Der Kommandant

(The Commander)

Warning: Rated M for Mature

The next day Elphaba was the first one awake and decided to make breakfast for the remaining members of the Upland clan. Elphaba had grown up being taught how to cook and clean just like her step-father thought she should. He thought those were the only things women were good for, cooking and cleaning. He also thought that the only reason women existed was to please men, which Elphaba did not agree with. She was a pretty good cook though.

She had just finished making pancakes and putting them in the oven to keep them warm when a short blonde entered the room, yawning. Glinda had awaken to the smell of bacon and oranges and wondering where it was coming from, threw on a robe and slippers (courtesy of Elphaba) and walked into the kitchen. She noticed that Elphaba was in sleep pants and a black tank top. She didn't sleep in a night gown? She probably wasn't like any woman had ever met. That was okay for Glinda though, she got a good view of the muscle in the tan girl's arms.

"Good Morning, Miss Upland, how did you sleep?" Elphaba said startling Glinda out of her daze.

"The best I've slept in awhile, considering I slept on the floor most of the time in camp." Glinda replied sitting at the table, watching Elphaba move around the kitchen.

"You cook?" Glinda said cocking her head to the side with a smile. Who knew the tough as nails kommandant could cook an entire meal from scratch?

"Yes, actually I do. My mother taught me, would you like something to drink? I have milk, coffee and orange juice." Elphaba said quickly changing the subject, she didn't like getting emotional in front of strangers and she knew she'd probably cry if they talked about her mother.

"Oh, just water if fine." Glinda said running her hand through her curls and closing her eyes. Elphaba turned to look at the girl when she pulled her hand threw her hair and she couldn't help but wonder how someone could look so tired and so beautiful at the same time.

…..

After everyone ate and Elphaba got dressed she walked down the stairs to see that someone other than the Uplands had wondered into her home and was currently waiting for her. Fiyero. Why could he just disappear and never resurface? Why did he have to keep causing her trouble? Just then she remembered that he hadn't yet been reprimanded for killing Hans, who happened to be a pure blooded German.

Elphaba just stood in the stairwell where, from Fiyero's angle, she would be completely hidden due to the morning shadow. Just then Ida just happened to walk into the kitchen to put something away when Fiyero spotted the woman. He had seen her somewhere. The camp! Why was this Jew in Elphaba's home? Did she sneak up here to escape? Fiyero lunged forward grabbing the woman and yanking her to her knees.

"What do you think you are doing here? Escaping!?" Fiyero screamed into her ear. Hearing this Erik rose from his place on the couch and ran to the kitchen, seeing his wife being threatened by the man who killed his brother and almost killed him. Erik jumped at Fiyero and they began to fight for control, Ida got up and ran to the living room where Glinda and Glinda's little brother, Friedrick sat playing checkers.

Elphaba didn't want anyone else getting hurt and pulled her rifle out. She aimed, waiting for the right moment and fired, hitting the window not four inches from Fiyero's head. That got both man's attention. They both stopped and looked over to see Elphaba laying her rifle on a chest in front of a door. She looked up at them both.

"Erik, go into the living room with your family and stay there. Fiyero, come with me." Elphaba said walking back up the stairs with Fiyero close behind her.

Erik walked into the room and sat with his wife who was sobbing uncontrollably into his chest. She thought now that they were with Elphaba they'd be safe. She was lucky Elphaba and Erik had interfered or she might be in a bloody mess on the kitchen floor.

When Elphaba and Fiyero reached her room upstairs, she closed the door, locked it and turned to face the leutnant. She opened her mouth to yell but before she could say a thing he crashed his mouth against hers and pinned her to the wall. She threw her arms up between them and tried to push him away but he only grabbed her wrists and held them above her head. She struggled against him but that only made him want her more. He finally pulled away from her and let go of her wrist but he instantly realized that was a wrong move as soon as he let go. She pulled back and swung at him but he was too quick, he grabbed he arm and twisted it behind her back and threw her too her knees.

"Who's the Kommandant now?" Fiyero said into her ear, she could almost feel his grin.

"Me." She said and flipped her arm over her body and now facing him, brought her knee to his groin as forcefully as she could manage with her position. He fell to the ground gripping himself and groaning in pain.

"Just who the fuck do you think you are?" She said getting madder with every moment she saw him. No one was allowed to touch her like that without her permission.

"I can't help that I fell in love with you, it just happened." He said trying to stand with the assistance on a dresser. Just then she turned and put her head on the wall attempting to calm her thoughts. He saw the opportunity and walked up behind her, wrapping his arms around her.

"Don't you see? I never meant to hurt you, I love you, Elphaba." Fiyero said into her ear.

"Fiyero, get off of me before I break all of the bones in your body." Elphaba said her eyes opening and her temper rising.

"I'm sorry, Elphaba but I vowed that I would have you. And I will, whether by your consent or not." And with that Fiyero grabbed her pressure point and twisted it, rendering her unconscious.

When Elphaba opened her eyes she sensed danger and twisted her arms but she couldn't move. She looked up and noticed that her arms were tied to her head board. She might have looked calm but she was panicking on the inside. She saw something move out of the corner of her eye.

"Ah, you're finally awake. You slept a good half-hour." Fiyero said, when he noticed she had seen the knot he had tied around her wrists. Elphaba went to reply but then notice that he had put some sort of cloth in her mouth, preventing her from sound.

"Now that you're stable, we can talk. Now, I didn't want to do this but if you aren't going to comply I will make you comply. I'm sorry but, this is how things have to be." Fiyero said stripping himself of his jacket and shirt. He climbed atop her and began kissing her neck, his hands roaming over body. His movements were drowned out as she worked on freeing her hands from the military knot. All of her training flooding back to her on how to tie and untie knots. She snapped out of her work when she noticed he was undoing her shirt whilst undoing his trousers. She was running out of time.

"You do taste as good as you look, Fae, really. Do you feel as good as you look too? Tell me are you a virgin?" He mumbled into her neck. She was really in for it now. She went back to working on the knot and she realized she was free. She looked over on her nightstand and noticed a glass bottle which was recently filled with high quality liquor. She grabbed it and smashed it over his head.

And then everyone downstairs heard the piercing sound of a pistol shot.
