Chapter 1
The night was peaceful and clear. Almost nothing could break the silence. Elphaba and Fiyero sat there in the forest, staring into each other's eyes. They were remembering their time at Shiz University, how Glinda thought they were dead, how they had escaped and were on the run.
Everything was so quiet. "Fiyero…" Elphaba whispered. It had been so long since she had seen him as a human." Elphie…" Fiyero said, almost as a joke.
Elphaba laughed. "It's been a long time since I've been called that." She looked away. "Fiyero,"
"What?"
"Tell me…"
"Tell you what?"
"Do you- do you think that- Glinda has forgotten about us?"
Fiyero was speechless. He had not heard Glinda's name for over four years.
"Elphaba…" but he was cut off but Elphaba. "Stop!" she said, and sniffed the air. "Do you smell that?" She asked
"What?"
"That. It smells like… like-"
"Smoke." Fiyero cut her off. They looked at each other, horrified. Elphaba loked farther behind Fiyero and saw redness in the distance, coming on fast.
"Run!" she shouted and they began running. They ran as fast as they could, because the fire was spreading fast. But soon, they approached a lake, and couldn't run any farther, especially in Fiyero's condition. "It'll take forever to get around it." Fiyero said. He turned to Elphaba. "You have to go."
"What?" Elphaba said, bewildered. "And leave you here to die." "If one of us has to die, it should be me. And it's better if only one of us dies rather than both."
"Fiyero, no!" Elphaba cried, tears splashing down her cheeks. "Go!" Fiyero screamed as the fire was only about fifteen feet away. She hugged Fiyero tightly and jumped into the lake. She swam across to the very end, but when she was about half-way she heard Fiyero scream, his last.
"Fiyero- no!" She screamed as she continued swimming in the lake. She began to sob as she tried to swim on, but her sobbing made it difficult to swim. She stopped for a minute and looked back to where the fire stopped. Once she reached the end, she stood on the lake's banks, looked back at the other end where Fiyero took his last breath, and sobbed harder than ever
Hope u like it! Remember elphaba did not melt, so she can swim. Fiyero would have died either way- so.. its sad…
