This chapter is pretty short but the next one will be longer, thanks for reading!
ABOUT TWENTY MINUETS LATER
I awoke on the ground in a dizzy fog as the memories of the previous minuets flooded back into my mind. I attempted to sit up but was quickly but gently pushed back on to the ground by a green hand.
"Careful, careful. I wouldn't sit up if I were you" Elphaba warned.
"Thanks" I said smiling gratefully at the tall girl.
"You seemed pretty freaked out when I got here" A familiar voice said.
"Sadie?" I asked instantly recognizing the voice.
"The one and only" she said smiling at the collage students around her.
"What are you doing here?" I asked weakly.
"Well…" Sadie said exchanging tensing looks with Elphaba "I knew about this the entire time"
"What!" I yelled attempting to sit up again to get closer to my sister.
"Don't you dare" Elphaba warned.
What else is Sadie hiding from me? I thought.
I lied back down and ran my fingers through my hair, a nervous habit of mine.
This has been one heck of a day.
"Care to explain?" I asked gesturing to the young adults surrounding my twin.
Sadie opened her mouth to speak but Nessa quickly silenced her with her hand.
"I think that should be our job" Nessa said exchanging knowing nods with her friends.
"Fine by me" Sadie said while turning her head to waggle her eyebrows at Fiyero, which earned her a menacing glare from Glinda.
"I'll start" Elphaba said walking towards me and kneeling down to my level.
"13 years ago when you were born when they were giving you a necessary checkup we found that your blood was abnormal. We convinced the doctors it was some sort of new blood type, but it was much different than that. You had energy in your blood, some sort of immortality much like the one of a sorceress. We decided not to tell you until you were old enough to understand." Elphaba said
"W-Whoa" I stuttered out.
"Yeah, that's what I said" Sadie said nodding in agreement.
"Ok, first of all why were you here in the first place?" I asked.
"We wanted to visit this world and-" Glinda started but I quickly cut her off.
"How did you even get here? You are fictional characters!" I questioned impatiently.
"That's a long story. And we will cross that bridge when we get there" Elphaba said calmingly.
"Sorry, continue." I said nodding at Glinda.
"As I was saying" She said with a touch of irritability.
"We came to visit because we were searching for someone to help us in the fight against the wizard. You see, it was foretold that a war between the wizard and anyone who didn't support him would arise in thirteen years time. We were looking for someone young that we could grow up and train. We would have taken you back but you belonged to someone else, and you can't get to Oz without your power, which wouldn't have developed until later."
All I could do was nod.
"Where does Sadie fit in to all of this?" I asked.
"Well, since you were her twin we assumed she had the same quality, but she didn't. So we decided that when Sadie was six we would tell her of your power. We told her this so she could keep an eye on you and out of trouble since we cant be here all the time. She helped us secretly train you and often came here for frequent updates." Nessa said.
"She was defiantly large portion of the brains behind this" Elphaba added giving her a knowing pat on the back.
"Thanks" Sadie said smiling sheepishly.
"Oh, um wow" I said staring around aimlessly trying to collect this new information.
"Sadie?" I asked.
"Yes?" she replied.
"Pinch me."
"Why?" She questioned.
"Because, I believe this is a dream, now pinch me." I said firmly while holding out my arm for her to pinch.
"uh"
Before Sadie could respond, Boq, who had been sitting quietly in the back, ran up and quickly pulled my arm and attempted to lower me back down to where I had begun to sit up.
"I think that's enough excitement for one day" He said softly while lowering my slowly to the ground.
"Ya think?" I said forcefully yanking my arm out of his grasp.
"Ow!" Boq cried while tenderly rubbing his arm.
Fiyero snorted.
"Shut up!" Boq said glaring at Fiyero.
"Highly unlikely" Fiyero said while waggling his eyebrows mischievously causing Glinda to burst into a fit of giggles.
"Boys, enough" Elphaba said through gritted teeth.
Nessa cracked a smile seeing their guilty looks.
"Stay with that one" Elphaba said to Nessa pointing to the munchkin boy who was still nursing his wound.
"You can count on it" Nessa said pulling Boq into a hug, which took him by quite, some surprise.
"I have a question" I sated hoping to collect their attention.
"Yes?" Elphaba said throwing one last glare at Fiyero before directing her attention to me.
"Why do I keep getting all these dizzy spells?" I asked.
"Because, I'm here." Fiyero said cockily while throwing his hands up to express his significance.
"No" Elphaba said angrily while slapping the prince's arm causing him to wince.
"Hey!" Fiyero cried.
"Deal with it" Elphaba said sticking her tongue out at him before turning her attention back to me.
"The energy comes in fast burst that will exhaust your body, its not unlikely for you to go in and out of consciousness from time to time, why?" she asked.
"Because" I said wobbling over to an empty chair.
"I think I'm about to go down again" I said falling to the ground in a heap. My vision raced towards the grass until there was nothing but darkness.
