Thank you everyone for the awesome reviews, I loved every single one of them! I want to apologize for the unexciting chapter thus far, but I hope this one makes up for it! Enjoy!

…...
"You're a woman?" Zeke repeated to the heavy breathing beauty that was sitting on the ground, with Sidney standing over her still ready to defend herself if necessary.
"But you sound like a guy and -" Before Zeke could finish his thought the strange woman cautiously pulled down the collar of her shirt reveling what looked like to be a small sticker attached to her throat. She gently tore it off and threw it to the side.
"Better?" She asked, as her soft velvety voice coming out crystal clear.
"A voice changer." Sidney stated plainly. The woman on the ground looked up at Sidney and slowly nodded. "Who are you, and why all the secrecy?" Sidney asked.
"I could ask you the same question." Replied the woman, and for the first time Sidney realized that she still had her own hood pulled up around her face.
"If I tell you, will you give me the information that I asked for?" Sidney asked, I did not go through all of this trouble for nothing.
"Considering you still have an energy ball aimed at my face I guess I can't really argue with much of anything, now can I?"
Sidney quickly put out the green energy ball, and with just a moment of hesitation she slid the hood back. She could practically see the shock roll off the women's face and new she had been recognized.
"Well I would never expect to see you here your majesty." The women commented after the initial shock had worn off. Sidney remained silent, but offered her hand to the fallen woman and helped her to her feet. The moment the two hands touched Sidney felt a small jolt course through her body.
Ok, that was strange.
"Who are you?" Sidney repeated her previous question.
The woman had shoulder length copper colored hair and misty brown eyes. She was shorter than Sidney but not by much, she looked well fit and stood in a defensive stance as if ready run given the chance.
"Look, I don't know if this is such a good idea anymore, you're the daughter of the Ruler of Oz, meaning the government is in on all of this, and that I don't want any part of."
"Trust me when I tell you, no one from the government knows anything about where I am or what I have been doing, and that includes my mothers."
They would kick my you know what if they knew anyways.
The cool, brown eyes of the stranger looked deep into Sidney's, sending yet another wave of emotion through the young witches body.
"My name is Jessie, Jessie Lewis."
"And what is your connection to the man I am looking for?" Jessie looked from Zeke to Sidney, before finally answering.
"It's personal." Jessie answered shortly. Normally Sidney could read people rather well, but she was having difficulties with Jessie, but one thing she did recognize was the rage that was showing through her cool brown eyes.
"Alright fine." Sidney said realizing that pushing this women probably wasn't going to get her anywhere. "You said that you knew where he was going to be next, where is that?"
"He is supposed to be at Points Peak at midnight tonight."
"And how do you know this?"
"Informant." Jessie replied with offering no further explanation.
"Why is he going there?" Jessie shrugged.
"Well isn't that just convenient." Zeke spoke up for the first time causing both women to turn their attention towards him. "What?" He asked baffled at the look Sidney was sending his way. "Look, she won't tell us how she is connected to this man, she won't tell us who has been feeding us her information, and now she doesn't know why he is going to be at one of the most secluded cliffs in all Oz…I don't trust her."
"Says the man who looks like the old west spit up on him." Jessie fired back. "I'm not the one you shouldn't be trusting here Wyatt Earp."
"Oh no, you are the one who set up this whole secrete meeting crap!"
"Enough!" Sidney yelled. "Zeke, I understand your hesitancy, I really do but this is the only chance I've got, understand?" Zeke saw the desperation in his friends eyes, the need for some type of closure was gnawing at her heart and he knew it.
"If your right about this, I'll give you what you asked for." Sidney told Jessie as she walked back towards Zeke. "We'll meet here tomorrow same time."
"Whoa, whoa wait a just a second their blondie, I'm going with you." Jessie stated.
"No your not, no one is, I am doing this alone." Sidney replied, emphasizing the 'alone' part.
"But Sid-" Zeke tried to argue.
"I said no!" The young witch yelled causing Zeke's argument to cease.
"Just what makes you think you have any say over what I can and cannot do, I'm going with or without your permission your majesty." Jessie stated not seeming to care on how angry the blond witch was becoming. "Believe it or not, I want this guy dead just as much as you do."
Sidney's head whipped around to meet Jessie's gaze. How does she know that I want him dead? "I never said I wanted him dead." Jessie didn't comment on Sidney's statement.
"So, are we going to do this thing or not?"
