Chapter 10

"Fiyero?" She paused waiting for an answer. "FIYERO?" She called again. She knew it was a slim chance he'd escaped to the forest but she didn't want to rule it out just yet.

"Fiyero?" She called again.

"He's not here but nice try, dearie." A voice said from behind her. She whirled around to see Morrible.

"Where is he?"

"Now where's the fun in that? You have to find him after all it's your fault he's lost in the first place."

"What did you do with him?" Elphaba sneered.

Morrible laughed. "Maybe you should try another approach."

"WHAT DID YOU DO WITH HIM?" Elphaba screamed, grabbing onto Morrible and shaking her. Morrible did nothing. So Elphaba in a fit of anger grabbed Morrible's neck and squeezed as hard as she could.

"I…. I…. I'll tell you… just… just… please." Morrible choked, trying to breathe. Elphaba loosened the hold of her neck, surprised by her actions. What had she done? She wasn't like this.

"Tell me." Elphaba said, keeping up her tough exterior.

"It's pointless."

"WHY!?"

"Because he's dead!"

"No." Elphaba said, letting go so Morrible fell and hit the ground. "No!" She said louder.

"He's dead, it's over, done with and there's nothing you can do about it now."

"How?"
"He was driving my daughter to school when he got into an accident. He was killed on impact."

"No." Elphaba whispered, still in a state of shock.

"So planning to kill yourself or anything melodramatic like that?" Morrible asked, very obviously.

"No." Elphaba said again more firmly this time.

"No?"

"No." Elphaba stepped towards Morrible a look of pure anger on her face. "I'm going to spend the rest of my life making your life a living hell." Morrible scooted backwards. "Everyday of the rest of your pathetic little life will be spent regretting that moment."

"It was a natural disaster. I had no control of it."

"It doesn't matter. You were the one that sent him out so it was your fault." Morrible scooted into a tree. "And now you're going to pay." With that Morrible teleported herself away.

"COWARD!" Elphaba screamed. "But don't worry I'll find you. I'll find you and show you what a huge mistake you made!"

Morrible teleported back to her home. She was frightened to say the least. She had never seen Elphaba so angry and frankly it scared her.

She collapsed onto her armchair and put her feet up on the chair.

"Would you like me to get you anything?" Fiyero asked in a monotone voice.

"No thank you." He started to walk off. "Wait!" She called. He turned back around. "A tea would be nice."

"Your wish is my command." He spat through his teeth. And walked off. Morrible sighed this had not gone as she wished it would.
