Novel[]
In the Novel, Ellie Creed is a bright 5 year old who is scared to start school in the beginning. She ends up fitting in great at school but after a visit to the Pet Semetary with Jud Crandell, she is terrified of Church dying and talks to Louis about her fear. After Church dies and comes back she no longer wants him sleeping in her bed because he smelled too bad.
When Norma Crandell passes away, Ellie attends the funeral and when she gets into the car bursts out crying because she realizes Norma can no longer make her favorite cookies.
After Gage is killed she carries around a picture of Gage. In the pic, she is pulling Gage on a sled around with her everywhere. She is a lot quieter and sad through the rest of the book. Victor Pascow also starts visiting her dreams to try to help warn her of what is going to happen but no one except Rachel pays attention. She tries to warn Louis but he of course does not listen.
