A Second Chance To Make Good
A/N Hey my other Wicked/Elphaba loving peers! Sorry for not updating but I forgot. Thank you to those who reviewed.
"What're you doing here?" Elphaba yelled as she saw a man appear as she grew angry. It was the Wizard but also her father. He knew last time hadn't ended so good. He had tried to make things right with her but she wouldn't forgive him.
"Elphaba I'm.... sorry about what happened in the Emerald City.
I wish things hadn't gotten so ugly.
Please give me another chance." he told her.
"How do I know that I can trust him? He ruined Oz by making some of the animals speechless and in cages.
For that I cannot forgive but something isn't right.
What is he up to?" Elphaba thought as her dark eyes looked into his. She had no choice but to hear him out.
"Maybe...... this could be my chance and I won't let it slip away this time!" she thought.
"I will hear you out this time but betray me and you'll regret it!
Now why're you here?" Elphaba answered him. The Wizard smiled hearing that. He knew that there was still goodness in her even if the other Ozians had forgotten it.
"It.... involves the child you found." he answered her softly.
Elphaba was shocked by that. She wondered what he wanted to do with the child. She needed to know more about the girl.
"Why?" Elphaba asked confused.
The Wizard smiled at her.
"Inside that little girl lies the powers of something ancient, something the Grimmerie describes as truly powerful. The powerful magic of a dragon like sorceroress is within her. But somebody is after her." he explained softly.
"But why?
I don't understand!" she asked.
"The person seeks to use her powers to take over Oz and do things, things far worse than you've ever done. For five years the girl has been with a foster mother until her birthday when her magic became stronger and she left in fear.
You must hide with her but protect her from harm." he answered softly.
"B-But where will we hide that is safe?" Elphaba asked him.
"Shiz." he answered. Elphaba shivered at that in fear. She hadn't heard or thought of there since she'd left and was afraid of going back there.
"Don't worry. Nobody there remembers you. Only Madam Morrible but she's retired from Shiz after you left and everything that happened.
I'm hiding there as a teacher as my cover. You will go there as a teacher but protect your young charge.
But...." he told her.
"But what?" Elphaba asked.
"Galinda sometimes hangs around there for..... old times sake if you know what I mean. She hasn't been the same since you left for the West.
Maybe you two should meet again." he told her.
"What is the child's name?" Elphaba asked him.
"Dalia." he answered as he saw her approach the room where the child was sleeping. She picked her up carefully so as not to wake her. The Wizard smiled seeing her return with Dalia.
"Let's go!" he said opening a portal as they vanished.....