…...
"It's a pleasure to see you again Governor."
"Why the pleasure is all mine Miss Glinda, and if I may say you look more radiant than ever." Glinda smiled sweetly at the complement she had received from the older gentleman as she stood at the entry way greeting guests as they came.
"Thank you, and you wife looks ravishing as well." Glinda commented as she softly shook the woman's hand that was standing next to him. "Hello Molly."
"Thank you Glinda, I don't know how I put up with him sometimes." Molly joked.
"I feel the same way with Elphaba at times."
"Speaking of Elphaba, where has she run off to?" The governor asked.
Your guess is as good as mine buddy.
"Oh you know her, always working, she is just making some final touches on a current project, she should be here any minute." I hope. Both husband and wife nodded and smiled.
"And what about Sidney? I haven't seen her in ages." Molly asked.
Do you think it's a bad thing that I have no idea where she is either?
"Oh she is probably with Elphaba, those two are inseparable." Or at least they used to be. Before anymore questions could be asked about the whereabouts of her wife and daughter Glinda led the two into the ball room to mingle with the rest of the guests.
Just as Glinda turned to meet the rest of the arriving guests, a familiar face was seen walking through the large entry way. "Ana it's good to see you!" Glinda couldn't help her excitement as she through her arms around her friend, who looked quite lovely in her dark, maroon colored evening gown.
"Hey babe, how you doing?" Ana asked a little concerned with Glinda's behavior.
"Great now that I have some back-up for this thing."
"What Green Bean pull one of her disappearing acts again?" Ana asked, she meant it as a joke but was surprised when she got an affirmative response. "Oh you know her, everything has to be done thoroughly, she probably just has to take care of something small." Ana said, not sure if she was trying to convince herself or Glinda.
"I'm sure your right Ana, it's just, she refuses to tell me where she goes, and it's only when Izzy calls her away and it's just…you know what never mind, it's nothing." Glinda waved it off, feeling slightly guilty that her mind even attempted to go down that path.
"Now honey, if it's important to you it is not just nothing. Try talking to her again about it, you know how stubborn she can be." Ana answered with a grin. "Now if you excuse me darlin, but I see some shrimp cocktails just calling my name." And with that Ana walked towards the rest of the party.
Shaking her head slightly Glinda thought to herself, maybe she is right, I just need to tell her I need a straight answer, plain and simple. That is, if she ever decides to grace us with her presence. "Elphie, you better get you butt here soon or I'll-"
"I hope you follow through on your threats, sounds like you were on to something." Her wife's voice interrupting the blonds rampage. Glinda turned to meet a drop dead gorgeous green women. Elphaba was wearing a single strap, long black dress that hugged her curves in all the right places. Her thick black hair was pulled back into a messy bun, reveling her long slender neck. Glinda was still amazed that even after all these years, the sight of Elphaba in a dress could render her speechless.
"You look…wow." Elphaba stated as she let her eyes travel up and down her wife. Glinda was also wearing a long dress that tied up around her neck, but instead of black, the blond had chosen a light blue color dress. Her wavy blond hair hung loosely around her shoulders and her make-up was flawless.
"Compliments will get you nowhere Elphie." Glinda joked. "It's about time you showed up, I was getting a little nervous, I thought I would have to endure my parents and the rest of these people by myself."
"I'm sorry Glinda, the situation took longer than I had anticipated." Elphaba explained as she hugged her wife. Just as they pulled back Glinda had caught of whiff of a sweet smelling perfume that was not her wife's…nor was it her own. Unfortunately, before Glinda could comment someone in the crowed had called her wife's name. "Shall we?" Elphaba asked offering the blond her arm.
Glinda took it without hesitation, but in the back of her mind she knew something wasn't right.
…...
"So what do we do now just wait?" Zeke asked as he, Sidney and Jessie ducked behind a cluster of trees, staying just out of sight and receiving a perfect view of the top of the cliff.
"Unless you have a better idea." Jessie snapped. Sidney could hear Zeke mumble under his breath as he leaned up against a tree.
"So are you going to tell me why the next ruler of Oz is so interested in a murdering scumbag like this guy?" Jessie finally asked after a few minutes of silence.
"Depends, are you going to tell me why you are so interested in him?" Sidney came back with her own question. Jessie narrowed her eyes once again towards Sidney and just grinned and turned back towards the cliff.
