Masquerade was in her secret cave. She only came there when she was distressed. It was the only places were she didn't wear a mask by choice. In fact she couldn't get there with her mask on.
What was up with those people? She thought, When my skin changed the woman looked like she knew me. The odd part really was when the man ran after me. Why did he run?
What really confused Masquerade was the fact that she felt like she had known them. It wasn't a strong feeling or anything. Just a small scene in her head, almost like a flashback except it couldn't have been. Couldn't it?
The scene was: a baby was sitting in a white room being held. Strips of green were in her view. Suddenly another set of arms picked the baby up and carried it out. The only thing remarkable about the baby was it looked abnormally observant. As though it was recording information down to it's memory. That freaked Masquerade out.
Her thoughts suddenly shifted to her childhood. Her earliest memories had been of pain and suffering. Later they had become hunger and pain. Finally a hardness had settled over her causing her to feel the pain, hunger, sadness, suffering, and regret and turn it into ambition, survival tactic, cunning, resourcefulness, and anger. Hers had not been a nice life until she was 13. Then her life had changed for the better.
This baby obviously had it easy.
She then thought of what she knew about the childhoods of her team, the Blue Bloods.
Lazarus her second in command and her brother Melancholy both came from a good life. They had red hair and green eyes. There mother had been the mother of the year five years running. There father had been the new Gilikin ruler after Galinda Uppland had become Glinda the Good. They had grown up rich and had only joined the Spacesetters because they had once been mistaken for slaves. So they figured it must be a bad thing.
Bonesword had a loving faming family who thought he was in a special farming school. He had brown hair with brown eyes. He wasn't very tall (he was from munchkin land) but he was lean. His little sister had become a slave when his family had been unable to pay the bills. He absolutely hated the practice of slavery because of that.
Silverspy was the only one she could relate with in childhood. She was an orphan and had blond hair, blue eyes and a sweet childish face. She had felt the hunger and worry but she had lived in an orphanage. She never really had to worry about death there. She was in the rebellion to try and find a better life then married to a farmer just because she knew he could provide meals.
Masquerade had met Lazarus and Melancholy when she had first run away from Her. She and Lazarus were the same age and Melancholy was two years older.
Bonesword had found his way into the Spacesetters three months later. He had been ready to join any rebellion as long as it fought slavery. He had also planned on quitting as soon as he got his sister out of slavery. He had done that two years ago.
What had made him stay was when Silverspy came. Once she had joined up he couldn't pull himself away.
Masquerade smiled at that memory, that was when they became the Blue Bloods. After that they had fought in many battles, freed many slaves, and had many adventures. They were a group, a team, a family and yet the couple had looked at her strange. Just her. Why her? Why not Lazarus with her strong features that had many details defined that were lost on other faces? Why not Silverspy with her optimistic smile that never truly left her face? Why not Bonesword with the strong arrogant look that didn't fit his personality? Why not Melancholy with his serious green eyes that no matter what you did never lapsed the look of great thinking? Why her out of four better people?
She knew why. It just brought up to many pain filled memories to think of. The answer she knew was she didn't have a past.
All the others had a past worth remembering. Hers was just an example of why you lock the doors at night.
She had grown up in the slums of Emerald City. The supposed non-existent slums. She had been beat every day of her life. She had spent days locked up in jail. She had stolen to survive. She had been stolen from. She had lived through that under the eye of the most distasteful woman ever.
She looked young and sweet but in truth she was older then the Wizard. Masquerade shuddered at the thought of the Wizard. He had made it seem as though there were no slums then he had left them to survive on there own.
Masquerade was suddenly jolted out of her walk down memory lane by mouse which had jilted a stone. That's enough thought for one session. Lurline knows I'm going to need a lot more to get to the answers I need. She then got up and started to the mouth of the cave.
Once there she smiled at the lovely sunset. She hadn't relised it but she had spent the night here and had continued on through most of the day. Now she thought I should go get the mask and she straightened up, checked her surroundings, finally she said "Elika" and was on her way.
MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
Elphaba looked at the mask in her hands. Some how this has something to do with our daughter she thought. And I am going to find out what. With that thought she gave it to Fiyero and walked towards the door.
"We have to get out of here before the Gale force arrives, Fiyero. Are you coming?"
He slowly turned towards his wife and started to head after her knowing they would finally find out the answer to there lost little girl.
