Ok the time has come; the wait is over for you all, as I always say enjoy it!
Whenever Glinda could she locked herself away from the world. She would just sit alone and wait for Elphaba to come back to her. It was the only thing that kept her going lately and the wait was becoming too unbearable for her. She shut out the concerned maid's and how they fussed that she should eat and so on so forth but she really didn't care. Avaric had let her be, which was some what of a surprise to her. At least now he had gotten the full impression that she hated him with every inch of her being. She sat reading in her library, a chance to escape her life for a short while and just as she reached the half way point there was a knock on the door.
''Who is it?'' Glinda called out wearily.
''I have food for you, you're goodness.''
''Come in Mary.'' Glinda put down her book and smiled warmly to Mary as she opened the door. She breezed in with a friendly smile.
''You must eat Miss.''
''I realize that, it does smell delicious, I must say.''
''Well good, it's a family recipe Your Goodness.'' Glinda looked up at the presence of a new maid, she had pale skin against her long raven hair and- Glinda double glanced, examining the woman with her eyes. The maid dared to look at her and for the briefest of moments they made eye contact. She knew those eyes anywhere. Glinda spilled the tea Mary was pouring out for her and jumped as the cup smashed against the floor.
''Oh Mary I'm so sorry.'' Glinda got to her knees and begun picking up the pieces.
''Don't do that Miss you'll hurt yourself.'' The new maid knelt down opposite her and begun picking up the sharp pieces instead of her. Glinda stared at her closely now she was transfixed. Was this her Elphie? The pale skinned Elphaba looked up and gave a warm smile and nodded gently, as though she knew what she was thinking.
''Erm Mary would you fetch me some erm fresh ink from the store?''
''Erm of course, writing ink?'' She finished laying out her food for her.
'Yes please, don't rush though I'm not that desperate for it.''
''Of course Your Goodness, come along Idina.'' Glinda stayed her hand for her not to go.
''That's ok she can stay and help me clean up.'' Mary nodded and left the room slightly puzzled. They waited for her footsteps to die away until they even moved never mind spoke. Elphaba smiled and opened her mouth to speak, but Glinda was too quick for her, she held her face in her hands and kissed her lovingly. Needing her touch, Elphaba kissed back, longingly. Her lips were heavenly against her own, soft and pink, true Glinda. Glinda pulled away and eyed her lip again.
''Now I know it's you.''
''Oh so you might have just kissed a complete stranger?'' Elphaba joked.
''I knew it was you, you still have the same eyes.'' Glinda laced her hand through her lover's.
''What type of name is Idina?'' Glinda smiled.
''What's wrong with it? I thought it was nice.'' Elphaba defended herself.
''It is it's just you're so different.'' Glinda stroked her arms with her hands, transfixed by her new colour. Each touch was giving Elphaba the shivers, here she was in the same room as her love, once and for all.
''Oh Elphie, thank Goodness your back.'' Elphaba hugged her tight, like a mother may do to her child.
''It's ok, I'm not letting you go again.''
''That better be true, you have no idea how much I missed you.''
''Me too my sweet, every second.'' Elphaba stroked her back as Glinda begun to cry more forcefully.
''What is it Glinda? Why are you still crying?'' When Glinda didn't respond, she lifted her chin up so she could see her better.
''Please don't cry I can't bear to see you unhappy.'' Elphaba felt the faint sting as she wiped her tears away, but what really stung her deep was the fact she always had to wipe her tears away. Glinda didn't deserve to be crying all the time; she should be smiling and laughing.
''I need to get out of this place.'' Glinda sobbed and clutched onto Elphaba's apron.
''In time, we can't just run away this second, we have to be careful.''
''Oh Elphie, I can't stand this place really I can't.''
''We need to plan it Glinda, otherwise there's no telling where we'd end up.''
''Elphie I'm scared.''
''Of what?''
''Him, I'm so scared of him Elphie.''
''What has he done to you, has he hurt you?'' Elphaba asked forcefully. Glinda shot up and placed a finger on Elphaba's lips.
''Someone's coming.'' The pair stood up, Glinda walked back over to her seat and got a book ready in her hands. Elphaba got to cleaning up the mess, as Avaric entered the room.
''Darling where have you been all day?'' Elphaba froze at his voice, but kept reminding herself she wasn't green anymore, but would he recognize her the same way Glinda did?
''I've been in here, reading.'' Glinda smiled, gesturing to the book.
''Oh, well I've been looking for you everywhere.''
''Is there something you wanted me for?''
''Yes as a matter of fact.'' Glinda closed her book and just as she was going to ask what, Avaric leant over her and kissed her on the lips. Elphaba looked up and allowed the surge of jealousy pass through her. She didn't realize the blood seeping from her hand as her tight grip around the shards of china cut into her. Glinda couldn't pull away, so she kissed back, trying not to show any signs of something wrong. His tongue dove deep into her, getting turned on just by the feel of her. Glinda placed a hand on his chest and pulled her head back.
''Avaric please.'' Avaric looked over at the maid.
''Oh I didn't realize.'' Avaric smoothed his hair back and smiled at the maid.
''I do apologize I didn't realize we had company.'' Elphaba or Idina as she now called herself simply stared back through envious eyes.
''Does she talk?'' Glinda looked wide eyed at Avaric. If she spoke he would sure recognize her.
''I do, I'm Idina, I'm new here … Sir.'' She forced a smile at the beast. Glinda sighed, she had given out a rather believable northern accent.
''Where are you from? Your accent is … well not from around here.''
''I was born in The Upper Uplands Sir and came to The Emerald City as most do to follow their dreams.''
''So working for royalty's your dream is it?'' Idina nodded.
''Well good, we always need new help around this place. I'm sure you would have much to talk about with Glinda here being from The Upper Uplands too.''
''You'd have no idea.'' She smiled sweetly and he smiled back not picking up on it at all.
''Well I shall see you later my sweet.'' Avaric turned to Glinda. 'My sweet'? That's what Elphaba called Glinda not Avaric to Glinda.
''Until then.''
''Sorry what was your name?''
''El-Idina.'' Elphaba coughed to disguise what she was going to say.
''Well Idina let's leave her be shall we?'' He placed a hand on her back and the pair walked out, leaving Glinda by herself. Glinda sighed and slumped back into her seat.
