This is my new story and I had this idea floating around my head for quite some time. It's AU because there are werewolves and vampires in this story. It's different I know but you never know how it's going to turn out unless you put it out on the block. Elphaba is part of the vampire clan and rescued Glinda from some rogue werewolves but what she doesn't know is that she rescued an enemy. They don't know that they are enemies and to make matters worse they start to fall for each other. This is going to be Gelphie. So if you don't like then stop reading and look for another story. There will be some gore but nothing over the top and implied situations but that's later on in the story. You have ben throughly been warned. Watch as the story unfolds before you. Please read and enjoy. Oh, almost forgot...I don't own wicked and never will.
A foot smashed into a small puddle of water, spraying it along the paved way, as the person who made the disturbance ran faster. Their breathing was labored and fear was running fast through their veins. A couple seconds later huge, grey paws pounded in the puddle as they gave chase. Their blue eyes looked around to see any place to get rid of the things that were chasing them. Multiple howls came from behind them and they made a small gasp, that sound very close. A young woman with blonde hair cursed underneath her breath; she knew it was dangerous to be out at night with them lurking about waiting for the time to hunt.
The blonde made a sharp turn to the right, hoping it would slow them down, and pushed her already tired body even faster. Her heart was beating a mile minute when she heard them pounding after her. It didn't work and now she was going to get it. To make it worse her foot got caught up on upturn stone and she slammed to the ground. The blonde whimpered in pain as she tried to move and get a chance to survive again. Pain ripped through her knee as she collapsed back onto the cold ground. She heard howls of victory when they saw her prone body just lying on the ground. The blonde closed her eyes and waited for them to take her.
"Now, this isn't fair at all. All of you chasing a poor, defenseless girl. I can't let you take her you scum of the werewolves. You guys make me sick." A feminine voice spat out behind the blonde. The blonde turned her head around to see the back of a person standing in front of her with a defensive posture as three werewolves snarling at the person. The woman rolled her brown eyes at the useless intimidation and bared her fangs to show her warning not to push their luck. Her hand rested on the hilt of her sheathed sword just incase they decided too big headed. The werewolves snarled and spat but they backed off, they didn't want to get into a fight with a vampire over some girl.
The woman relaxed at three werewolves getting smaller but her hand didn't leave her sword until she couldn't see them anymore. Cowards, that's what they were cowards and she hated them for it. They were too afraid to take her on and she was looking for a good fight. It's been a while since she last fought one of them and she had that itch to throw down with them. So when she saw that they were chasing a poor human down for food she decided to step in and take of them before they hurt the girl.
"Pity." She whispered as she dropped her hand away from her weapon and hid her fangs.
Her ears picked up the small whimpers of pain coming from behind her and turned around to see the blonde, the one the werewolves were chasing, trying to get into a standing position but failing miserably. The vampire felt a pang of remorse for this pitiful creature and decided to help her out. She walked up to the struggling blonde and knelt down to see what the problem was. Blue eyes widen at her savior coming down to help them. She has never been so happy be rescued by this person, she thought she was a goner.
"Oh, thank you Miss…"
"Elphaba." Elphaba finished for her. The blonde gave a surprised look at the name but smiled happily. Elphaba, that was such an exotic name for a woman. She saw the dark, brown eyes sweeping over her body for any injuries and was entrapped at such intense gaze it held.
"Miss Elphaba." The blonde finished with a breathless like quality. "That's such an exotic name"
Elphaba blinked a couple of times at the compliment and looked upward to the blonde to only be frozen at a piercing gaze in the blue eyes. She felt something twinge in her chest and darted out a pink tongue to wet her dry lips. Who was this goddess sitting in front of her with those golden locks, soft blue eyes, and porcelain like skin that was glowing underneath the moonlight?
"What's your name?" Elphaba asked, her eyes never breaking from the hypnotic blue ones. She has never met someone so beautiful before and she slid her hands away from the blonde's eyes. The hands were hit by the moonlight and showed off that the hands were green. The blonde was the first to look away and cast her eyes away from the brown eyes that held her still. She cleared her throat and looked back to the green woman.
