were shooting out towards the glass, and without making any sound at all she kept on shouting inside her head for the glass to go over. She saw it wobble, then it tilted, then it toppled right over and fell with a tinkle onto the table-top not twelve inches from Miss Honey's folded arms.Miss Trunchbull's eyes widened, soon deeper.
Miss Honey's mouth dropped open and her eyes stretched so wide you could see the whites all round. She didn't say a word. She couldn't. The shock of seeing the miracle performed had struck her dumb. She gaped at the glass, leaning well away from it now as though it might be a dangerous thing. Then slowly she lifted her head and looked at Matilda. She saw the child white in the face, as white as paper, trembling all over, the eyes glazed, staring straight ahead and seeing nothing. The whole face was transfigured, the eyes round and bright, and she was sitting there speechless, quite beautiful in a blaze of silence.
Miss Trunchbull gasped in shock and turned to Miss Parley with a questioning look, who only nodded."No more Miss Nice Girl." She thought in her head confidently, the cameras also revealed sounds in their minds. (A/N: This was not in the original book, it was in the 1996 movie, but it sort of seems like something she would say in the novel.)Miss Parley turned off the TV as Miss Truncbull's entire face was glowing red with her blood boiling. "THAT KID SCUM HAS TELEKINESIS AND SHE PRETENDED TO BE THAT BLAZZERING NERD BROTHER OF MY STEP SISTER! AND JENNY KNEW THE WHOLE COCKY SHITHOLE OF A PLAN?! WHEN I GET MY BARE HANDS ON BOTH OF THEM, THEY'LL BE SO UNRECOGNISABLE!"Miss Parley praised, "Yes, unleash that anger on them."The Trunchbull then raged outside the door.A few minutes later, a doorbell rang. Miss Parley answered and then saw the police.A bobby declared, "Miss Parley, you are under arrest."Miss Parley groaned, "Shit!"Miss Trunchbull growled, "They are SO DEAD!" She kicked the door open and then walked upstairs.Matilda got up from her bed, interrupted by a loud noise from her amazing dream. She was disappointed as she was getting the awesome part. She checked the time and it was nine forty-five. She then heard loud footsteps.Miss Honey just exited the bathroom and then stood in one place like a statue and was struggling to move one step as the last person she ever wanted to see was giving a devilish smile at her."Greetings, Jen!" Miss Trunchbull stated evilly."H-H-Hello, Aunt Tr-Tr-Trunchbull." Miss Honey stuttered in shock, not knowing what to do to stop her.Miss Trunchbull grinned, "Well, it's a pleasure seeing you here at MY home that you took from me!" She spat out with slight aggression in her voice.Miss Honey timidly was shivering, "Uh, what are you doing back here?"Miss Trunchbull snapped, "Isn't it obvious, you disgusting reptile! I'm here to retrieve this crib, my job, and school back!"Miss Honey insisted weakly, "B-b-but-" She was grabbed roughly by the hair.Miss Trunchbull growled, "Is that a 'but' I hear?! YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENS I HEAR ANY 'BUTS', YOUNG LADY?!"Miss Honey begged, "Please, I'm sorry."Matilda heard Miss Honey's voice. A voice she hadn't heard for a long time. She then saw the Trunchbull grabbing Miss Honey. She was shocked to see Miss Trunchbull again and was damaging Miss Honey with her hands making her cry. The young girl's blood vessels tightened, her hands were clenching, she began breathing heavily, she was growing aggression seeing her mother getting abused.She then used telekinesis to float the Trunchbull up and drop her on the ground leaving her in tons of pain."Ahhh!" Trunchbull grunted. "Rats!"Matilda was sweating and then crawled over to Miss Honey and stroked her hair, "It's okay, Miss Honey. I dealt with her."The Trunchbull walked up the stairs and threw dust at Matilda's face. It reached her eyes. She was sneezing with her eyes closed due to the dust.Miss Trunchbull grinned, "Let's see you use your powers now, Wormwood?!"That made Miss Honey and Matilda freeze, how did she know about the powers? Miss Honey then took Matilda near the Trunchbull and whispered in Matilda's ear.Matilda nodded and as uncomfortable as it was, she was lucky that Miss Honey could guide her anywhere so she could use her eyes to attack. She grabbed a stool and hit the Trunchbull's face with it to knock her out. She then grabbed some rope from the closetAfter Matilda got the dust out of her eyes, Matilda and Miss Honey hugged tightly relieved that they were safe. After the hug, Miss Honey told Matilda, "Go to the police, honey. (well that's ironic lol) I'll call the police."Matilda nodded, "Yes, Mommy." She loved calling her that. She then entered her bedroom to return to her slumber.Miss Honey then reached the house phone and called the emergency number.The phone answered and replied, "Hello. 