Hey everybody, it's Lin! Well, sorry for the late update, but it took me forever to get a minute to go and type this, but, TADA! Your update. BTW the title of the chapter and a few small details were my idea ;) It was originally supposed to be called "Glinda Accidentally Causes a Natural Disaster", but then it didn't fit on the bar. Booo!
Heidi's POV
We apparated about 20 miles downsteram and set up camp.
I began to make afire, but Glinda came to me.
"Hey Heidi, you always cook and clean and set up everything. I'll cook tonight for you," Glinda offered.
"Uh, I really don't mind… are you sure?"
"Yes, really. I insist."
"Ok… anyway, I have to collect some extra wood and herbs, will you be ok on your own?"
"Yes, don't worry."
"Hey Lin, want to come with me? We need to get more wood and some healing herbs."
"Um sure. What's your name again?" Lin asked.
I sighed but also lightly laughed, "Heidi."
"Ok Heidi, let's go then."
Lin and I walked off. Oh no, did I just make a big mistake?
Glinda's POV
I made a fire, so far so good… I decided to try something simple. I got out a pan and some German sausage.
I split each in half and put them on the pan. I held it over the top of the fire. After about 15 seconds, the sausage were on fire!
Oh no! What did I do wrong? I ran in circles, hoping the fire would go out.
The fire kept getting bigger and the whole pan was in flames. I freaked out and threw it into the fire… the fire got bigger and bigger.
The tent was now on fire and it continued to spread…
Suddenly I heard footsteps. It wasn't Lin and Heidi though.
It was a tall young man with short blonde hair, blue eyes, and tannish skin in a military uniform.
The young man said, "Oh civis… what are you doing out here? Uhh, why are you running around a fire? Oh sorry, the name is Privet first class Alexander Cayran of the 75th U.S. Army Rangers."
"H-hi, Mr. Alexander Cayran first class privet, sir, Uh, as you can see, there is a huge fire here, sir, auh… can you help me out here?"
Lin and Heidi came back.
"Ahh! What happened Glinda? I leave for fifteen minutes and everything is on fire!" Heidi exclaimed.
"It was a natural disaster!" I said quickly.
"Sure, it was a natural disaster."
Alexander's POV
Ok, this woman can't cook and caused a fire. Why are these people out here anyway?
"Sure I'll help. I knew my entrenching tool would come in handy. Ok, fill this bucket with water from the river and throw it on the flames."
The young girl who looked about two years younger than me took the bucket and did as I said and the fire was out. I looked at the girl. How could I overlook it! She had mysterious green skin. Interesting…
"May I as, what are you all doing out here?" I asked.
"IT's a loooooonnnngg story," Heidi said.
"I looked at my watch. "I have time."
"It'll sound crazy," Glinda added.
"Just tell me."
"Well do you know about the musical Wicked?"
"Oh I love the musical Wicked!" Lin exclaimed.
"I've heard of it, don't really know about it."
"Ok well the story of it is all true and the land of Oz is real–" Heidi started to say.
MY radio went off interrupting her.
"Privet first class Cayran? There has been a report of a young sixteen year old girl, a resident of Koln, has been kidnapped and her captor is about 20 miles away from your current location. A witness threw a microchip at him and it is embedded in his hair, so we are able to track him. Go investigate!" the lady on the other end said.
"Umm, that was me…" Glinda said.
"Where did you get a microchip?"
"Uh, magic?"
"Omigod you guys! She's a genius," Lin said.
Heidi looks at Lin with a weird look.
"What?"
"Well no wonder Glinda's your mom…"
"Oh yeah, she is…"
"Omigod, you're not serious."
"Yeah, I'm serious. I have amnesia."
"Anyways, Glinda, did the girl happen to be Hanna?"
"Uhh yeah…"
YAY! THE UPDATE! You won't believe how hard I laughed when Heidi had me read the Glinda part in my Cheno voice. It was funny so I ended up laughing too much.
