Light and Darkness.

New York City

Camera's flash, people called. As famous movie and Broadway stars from all over New York city gathered around at Radio City Music Hall for the 64th annual Tony awards. Everyone smiling brightly for the cameras as they strutted down the red carpet. Not a single though going through their minds other than

Smile right, perfect face, I look perfect!

That is for all the humans there at the Tony's. What they didn't know was that the head Ozian's themselves were walking along side them. Unheard, Not noticed of their statues. The only thing the humans saw was big time star Kristin Chenoweth, and Norbert Leo Butz not far behind with her daughter Katylin Chenoweth beside her. Idina Menzel walking along side her husband the fabulous Taye Diggs. Last but not least Jennifer Laura Thompson, and Megan Hilty, along with two handsome men. Of course only to them was Dimitri and Zack.

Everyone thinking how amazing they looked and how a group of stars couldn't look happier. But on the inside they were anything but. Worry and fret filled all the Ozian's hearts. Their friend Kerry held prisoner by the veil Zandra, and little Lin still a little weak from her chest wound. But with Megan, Glinda, Elphaba, using their elements as one on it, it dulled it and healed a little bit f it. Amanda Harrison, the Austrailian Elphaba had just been given the element of fire and had been training hours on end with the other Wicthes of Oz to master the element. She actually picked it up quicker than Nessa ever did.

Elphaba frowned thinking back on her sister. How she wished she was here with her, instead of who knows where. Why did her and Rye just have to run off like that. Why couldn't they have stayed with them?

Taye grabbed Idina's hand softly and gave it a soft comforting squeeze, with a smile. She smiled back softly knowing exactly what her Yero was telling her. Everything would be okay and they would find out soon about Nessa.

Kristin looked to her best friend. 'Worried about someone?" She asked, all the people and press canceling out her voice for all to hear. Idina only nodded,

"Three people actually." Idina whispered placing a hand on Kristin's shoulder. Immedately Kristin knew she was talking about her children. Talley and Liir, twins, but so strong and magical. Kristin knew all too well it worried her friend to be away from them.

"They are okay, they are with Manda , Lucy, Arya and Riles." Kirsitn whispered before they all entered the radio city music hall.

Even though all of the ozian's knew they were safe there was always that little bit of fear in the it of their stomach's when they ever came back to the human world. Especially with Lin's markings. Thank oz for magic and a lot of makeup that covered Lin's marks beautifully.

As the show began all of their nerves began to relax, all but ones.

Lin's POV

I sat there at the Tony's so nervously. Why was I so edgy? When did all of this become so nerve racking? I knew the answer but I hated it. I didn't want to think about it, it would only remind me more of Kerry and how much I missed her. I placed my hand on my locket feeling the golden purple rose Daken had given me. Mom of course had seen it but just said

'It was mine to keep." They had really talked to Daken more and are beginning to trust him, which relaxes me a lot. I loved him so much, I just wish he was here.

Sean Hayes then brought me back to reality. As he began to announce the award for best new coming actress.

"Now for the most Interesting award. The award that shows as a newcomer they can try to be as good as us experienced wonderful actors but unfortunately they have to settle for this award."

I listened carefully as he announced the nominees, Megan gripped my hand with excitement when my name was called. I had preformed a few times at Wicked and I was shocked to know I was nominated for it. Sean was a good friend of Mom's so this worked out better. But it didn't work good over with dad when she fake made out with him just a few minutes ago. I couldn't stop laughing about that.

"And the Tony goes to…" Megan gripped my hand with a smile. "Katylin Chenoweth!" My mouth dropped open and I was immediately pulled into Meg's hug and then pushed to go on. I walked slowly in a daze and took the trophy from Sean.

"Um..Wow, I don't really know what to say…Um, I didn't plan anything. Im so shocked." Come on Lin say Something! "I'd like to thank Stephan and everyone for giving me a chance to do this role, and also my best friends, Megan, Jennifer, Dimtir and Zack for always being there. And then..My most amazing family. Norbert, Taye, Idina, and…to my special Mother. Who has always been there, weither I knew it or not. She is the reason why I am here, why I breathe. And I cant thank her enough for what she has done for me." I smiled fake and walked away backstage with Sean another man just at the end of the stage.

"Hey Sean I'll show Katylin back to the press room." Sean smiled, "Great thanks Aaron!" the man Aaron stepped closer.

'Hi Katylin, I'm Aaron Tveit." He smiled as we walked to the press room.

"Hi, nice to meet you. You were in Next to Normal right?" I asked with curiousty, He smiled.

"Yes I was, I was also in Wicked with Kerry Ellis. I'm sure you know her.." My heart stopped and I froze. With Kerry…I turned to face him,

"W-what?" I gripped the Tony to my chest. His smile changed,

"Oh sorry you miss Kerry don't you.? You wish she wasn't held prisoner." Then I got scared, he was…what was he? He pushed me against the wall his finger tracing my cheek and I tensed up in fear, looking away.

"Oh You miss her so badly, I can sense it. I can help you see her. If you'd like. You can be with Daken too the love of your life, no fights, nothing wrong. All of oz will fall at your feet." He moved his mouth to my ear.

"Join us Linda." He whispered in it, making me almost squeak with fear. My breathe was heavy from fear, but I glared at him.

"N-Never." I hissed gripping my charm necklace. I shot out my arm and a blast of air knocked him away. But also cause me some pain. I quickly began to run away but he grabbed my wrist.

"What would you say Linda, don't you want all your dreams to come true. To be happy with your lover. You'll still have your family. No one can hurt you, your chest wont hurt you." Oz that sounded like heaven. No. Its him just trying to play me. He smirked noticing the pain in my eyes. 'Kerry would be free too. You could free her. Just come with me." then I heard a song in my head. It was so relaxing, and….almost temping.

There's a world, there's a world I know

A place we can go where the pain will go away

There's a world where the sun shines each day

There's a world, there's a world out there

I'll show you just where

And in time I know you'll see

There's a world where we can be free

Come with me….

He held out his hand towards me, and I felt so drawn, To be with Daken forever..NO! I couldn't. "G-Get out of my head!" I said weakly.

He smiled softly and urged his hand closer.

"Come with me…There's a world where we can be free…Come with me…" I felt my chest ache in pain. No stop this. In one powerful shot I shot light out of my hands, just wanted him to vanish. The light hit him head on and he just…disappeared.

I let out a breathe of relief.

"LIN! Oh thank Oz! " I heard Megan and Mom's voice. They ran to me and pulled me in their arms.

"Your okay I saw everything from the connection. Thank oz..Your okay." Megan said relieved tighten her embrace on me.

"My lindy, we need to get home. Its time we figure things out for this war. "Mom said on the verge of tears and pulled me into her arms. In my mind I was so scared. What had just happened? Then it clicked.

"She will be mine…"

Zandra.
