Thank you for the motivation :D I'll agree, this story did have a HORRIBLE start, but I hope with this chapter it'll actually get somewhere, I just needed to introduce everyone somehow.

Shoshanna looked up to see Elphaba. "Oh my God, I'm having one of those not-green-in-time nightmares again, but this one's so vivid! Five years later, seriously?"

Eden looked over to her friend. "You were right that we need a support group. We have issues." She said pointing in the general direction of all the Elphaba's. A few nodded in agreement.

.:Oz:.

Pain, hurt, blood, tears, darkness. Glinda lay on the cold grounds of SouthStairs, the dampness seeping into her many layered dress as she let out a huff and pulled herself from the floor and onto the bench.

"Lurline, help me!" She cried to no one in particular.

Creaking came from the two cells in front of her, one slightly delayed with uncertainty.

"Lady Glinda? Is that you; what are you doing here?" A boy, maybe about 16, with short dark hair came out of the darkness and grasped the bars.

Glinda managed a weak smile. "Oh, nothing, I'm sure there's some type of mistake…" She knew there wasn't; the Wizard had stormed in, several Gale Force Soldiers behind him along with Morrible. They had immediately arrested her for treason and being a traitor to the Land of Oz for being a sympathizer of the Witch of the West.

"I don't believe you. What's going on up there? I've been in here for Oz knows how long. Oh, by the way my name's Seyl, Lady Glinda." The boy from the other cell across from her said he seemed to be about 15. He seemed to be trying to remember his manners for her.

"And I'm Drey." The boy from before said.

"It's nice to meet you both, considering the circumstances." She added. "But I assure you, everything is fine…" Glinda said, keeping her happy-go demeanor.

Drey cast an unsure glance, before disappearing back into the darkness of his cell.

Glinda fell against the wall, letting out a sigh of relief. She closed her eyes, hoping to return to a time of happier days with a certain green girl and carefree prince.

.:Oz:.

"You know the rumors, is this necessary?"

"I know they're true." The Wizard replied.

Morrible nodded and looked out over the balcony to the legion of Gale Forcers and shouted out to them.

"Go, search even till the edges of the Badlands till you find the Witch!" She snarled. The soldiers saluted with a pounding of their spears and lances with the occasional shot of a gun as they set out to march.

.:Oz:.

"Thief! Come back here!" Aeryn ran around the corner, dark hair waving around her. She hadn't stolen anything but a shop keeper had pinned it on her to save himself. He had been stealing from his own business.

Aeryn had been a freedom fighter against the Wizard and Morrible ever since they took over, which was recently- they had taken their family for defending Glinda. Only about a month or so ago. She found herself running out of options as the Gale Force members of the Vinkus closed in around her in an old street. Hopping the fence and running more until the shouts of the Gale Force members faded behind her

Aeryn found herself face to face with Kiamo Ko, the old castle of the Tiggular family but had since been abandoned since the Witch had taken over (most thought it was now haunted), but of course Aeryn knew the truth, her parents worked with the Resistance, from before Glinda's time and Aeryn's, she was only 15. Elphaba, known as the Witch to most, was a regular there and a high ranked member.

Not fearing the myths of the haunted old castle she walked in, finding it very much occupied.

"Who the Kumbrica are you people?" Aeryn unsheathed her sword and held it up defensively, looking wildly around the room at the green, half green or non-green women with a bewildered expression on her face.

Elphaba stood, pulled the brim of her hat down, and shot her hand outwards. Aeryn doubled over and dropped the sword as she was flung against the wall. In the blink of an eye Elphaba stood over her.

"No, who are you?" She snarled, with a menacing flash in her eyes.