"Glinda."
'Glinda.' Elphaba thought to herself, she liked the way it sounded in her head and she was sure it would just roll off her tongue when she spoke it as well. Elphaba looked away from the blonde and spotted what was causing her not being able to walk. Her left knee looked swollen and, the green witch swallowed hard, was bleeding too. The vampire breathed in the sweet aroma of the blood and had to suppress the urge to drink it up. She has trained herself not to drink the blood of humans as she couldn't dare take a life. Though she has gotten mocked by it from her fellow vampires she stood strong. But this was different. Glinda's blood smelled very much like the freshest fruit in all of Oz and Elphaba was sure that if she tasted it, it would be like drinking the nectar that only gods could drink.
"Well, Miss Glinda it seems you hurt your knee and it's not safe out here. Why don't I take you to my place where I can help you." Elphaba said as she tore off a piece of her clothing and wrapped it around the bleeding area both to stop it and to block out the aroma. Glinda looked like she was going to protest this and say she was going to be all right. The blonde saw a pleading look in the brown eyes, her heart beat started to go fast, and she gave in right away. She nodded her head and mouthed her consent for help. Elphaba felt relief wash over her body at this, she didn't want to leave Glinda alone and let those savages get after her again. There was something about this blonde that made Elphaba feel compelled to protect her and she just met her.
"Ok then. I'm going to pick you up and get you safely to my place." Elphaba replied with a huge smile on her face. This woman was making her smile, a thing she rarely does any more. Glinda returned it brightly and nodded her head. The vampire grabbed hold of the blonde, making sure she had a secure grip, and with her vampire strength picked Glinda up with ease. Glinda squeaked at the sudden movement and wrapped her arms around the neck area. Elphaba swore she thought her dead heart started to beat again at this. Why was this woman making her react in such away? Elphaba moved that thought out of her head as she tried to concentrate on walking back to her place.

Elphaba grunted softly when she laid Glinda gently onto her bed as Glinda reluctantly retracted her arms off of the vampire's neck. Elphaba got a whiff of the blonde's scent and it made her want to breath it more. It was essence of the rare Gilikin rose. This woman must be well off for having such a mind numbing smell.
"I'll get the things I need for your knee then I will start a fire to get this room warmed up. It's always so cold at night." Elphaba told Glinda what she was going to do. The blonde smiled and moved her head up and down to show she understood. Elphaba resisted the urge to kiss the blonde's forehead and left very quickly. When Glinda knew she was alone she slumped into the bed and put a hand to her chest. She didn't know what was going on but when Elphaba was holding onto her, her pulse started to race, her heart was pounding in her chest and her stomach felt like she had butterflies flying around in her stomach.
The blonde ran a hand through her blonde locks and gave a soft sigh. This needed further thinking about. Glinda sat in silence as her eyes adjusted to the darkness of the room. She was very thankful for the green woman for saving her life and would need to repay her somehow. The blonde snapped her head towards the entrance off the room when she heard boots stomping on the ground.
"I'm back." Elphaba said the moment she graced the room with supplies in hand. She tried to get the stuff as soon as she could because of the paranoia of werewolves attacking at any moment and she was leaving Glinda vulnerable in her room. Glinda grinned at the vampire in greeting and just watched her scurry about to start the fire. It only took a couple minutes for Elphaba get a nice roaring fire started in the fireplace. The blonde blinked her eyes multiple times when she saw the glow of the fire cast onto Elphaba's body. She thought it was the trick of the light coming off the fire but when her eyes finally adjusted from the light.
"You're green." Glinda exclaimed in shock. Elphaba winced and backed into the shadows. She cursed herself in forgetting about how the blonde would react to her natural skin tone. The vampire hoped that the blonde won't start making fun of her because of it. This was a very sensitive subject and she prayed that there was one person who won't make fun of her. The other vampires in her clan always try to make a jib at her when ever she graced the area and Elphaba made them shut up. Glinda motioned Elphaba to come back into the light, she wanted to see it again just to make sure she wasn't crazy.
