Chapter 1

The last thing Fiyero herded was Glinda's cries for the guards not to hurt him. As soon as they where far enough they let Fiyero down from the pole he was tied to. Two guards held his arms and forced him to his knees. As a guard came up to him and looked him straight in the eye "Well Fiyero Tiggular you know why you are here don't you?" Fiyero looked up from the guard

"You should know I will never tell you" the guard laughed at his answer. He knelt down to Fiyero and looked at him

"Where did she go?" the guard asked Fiyero didn't hesitate with his answer

"I will never tell you!" The guard stood up and kicked Fiyero in the stomach. Fiyero bent over in pain.

"Where did the wicked witch go!" he demanded Fiyero shook his head and yelled

"That's not her name!" The guard took out a knife and touched it to Fiyero's leg

"Where is she? I know you know!" he asked quietly. Fiyero looked at the guard then at the knife so close to his left leg

"I do know I just won't tell a basted like you" the guard ran the knife down Fiyero's leg leaving a long large gash. Fiyero couldn't help but yell in pain.

"Tell me!" the guard yelled as he kicked Fiyero in ribs.

"NO!" he yelled back. The guard looked at the other six men there.

"Do what you must with him" he said and backed away. One guard went up to Fiyero and stepped on his right hand with all his weight, then the man holding his left hand twisted it behind Fiyero's back and whispered in his ear

"You sure you don't want to tell us?" he stared laughing. Fiyero only shook his head un-able to speak. Soon the other 3 guards jumped in except for one who just sat there watching in horror. The main guard came up to him.

"Why aren't you doing as I asked" the guard snapped. The man looked at Fiyero's face the only part of his body that was not covered in blood.

"B-because I d-don't want t-t-to hurt h-him" the young man stuttered.

"If you don't do as ordered I will make sure this is you!" he pointed to Fiyero now on the ground and handed the young guard a rock. The young guard bowed his head and went up to Fiyero he mouthed the words 'I'm sorry' as he threw the rock at Fiyero's face. The punches and blows kept coming. One blow made blood come out of his mouth. Soon there was a puddle of blood under him, but the men kept hitting. "Stop!" the main guard said and walked over to where Fiyero lay breathing heavily he knelt down beside him and whispered "this can all be over if you just say where she went" Fiyero smirked and grabbed the collar of the guards shirt and punched him in the face.

"No" he said simply the guard touched his face and felt some blood come out of his nose.

"That's it!" he yelled "Beat him until he has no more breath!" and the guard left with out another word leaving the other guards to finish the job.

"Go now!" Elphaba had never heard him yell like that before and especially at her, so she knew he was serous. She got on her broom and flew as fast as she could. But stopped when she heard a scream and imminently knew it was Fiyero. She tried not to turn back she didn't want to watch he love be beaten. She only had one person to go to Glinda. She turned back to where the house fell on Nessa to find Glinda crying there. Elphaba walked up to her and said "We have to find him" Glinda looked up at her former friend and hugged her

"Oh Elphie, I'm sorry! You have the right to love each other and I support you! You are my best friend!" they both let go of each other when they heard another scream of pain coming from Fiyero. They heard a guard come out from the field so Elphaba and Glinda hid behind the house that fell on Nessa. The guard came out holding his nose

"Stupid little brat! Who is he to hit me! Well he is getting what he deserves that basterd" the guard mumbled to him self. Elphaba and Glinda still hid behind the house after the guard left just to be safe. Elphaba couldn't take it anymore! Fiyero's screams of pain where getting closer together, she broke down and started crying. Glinda looked over to her best friend

"Oh Elphie," she said in a calming tone

"No! Don't even try to calm me down! He is being beaten out there and all because of me! He is in pain Glinda!" Glinda was about to speak but was cut off by another scream of pain from Fiyero. What could she say? He was in pain, they where hurting him! Soon after they heard no more yelling as the guards came out of the corn field.

"Do you think he's dead?" one asked

"No he was breathing when we left him, its better let him suffer" one other said. Elphaba had to hold back her tears

"Yah but I sort of feel bad for the kid I mean he was only 19" another said

"Don't be he's a trader, come on let's go and tell the wizard what happened" and they left. Elphaba quickly ran into the field

"Elphie what are you doing!" Glinda called to her friend

"Finding Fiyero, they said he was still breathing!" Glinda put a hand on Elphaba's shoulder and sighed

"That doesn't mean much Elphie" Elphaba turned away hiding her tears and ran unto the field. Glinda fallowed

"Beat his till he is out of breath!" the guard left with out another word Leaving the other guards to finish the job. Fiyero laid there shaking with blood every where. The guards continued to beat him. One grabbed his right leg and cracked it three times, Making Fiyero yell so loud in pain. Tears started to come down his cheeks, but the strikes continued one repeatedly kicked him in the ribs making him yell every time. After about an hour of it they looked at the groaning Fiyero on the ground, realizing that if they left him he would die, so that's exactly what they did. Fiyero couldn't take the pain anymore, it was more then anything he had felt in his entire life. He just kept yelling not so that people could hear him, no it was because he was in pain. He realized he was going to die here and that was his last thought before he went unconscious.
