29. Evanora's Change Of Heart

Theodora nodded at Oscar. "You were right, Glinda is hiding something. I glanced into the cell. Evanora and Evillene were nowhere to be found!" Theodora fired. She let Oscar hold Ann. "Glinda, please tell me that you did not just let them go free." Theodora begged.

"I didn't sisther... It is so... Evillene is a mind controller... She can controll people and let them forse to do things, against their will, so did she do by Evanora... Evanora was never really evil.. All the time she betrayed us... She was under controll of Evillene. So was I, she forsed me to open the jail... I couldn't even controll myself... But... Every night when Evillene was asleep... I came downstairs for Evanora... Who told me more and more about her story... Of what was happening.. Of what Evillene was doing.. We even..." Glinda started to whisper... "Kissed..." Oscar looked up to Theodora, knowing that his visions were the truth, all the time.

"You what?!" Theodora shouted. "We kissed." Glinda calmly repeated. Theodora was suddenly at a loss for words. "Yes, I know, Oscar told me, at the same moment it happened, he knew." Theodora exclaimed. "But why ever would you two be attracted to each other?!" Theodora snapped. "After all the things you two did to each other!" Theodora added. She turned to Oscar. "What does this all mean?" She asked him.

"We forgave... Remember... I am the wish one... And Glinda The Good as well... Evanora never was really Wicked like I told you... It was always Evillene who played with her, put spells on her, played with her, etc. That was why she even lost her beauty as well... But Evanora later found out she could get her powers from an Emerald..." Glinda explained calmly. "I never knew you were bii..." Oscar softly grinned, while he held his hand for his mouth.

"You mean that we never knew that she is attracted to both men and women." Theodora finished. "Evanora is Wicked!" "Evillene had no clue what-so-ever about my hurt feelings towards Oscar." Theodora explained. "Evanora poisoned me on her own!" "She killed me on her own!" Theodora cried, as she fell into Oscar's arms. "Oscar, why is she saying this?" Theodora continued, crying.

"Because it is the truth... Mindcontrolling lies kinda complicated. Like you got poisoned by Evanora, Evanora got poisoned by Evillene... But this happends already a few years ago... That was why she ended up just as Wicked as you was a year ago..." Oscar finished as he dried her tears, not wanting to let her burn herself, then he softly stroke through her hair.

Theodora cried even more, "Oscar, I was never wicked!" "I was broken hearted and hurt!" Theodora exclaimed. "Why are you two doing this to me?!" "Why are you calling me wicked?!" Theodora cried, in Oscar's arms.

"I don't say that you're Wicked... I am talking about a year ago my love... I would never say such a thing, ever again to you." Oscar said as he kissed her forhead, but it was kinda hard because her black hat stood in the way. "I try to say that she ended just like you when... you WERE wicked... You aren't wicked... But I mean in kinda the same way..." Oscar said trying to comfort her.

Theodora looked up at him. "I was never wicked!" She firmly stated. "And I only wear my black hat because you prefer me in it." She added.

"You know what I mean Theodora... Just like you were a victim and didn't know what you was doing, because you were hurted. Happend also to Evanora... And about the black clothes... I said I prefer you in bot, you look cute and beautiful in bot... You are the moost beautiful witch from whole Oz..." Oz grinned as he kissed her on the lips this time.

Theodora started to calm down. "And what of Glinda being "The Most Beautiful Witch In OZ" Theodora re-quoted Oscar's former statement.

"My love.. You know that I love YOU... I see Glinda only as a really close friend. Afther all I am married to you, and I'm in love with you. We even have a daughter, you know that." Oscar said as calm as he could while he slowly took her hat of.

Theodora let her hair fall, as her hat came off. "I know Oscar, I'm just upset." She explained. She turned to Glinda. "You can tell us of your newfound love with Evanora later. Now, we must know where are they?!" Theodora shouted. "If everyone is so forgiving of Evanora why did you let her leave with Evillene?!" Theodora continued. "Speak up, Glinda!" Theodora ordered.

"Calm down Theodora..." Glinda said as she fow her hands in each others. "When... Evillene was mind controlling me... She forced me to open the jails.. And so they came out. Evillene is threaten Evanora... That she will kill her... Destroy her if she doesn't help her. That was why Evanora cried when she had to leave... She didn't want to, but she had to. We can destroy Evillene by breaking her gem or killing her by water... Her worst nightmare..." Glinda said as she continued her story to them.

Theodora gasped. "Evillene has more fire power than me. If she encountered water all over her, well she would melt to the ground." Theodora remarked. "Do you know where they are now?" She asked Glinda.

"They are probably not far away from Emerald City and can always come, I mean like every moment. Unexpected. I am sure it won't be during so long untill they arrive again. Afther all, remember that Evillene wants Emerald City all for her own." Glinda said as she bow her head a little, knowing what was coming. Elphaba stook her hands out to Theodora. "Momma?"

Theodora looked down to the stool where Ann was sitting. "Oh my poor dear." She said, as she picked Ann up. "All this shouting has upset her." "I'd better take her to her room. She'll be safe there." Theodora stated. She left the dungeon, carrying Ann, leaving Oscar and Glinda behind.

Oscar sighed, not sure what was coming now or what he had to think, he was confushed, sad, angry, ubset, happy, all the emotions the same time and even in a depression, from everything that was happening the last time. Even he knowed that not everything was done yet. He knowed more things were going to come, that some of his visions still had to happen.

In the high tower, Theodora laid Ann down. She kissed her cheek and whispered good night. Afterwords, Theodora left the room. She was utterly distraught. She walked outside, onto the terrace. The full moon shined above her. As she sighed, trying to make sense of all that had happened, she heard a distant laughter. A small shadow loomed in the distance of the sky.
