Chapter 2
AN: Thank you for the reviews I received on my first chapter. It gave me the confidence to write this chapter. Enjoy.
Glinda the Good's P.O.V
"I'm not Elphaba I'm her daughter, my name is Glinda, and she named me after you" She explained. She's alive! How is she? Is she still with Fiyero? Does she have other children? I thought before millions of other questions filled my mind. I must have been standing there for a while before Glinda Jr shook me out of it.
"She is alive and well" Glinda Jr whispered "I can't discuss where we are, not here at least. Go dismiss your guards and meet me here in 15 minutes, I will take you to her but I won't tell you anything about why she came here that is not for me to tell"
"I understand "I whispered as I went to go find the head of the guards. It didn't take me long to find him panicking about my where abouts. I explained that I was with an old friend and was going back to visit her but I did not want to be escorted. With reluctance he let me go.
Glinda Jr and I walked through the forest in silence until I blurted out "Why aren't you green? "Shocked of what I said I covered my mouth while she looked at me puzzled.
"OH!" she exclaimed as she reached in her bag and pulled out a bottle of oil and rag. As she wiped her face with the rag the creamy color of her skin turned into the same beautiful green skin as her mother. When she finished she put the items back in her bag and removed her gloves which revealed the same beautiful green color on her hands.
We continued walking as I studied her. She definitely is her mother's child, not because of the green skin but her beautiful features. She had the same stern look on her face I've seen her mother wear a million times. She had her mother's beautiful brown eyes and raven tresses.
" It's not much but its home " Glinda Jr said pulling me out of my trance. The tiny cottage she called home was pretty run down with a decent garden on the side. I would never live here in a million years but knowing Elphie she probably has lived in worse conditions. "Stay here let me tell my mom I brought someone home that she will want to meet, I come and get you in a few minutes." She entered the tiny cottage leaving me to my thoughts. I have no idea what to say. I mean what are you supposed to say to a person you have thought to be dead for 19 years? As the minutes passed by the not in my stomach got tighter and tighter and the faster I started to pace. Finally I heard the cottage door open and Glinda Jr walking out.
"She doesn't know that you are here, I just told her that someone important wanted to meet her." She said "She's going to be pretty shocked but I know that she's going to be really happy to finally be reunited with you, Good Luck Glinda" she said as she walked past me.
I slowly made my way to the door with my heart beating faster that a humming birds wings. When I Reached the door I took a huge breath and knocked lightly. "Coming " I heard her beautiful voice say less than a minute later the door swung open amd Elphaba had the most shocked look on her face. We must have stayed that for at least 10 minutes before I couldn't wait anymore and launched myself in her arms.
She slowly wrapped my waist and then we simultaneously burst into tears. Once my tears had run out I slowly backed out of her arms and got a better look at my best friend, she was still beautiful her face had a few lines of age and a few streaks of grey in her hair but she still looked like the woman I fell in love with. She was worth ruling Oz for all these years, all those nights I spent crying myself to sleep, and touring Oz " to see the wonderful citizens of Oz" but in reality it was hoping that one day she would be in the crowd even when I though she was dead. I never got to tell Elphaba how she felt before she was declared wicked and ran away, the only thing keeping me from kissing her was Fiyero.
"I –I don't know where to start" Elphaba said breaking the silence
"How about how you faked your death and why you lied to me all these years?" I said harshly
" Faking my death was easy , I knew that she knew water was my weakness so when I knew she was about to kill me I pretended to melt and hid in a trap door" she said
" I never wanted to lie to you Glinda, I love you more than you know , your my best friend it killed me not to tell you but Fiyero always somehow talked out of it , and when Glinda was born I couldn't risk her safety, it still bother me when she goes into town alone. I think about the guilt I have lying to you every day. I'm so sorry Glinda"
"I understand why you did it , I would never want you to risk you or your family's life for me. By the way where is Fiyero?"
"He left us a few years ago" Elphaba replied with a sad look on her face.
"Why?"
"It's a long story but it starts after we ran away. We decided to stay in Oz because it was a better option than Quox. I remember reading about the Gillikin forest being mostly uninhabited and the small town of Traum being close by. We found the cottage abandoned so we fixed it up and plant a garden of vegetables and other edible plants. Shortly after we go things settled I found out I was pregnant with Glinda. We were so happy in the months of the pregnancy. When she finally was born we were a happy little family , When Glinda was 4 Fiyero started to get depressed because he missed his family and took to alchohol to help his depression. About 8 years later Fiyero was a alcoholic, I started to have doubts that our relationship would last. One day he came into our bedroom and started accusing me of cheating , when I told him I wasn't , he called me a liar and slapped me across the face. His abuse continued for a few more moths then by some miracle he sobered up one day. He took me in his arms sobbing how sorry he was and swearing he would change. I forgave him for our relationship and Glinda and things seemed to be looking up. 2 years later and Fiyero was happy and sober. One day I come In and he has aa almost empty bottle of Whiskey. " I knew you were cheating on me!" he yelled "Ive been Faithful to you this whole time, where is this coming from?' ' If you are so faithful why were you moaning her name in your sleep?" "I knew you were in love with her" he continued yelling as he slapped me and keep hitting me . 'Dad stopp' I heard Glinda yell ' Shut up you little bitch' he yelled as he punched her ,knocking her out cold. That was my final straw he could hit me all he wanted but how dare he touch my baby. I don't remember how I kicked him out because I was so furious but after I kicked him out I never saw him again, it's been about four years"
I was in tears as she finished. "I'm so sorry Elphie" I whispered as I pulled her in for a big hug. We stayed in the embrace for a while until I spoke up "Are you really in love with the girl whose name you moaned in your sleep?"
"Yes but I haven't told her how I feel" she said blushing furiously
"Well if you never tell her she will never know"
"I'm scared if I tell her she will run away"
"How could she run away from someone as amazing as you?" I said "I would kill to be with you" I said blushing , hoping she won't notice what I said. As im freaking out mentally I soon feel soft lips on my own , the feeling is amazing but ends so soon. I open my eyes and she is smiling like I have never seen her smile before. "I've been in love with you for almost 20 years, I never stopped loving you even when I was with Fiyero I could have never loved him the way I love you" Elphaba whispered caressing my cheek with her right hand.
"I've been in love with you since day one" I whisper "Every year I did the tour was not to see the citizens of Oz it was a secret prayer that you would be in the crowd, I never want to be away from you for the rest of my life"
"I love you, Glinda Upland "she whispered
"I love you, Elphaba Thropp" I whispered
We spent the rest of the night cuddling on the couch cuddling, talking and mostly kissing. This is the happiest I have ever felt.
