Chapter 8

Glinda's POV

Fiyero and Nor paced quickly back and forth in the library. Lin Meg and I sat comfortably on the cough while Elphie, Nessa , and Rye sat on the other giant cough and Jen sat at the desk looking over a map of Oz.

"Okay so if Boq and who ever got him out are in the Uplands. They would have to be going to the ball.' Nor said in a serious tone. "Yea but what could they gain by going there?' Nessa asked. "Well like Troy said all of the riches and highest people in Oz will be there. I mean come on that's making all those people live bait." Megan said with concern.

"She's right, but Boq has to have another reason. Maybe he knows we're coming. He knows Dimitri will be there." Lin said nervously. Megan's face shot up in fear. "No, No we have t do something. He can't touch Dimtir. I won't let him." She said in anger. I quickly grabbed her arm and pulled her back down beside me. 'Megan sweetie. Calm down, don't worry he won't get near Dimtiri. I promise." I said trying to help her. "But Glin, how can we help him. I'm not a princess." Megan said to me stating the obvious. But that's when it clicked. How come I never thought of it before? A smile curled on my lips and I laid my hand onto of Megan's. "Not yet, but you will be." I said devilishly.

Lin's POV

"Mom what do you mean?' I asked curiously. What plan had Mom going on in her head. She grined at me and then looked back to Megan. 'There is a way that we can go to the ball, look out for Boq, and Megan can get Dimtiri back.' Everyone looked at her with curiosity.

"GLINDA PLEASE TELL US ALREADY." Elphie yelled impatiently. Mom giggled seeing the seriousness in Elphie's face. "Whets so funny?" Elphie asked. "It's just Elphie, your beginning to have mood swings." I'm sorry but I even laughed at that one. Elphie's face turned a darker green. The darkest I had ever seen it before.

"I'm sorry Glin." Elphie murmured under her breathe. 'Hey it's alright Elphie. Remember when how I acted when I was pregnant with Lin?"

"Oh No, lets not go into detail about that.' Elphie interrupted with a soft laugh. "But seriously honey what can we do?' Dad asked grabbing her hand.

"Well, I do know a thing or two about how to appear and act as a royal. Maybe I could teach Megan and she could impersonate a princess so her and Dimtiri can get back together, and while that's going on the rest of us can look out for Boq and see what's going on.' Mom explained with pride.

"Glin, that's not a bad idea at all." Jen said happily. Dad nodded his head in agreement.

"Not a bad idea my love, not bad at all." Dad then gave her a quick kiss for a reward.

"Wait," Fiyero said with warning. "The plan is a great idea Glin don't get me wrong. But I'm not risking Fae or the baby with Boq loose." Elphie looked at him with love and rubbed his cheek. "Yero, please I'll be fine."

"But I'm sorry Elphie but I do agree with Fiyero." Nessa agreed. "Well there is always Her Elphie." Mom pointed out sounding hopeful. But all Elphei was sign, "I don't know about that you guys. Do you think it would the best?" Elphie asked with a little but of worry. My mind jumped with wonder.

"Wait what do you mean?" I asked when Megan giggled a little. 'You never told her? Elphie I'm surprised at you." Meg said with a smirk. "Tell me what?" I asked again. Elphie got up from Fiyero and walked over to me,

"Lin, well I don't really know how to say this any other way. But I have a blood guardian too." My mouth fell open and Elphie laughed easily. "Okay, seriously it's not that big of a shock Lin." She joked closing my mouth with her green hand. "Why didn't you tell me?' I asked shock but a happy shocked Elphie shrugged her shoulders.

"I just didn't see no point until the time was right.' She explained. I shook my head with a giggle.

"Well nows the right time. Come on Elphie pleassssseee tell me who she is?" I begged bouncing with excitement. But then when I saw Elphie's look I realized what I had done.

"Oh Oz I'm turning into a mini Galinda." I said with a fake shock. Everyone laughed when finally Elphie explained, "You remember when I was gone to London to start Wicked over there?" I nodded

"Well, while I was over there I found out that my understudy was my blood guardian. When I began to worry about you and she tried to comfort me and then when she touched my hand some of my spell wore off and she saw my real green hand. So then I realized from then on that she was my blood guardian and yes she knows. Lin, Kerry Ellis is my blood guardian." My eyes went wide and my smile grew.

"Okay, let me get this straight. Kerry Ellis, and I mean The Kerry Ellis. London's Wicked star is your blood guardian?" Elphie just nodded like it was no big deal.

"Okay, this is just too cool for words. How many other Broadway or West End stars are we going to be involved with?' I asked with excitement. Elphie laughed with joy, something I hadn't heard in a while.

"How about you come with me and Jen to go and get Kerry. While your Mom gets Megan in training, and your father and Fiyero prepare. Nessa and Rye can get ready too if they wish to go." She said looking to Nessa. "Of course we are going with you right Rye?" Nessa said happily.

Rye smirked and said, ' Yes I wouldn't miss it for anything." I couldn't help but feel excited. I mean come on Kerry Ellis and all these other Broadway people that were my family. Secretly being a part of Oz and Wicked. I mean come on this would make an amazing story. I thought running with Elphie to get my stuff I needed to hide my marks and I pair of clothes that looked half way like I belonged in the human world.

Boq's POV

"So the little brat and her family I are heading out to get Ms. Kerry Ellis. What a joy." My partner joked evilly. "Well are we going to wait or what did you have in mind?' I asked with a smirk. Oh how good it felt to get out of that cell and smell fresh air. But seriously the woods wasn't the best hideout right now.

"Rest assure Boq, I have a plan to warn them of what is to come if they try and get Miss Megan and Mister Dimitri back together." She said pulling out a dagger. "But, you know there is too much heart in them they won't stop. Besides Dimitir and Megan's bond is too strong and you know it.' I warned but she let out a growl of disgust.

"I know but that doesn't mean I can't try and stop it." She hissed with venom. "Prepare the portal Boq, I'm taking a visit to the London production of Wicked."
