I'm so sorry for disappearing off the face of the Earth D:
Sorry if Glinda is OOC, but it's amazing what grief can do to people.
Glinda looked out over the crowded streets of the Emerald City from her balcony, the happy chanting rose to her.
"No one mourns the Wicked!"
"No one cries; they won't return!"
Glinda ran back into her room and slammed the double doors to the balcony shut in frustration; those people had no right… no way to know what she felt. She walked over her desk and sat down pulling out one of the drawers. Her hand danced through the countless documents and photos from Shiz. She pulled out one with her and Elphaba in the Emerald City.
A scuttling sound echoed up the hallway to her room. Glinda's eyes widened when she realized the door was open, she rushed to put the photos back but was toppled over along with the photos and documents when a black fuzz ball called Toto bumped into the chair unbalancing her.
"Oh, Lady Glinda I'm so sorry!" Glinda banged her head on the floor in annoyance at the girl, she knew who it was.
"It's alright." Glinda sighed beginning to pick up her old things, hoping Dorothy wouldn't see them.
"Oh, let me, please!" Dorothy rushed forward, beginning to pick up papers not giving a second thought. Thankfully Glinda had already gotten most of the pictures put away- all but one. Dorothy reached for the small square of paper and turned it over, almost overlooking it, but it caught her attention when she saw the two girls in it.
One had short blonde bouncy hair and was wearing a sun dress. She recognized Glinda immediately, the smile she wore was so real and well… happy, she could tell the first time she had met her and from then that her smiles meant nothing. But the second girl is why she really looked back. She wore an ordinary black dress, if not old fashioned in her opinion. Dark brunette hair cascaded down her shoulders and around her chocolate eyes messily. A tall black hat was perched on her head. On her face was an expression of pure joy and excitement. But what stood out the most was her skin, green. Dorothy's breath caught. The two girl were leaning on each other, Glinda's head on the others shoulder, they looked so happy together, two friends.
Glinda wondered why the girl stopped and turned to her, eyes widening when she the picture in her hands.
"Give that to me!" Glinda snapped in annoyance snatching away the photo and shoving into the drawer.
Dorothy managed to stutter after a while,
"She was your friend wasn't she."
Glinda sighed, she knew it wasn't a question it was a statement. This girl of 10 years old figured it out when everyone was blind, even those who had gone to Shiz with Elphaba had forgotten, or were dead. Glinda was cursed to die alone and old when she watched her friends die.
FLASHBACK:
Glinda screamed, and sat up in her bed, sweating slightly. Immediately Elphaba was at her side leaning over like a sister. She trailed the hair away from Glinda's face. Thunder shook the building causing Glinda to yelp again. "What's wrong?" Elphaba asked with rare concern that was only left for Glinda when they were alone.
"The thunder, I know, I know don't look at me like that. I just never got used to it." Glinda pouted. Elphaba smiled and sat on her bed putting her arm around Glinda. "It's alright, I'm here, and I'll always be here." Glinda smiled again before drifting off into sweet oblivion, "Elphie?" "Yes, Glin?"
"I'm glad that you're my friend."
"Yes." She answered the girl, almost in a hushed whisper.
But friend was an understatement, best friend, sister. Fiyero once said how lucky we were that we were all friends. But it was her and Glinda, who were the lucky ones.
Hope that makes up for my absence! Should this be a multi chapter or one-shot? Let me know and please review!
