As Elphaba creeped through the night, she protected herself from being seen from anyone. She clung tight to her cloak, wrapping the black leather around her thin frame. Turning a corner, she ducked from several guards. After a few moments, the coast cleared and she slowly got up, making her way back to her original route. Unaware of the guard noticing and following her, she kept her mind on her mission. Elphaba stopped abruptly missing some other guard's view, but soon the one following her grabbed her from behind and clung tightly to her.
A woman, wrapped in a silk black cloak, swiftly pulled out her dagger, killing the guard. Elphaba backed up quickly from the woman and eyed her carefully.
"Who are you?" Elphaba asked still looking her up and down.
The woman simply smiled under her hood. She raised her hand and slid off her hood, letting her dark brown hair cascade down her back and chest. Her smile still etched upon her lips as her ruby red eyes showed hints of amusement.
"I thought you would know who I was Elphaba," The woman chuckled, "I am Akira, cousin to Fiyero."
"That's absurd, Fiyero doesn't have a cousin." Replied Elphaba.
"Actually, he does, he just doesn't talk about me. Nevermind that, we need to protect Glinda." Answered Akira
"Fine, but we will continue this talk later." Elphaba retorted.
Akira sighed and shook her head. She grabbed her hood and pulled it back on.
"When we get inside, shed your cloak, it will only drag you down." Akira said softly.
"All right." Elphaba replied.
Akira moved around silently, checking corners before walking past. Akira took off her cloak and cast it to the side, revealing her athletic body along with the tight leather suit that clung perfectly to her body showing her curves. Elphaba smiled slightly at her figure and pulled off her own cloak, showing her normal dress attire.
Akira grabbed Elphaba and pulled her along remaining silent until they came upon a chamber.
"She is in here." Akira whispered pointing to the door.
"Then lets go in." Replied Elphaba standing up ready to burst through the door, when Akira grabbed her and pulled her back down.
"You fool, there are guards in there." Akira snapped. "We have to go around so we can sneak in."
"Fine." Retorted Elphaba following Akira around the corner into another chamber.
Akira sneaked around, sliding in and out of shadows before opening a door and walking in. Elphaba silently followed suit and when she walked through the door, she saw Glinda in chains against a wall. Her eyes widened as she ran over to her. Glinda looked and smiled at them both.
"So I see you helped Elphaba get here." Glinda said looking up at Akira.
Elphaba looked at both the girls acknowledging there exchange.
"You two know each other?" She asked looking at both of them.
"Glinda I am your guardian, I'm supposed to help your friend find you." Akira replied smiling back at her.
Glina chuckled. Akira went over to Glinda.
"Are you all right?" She asked looking concerned, seeing a cut on her arm.
"No she is not." Elphaba said going over to Glinda.
"Relax Elphie, I'll survive." Answered Glinda.
Akira smirked at Glinda and undid her chains, picking her up. "Come on, lets get out of here." She said taking hold of Elphaba and flaming out of the room to her hideout.
Elphaba pulled back from her and looked at them both. "What…why didn't you do that to get into the room, when you were outside?" She asked.
"I can't do it all the time Elphaba, even you know that about magic." Akira replied.
Glinda looked up at Elphaba. "Elphie, don't get mad at Akira, she is my guardian and I asked her to protect you if you tried to rescue me. I needed you to meet her, but I was hoping that it wouldn't be like this. Instead I'm now in running because I stood against the Wizard." She said softly.
"We need to go somewhere else, I know of a certain place, but you have to be up for it." Akira said to both of them.
Elphaba sighed and nodded. "Fine, but just protect Glinda." She said glancing over at Glinda.
Akira nodded and took a bow of leave before leaving her chamber.
Elphaba sighed and looked back at Glinda. "Does she know about us?"
Glinda nodded. "She always has, she kept close eyes on us so that no one would see us or rat us out to anyone else." She replied.
Elphaba looked at Glinda and walked over to her silently as she touched her face lovingly. "I thought I was going to loose you." She said leaning down and kissing her softly. Glinda smiled back up at her and kissed her back. "But you didn't." She replied sucking on Elphaba's bottom lip slightly. Elphaba smiled and wrapped her arms around her before bringing her over to the bed. Glinda smiled as Elphaba showed her dominance over her in the bed.
