(A/N): Hey hey! Haven't written for this story for a long time. Ah well. This is kind of short, but the next chapter will most likely be longer. You have GreenBabiesRule to thank for this update! Anyhu, enjoy and please review!
Galinda was standing next to the Wizard when Elphaba and Fiyero were brought in. Well, Elphaba couldn't exactly walk, so the younger guard, Jerome, was carrying her. Fiyero was staring at Elphaba, while glaring at the guard who was holding her. He glanced at the Wizard and then seemed to register Glinda standing there. His eyes widened, then narrowed into a glare, and he stepped closer to Elphaba, as though Glinda was trying to harm her.
"Hello dear guests." said the Wizard jovially, "So nice of you to join me."
"Go to hell." Fiyero muttered.
"That's exactly where you'll be if you don't hold your tongue." said the Wizard, glaring at Fiyero. Fiyero glared right back.
"So, Elphaba," began the Wizard, looking at Elphaba's fragile body, pleased with her current state. Elphaba looked up wearily and the Wizard continued, "I have used the whip, I have struck you harder than I've ever hit someone, I've chocked you until you were nearly dead from lack of oxygen and I've used water to point of you begging for it to stop and screaming but nothing is working. So, I had a nice little chat with my good friend Glinda, you know Glinda right?....and she had a few ideas for me on how to get information out of you." Elphaba and Fiyero looked at Glinda. Glinda looked down immediately as tears bubbled into her eyes.
"And that is where you come in Fiyero." said the Wizard, "Elphaba seems to really go far to avoid pain to the one's she loves and cares for. Hmm, who knew someone like her was capable of love. Ha! Anyway, you are so convenient..." Elphaba's eyes flashed, and it was as though a sudden energy had suddenly filled her body. The Wizard smiled, pleased at Elphaba's reaction. He snapped his fingers and the guards brought Fiyero forward.
"Glinda how could you?!" Elphaba yelled, her eyes were glistening with hate...resentment, betrayal.
"It was the only way!" Glinda cried. Never had she ever thought Elphaba would look at her like that. That look was reserved for the Wizard, and now Elphaba was looking at Glinda like that....hate glistened in her brown eyes.
"Shut up!" Elphaba screamed at Glinda, "You monster!" Fiyero was glaring at Glinda darkly. He did not really view this as betrayal to himself, but as betrayal to Elphaba. How could Glinda have done this to her? He was taken to the wall where chains were fastened around his wrists and then the chains connected to the wall. The Wizard came forward and raised the whip that was still glistening with Elphaba's blood. Elphaba could feel fire flooding through her body and she closed her eyes as inhumane rage filled her body, beneath the rage there was betrayal, hurt, so many strong emotions. They burst from her and the Wizard was thrown backwards by an invisible force. The chains around Fiyero shattered to dust. The guards were shot back too, except the one who was holding her. She soon found she had enough energy from her burst of magic to stand and walk again. She leapt out of the guards arms and looked up in time to see her broom floating towards her through the window. She climbed onto it quickly, feeling her energy already beginning to drain from her, she needed to hurry before her energy that was running on one emotional outburst ran out. She quickly flew to Fiyero and he climbed on hurriedly. She was about to fly out, when she turned to look at Glinda.
"Summon your damn bubble and come with us!" she yelled.
"Are you mad?!" asked Fiyero, "You want her to come with us? She'll probably rat out where we are! She'll probably stab us in our sleep!"
"The Wizard might harm her here." said Elphaba, "We can't just leave her."
"Yes we could. Besides it's not like he'd lay a finger on his little trap setting pet anyway." Fiyero growled. Glinda quickly summoned her bubble and followed behind them, tears stinging at her already swollen eyes. Just as the trio had flown out of the window, out of sight and out of the Wizard's clutches, the guards and Wizard began to right themselves, getting to their feet after getting over shock.
"DAMN!" the Wizard yelled, slamming his fist against the wall, "You bloody fools!"
*********************
Fiyero spent the whole ride on Elphaba's broom looking behind him at Glinda. He only turned back to Elphaba when he felt her go limp in his arms.
"Elphaba?" asked Fiyero anxiously, there was no reply. Fiyero quickly took hold of the broom and began to steer it towards the ground, luckily, they were right over Kiamo Ko and he landed on the roof of one of the astronomy towers. He dismounted quickly and held Elphaba in his arms securely, taking her inside. Glinda landed shortly after, he bubble popped and she stood on the roof alone. She scooped up Elphie's broom and followed inside.
