Later that week Elphaba sat on a small stone bench in the gardens at Shiz. She was reading her latest essay over again to make sure she had all the details needed, when Elphaba heard the voice of Madame Morrible she turned her head to see what sort of commotion was going on. Her eyes widened as she saw her father shouting at her headmistress. Students looked on as Frex ignored Madame Morrible's warning and stormed up to his eldest daughter. Elphaba looked him in the eye, determined to not let him see her fear.
"Devil Child!" Frex boomed angrily as he grabbed Elphaba's arm harshly "How dare you leave your sister, after everything she's done for you!"
"But Father..." Elphaba began as she tried to pull away from her father "I didn't mean..."
He slapped Elphaba with all the strength he could gather. Elphaba fell to the floor. Frex looked down at her in the same disapproving way he had looked at her since she was a small child of three.
"DON'T YOU EVER SPEAK BACK TO ME!" He spat. Elphaba wiped her hand across her face to get rid of the blood from her nose, it hurt a lot... but she would never let him see her cry. A croud had gathered around the father and daughter, Fiyero pushed through and rushed to the side of Elphaba.
"Oh sweet oz!" Fiyero said in shock as he took Elphaba in his arms "He did this to you?"
Elphaba only nodded in reply as Fiyero helped her up.
"Who the hell do you think you are!?!?" Fiyero yelled his eyes ablaze with fury.
"Her father!" Frex barked as he took a threatening step forward to the pair.
"Well you ought to start acting like one!" Fiyero said as he too took a step forward to meet Frex "Elphaba has been nothing but good to you and Nessa; i know what you used to do to her... and I'm sure as hell not going to let it happen again!"
"Who are you to tell me how to treat my own daughter" Frex questioned as he hit Fiyero in the face with one tightly clenched fist.
"Fiyero!" Elphaba shouted as Fiyero stumbled backwards. Fiyero put a hand on her shoulder for reassurance then returned to face Frex only this time Elphaba joined him defiantly.
"Elphaba you're coming with me!" Frex said dismissively "I'm no longer going to waste my money on your education, for you are nothing but a big waste of space!"
"No" Elphaba said quietly then raised her voice as Fiyero put an arm around her for support "NO, nothing I ever do will be good enough for you... and I'm tired of trying to fix something thats out of my hands..."
"YOU SELFISH LITTLE BRAT!" Frex raised his voice to match hers then took Elphabas arm and pulled her away from Fiyero. He twisted her arm backwards with one sharp movement and didn't stop as she screamed in pain. Fiyero lunged at him tearing him away from his beautiful, Emerald girlfriend.
"Get out of here before i kill you!" Fiyero tried to say calmly but failed. Frex held his ground but was deeply scared by the anger in Fiyero's eyes. "You heard what I said... GO!"
Frex backed away slowly and called over his shoulder "Fine, have her... I only have one daughter, one perfect daughter – Nessarose!"
When he was out of sight Fiyero rushed to the aid of Elphaba, she held her arm and she was clearly still in a lot of pain so Fiyero helped her up knowing she wouldn't want to be carried and they walked to the nurse's office together ignoring all the stares from the rest of the Shiz students.
The nurse examined Elphaba's arm and put a cast on to heal the broken bone caused by her unloving Father. She tended to the sore cuts with oil, bandaging them up carefully.
Fiyero had a gash on his face from where Elphaba's father's wedding ring had torn his skin so the nurse had to stitch it up. After everything had been sorted out Elphaba and Fiyero went back to Fiyero's room know that they could talk in private about the day's events.
They sat on the double bed together and shared a long embrace before engaging in a conversation.
"Yero, I can't thank you enough..." Elphaba said as she clung onto Fiyero protectively with her on good arm "I didn't mean to let you get hurt..."
"Sssh Fae" Fiyero replied returning the hug and kissing the top of her head "I couldn't let him get away with hurting you... and I'm fine it's just a cut, the nurse said it won't even scar!"
Elphaba touched his face gently, examining the cut.
"I'm still so sorry that you had to get involved... I know he could have done a lot worse than that..." She whispered thinking of the previous times he had taken out his anger on her.
"Are you ok?" Fiyero said concerned.
"I'm fine but are you ok?" She smiled.
"I'm not sure...!" He chuckled then pulled her into a long kiss. He pulled back, being careful of her arm "Oh yeah... I'm definitely ok!"
They were both tired after the long day so Elphaba decided to stay over at Fiyero's. Galinda visited to make sure Elphaba was ok and to bring her some extra clothes, Galinda had only just heard of the commotion as she had spent the day shopping in the emerald city with her mother.
Elphaba knew she would have to deal with a lot in the next few years but as long as she had the support Fiyero and Galinda, Elphaba knew she could do anything.
