Two Worlds Collide

Elphaba's POV

After I faked my own death, I had no choice, but to leave Oz, forever. I was going to bring Fiyero with me, but a few miles just west of Oz, I told him that I couldn't stay with him. I needed to be alone, because, even though I didn't miss many people from Oz, I still missed my best friend, Glinda the Good.

After a few weeks, I found myself where the Wizard had come from—Earth. I sat down alone and angrily thought, everyone will stare at me more here 'cause of my skin. I looked up when I saw a rather tall child—she had to be at least twelve, and, holding out her hand, she said, "Come with me. I can show you a place where you'll fit right in, Elphaba. And I'm only seven." I followed the girl and said, "How do you know my name and that I thought you were twelve?" "I can read minds, and I'm Angel." I smiled gently at the younger girl.

I met her family, but the leader almost said I couldn't stay until I piped up and said, "Please, I've got nowhere else I can go. I can't go home 'cause everyone thinks I'm dead, when I'm not, no water cannot melt and kill me, it just leaves severe burns, and I left the one guy I cared about, because I thought too much of Glinda, my best friend, when I was with him and how much I missed her."

The leader nodded, reluctantly, and I joined her family.
