Elphaba lay in bed in the animal hideout trying to rest up without worrying too much. Dr. Dillimond, and the other animals were very kind and let her vent about Fiyero and Glinda whenever she needed too.
After about three days, Elphaba was feeling much better and attempted to stand up.
"Be careful, Elphaba." Mishka the Wolf warned.
As Elphaba stood up, the world started to spin around. "Whoa, maybe I need another day." She said.
"Do you feel faint? Here, have some water." The Wolf suggested.
"Thank you." Elphaba gratefully accepted the water. "I would like to leave here tomorrow, my friends are in danger." She said.
"Of course, Miss Elphaba, but you must think first of your health. If you aren't feeling well, there is not much you can do to help them. You need your strength." And so, Elphaba stayed for a little longer.
Back in the Emerald city, Glinda and Fiyero were still locked up. "Fiyero, do you thing that it was a really bad idea to tell the people of Oz all of that?" Glinda asked.
"You had to, in order to save Elphaba." He replied. "You were very brave to do that for her."
"I'm sure you would have done the same." Glinda said.
"I would have probably done something stupid…" he paused and sighed. "I can't do anything right, Glinda. I've let us and Elphaba both get into danger, and we have no way of saving her."
Glinda put her hand on Fiyero's shoulder. "Don't you worry about Elphie, she's pretty tough. And besides, we'll get out of here" she smirked "I have a deviodious plan."
A few hours later, it was getting to be the evening, and the guard who was supposed to be monitoring the cell was falling asleep. Glinda and Fiyero had both noticed that at this time every day, he did that.
Glinda was humming a lullaby softly trying to get the guard to fall into a deep dark sleep. As she hummed, the blonde was making a hook out of the straw on the floor of the cell. Fiyero was watching intently, wondering what Glinda was going to do.
Soon, the hook was finished, and the guard was fast asleep. Glinda used it to grab onto the keys that were attached to his armor and gently bring them into the cell. She and Fiyero had a silent but celebratory victory moment, and then Glinda reached a hand out of the cell bars, and swiftly unlocked the door. She opened it just enough for her and Fiyero to escape. They ran down the hall trying desperately to find an exit.
"This way!" Fiyero shouted. The two dashed down a corridor.
Shouts of "Hey! Get back here!" were heard ubiquitously through the halls of the prison. As the blonde and the brainless turned another corner, they soon discovered that they themselves were in fact cornered.
"It's a good thing I have my mini wand with me! Bubbles!" Glinda shouted. She pointed her wand at the circle of guards that was surrounding them, and spun around, bubbles coming ferociously out of her wand.
The bubbles trapped the guards, and Fiyero and Glinda were able to escape through a secret exit that only Fiyero knew about.
"That was really close!" Fiyero said.
"You can say that again!" Glinda replied.
"You can say tha-" before Fiyero could finish his sentence, he noticed that a large fish-like woman was standing before them.
"You two are going nowhere!" Morrible yelled.
Elphaba was asleep, and dreaming. In her mind's eye, she saw Fiyero and Glinda being carried away by Madame Morrible. "Elphie, we need you! Help us!" she saw Glinda yell. The green girl woke with a start, suddenly upright in her bed.
"I can't stay here any longer, they need me!" she thought.
Elphaba got up, stumbling a little bit because she was still a bit weak. She searched every closet and nook until finally, she found something suitable for flying… a chair. She sighed. "This will have to do, since there isn't a single broom to be found." She thought aloud.
The green witch chanted a levitation spell, grabbed the Grimmerie, and left the animal hideout, flying towards the emerald city… and her best, and only friends.
This is probably going to be the second to last chapter. We'll see if I can manage to wrap it up next time. PLEASE review!
