Hey guys,
Sorry for the lack of updates but school's killing all my time haha Dance education is exhausting sometimes, although I love it so so much ;) So here's an update and I'll try to keep in track with it more often, can't promise anything.
'Station Victoria!' I left the underground and found my way to the theatre. Willemijn left several days ago but luckily her poster were still up. She looked so beautiful in green. I tried my hardest to stop fangirling but I couldn't help it. She is just so beautiful! I made some selfies and looked at the stage door. It was open! Looking around to see if nobody saw me and then I walked casually in. Omg can you believe it!? I'm in the Apollo Victoria theatre! Where would Willemijn her dressing room be? Sneaky I started walking through some hallways searching for that one door. I looked to my right and paralysed. "Willemijn Verkaik" was written on the door on a chalkboard. Again I looked around to see if nobody saw me and then I quickly got in. 'Okay Sophia take a deep breath and on 3 you turn around. Okay 1, 2, 3!' I turned around. It still was the same as in the videos I saw. All the fan art was still hanging on the wall and her personal photos were there too. I walked over to her dressing table and touch the photos. 'Oh Will.' I looked around one last time and decided to leave again. I could stay here for weeks, months, years but that would be I don't know weird? I opened the door but there was no hallway anymore. There was some kind of cornfield or something. I closed the door again and turned around, the dressing room still was the same. 'Hm weird.. Let's try again.' I opened the door but still there was no hallway. 'Hm still weird. Whatever, just take the chance.' I murmured and I took a step. I was standing in the middle of cornfields now and the door was gone. 'What the..' Some strange sound came my way. I started running through the corns until I saw a fence, I jumped over it and then there was a yellow brick road. 'Oh my, this is Oz!' Came my conclusion. Somewhere down the road I saw a green city. 'Of course the Emerald City.' I started walking in that direction, cause well what could I do?
'You didn't really think I would let the three of you rot in there don't you!?' Elphaba sighed and turned around to look at them. 'Of course not Elphie!' Glinda said and she started running again. 'Good. Bart, how's she doing?' 'She has been better, I guess. But she'll be all right.' Bart was running right behind me with Willemijn in his arms. She was to weak to walk on her own, let stand run. 'Good. Just keep going, I'll distract them once more.' Elphaba had pinned the guards in the palace up to the ceiling so they could escape. Now that they were outside she had to cover them with mist so nobody saw them. And that's exactly what she did. She started running again. 'It's not that far anymore.' 'Elphie where are we going?' 'We are going to the forest Lin. That is our only opportunity.'
I wasn't really paying attention while walking. Just singing some songs softly and looking around. I had to admit it was kind of good looming here. The colours were beautiful. And I guess that if I hadn't known the story of Oz I could have lived here too but yeah I know it and I don't think I could. Not if things doesn't change. So I was walking and not paying attention so I didn't see this weird kind of low clouds coming and I almost tripped over when it came near to me. It almost tripped me over? Clouds are not visible, aren't they? It's just like mist isn't it? Strange. 'This was never going to work in the first place Elphie, you know that.' 'Please Glinda shut up and let me look if the girl's okay.' So the clouds disappeared and I looked right into the face of Elphaba, Glinda, Bart and Willemijn! Wait what!? 'Sweet Oz!' I whispered in a high pitch voice. 'Well she looks okay, if you count the squealing Glinda part as okay.' Elphaba said sarcastic. 'Shut up Elphie. Little girl, are you okay?' Glinda asked as she touched my shoulder. I looked at her hand touching my shoulder in disbelief before I looked back at her. 'I think I... I have to lay down!' I managed to choke out before I fainted.
