Chapter 10

Glinda's POV

I jumped out of Norbert's and my kiss and turned to stare at Lin. Her eyes were glassy

and they showed pain, hurt, and grief. "It's all my fault Mom. If I would have paid more

attention. Jen would still be here with us right now." She said as she wiped the tears from

her eyes. Norbert and I ran to her as did Elphie and Fiyero. I took her in my arms and let

her let the tears flow. I brushed my fingers through her blonder hair as I comforted her.

"Lin, this isn't your fault. Jen was doing her duty. She will be fine I promise. We are going

to get her back. Now as for Morrible I don't think we could help her much now could

we." She giggled and smiled softly at me. "You always know how to bring a smile on

someone's face even in the worst of times." Norbert said as he rubbed my back. "Alright,

it is enough for the reuion thing. It's time we take action. Jen is missing and who knows

where she is.' Fiyero said standing above us. Elphie was at his side. Her arm around his

waist as he did the same with her. "Yero is right. Glinda we must find Jen and fast.

Morrible only took her because she wouldn't move away from Lin. So she is probably just

holding her hostage." Elphie said hopefully. The hope was very dim in my heart. When I

had took my trust in Jennifer Laura Thompson to keep watch after my daughter there was

no doubt in my mind that she was the right girl. She was shocked at first but understood

quickly. She was smart, cunning, clever, loving , and beautiful. I don't think no human

could compare to her abilities. Except for Norbert of course. She loved Lin like her own

sister. And yet I felt as though it was my fault. She didn't have any family so we took as

our own. And now she was in danger because she kept her promise to Norbert, Elphie and

me. I signed and looked to Lin who was still in my arms. I could tell she had come to love Jen as much as I had. I smiled at her as her eyes brightened. I knew then that if Lin had

hope of getting Jen back then so did I. Norbert and Fiyero went to go and get the gale

force ready to leave for the search. Elphie and I would try and teach Lin some simple

spells to where she could help us. That was when I had noticed my daughter's marks. The

one's on her arms and legs had left her but the beautiful echanting design on her forehead

still remained. This made me very curious. But also frightened.

Jen's POV

"LET ME GO." I screamed struggling against the hard iron chains that bound me to the

cold wall. Morrible just stood there and smirked in pleasure. "Now, Jennifer let's not get

you too tired now. I need you to help me with something." she said with a evil grin. I

shook my head. "Never, I'll never tell you anything about Lin. I love her too much to do

it." I said with pride. My blonde wig had been ripped off and my real red hair was falling

in my face. I could imagine how horrible I looked right now. Morrible was now fiddling

with my crown I wore in the show. "So, interesting. It is so close to Glinda's but in some

ways it is far from it.' She said as she threw the crown and let it hit me in the face. "Now,

listen up Ms. Jennifer. Either you are going to tell me what I want to know about Linda or

so help me I will make you wish you hadn't." She said angerly. I also got mad when she

used Lin's real name. Even though Glinda never used it herself. It was Norbert's wish

that he had told Glinda before she left to have Lin. Tears ran down my face at the very

thought of Lin and the rest of the people I had come to know and love. This made me

resist even more. "NO, I will never tell. And nothing you could do would change my

mind." I said feircly. Morrible just signed. As she came close to. She slapped me on the

right cheek. A sting of pain surged through my skin. This made me cry a little more. Then

she grabbed my face with her cold chalky hands. I was now facing her. Eye to eye, nose to

nose. "Well, if that is your decision you leave me no choice." I breathed harder as my

heart speed up. I could tell I was showing the fear that had come over me. She just

chuckled once more. "It is a shame to have to loose the life in such beautiful blue eyes.'

Then everything went black once again.