"So, what's your plan of action after the SOB gets here?" Jessie asked completely changing the subject.
"I don't know, I guess I really didn't have one." Sidney admitted, she was so wrapped up in the idea that she was finally going to meet this man face to face that she hadn't planned on anything else.
"Then tell me again why you thought this was a good idea?" Zeke asked from behind. "You should have gone to your mother about this information, she could have helped, he is a wanted fugitive you know."
"Yeah and have this whole place surrounded by guards, increasing the chance of him finding us out and running…no thanks." Sidney dismissed the idea.
"Couldn't your mother take him down herself? I mean she is well, like a legend, she took down the Wizard of Oz for crying out loud." Jessie commented.
"I'm sure she could, but this isn't her fight, besides, I'm a pretty kick ass witch myself." Sidney said, attempting to lighten the mood. Jessie didn't smile, but Sidney could see the twinkle in her brown eyes.
"You know, I always thought she was set up…your mother." Jessie continued. "I even wrote my thesis paper about it last year." This surprised both Sidney and Zeke." I just knew she couldn't be wicked." Before anyone could reply a whirl of wind quickly formed in front of the trio, and when it died down there standing at the edge of the cliff was the man with the tattoo.
"Right on time." Jessie whispered, venom dripping from her voice.
"Alright, so now what's the plan- Sidney wait don't…" But it was too late, Sidney was up out of the trees and headed straight towards the man she had been hunting for over a year now.
The man had his back towards her, Sidney pulled the dagger from her jacket pocket. She heard no sounds, could no longer feel the wind on her face, the only thing clouding her mind was Emily's face. Her beautiful face, her piercing eyes, her sweet smile, but then Sidney heard the one sound that had been haunting her dreams for a year now, the cry of her lover as her life was taken.
Sidney grasped the blade in her hand, she was in feet of her target. She cocked her arm back, I'm ready for the pain to be over with. And just when she was about to finish out the deed she was hit from the side sending her to the ground.
"Oomph!" Cried Sidney, she turned to see who had knocked her down. "What the hell do you think you're doing?" She yelled at Jessie. The tattooed man now had his full attention turned toward the two women.
"You!" He spat, quickly recognizing Sidney. The young witch lunged for the fallen knife but Jessie got in before her. Before she could demand it back the tattooed man was in a full on run towards her.
"Shempra!" Sidney yelled throwing the brute of a man to the ground. This gave Sidney enough time to get to her feet.
"Give me the dagger!" Sidney told Jessie.
"No, you don't want to do this." Jessie responded.
"The hell I don't!" Sidney made a move for the knife, but Jessie was quick and dodged out of the way. Sidney, who was swift on her feet quickly turned around and finally got her hands on the weapon. Neither woman noticing the tattooed man slowly getting to his feet.
"Let go!" Sidney said in a voice that was so cold it even frightened herself. But Jessie refused to let go, both staring at the other.
"Sidney!" Zeke's voice rang out, causing the woman to tare their eyes away from one another, and focus on the man running full speed towards them.
Sidney didn't have enough time to drop the knife and pull off a spell. She wasn't sure who it was that lunged the dagger deep into the man's gut… hers or Jessie's. But when the man fell to the ground, shock over came the young witch.
…...
"Thank you again for coming Prime Minister, I hope you consider my proposal, I believe it can make a huge difference."
"I think you're right your Hines, I'm looking forward to the viewing the final plans."
"I will let you know as soon as they are ready." Elphaba responded to the old goat, who reminded her a lot of her old professor in so many ways.
"Good, good. Well thank you so much for a wonderful evening, good night."
"Good night." And with that the Prime Minister was led to his ride by one of the guards, leaving Glinda and Elphaba alone in the massive room.
"Well, I think it went rather well." Glinda stated, but she got no response from the green witch. " Oh come on Elphie, both the Governor and Prime Minister liked your proposal, you should be jumping up and down with joy or something."
Elphaba slowly turned around, her face unreadable, causing the blond to look at her in confusion. All of a sudden Elphaba let out a loud "Whoop!", and ran towards her wife, scooped her up in her arms and twirled her around.
Glinda let out a full belly laugh. "Well that's more like it."
"Thank you so much for tonight Glinda, I couldn't have done it without you." Elphaba said sincerely. "The place looked great, the food was incredible…even though the kitchen is still off limits." She said with a sly grin.
