A/N: I don't own Wicked (no matter how much I want to), I only own the characters I make up. And my sister edited the story, and added most of the thoughts. Oh, and just so you don't get confused POV stands for 'Point Of View', and Linda is Elphaba's daughter, and Fabala is Glinda's daughter.
Chapter 1: A Look to the Past, A Hope for the Future
"Whatever happens, promise me you won't try to clear my name." she looked me in the eyes with such a pitiful look. . . I could hardly stand it.

How long ago that seems now. I can't remember anything that happened after that. It was all a blur. Tears, screams, more tears. And now here I am, about to break the promise I made almost ten years ago. I, who have a family, about to make what could either be the worst or best decision of my life.