The green woman took very hesitant steps back into the light and stood there waiting to be scrutinize again. Glinda was left breathless at seeing the green skin glow in the light of the fire. By Oz, this woman was beautiful. Not only was the skin gorgeous, the dark locks that set on Elphaba's head seemed so soft and silky that Glinda wanted to get up off the bed to run her hand through it. Elphaba started to feel very uneasy and self conscious the more Glinda stared at her. She didn't like it when somebody stared at her because she looked different. From all the prodding, the hurtful words, and rude comments, it made her harden and grow a sharp tongue that could cut skin deep.
"Are you done staring? I'm not a damn animal to be gawked at." Elphaba snapped harshly. Glinda visible flinched at the razor sharp words and looked away with tears shimmering in her eyes. She wasn't use at having spiteful words being hurled at her and it made her heart hurt. Elphaba felt instance remorse at this, a feeling she wasn't use to having in her body, and started to go to Glinda to apologize.
"I was just in awe of your beauty, Miss Elphaba. I didn't mean to stare."
The vampire halted on those words as she, now, stared at Glinda. She couldn't comprehend what she was just told. This had to be some sort of cruel joke. She even thought her green skin a curse and one person thought it beautiful. She must have heard wrong.
"Come now, Miss Glinda, surely you think my skin as ugly as I think it is. I'm not beautiful at all." Elphaba replied trying to convince the blonde to see her point of view on her green skin. Glinda violently shook her head no and connect her eyes to Elphaba's. The vampire took a step back at the intensity that was in the blue eyes. Who was this person?
"I don't know who told you that to make you think like that but it's certainly not ugly. It makes you unique and to me it's beautiful." Glinda shot back strongly all the while thinking why she was saying these things when she barely knew this woman standing in front of her. Elphaba ran her tongue over her fangs, her green skin wasn't the only thing that makes her unique. Glinda didn't need to know who she really was. She didn't want to scare her off when she really wanted to get to know her for some reason she still didn't know why.
"You're the first then, Miss Glinda." Elphaba replied softly as she started to walk towards the blonde to take care of her injury. Glinda didn't comment after that and let the vampire attend to her injury. She made some painful groans and moans as Elphaba tried to be as gentle as she could while trying to ignore the smell of fresh blood swirling around her head. It left the green woman mentally exhausted when she was done addressing to the wound. The urge to drink Glinda's blood was so strong it actually caught Elphaba off guard. She usually could easily surpass that vampire urge in her but some how it was extremely difficult this time around.
"There we go all done. You sprained it pretty good and you are welcomed to stay until you are completely healed." Elphaba said as she started to gather up the items that she used to make the injury better. Glinda looked highly uneasy at the offer and bit her bottom lip in worry. Elphaba looked back to the blonde when there was silence behind her. Her eyes soften at the look gracing Glinda's face and decided to change her offer just a bit. It must be hard to accept such an offer from a person you just met.
"Look just stay the night. I'm not comfortable sending you out there were it's dangerous. You can tell me then if you want to stay until you are better." Elphaba said. Glinda visibly relaxed and sent a grateful look back to the vampire. The raven haired beauty felt another smile gracing her face, this woman has made her smile twice in one night. She has got to be either gifted or special for this to happen. Elphaba walked up to Glinda and pressed her lips against the blonde's forehead. The blonde inhaled sharply at the gesture and the coldness the lips had to it. Her heart went sky rocketing as the butterflies in her stomach went into a frenzy. The vampire was surprised at how warm the skin was underneath her lips and it made her keep her lips there more then they should have been.
"Goodnight, Glinda." Elphaba whispered against the skin before kissing it again. Glinda was breathing heavily as she watched the green woman leave the room. Why was she reacting like this? She didn't even know her that well. Glinda laid down on the bed and couldn't fall asleep because her mind was racing about the person saved her life today. When Elphaba came back into the room when morning came all to fast she found the room empty.
