Thanks to dg4g, Elphaba1fan, Akasharouge, and populardarling for reviewing 20.
Now, onto 21.....
"Father's dead. Died of shame because of you! You embarrassed the whole family! I wouldn't be surprised if Mother isn't turning in her grave because of you!"
"Can it Nessa! I've done everything for you, my entire life! And now, I'm able to help the Animals because I don't have to take care of you! You have servants to take care of you, and I have Animals to save!"
"Animals! Animals! Animals! Always those stupid Animals!"
"They need to be saved! They need to be helped!"
"'They need to be helped!' I need to be helped! You never once thought to help me!"
A spell is cast. Silver slippers slowly turn red.
"What are you doing? Stop it Elphaba! Stop it!"
"Finally. I'm doing something good. Finally."
A figure stands from a wheelchair. Another enters, looses his heart, flees.
"I'm sorry Nessa. Everything I've ever done for you never has and never will be enough. I'm sorry."
"Elphaba!"
A green head turns, raven hair whipping around.
"I will pray for your soul."
Dark eyes narrow. The figure stalks out of the house, but turns back, uttering one final sentence. It's the last time they will see each other.
"I will wait for your shoes."
Gasping, Glinda sat up. Drenched in sweat, she searched the room for her green skinned roommate, before remembering that Elphaba was missing.
Tears slid down her cheeks, and she climbed out of her bed, before slipping into Elphaba's. As she snuggled into the covers, her hand found the green bottle under the pillow.
"It was my mother's."
Holding it tight to her chest, Glinda sobbed herself to sleep, the voice ringing in her ears.
"I'll wait for your shoes."
