This idea struck me while I was mowing the lawn this afternoon. To tell you the truth one of my other stories plot also came to me while I was mowing the lawn. Weird. :\ It's going to be hard having to worry about updating two stories now, but I decided I couldn't wait to post this. Enjoy! As Always -Greengirl16
Glinda the Good walked slowly down the dirt path that led through the forest. She had lilies in her hands and stared at the ground as she walked. She had been dreading this day. The forest started to become less dense and she looked up and saw the clearing ahead. She wasn't sure if she could do this.
She reached the clearing and she could now see the enormous, deserted castle that loomed in front of her. She let out a sigh and took a big shaky breath and continued on the path up to the castle.
Crows loomed in the windows and cawed as she approached the door. The door was nailed shut with now rotted boards. Glinda kicked the boards with her heels she was wearing and the wood snapped. Glinda entered the dark castle.
She headed down the long corridor that was only lit by a small crack in the ceiling. She took a left and walked down yet another hallway and then entered an all too familiar room. Glinda walked over to a certain spot in the room and collapsed. She sat with her hands on her head sobbing. "Oh Elphie, you have no idea how much I miss you. I can't go a day without thinking about you. I just wish…I wish things could have been different."
Glinda sat there for a long time, tears flowing freely down her cheeks. She finally composed her self and laid the lilies she had brought on her grave and removed the dead ones from the last time she had come. Glinda slowed down her shaky breaths and took a glance around at the barren room. Things hadn't been the same since Elphie's death. She would never get over losing her best friend. Supposedly time heals all wounds, but that wasn't true in her case.
Glinda took one last glance around and started heading for the door. Something small caught her eye in corner of the room. She walked over to it and picked it up. It was some piece of crumpled up paper. She opened it up slowly so it wouldn't rip and smoothed it out.
She looked at the faded letters and barely made out:
My dear Fae,
The witch hunters are coming for you. I have a plan how to get you to safety, but you must follow these instructions. There is a bucket in the kitchen fill it with water and leave it in a visible spot near the trap door in the library. The hunters should spot. They believe water can melt you. If all goes as planned, they will splash you with it and then you can "melt" into the trap door that goes to below the castle. They shouldn't expect anything. You can't tell anybody or let anyone find this note. Wait in the trap door for me and I will come to get you and we can leave Oz together. Please Fae, you must understand it's the only thing that might work.
Yours Truly,
Glinda couldn't make out the smudged name. Below the illegible name, another message was written it read: P.S. Your spell worked.
What could that mean, Glinda wondered. She thought about the letter. If the plan written about had worked, that meant Elphie was alive! There was still hope…
Please review and I'll continue, if I don't get reviews this story won't go on... it's up to you.
