That's how You Know
A/N My first Wicked Christmas fic! I decided to give Elphaba somebody to love in this since she and Flyero didn't work out.
It was nearly Christmas in Oz and everybody was happy except for a certain somebody in the Wicked West.
Elphaba was feeling miserable. She missed Flyero and Galinda but knew she couldn't go back to the Emerald City after what had happened besides the Witch hunters would come after her.
But she heard the flying monkeys scream loudly as they brought somebody to her. They were wearing christmas stuff.
It was a man in a black cloak. He had short wavy hair, mysterious eyes and slender.
"That's strange.
Why would somebody like him be in my neck of the woods?
Wait.... I sense magic in him. Maybe the Witch hunters were after him too like me.
He has wounds, probably from escaping." Elphaba thought as she put him on a spare bed.
She was very curious about him.
But in the Emerald City, the Wizard had summoned Galinda because he wanted to talk to her about something important.
"What is it your Wizardness?" she asked him.
The Wizard sighed before speaking.
"My son Izia has ran away from here.
I talked to him about being Wizard when I died but he wasn't keen on the idea.
I'm worried that if he meets a certain somebody, she'll convince him to be against me and I can't let that happen!" he said upset.
Galinda understood but she knew Elphaba wasn't as evil as everybody thought, just misunderstood and wanting to make good until the Wizard had crossed her.
But she didn't want to cross the Wizard because he was the one who'd made her Galinda the Good and made her popular in Oz.
She didn't want it taken away from her.
Elphaba smiled seeing him come around. His eyes seemed to glow with magic.
He was startled but relieved looking at her.
"It's okay, I won't hurt you.
My name is Elphaba Thropp.
Who're you?
What're you doing in the Wicked West?" she said to him.
He laughed at her.
"My name is Izla. I ran away from my father. He lives in the Emerald City. He wanted me to be like him but I don't want to be like him.
That's why I ran away." he replied softly groaning from his wounds.
"It's okay Izla.
Just relax." Elphaba told him.
Later she was looking through the Grimmerie to see if there was anything about love spells. Since her heart was broken nearly by Flyero, she wanted love but was afraid.
She growled not finding anything helpful.
But then she found something that was useful......
