This idea came to me in my dream last night. So I guess you can say I dreamt this fanfic chapter...weird :P I keep getting new fanfic ideas...its insane. Sorry this chapter is short... the next chapter should be longer. Well hope you enjoy! As Always -GreenGirl16


Elphaba ran through the dark forest that bordered the outskirts of Oz. Soon she would come face to face with an enormous desert that she would have to cross. She was frantic to get out of Oz before sunrise. It seemed unlikely, but it had to be done.

Elphaba thought about all the things she had done in her life, defying the Wizard, saving Boq, only to have him turn against her. Her thoughts turned to Nessa. She was supposed to watch over her sister, but she had failed and she still felt enormous guilt over it. Then there was Yero… he had sacrificed himself for her safety. She felt so bad. The guards had killed him and it was all because he had helped her. Sure, she had recited a spell to try and save him, but the spell hadn't worked.

Suddenly there was a noise in the bushes. Elphaba froze in fear. She watched as a figure came out of the bushes towards her and then fell, tumbling across the ground. She got a closer look at the figure, the scarecrow? "Could you help me out here," the scarecrow asked. Elphaba's eyes widened, but she helped him up. Hadn't he been one of the witch hunters? Why wasn't he attacking her?

"Thanks," the scarecrow replied with a smile.

"Aren't you going to kill me or something? You were a friend of Dorothy's right, a witch hunter," Elphaba questioned not exactly sure she wanted to know the answer.

"Yeah I was a friend of Dorothy's, but I never wanted to kill you. I don't know, but I have this weird feeling that is telling me that you're not truly wicked," the scarecrow explained.

Elphaba smiled than glanced at the moon becoming lower in the sky. "I have to go," she explained and then started walking away quickly. The scarecrow started to follow her. She stopped and turned around to face him, "what," she questioned.

"Do you mind if I come with you? You seem really kind and it just feels right," the scarecrow told her.

Elphaba glanced around nervously. Could she trust him? Her mind raced with so many different thoughts. Then a little voice in her head told her to let him come with her. Elphaba took a deep breath, "Alright you can come, but you will have to hurry."

"Okay, will do," the scarecrow said perking up and following her only to trip again.

Elphaba bent down and took his hand to help him up. The minute they made contact a weird feeling shot throughout Elphaba's body. She decided to ignore it. Then they both took off down the path, hand in hand, into the dark woods.