"It was my pleasure." Glinda said still wrapped up in her wife's arms. Elphaba leaned in and kissed Glinda, softly at first and then more demanding.
She felt Elphaba's hand slide up her back as the other woman drew Glinda back toward her. Elphaba's lips met hers, her mouth responding softly at first but with increasing intensity. Glinda felt the full length of Elphaba's body pressed against her. The rest of her body started to respond to the sensory explosion at her mouth. Glinda pulled away from the kiss, breathless.
Elphaba's hand on her back held Glinda close. "Glinda…" The single word was barely audible. Without another word, Glinda grasped her wife's hand and led her towards the staircase.
Once in the privacy of their bedroom, Elphaba moved across the intervening space on the bed. She slid the palm of her hand over the plane of Glinda's cheek and around to the back of her neck. This time when their lips met there was no hesitancy. Underneath the full grape of the wine that they had that night, Glinda tasted desire on Elphaba's mouth.
Glinda's hand skimmed up Elphaba's arm and tracked the line of Elphaba's shoulder to her exposed neck line. Glinda's fingers found the zipper on the side of the dress. Her fingers continued to work the zipper as she pulled her mouth away from Elphaba's and followed the line of her jaw down to the leaping pulse at the side of Elphaba's throat. Glinda slid her hand inside Elphaba's dress, cupping her full, round breast and grazing her thumb lightly over Elphaba's already erect nipple. Elphaba let out a small moan. Gotcha, Glinda thought.
Glinda withdrew her hand from inside Elphaba's dress. She gently pushed Elphaba to rest against the back of the bed and straddled her. She raked her fingers through Elphaba's hair, trailing them down to cup Elphaba's face. Glinda smiled as she bent down to Elphaba's ripe mouth. The silky brush of her hair and the light smell of apples came to Elphaba with the pressure of Glinda's mouth on hers. Glinda slipped the tip of her tongue between Elphaba's lips, exploring gently. Elphaba answered Glinda's explorations just as gently as her strong hands stroked the extra sensitive nerves running along Glinda's inner thighs.
Glinda quickly undid the remaining length of the zipper on Elphaba's dress, pulling away from her mouth to take in a full view of the woman underneath her.
"Beautiful." Glinda whispered.
They made quick work of each other's clothes, with Glinda unable to contain a laugh as her dress went flying too far and landed in the bathroom. Her hands roamed the length of Elphaba's body, skimming muscles well kept through jogging. Elphaba drew Glinda toward her and buried her face in the soft cascade of Glinda's hair against her cheek.
Glinda pulled back and flipped her hair over her shoulder. Elphaba's laugh was lost as Glinda's mouth found hers. Elphaba ran a hand over Glinda's arm and down to her breast. Her fingers skipped lightly over Glinda's nipple.
Glinda broke their kiss and pulled away from Elphaba's hand. Glinda's blue eyes locked with Elphaba's, saying so much through the thick silence of the room.
Elphaba shivered as Glinda drew a hand up the inside of her thigh. Glinda's fingers slid easily into the warm, moist tangle between Elphaba's legs. Elphaba moaned as Glinda found her swollen clit. Glinda slid her fingers lower, dipping into the wetness at Elphaba's core.
The musky smell of Elphaba's need brought a heightened response in her own body that Glinda felt keenly in the throbbing between her legs. She dipped her head to suck Elphaba's firm, dark nipple as she moved her fingers back to Elphaba's delicious bundle of nerves.
Glinda established a rhythm which Elphaba guided with gentle murmurs and reinforced with the increasingly urgent thrusting of her hips.
"Oh god, Glinda, don't stop."
Glinda propped her head on her free hand to get a glimpse of Elphaba's face. A red flush crept over Elphaba's chest, neck, and face as Glinda's insistent fingers worked her closer and closer to a climax. Elphaba let out a low moan as her orgasm rushed to meet her. Elphaba stilled Glinda's hand with her own as her body began to subside. She held Glinda pressed against the length of her body as her breathing returned to normal.
Glinda drew her dripping fingers from between Elphaba's lips slowly. She sat up to reach for the top sheet and felt Elphaba sit up next to her. Elphaba drew a languid hand down Glinda's back.
"You didn't plan on just going to sleep after that did you," Elphaba whispered in Glinda's ear, sending a jolt through her already over-aroused body.
Glinda lay back and Elphaba rolled to meet her. She turned Glinda's jaw toward her with a light finger. "You do know you have the most transfixing smile don't you? It completely changes your face."
