Hello! Yes, I'm back! Why do I always do that? Any who... This chapter Is dedicated to the most Ozsome reviewer ever! Wickedly Hope Pancake! Seriously she's reviewed every single chapter of everything that I've posted! So, Hope this chapter is dedicated to you. (Hence the name of the chappie!)
Doglover645: Haha, Your reviews were hilarious! So glad you decided to read this!
Hope: I guess you were kinda, maybe, sorta right... But truly she's not really related to her biologically, they aren't sister, but they're LIKE sisters!
Disclaimer: One can only dream... Wait, I think i already used this one! Oh, well.
It had been two weeks and Ariettas's condition had only deteriorated. Cierrah's stay at Shiz had been extended, because no one really wanted her to go back to a presumed murderer and Cierrah didn't really want to leave until Arietta woke up. Because she had to wake up. She just had to. So Cierrah had been staying in Elphaba and Galinda's dorm, in Arietta's bed.
Fiyero had also gotten mysteriously sick. It seemed that as Arietta got worse, so did Fiyero. Elphaba knew that Cierrah knew why, But every time she tried to get close to the subject, Cierrah would mumble an excuse and run out. Elphaba could've sworn she heard her say, "There's no saving him if she dies." But that would be ridiculous, right?
WICKED-WICKED-WICKED-WICKED-WICKED-WICKED-WICKED-WICKED-
Arietta could hear and see everything that was happening. It was as If she was a ghost and could walk around and no one would see her. But she knew she wasn't dead. Not yet anyways.
She had seen everything. Elphaba trying to be strong for her, Cierrah crying over her, Galinda freaking out over her, and Fiyero going down with her. The worse part was, she couldn't do anything about that but try and stay alive. There was only one last hope for them. She had had a vision about a shrouded man perforing a spell. She knew that Elphaba was powerful enough to perform it, and with her powers added in, she would either die or awaken. She preferred the latter over the former, but she wasn't doing this for herself. She had to do this for Fiyero. He had a country to rule. He, unlike she, couldn't afford to die. Now all she had to do was tell Elphaba. But how?
WICKED-WICKED-WICKED-WICKED-WICKED-WICKED-WICKED-WICKED-WICKED-
"Fiyero, look at you!" Elphaba shouted. Fiyero had looked at himself, bloodshot eyes from not enough sleep at night and he hadn't been attending school due to a pounding headache.
"Fae, please don't shout." Elphabas face softened. "Yero, what's going on?" she asked softly.
"I don't know. It all started that day that Arietta got shot." Fiyero said. Elphaba gasped, remembering Cierrah's little slip-up: "If she dies there will be no saving him."
"Fiyero, get some sleep." She said before running out of the room. She headed over to the lunch table where Cierrah sat with Galinda, Milla, Shenshen, and occasionally Elphaba herself.
"Cierrah Tehrson!" Elphaba yelled The blonde whirled around and Elphaba caught her arm bringing her towards a private spot in the library.
"What is it, Elphie?" She asked. Oz, not Cierrah too! Oh well, there were more important things at hand.
"How are Arietta and Fiyero conncted?" She demanded.
Cierrah seemed caught off guard by Elphaba's question. "Excuse me?" She said.
"Don't play dumb, I know you know!"
"I uh, I, you see, I uh.." Cierrah stuttered.
"Spit it out!"
"I can't tell you." Cierrah said. Elphaba stared at her long and hard. "Im sorry! I honestly cant! Arietta is the only one who can answer that!"
"Yes well, Arietta isn't here!" Elphaba reminded her. They heard a faint scratching sound and both girls turned around to see a pen writing by itself. They leaned forward to read it.
Yes I am.
"R-Ria?" Cierrah asked.
Who else could it be!
"Hey, look at that even in writing you're annoying!" Cierrah said excitedly.
Im choosing to ignore that!
"How?" Elphaba asked.
I can hear and see everything that has been happening. And before you ask Cierr, no I'm not a ghost, I'm still ery much alive. For now, at least
"Gee, that's optimistic." Cierrah muttered.
"So, how do we keep you alive?" Elphaba asked.
I had several visions of different people chanting a spell.
"Vision?" Elphaba asked skeptically
You were right, Elphaba. It isn't just telekinesis. The spell was:
"Rela al Nahmen tu
Supiera sun Nahmen tu
Util pace morte na
Fujili motar na."
You, me, Galinda and Nessa will perform the spell.
"Why Nessa?"
She has her small portion of power as well. Its not a big contribution, but its something.
"And what exactly will this spell do?" Cierrah asked.
Either save me or kill me.
"Then we cant! It might kill you!" Cierrah argued.
"We have no choice." Elphaba said.
And Elphaba one last thing.
"Yes?"
Don't tell Fiyero.
Elphaba nodded and both girls went to gather the others.
A little while later, All 4 of them were there: Elphaba, Arietta, Galinda, and Nessa.
"Fabala are you sure about this?" Nessa asked.
"No." Elphaba answered flatly. "But we have to try." They all joined hands. Although Elphaba couldn't see Arietta she could feel her presence and It gave her strength.
"Rela an nahmen tu
supiera sun nahmen tu
util pace morte na
fujli mortar na."
Nothing happened. Elphaba sighed and Galinda and Nessa began to cry. Arietta could feel herself fading away. Then, her eyes (in her body) snapped open.
"Aria!" Elphaba shouted. "Youre ok!"
Arietta smirked. "Oh, Elphaba. You of all people should know that you cant get rid of me that easily."
Ok so hopefully you don't want to murder me now? And next chapter we might, emphasis on the MIGHT, find out what Arietta is hiding...
