Chapter 1

Elphaba sat in her chair, thinking about the day that she left Oz. After leaving their old home, Fiyero and her went to a neighboring land that they named Elphenia. Elphenia is a mostly dark and gloomy place, which was good because it kept the Ozians away.

Though Elphenia is mostly a dark place, there was one place that they found that was very beautiful, and that was where the two made their new home. A few years later, they had a daughter named Niella.

To their surprise, she was perfectly normal. Not a trace of green on her skin at all. She grew up to be a very beautiful girl, but she always longed to go to Oz. This worried Elphaba.

If anyone were to find out that she was daughter of The Wicked Witch of the West, they would surely kill her. Elphaba already lost her sister Nessarose, and she didn't wanna lose anyone else. Elphaba didn't even know if her old friend Glinda was still a friend.

Speaking of Glinda, she wondered if the blonde was alright. It had been so long since she last saw her.

"Mother?" A voice said from behind Elphaba. she turned to see Niella. "Yes Nie?" Elphaba asked, using Niella's nickname. "I know you don't want me to go to Oz, but I really wanna go to school and learn things." Niella said. "Oh, Niella.

I've told you already. It's too dangerous for you there. Besides, I can teach you right here." The green witch told her. "But mom, their are only so many things you can teach me! And I hate being locked up in this place. Please mother, I'll be very careful!" Niella pleaded.

Elphaba sighed, knowing she was right. "Alright. I can send you to my old school. But you must promise me you will never tell anyone that I'm your mother, where you live, or anything else about you or our family. You know the consequences." she instructed her. "Yes mother. I won't even talk to anyone." Niella promised. Elphaba smiled. "Then I'll take you now. But I can only take you so far." she said, getting up from her chair. "Oh, thank you mother!" Niella cried, hugging Elphaba tight...
