Choices We Make

Chapter 1
"Nessa!" Elphaba shot up from her spot next to Fiyero. They had shared a moment in the woods, safe for the time being. Now Fiyero sat up and looked at her.
"What's going on?" He asked.
"I just had this vision of a house landing on Nessa! I have to get to Munchkinland!" Elphaba began getting dressed but Fiyero stopped her.
"You can't! Fae it has to be a trap!" He pointed out.
"But Nessa is in danger!" Elphaba protested.
"Listen to me. This is the opportunity that Morrible was waiting for. You think that your sister is in trouble and you come running. Then they grab you and kill you. If you die than any hope of saving Oz from the Wizard or Morrible is gone. I will go. You head to my parents summer castle, Kiamo Ko. It's abandoned and no one will be looking there," Fiyero told her. Elphaba was about to argue when they heard noises. Quickly they both got dressed and Elphaba took off for the castle while Fiyero moved toward Munchkinland. Neither one was looking for the source of the noise which now decided it had better follow the green woman.
"Oh sweet mother of Oz," Glinda muttered under her breath and shook her head as she landed in her bubble. Dorothy was standing in the middle of the square looking completely confused and the Munchkins were singing and dancing.
"Where am I? Who are you?" Dorothy asked the blonde.
"I am Glinda the Good and you are in Munchkinland," Glinda smiled though it hurt to do so.
"How far away from Kansas is that?" Dorothy wanted to know.
"I have no idea where Kansas is. It would seem that you need to visit the Wizard but before you go, put on these magical ruby slippers. They'll help you get home," it was a crock but she needed the young woman and her dog out of the way. Elphaba would undoubtedly be arriving soon and this boob was going to mess it all up. She sent Dorothy on her way down the yellow brick road and waited.
"So why did Morrible want me to come out here?" Fiyero asked, playing it cool. He'd emerged from the woods and he hoped that he could talk to Glinda and then get out of there.
"She sent you out here?" The blonde gave him a look.
"She knew me and the troops were in the area. Though she was cryptic as to why I needed to be out here. It wouldn't seem that the Witch is here," he said.
"Where are the troops?" Glinda wanted to know.
"I told them to keep searching. No point in giving up looking while I wait for whatever is supposed to happen. Why are the Munchkins in such a good mood? Where did this house come from?" Fiyero threw a few questions at Glinda, hoping she was buying his lies.
"The house is from somewhere called "Kansas". As for the Munchkins, they're in a good mood because the Witch is dead," the blonde explained.
"The Witch is dead?" Fiyero swallowed hard.
"Poor Nessa," Glinda heaved a sigh. The Vinkun Prince breathed an inward sigh of relief, not because he didn't feel bad for Nessa but because he had confused her title with Elphaba's.
"Great Oz. How did this happen?" He wanted to know.
"A great storm apparently," Glinda said as the Munchkins continued to dance and sing.
"My ass it was a great storm," Fiyero clenched his fists. This was most definitely the work of Morrible. He had no idea how he was going to tell Elphaba.
"It would seem that Elphie isn't coming," Glinda seemed bummed by this and he turned to her, half wondering if she really wanted her friend captured.
"She's the Wicked Witch now," he reminded her. The blonde heaved a sigh but before anyone could say anything else, the troops wandered into the Munchkin town.
"Shouldn't you be looking for the Witch?" Their Captain asked them.
"Nothing yet, sir. We heard the commotion and came to check it out," the nearest soldier said.
"The Wicked Witch of the East is dead," he said.
"One down, one to go," another soldier said.
"That's right so get back out there. Madame Morrible will have our heads if we don't get the other one," Fiyero ordered.
"Yes sir!" They quickly disappeared back into the woods.
"Well there's nothing here for me to do. I'll be joining them," Fiyero told Glinda.
"See you tonight?" She asked.
"Don't wait up," he said before heading back into the woods. He knew that he was about to hurt the blonde but he knew he had no choice.