999, what is your emergency?"Miss Honey replied, "I would like to report Agatha Trunchbull, my aunt, please?!"She heard a gasp on the other end of the phone.Miss Trunchbull's days of terror ended and she was about to meet her absolute karma at the courtroom. Miss Honey wanted the court case to be private. She intended that all the kids at Honey Hall Primary heard about it and were relieved when their former monster of a headmistress was about to meet her absolute fateIn her cell, the Trunchbull looked very pissed off. She wasn't supposed to be put in this situation and Matilda's powers are the reason she was in this bullshit. She drank another bottle of beer.A bobby approached her cell and announced, "Miss Trunchbull, it's time for your court session to decide your punishment."Miss Trunchbull grumbled, "This situation is gonna make me become an alcoholic."In a courtroom, the session is just starting. Everyone was facing the Trunchbull with mixed expressions between them."All rise for the honourable Judge Bort!" The bailiff announced.Everyone rose from the chairs. Once the judge sat down, everyone else sat as well."I am the honourable Judge Bort!" Bort declared. "Today we'll be hearing the case of Agatha Trunchbull VS. Honey Hall Primary! Agatha Trunchbull is being charged with Child Abuse, Abuse of Power, Murder, Sororicide, Mass Torture, and many more! Prosecutor, please explain."The prosecutor stood up and clarified, "This awful woman has abused many kids physically, emotionally, and more types of abuse for years. They've been traumatised with their childhoods ruined and thought they would never be truly happy. She's also a nasty serial killer and has been responsible for the deaths of over 30 kids." (1)Everyone gasped.The prosecutor continued, "Poor Jennifer. Her abusive aunt brutally murdered her father and has made her life a living hell. She punished her in the most scary ways possible. All the evidence you need to end this case is found in these files, titled 'TOP SECRET: Plots of Agatha'."Judge hummed and asked the prosecutor, "May I read this please."The prosecutor walked to him and handed it over. After the Judge read it, he grew shocked and then was so ready to bang that gavel. "Well, Agatha, this is not looking well for you. Do you have anything to say before I bring you your punishment?"Miss Trunchbull snapped, "Fuck you! FUCK ALL OF YOU! YOU HAVEN'T GOT SHIT ON ME!"The Defence attorney deadpanned, "They have all the proof here in your files." Not even her lawyer was defending her."FUCK YOU, YOU BLOODY PRICK! YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO SUPPORT ME!" Miss Trunchbull yelled at the top of her lungs. She then screamed, "THIS IS BULLSHIT! I DO NOT DESERVE THIS ! Y'ALL CAN SUCK MY JUICY TITS AND MY HUGE PUSSY! YOU SICK FUCKS AND FALL OVER A CLIFF FOR ALL I CARE!"The judge growled and roared from the top of his lungs, "THAT'S ENOUGH!" For the first time in a LONG time, Miss Trunchbull listened to someone and sat down fearful of the judge.The judge glared at her, "Well, Agatha, for absolutely everything you've committed, I sentence you to life in prison without possibility of parole."Miss Trunchbull gasped, "No. NO! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"The judge hissed, "Take this bitch away! Court is now adjourned!" She declared banging his gavel again to dismiss the case.Miss Honey and Matilda hugged each other. They and all the kids who attended Crunchem Hall nightmares were finally over. They didn't know how Miss Trunchbull knew about the powers but the most important thing is that she'll be locked up in prison forever.A few hours after the session, Miss Trunchbull sat silently in her dark cell. She declared, "They've all made a terrible mistake and they will all see what's coming to them, and once I break out of this prison everyone and I mean ABSOLUTELY EVERYONE WILL SEE THE TRUE WRATH OF AGATHA TRUNCHBULL! THOSE DESPICABLE KIDS ! SLUT SUCKING JENNY ! AND GOLD DIGGER WORMWOOD! THEY WILL ALL BLOODY PAY!"A security guard passed some cells, including Trunchbull's and instructed her, "Hey, silence, inmate or else!"Miss Trunchbull roared, "MAKE ME, YOU BLOODY NUGGET!"The guard tased Miss Trunchbull and that weakened her, the former Olympian decided to give up and go to sleep.