"I'm glad you like it." Glinda responded, "but as I told you before Elphie, flattery will get you nowhere." Glinda said, stretching up to kiss her lightly on the mouth,
Elphaba responded to Glinda's kiss with need, her tongue unabashed between Glinda's lips. Elphaba ran her hand over the flat of Glinda's belly, around the curve of her hip, and back up her side to come to rest on one of her small, firm breasts. Elphaba broke the kiss and rolled to a kneeling position above Glinda, one knee firmly ensconced between Glinda's parted thighs.
Elphaba lowered her head to Glinda's breast. Her tongue was soft, but unrelenting as she teased one of Glinda's nipples to an even firmer state while she rolled the other between a gentle thumb and forefinger. Glinda rocked slightly against the upward press of Elphaba's leg at the delta of her thighs. Elphaba shifted and took some of Glinda's wetness away with her.
Elphaba began a deliberately slow trip down Glinda's body, her kisses leaving scattered patches of blush across Glinda's pale skin. She didn't get very far before Glinda drew her back upward. Elphaba's dark eyes locked with Glinda's.
"Not that," Glinda said, "I want your hands."
Not breaking eye contact, Elphaba shifted again. She glided her hand over Glinda's belly and into the deeper blonde triangle between her legs. The rich sent of Glinda's heightened arousal drifted upward. Elphaba's fingers found Glinda wet and open. She slid a slow, teasing finger inside. Glinda moaned, eyelids fluttering but not quite closing.
Elphaba quickly found her distended clit. Glinda moved her hand to the back of Elphaba's neck and drew her into a deep kiss as Elphaba's fingers found Glinda's rhythm. Glinda's orgasm was quick and powerful, the edge brought closer in the process of getting Elphaba to climax.
As the flush receded from Glinda's skin and the arch in her back relaxed, Elphaba gently removed her hand. She drew the top sheet over both of them and relaxed into the pillow beside Glinda.
"I love you Elphie."
"Mmm, love you too sweetheart." The green witch mumbled as sleep quickly took her. Laying there in the quiet of their bedroom, wrapped in her wife's arms Glinda found herself unable to sleep.
…...
The sight of the lifeless body was so completely transfixing that Sidney could not tare her eyes away from it.
What have I done?
She thought this was supposed to give her peace, supposed to make the pain stop… but it didn't.
Zeke, who had been watching from the sidelines, too stunned to act until now, made the small walk towards the tattooed man and carefully bent down. He pressed his fingers to the side of his neck and waited a few seconds.
"He's dead." He replied as he locked eyes with Sidney, but she wasn't there, her body was standing in front of her friend but she was a million miles away. "Sid?" Zeke asked as he went to go touch her arm, but Jessie intervened.
"Leave her be." She whispered softly.
Before an argument could arouse there was a slight tremor in the bushes, causing the trio to brace themselves for the next wave of danger, but what popped out of the darkness was a very familiar face.
"Izzy?" Zeke asked, bewildered for the second time that day. Izzy came into view as her eyes darted from Zeke, Sidney and Jessie, to the bloody body sprawled out on the forest floor.
"What happened?" Izzy asked, recognizing the dagger that was penetrating the mans abdomen and looked at Sidney with a terrified expression.
Sidney was going to confess, was going to take the punishment that she deserved to receive for taking a man's life, but before she could utter a single word Jessie spoke up.
"It was an accident, he was going to kill us…it was self-defense."
What?
Sidney wanted to argue, wanted to tell the truth, but when pale green eyes met Jessie's something stopped her.
Izzy bent down to examine the body, "We have been looking for this guy for a long time Sid. If you had some type of information you should have told us…such a waste."
The sound of Izzy's voice snapped Sidney out of her transfixed stair at the other woman. "A waste?…You think that getting rid of this man was a waste?" Sidney snapped, she was beginning to loose her patience. "Do you have any idea what this man has done to innocent people, how many lives he has ruined?"
I may regret doing the deed, but I do no regret the outcome.
Instead of being defensive with the young witch Izzy softened her tone. "That's not what I meant Sidney…you don't understand, this goes so much deeper than just this man."
"What do you mean?" Jessie asked once she realized Sidney was too upset to form the question.
"What I mean is, this man was just a low level assassin, there is someone bigger out there who was giving him orders…someone from the inside."
