Finally! I'm writing stories again! I'm taking a break from RENT or Teen Titans and starting a Wicked story. Okay, it's sort of freaky, but it will get better. Also, keep in mind that this is pure make believe! I haven't finished the book yet, so I made it up! Oh well… just read! – Elphaba (P.S. This might not get turned into a story if I don't have enough positive reviews!)
The petite blonde girl skipped joyfully down one of the many elegant streets of the Gillikin Estates. Her springy curls bounced,hopping back and forth over her shoulders. Her canary yellow dress shimmered in the warm sunlight, which flooded the girl's rosy cheeks. Her eyes sparkling, she hummed a merry little tune.. She continued to skip for the next five minutes, until she had reached one of the smaller houses in the area.
It was still elegant, with a freshly cut lawn and flowers hanging from the veranda and balconies. On one of the balconies stood a tall graceful figure. She was slender with long, golden hair that was held up in a high ponytail over a bottom layer of hair that was slightly curly. The woman smiled warmly at Galinda, and Galinda, with a short gasp, ran towards the house. "Mother!" she cried out joyfully. The woman made no attempt to move, but simply stood, waiting.
Inside the house, Galinda ran up the marble staircase, down a marble white hallway, and into a luxurious bedroom, with a ghostly figure standing on the balcony. Galinda rushed into her mother's arms, and her mother held her daughter close. Galinda's mother blue satin dress shimmered in the sunlight. Galinda loved the scent of her mother's perfume. This was a happy moment… happy… nothing could ruin it… but then…
Screams erupted from around the small town. The two females broke their embrace and looked out across the horizon, where flames and smoke began to fill the clear blue sky. Nearby houses were already in the process of burning. It wasn't long until Galinda sniffed the unfamiliar smell of smoke coming from a nearby hallway. Galinda's mother turned to her as she came up with an option.
"Galinda, you must jump."
"What?"
"Jump! Off the balcony!"
"Momsie…are you trying to confusify me?" Galinda asked wearily. Sadly, Her mother shook her head. "I'm afraid not." Galinda looked deeply into her mother's eyes. With a hug and a silent goodbye, Galinda's mother whispered "I love you… I always will.." Tears silently began to run down Galinda's now pale face. "Me too." She whispered back. Suddenly, flames appeared in the doorway. Galinda's mother gestured to the window.
Taking baby steps, Galinda walked over and onto the balcony. Taking one last look at her mother- her mother's sad wave and farewell smile- she was rocked by hysterical sobs. Controlling herself, she took a leap of faith, and jumped off the balcony.
A/N: Okay, that was a little bizarre, but it came to me. The story will change, and I'm not even sure where it's going now, but I'm just glad to be posting/ writing stories again! Plz review!
