In this chapter….it will consist of Elphaba, Glinda, Elsa, and Violet. Now I will stop yapping and let you all read this chapter. Read and enjoy!

Chapter 7

Elsa is breathing softly through her nose as her battered body is resting on a soft, warm bed. She has been out for about five hours since her unconscious body was recovered by Violet. She was found lying near the rubble that was once the café. The doctors say there should be no medical reason for her to be unconscious. She didn't suffer any head injury nor had enough blood loss to make her faint. Glinda could, though, sense some kind of magic surrounding her daughter, one that made her skin tingle and not in a sexy way either. She had to reassure her distraught wife and Nessa that it just a temporary thing. It brought the two little comfort after hearing this. This event has shaken everyone to the core. Elsa and Kira have gotten hurt but they don't know if they were the target in all of this or they just happen to be collateral damage. Violet tried to explain the best she could but she had to get medical attention herself plus she has immense guilt plaguing her mind. She didn't think she protected her girlfriend at all. Elphaba had a talk with her once she was done getting fixed up. She reassured the solder she did her best and there was nothing to feel guilty about especially when Elsa used her powers to escape her hold. Once done, she had Glinda whip up a calming potion and a sleeping potion. She needed the rest.

"Mmm…" Elsa groans as she is finally returning to the world of consciousness. She hears muffled voices with her e yes moving back and forth under her eyelids. Within a few seconds, her icy, blue eyes reveal themselves to the world. She blinks her eyes before looking around to take in her surroundings. She stares at the white ceiling before looking to her right to see her distraught looking parents sitting there.

"Mother, momma…" She says quietly as she tries to sit up but as soon as she moves her chest, she feels a sharp pain going down her from her left ribcage. Yep, definitely broke a couple of ribs. Her head starts to spin as well. The ice witch gives a sickly groan as she rubs her forehead. She still feels foggy and there is still a slight ringing in her ears.

"Take it easy. You have two broken ribs and a magical whammy on your head." Glinda responds to her daughter's movements. Elsa rubs her forehead some more with a soft exhale. That explains the heaviness and swimming feeling in her head. She closes her eyes but immediately regrets it as her mind is filled with those glowing eyes staring at her from the darkness. She gives a frightened gasp before her eyes snap open. She flinches slightly when she feels a worm touch on the side of her face. She is still unnerved by what has happened to her.

"Elsa."

The platinum blonde looks up and to her right to see her parents staring at her with deeply worried looks on their faces. They are just glad that their daughter wasn't one of the casualties in the explosion at the café in the Emerald City. Thought they don't know if it was just a one-time thing or if there will be more. All the witnesses have described the same thing. A great ball of fire just came out of the sky and crashed into the building. Not much to go on but Elsa hasn't given her story yet.

"What happened?" Elphaba asks as the two women watch their daughter tense up greatly after the question was asked. It's clear something else happened.

"Somebody was there. Somebody wearing a hooded robe. I couldn't see their face." Elsa speaks hollowly all the while she stares at her blankets. She sees another flash of those bright eyes and tries to push it out of her mind. She doesn't know why those are sticking with her. Soon she is enveloped in a blanket of warmth, comfort, and love. It makes her relax and the pain dull for now. The ice witch looks back to her parents then down to her hand to see both pink and green hands resting on top of her own. She could bust out crying right now because of the love she feels at this moment.

"It's ok. We are here. Take your time." Glinda reassures their daughter with a loving smile. They can see how shaken up Elsa is about this event. Elsa sends a grateful look to her parents. They have always been an amazing support system for her. If she was upset about something they'd be with her but let her speak when she was ready to speak.

"I-They had a message. They said that a storm is coming and everything I love will be destroyed. Enjoy your peace while you can before it's ripped away from you." The ice witch repeats what was told to her but doesn't tell about the glowing eyes. She just doesn't want to relive it again right now. Both Glinda and Elphaba feel their veins go cold at hearing this threat. They were hoping that they wouldn't have to deal with anything like Morrible again especially since they don't know who is doing this. The two women exchange a glance before looking back to their daughter. They need to get on this as soon as possible before there is another attack. Elsa exhales shakily as there are things she needs answers to. In her mind, she sees a flash of a white tail disappearing into the crowd. Did Kira make it out alive?

"Kira? Please, tell me she is alive." Elsa asks with desperation. She will be devastated if she lost her childhood friend in all of this. She feels a sense of relief when her mother sends her a reassuring smile. At least the white Tiger is alive. The good witch shifts in her chair before licking her lips.

"She is alive. She was found outside of the café unconscious with a toddler wrapped protectively against her body. She took the brunt of the blast while protecting the young child. She is being treated for burns and most of her tail had to be amputated because it was badly damaged by a fallen debris laying on it. I would recommend a peace offering to her though. She is not happy about what you did." Glinda answers with a slight smile. When Kira woke up from being knocked out and was informed of what happened. Glinda has never seen the Tiger so furious in her life. She said some swear words and if she still had a tail it would be whipping back and forth on the bed. The poor bed suffered a shredding too. It took Nessa quite some time to calm her adoptive daughter down and once that happened Kira passed out from exhaustion.

