POC2: Well, I think we're winding down to a close. I've got six more drabbles, bringing the total to thirty. Thanks so much to those of you who have been steady reviewers (and to those of you who have been not-so-steady reviewers).
This one is for Selryam who wanted to see Elphaba reflecting on the people she has inadvertently hurt. Here you go!
Oh, in case it's confusing, normal type is Elphaba and italics is that little voice in your head that always points out the things you would rather ignore.
This takes place… during "No Good Deed," I guess. Wow, I have a lot of those, don't I.
I'm not Wicked, am I?
I've hurt so many people.
I saved Boq's life!
He wouldn't have needed saving if I wasn't there.
I rescued the lion cub!
And stole his ability to rescue himself.
Glinda is my best friend!
But I took from her the man that she loved.
I would never hurt Fiyero!
No, I just foolishly put myself into danger, and he decided that he had to save me.
What happened to Nessa wasn't my fault!
Wasn't it? They went after her because we're sisters.
Doctor Dillamond?
I never helped him.
Maybe I am wicked after all…
E: Wow, I come out sounding horrible!
POC2: Sorry, but the point here was to look at everything in the worst possible light. Just intended to show a different side of things. I won't do it again.
Next: A look at one of the least written characters in the Wicked fandom: the Lion.
