A/N the longest I'll ever have – Okay so this is my very first Wicked fanfic that I am planning on posting.
I cannot promise steady posting (I've never been good at that, sorry)
Feel free to PM me with any questions you don't want to put in the replies and I'll do my best to get back to you with answers ^-^
I do not have a Beta so any mistakes are mine and if I am alerted to them I will do my best to go back and edit the chapter when I post the next one.
Changed to M to be safe...
EDIT: This is the edited chapter.
Prologue / Chapter 1
- Everyone Deserves a Chance to Fly!
The sounds of the Gale Force guards growing closer echoed around the attic as Glinda prayed to The Unnamed God that the make shift blockade on the door would hold long enough for them to escape. Glinda looked from the door to Elphaba with wide eyes as she heard her start to chant the levitation spell from the throne room.
"What? Stop!" She cried as she moved to stand over her friend. "This is what started all this in the first place! That hideous levitation spell!"
Elphaba tried to focus on what she was doing but her mind kept slipping to Glinda and how she had to get her out of this mess too, and with Glinda yelling frantically behind her about something she could feel her focus slipping even further. Elphaba panicked when she felt the spell branch off in two separate directions. One going over to the broom she had tried to focus on but the other part moving behind her?
"Sto-" Glinda's cry was cut off by a sudden screech of pain as the blonde collapsed onto the wood floor.
Elphaba looked behind her horrified as the blonde's back started to sport two large bumps. The green woman moved to try to hold to Glinda but the blonde shoved her away screaming again as she desperately reached for her shoulder blades as they seemed to be trying to burst through her skin. The green witch's stomach knotted as she realized the mistake she had made.
Time seemed to slow down for Elphaba as the bones and muscles under Glinda's skin moved and pushed further against her pale skin trying to break free of the confines and grow larger. Bright red welts followed her nails marking many angry trails as she clawed at her back trying to make the pain stop.
With one last almost animalistic screech of pain a pair of featherless wings broke through the skin on Glinda's back and continued to grow to their full size. The blonde looked up to Elphaba from where she lay curled on the floor, tears shining bright in her green eyes as blood ran to the floor from where the newly acquired wings had broken skin.
Elphaba tried to reach out to her friend but her body refused to move, too caught up in the shock of what was happening.
Glinda moaned in agony, her body throbbing in pain as bones and muscles changed and moved to accommodate the wings and the possibility of flight. She had never felt anything like this pain it was as if her entire body was moving in separate directions all at once, slowly pulling her apart.
Elphaba stared on feeling helpless while the smaller woman let out whimpers and screams of pain and the still growing blood covered wings stayed close to her back as she curled up on the floor in agony. After a few moments the wings stopped growing lager and started to grow feathers, that's when Glinda's screams of agony were reduced to sobbed whimpers and shakes as her body still adjusted to the traumatizing pain of turning into part bird.
"G-Glinda?" Elphaba asked quietly but before another word could be said the blonde woman's eyes fell closed with one final groan of discomfort as she fell completely limp on the floor. "No, no!" Elphaba cried as she gathered her friend into her arms, supporting her body as she stood, making sure to be careful of her back.
The green woman looked to the door of the attic as the wood started to break and splinter. The Gale Force's shouting was louder now as they started working on breaking the door to the girls' hiding place down.
Fleeing quickly came back to the forefront of her mind as Elphaba held her hand out for the broom. The broom flew into Elphaba's hand a second later as she willed it to them and before the green witch could stop to think about what she was doing or where she was going, she and Glinda were gliding through the air towards the West on the broom.
Leaving the guards to an empty attic. The only proof the two girls had ever been there, a small pool of blood on the floor where Glinda had been lying just moments before.