'Why do people always faint when they see me?' Elphaba asked as she gently put down the girl. 'I don't think she fainted because she saw you. Well okay maybe she did but I don't think it was because of your skin, but because of you, just you and me and Will. We told you about Willemijn playing you, Elphaba, in a musical, didn't we?' Bart asked and Elphaba nodded. 'Good so now you maybe understand cause that girl is a fan. You can tell it by the moment you see them. High pitch voice, shaky, exciting, nervous, confused, ashamed, insecure. Notice one or two of these and some others and you know it's a fangirl.' Bart said and he laid down Willemijn as well with her head in his lap. 'You're probably right although I have no idea what you mean by "she's a fan".' Elphaba said and she went over to the girl to feel her heartbeat. 'Never mind.' Bart said. 'Happily she still is alive. Let's see what I can do for your wife.' Elphaba said and she sat down besides Willemijn. 'She's exhausted, you can probably tell and because of her back injury she didn't really handle all the pain well. Those wounds just have to heal and we have to keep them clean. I have a spell for that but since Glinda is a much better healer then me she can cast it.' 'Really Elphie?' The blonde girl looked at the green witch with big puppy eyes. 'Yes, and don't squeal right away. First save Willemijn.' Elphaba told her stir. 'Yes ma'am.' Glinda said and she started chanting. Elphaba sighed and turned around to look at Bart and Willemijn, and then at the new girl. How was she ever going to get them out of here, save..? And just when she wanted to start pacing desperately Willemijn coughed and opened her eyes.
'Will? How are you feeling?' Bart looked at his wife and wiped some hair out of her face.
'Bart? Where am I? And I'm fine. At least as you forget about the pain.' Willemijn said and she coughed again. It was true what she said, she was feeling fine except from the terrible pain, but she could handle it. 'We escaped the palace honey.' He kissed her forehead and Glinda let out a "aww". 'Oh okay.' Willemijn tried to sit up but immediately dropped back when a wave of dizziness and pain made her nauseous. However she managed to turn a bit away from Bart and she threw up, what was a challenge itself cause there was almost nothing left in her stomach cause of the leak of food. Bart held the hair out of her face and helped her lay down afterwards.
'Gross.' Glinda said and Elphaba turned away to suppress the feeling of throwing up herself.
Bart softly rubbed Willemijn her back and tried to avoid her burns and hurts. Willemijn let out a soft sigh and relaxed. She almost drifted off to sleep again when she noticed the young girl sitting not far away aside from her and Bart. She was staring at them with a face of disbelief. 'Who's she?' Willemijn chocked out when she slowly sat up again. 'We don't know yet but Bart said she's a fan of yours.' Elphaba explained and she noticed the girl, too, had woke up. 'Is she?' Willemijn turned around and faced Bart. 'Is she?' She asked again. 'I guess she is. Look at her. But why don't you ask her self?' Bart said. 'I would if I could get up myself.' Willemijn said and she gave him a sceptic look. 'Of course.' Bart helped her up slowly and supported her when they walked over to the girl. He slowly sat Willemijn down in front of the girl. The girl still looked at them if they were ghost and if she was ready to faint again. 'Tell me little girl, who are you?' Willemijn asked sweetly and she gave the girl a sweet look. The girl didn't say anything. She did gasp a little and placed both hands in front of her mouth. Willemijn tried again, in her own native language now. 'Spreek je Nederlands?' The girl put down her hands and Willemijn saw she was thinking. 'Ja ik spreek Nederlands. I mean yes I do, sorry.' The girl looked shy and surprised. 'So tell me little girl, who are you? Please?' Willemijn asked again. 'My name is Sophia and I am indeed a fan of yours.' She giggled and relaxed a little. 'Hello Sophia, beautiful name you have. My name is Willemijn but you know that already, don't you. And I guess you know the others too. So why are you here?' Willemijn asked.
'I don't really know, well yeah I do know I guess but it's quite weird. Haha.' Everyone looked at her and waited for the explanation. She sighed and started telling. About her going to the theatre and walking in through the stage door, going to Willemijn her dressing room and walking into Oz. When she was done no one said anything. 'What is it that creepy?' Sophia asked shy and ashamed.
'No not at all, okay a little. But I don't get it why you are here and why we are here while we were not at the same place. I mean we got here when we were walking in the forest and you got here after you went to my dressing room.' Willemijn really didn't get it.
'Maybe there is a task for the three of you.' Glinda said what all surprised them. 'Glinda you just said something really smart, you know?' Elphaba added sarcastic. 'Why, thank you Elphie. I'm not that blonde as I look.' And she stuck out her tongue. 'But if we are here for some kind of task, what is that task then?' Sophia asked but nobody could tell. But before anyone could come up with a possible idea they heard screaming not to far away. 'Gale force.' Elphaba hashed.