"Noted. I'm just happy she is alive." The ice witch replies with relief. She will take what ever ear licking from the Tiger when she visits her. Her eyes move back and forth with an exhale. That's one out of the two people that is doing all right. There is one more person she needs to know about.

"Violet?"

"Violet is right here?" the familiar husky voice speaks up from behind the two witches. Elsa looks past her parents to see her girlfriend standing in the doorway, still wearing her Gale Force uniform. Though it looks worse for wear at the moment. She sees the soldier is sporting a nice cut on the right side of her face. It starts just below the eyebrow and goes downward until it ends mid cheek. She doesn't look like she is in much pain. The two women stare at each other for a prolonged time until Elsa looks away with a shaky exhale. She doesn't know where their relationship stands after her little stunt.

"Elphie, let's go and get some food for her." Glinda picks up on the vibe and knows the two want to be alone. Elphaba nods her head before she leans forward towards her daughter and places a loving kiss on the side of her head.

"We'll be back, ok?" the good witch reassures her as she kisses her daughter after her wife is done. They murmur their love for her before they leave her side. Violet bows to them while remaining stony face. She doesn't stand straight until she hears the click of the door closing. Her violet eyes hone in on her girlfriend. There are so many feelings swirling around in her mind that she can't just feel one of them. Elsa silently winces in pain as her breathing gets heavy. She has never felt so nervous before in her life. This might be the end for the two of them.

"That was the stupidest thing you did." Violet finally speaks up, trying to keep the fear out of her voice. She has never been so scared in her life when she watched Elsa get close to the building and be enveloped in a bright light once the ball of fire hit the building. The ice witch stares at her hands with a soft exhale but she tries to straighten her spine as best as she could which is hard to do with a couple of broken ribs.

"I would do it again. People needed help! It's not fair that I was the you protected."

When she said this an intense fire rises up in the violet colored eyes. The soldier gives a rueful scoff as she shifts back and forth on her feet. She is trying to remain fully composed but it's getting harder and harder to do especially after hearing that.

"I didn't do it because you're my girlfriend. I think you forget that you're the daughter of the ruler of Oz. I have to secure you safely before I can even help everybody else. It's protocol." Violet shoots back as her voice starts to shake as she can't stop her emotions from running haywire. Elsa gives a huff as she looks away from her girlfriend. She shouldn't be put on a pedestal when people are in danger. It's not like she is helpless like they are. She can use magic and is trained by the Gale Force. She should be able to help not pushed behind a wall because she is royalty.

"People could have been saved if it weren't for that stupid rule." The platinum blonde murmurs as she grips the blanket in an iron grip. Violet puts a hand to her face with a frustrated sigh. The ice witch doesn't understand it.

"That's how its always been. That's how there have been dynasties because you're important. Plus if you died, you'd leave a lot of loved ones devastated." Violet points out before she slowly makes her way towards the bed with tears in her eyes. Her heart would have been ripped out of her chest if Elsa died today. The ice witch breathes softly through her nose as her posture softens. She can't argue with that. Though the people who have died has families that are grieving now. She looks to her right when she feels her bed dip down as Violet sits next to her with tears rolling down her face. Elsa is overwhelmed by seeing the raw emotion in those violet eyes. She has never seen such fear in the soldiers before. She winces greatly when she tries to turn and face her better. Breaking ribs suck. Though she guesses it's better then not being alive. The hooded figure could have killed her for sure.

"Vi…"
"Elsa, I thought I lost you today and it scared me so much. I-I don't know what I would have done if I found your dead body. You mean everything to me." The soldier interrupts strongly as she looks her girlfriend straight in the eyes. Her whole body is starting to tremble as the weight of the day is finally getting to her. The silverly blonde ignores her own pain as she gets closer to Violet. With a grit of her teeth she manages to touch the side of her girlfriend's face, the side that doesn't have the injury on it. She uses her thumb to caress the wet flesh with soft eyes. That's one of the sweetest things she has ever heard of.

"You didn't and you won't" Elsa whispers as she tries to lean in and kiss her but is forced to stop when her ribs shoot up in massive pain. To say this injury sucks is an understatement. She gives a smile when Violet leans in the rest of the way and completes the kiss. She then carefully places the ice witch back down onto the bed. Elsa needs to rest her injury now. The two women break the kiss but the soldiers still hovers over her with love shining down to the woman beneath her.

"I'll be right here, ok?" Violet says softly as she rubs her hand on the cool, pale cheek. The ice witch nods her head before closing her eyes and soaks in the touch with a small smile on her face. She doesn't see the glowing eyes staring at her time. With the smile still on her face, Elsa falls back asleep with the soldier's presence making any potential nightmares flee in her wake.

I hope you are all happy that Kira has survived the attack but has lost her tail in the processes. I guess that is better then being dead. I was going to kill her off initially but then Elsa wouldn't have that person who will have her back when she is off at Shiz and be that little voice in her ear to help guide her along. Somebody will be killed off though in this story. Have fun figuring that one out. Hehe. That won't be for awhile though. Violet and Elsa seem to be good, which is nice. Next chapter will be Elsa and Kira talking then it will jump forward to the two of them heading off to Shiz. Hehe. Anyways, I'll see you next week! Until then!
