Disclaimer: I don't own Phantom of the Opera or Wicked.

Remember: Keep your hand at the level of your eyes, and nothing matters but knowing nothing matters.

A/N: I have read The Phantom of the Opera, Phantom, and Wicked. I have seen Phantom onstage and I own the soundtracks to both Phantom and Wicked. Therefore, as I haven't seen Wicked yet, Elphaba's side of the story is based off the soundtrack, what I've heard through her voice. However, a few bits from the book may be thrown in as well.

Two Sides of Wicked

Prologue

The great and terrifying Phantom of the Opera now sat hunched in a wing-backed throne overlooking the lake. A liquor bottle had smashed to pieces on the stone floor beside him not two minutes earlier, but he didn't care. Through the haze created by an alcohol-induced stupor, his brain processed one thing:

She is gone…

She chose him…

She is gone…

But she will return…

She is gone…

I will bring her back.

Elphaba stared stonily out of the rain-pelted window, her cloak close about her shoulders. Tears would no longer come. She refused to believe he was dead. Elphaba turned away from the window, back to an enormous leather-bound book sprawled open on a desk. Denial is the first step, she reminded herself. The winds howled against the glass as she hissed a chant:

Eleka nahmen nahmen atum atum eleka nahmen…

Eleka nahmen nahmen atum atum eleka nahmen…

"I will find you, Fiyero!"

A/N: If anyone who has seen Wicked is reading this and has any comments whatsoever, please tell me. I try to find all the information I can, but there is a certain limit. Ideas, questions, comments… leave a review.

PS: I love Idina Menzel and Gerry Butler, so that's who these characters will be based on. (just a little FYI)
