Jennie Olivia nay!
Hay all! I just wanna thank you all for your nice reviews! (By the way, this story takes place pretty much after Wicked, but it never occurred to me before when it would take place, so it's officially set after Wicked, musical verse. Anyway, hope you all like the next chapter! –Elphaba
I could feel tears stinging my eyes. I opened them to see where I was headed, and realized I wasn't far from the hideout. My head was shrouded in layers of questions, even more than before; What was happening? Was this man stalking me?How did he know my real name? And if he had seen me around Oz, surely other people had? I let out a loud sob, completely terrified by the situation. Suddenly, I looked up, and could see Fiyero in the distance. The sight of him made me nervous. I couldn't let him see me cry, no…what would he think? He would get suspicious, perhaps frustrated, and it would all result and sorrow.
As I approached him, I wiped my eyes, as if waking up. Apparently, he found to no reason to ask If I had been crying. The evidence was completely extinct. Fiyero wrapped me in his arms, kissing my forehead. I burrowed my face into his clothed chest, feeling safer than I had felt before. I shut my eyes tight, trying to erase the feelings I had experienced before. I held Fiyero tightly, until he pushed me away gently. "Where have you been all night?" he asked, more concerned than I had ever heard him before. I let new tears run down my face. I sobbed, and he held me close.
"I got lost," I lied through my tears." I-I- I didn't know where I was, and I had to retire beside a cave… I'm so sorry!" I gushed. It hurt me to lie to the only person who cared about me, but it hurt me even more to know I would probably never tell him. He patted my back. "Shhh… it's all right, love." He murmured, his hot breath warming the entire I couldn't bare to look at him. Still inside his grasp, I opened my eyes. I gasped.
About 100 yards away, hiding in a bush, was Reeve. He didn't look angry or maniacal, but disappointed. I shuddered and held Fiyero tighter. I looked him in the eye. "I love you." I whispered to him. He kissed me gently. "I love you more." He declared, grinning. I smiled through my tears, and leaned in to kiss him. Time passed, it felt like hours, and we still stood there in the Gillikin Forest, kissing.
When I pulled away, I immediately felt completely guilty. How could I stand here and even look at Fiyero after what had happened? I felt violated and sinful, more than I ever had. I had never felt that way after a night with Fiyero. I know him, and trust him, and love him.
But Reeve… the sick perverted rapist. How could he do that? Take a woman and harass her, and then completely violate her. I cursed him in my head I glanced back at where Reeve was, and I gasped quietly. He wasn't there. I shut my eyes tightly, Fiyero holding me tightly.
My eyes slowly opened as a slight breeze touched my face. I opened my eyes, but all I saw the fresh skin of a male's chest. I curled up closer to Fiyero for more warmth. Stirring a bit, he put the Vinkus scarf around my shoulders. Although it was mainly used in… certain…situations, there was a chill in the air that made me cold. Fiyero draped the scarf around my shoulders, and then placed his hands on my sides. He kissed me gently and then fell into a deep sleep again. I looked down. Fiyero's lower body was clothed, same as mine, although only my corset was on, and it had been loosened, as if someone had been trying to pry it off me. I didn't care if it was Fiyero. I could trust him.
I sat up. Fiyero woke up and sat up next to me, placing his arm around my shoulders. "What's wrong Fae?" he asked gently. "Nothing…I'm fine." I said softly, looking at Fiyero. I looked deep into his eyes.. "Yero…" I murmured softly. He placed a hand on my emerald cheek, stroking it gently. Leaning forward, he kissed the hook of my nose, talking soothingly against it. "Hush Fae…" he cooed a bit drowsily. He seemed to still be half sleeping. His other hand rubbed my still sore side.
I placed my hand on his neck, feeling tears well up in my eyes. I blinked them away, not wanting Fiyero to know. Suddenly, a strange emotion flooded through my body. Fear. Something I had never actually felt before. I feared for…for… the loss of love…an unwanted pregnancy…the pain and suffering of guilt and sorrow…and the feeling of a man's touch. Immediately, I didn't want Fiyero right now. I pushed him away abit too unfriendly. I looked at his face.
Fiyero seemed to be a bit stunned. I knew I had never neglected a night of romance, but I couldn't handle it right now. I kissed him hastily, then turned and lay down again. "Forgive me Fiyero, but I would like to rest. Maybe some other time." I said quietly. He was silent, although I heard him lay down again. I felt bad. I glanced behind me and saw Fiyero's bare back facing me. Turning away, I let silent tears flow don my cheeks, and drifted off to sleep….
A/N Sorry it took soooo long, but it's here, the second chappy! I'm sorta having writers block right now, so…yeah…I'm seeing RENT onstage on July 21st, and I'm seeing Wicked for the second time on July 27th! OMG! Anyways, the next chapter should be up shortly! –Elphie
