Chapter 36

Nessa's POV

"So don't worry I am sure Lin can fix all of this." I assured Norbert and Fiyero. They

simply nodded when the door to the room opened. "And, don't you forget it. I am sure

you will enjoy seeing your daughter in misery, and watch your wife's die as well." I said

evilly but secretly laughed in my head about it. Norbert and Fiyero went along with it.

"You even touch my wife and you will die at my hands you, you Wicked Witch of the

East." Fiyero said adding a hiss to his voice. I chuckled. "Please, we will see about that." I

replied with a smile but a good smile not the smile Boq was thinking about. "Nessarose,

there you are. I have a plan to get that brat to turn me back human,' I stared at him. "Oh

wow Boq that's wonderful." I stammered. He pulled my hand into his cold tin one. "And

then we can finally be together. Just you and me. Come we have to go make plans.' Boq

said surprisingly happy tugging me away from Norbert and Fiyero. I looked back to them

and they only nodded. I returned the nod and headed on out with Boq. Maybe I could get

to Lin and Megan before Boq or Morrible was able to? Oh how I hoped so as my heart

began to beat at a racing speed.

Elphaba's POV

"Glinda are you serious?" I asked in astonishment watching Glinda's smile reach it highest

point. She giggled with joy. "Yea Elphie, I saw Lin. She made her own bubble. I know it

for sure. I felt her." She said as I tear filled her eye but she remained smiling touching the

bare part of her chest with her hand where he necklace should be, "This is good. And I

mean really really good." Jen said with a smile sitting beside me on the bed while Glinda

stayed at the window. "Megan and Lin are so close. They can do it." Jen said happily

bringing me in her arms. I hugged her back with joy. "Fiyero would be so happy right

now." I said with a soft smile as my heart ached for my love. "So would Nor." Glinda

added. I could tell by how her expression changed that her heart was aching as well. "Hey,

I am sure that they are fine. They are big boys. And very strong ones at that." Jen added

making us all laugh easily. Glinda looked out the window and her face instantly lit up. "It's

LIN and MEGAN." She squealed with joy. My heart skipped a beat when she said their

names. Jen and I both ran to window in just enough time to see a bright light blue bubble

coming down from the clouds, carrying two small figure. One with a cape and one holding

a long box. "It's the Wand.' I said with joy and laughed easily seeing that Lin was wearing

my old black cap around her neck and my hoodie. I could barley see the fabric of the light

blue and pink dress underneath it. Glinda and Jen both giggled. "Well, we know one thing.

Your hoodie and Glinda's dress could be a new fashion statement." Jen joked easily. But

then someone came to the door. A group of guards holding rifles grinned at us evilly. "I

do believe Master Boq, Morrible, and Miss Nessarose wishes to see you." We all

exchanged looks. Glinda's was the most frightening. Lin was in danger. Flying down in

her bubble right now probably wasn't the best idea. The guards came forward and placed

chains on our wrists and one big one around our waist. Each of the chains around our

waist connected to one another. We didn't fight we knew it would be pointless too. I just

hoped that Lin and Megan would be alright and safe.

Lin's POV

The Emerald City to my disliking looked even more grey and grimmer as we glided down below the clouds and towards the garden near the palace. The palace looked like it had

been through a war. The looked very much darker and there were holes in it where

Morrible had banged their way in. "Now Lin. This isn't Kiamo Ko. You have to be more

careful this time." Megan warned me cautiously. I nodded and began to concentrate on the

ground. It was hard but I had managed to get us safely on the gardens ground in a matter

of a few minutes. "Good job Lin. Now let's go get our family back." Megan said joyfully

and courageous. "I don't think you want to walk right into a trap." Nessarose's voice

came behind us as she stepped out from one of the bushes. Megan face became very angry

and fierce. "You touch her and you will die." Megan warned stepping in front of me.

"Shhh, I am on your side." Nessa said calmly. Megan hesitated at this. "How do I know

that?" Megan said testing her. 'Why did you think I said I would try. I meant I would

make sure your family stayed safe and that is just what I have done." That was when my

mind clicked. And I looked into Nessa's eyes and saw they she was telling the truth I just

had this talent by looking into someone's eyes that I knew they were lying or telling the

truth. "She's telling the truth Meg. I can tell." I said with a clear voice. I let my hope flow

to Meg causing her to get a chill. Then she looked to me and nodded. "What do you mean

a trap?' Megan asked in a worried voice?" Nessa relaxed, I mean she relaxed and signed

deeply. "Boq and Morrible plan on using Lin's powers to turn Boq back to human and

then he would keep Glinda and kill everyone course Boq lied to me about us

being together but I didn't buy it. I t makes me want to hurt him even more. Morrible has

them all in the throne room right now waiting on me to bring you two there by force. They

gave me this magic to help force you to come with me. They didn't want to cause a lot of

attention.' Nessa explained showing us a small pouch holding some red dust. My mind raced. What could we do. Mom was doomed from this point. I thought nervously. "Wait,

Nessa I have an idea. I think it just might work." Megan said with a mischievous grin.

Nessa returned it and I just smiled. "What did you have in mind Miss Megan?" Nessa said

in an impressed voice. Then Megan began to explain her brilliant plan. As she did I could

tell Morrible and Boq were in for a big surprise.

Glinda's POV

"NOR," I yelled as the guards brought him in. He didn't look that bad off. Probably not as

bad I did. "YERO," Elphie yelled with relief as they sat them beside us. I dived into Nor's

arms. Tears ran down my cheeks and his smell and warmth filled my heart. "Oh Nor, thank

goodness. I was so worried.' I said putting my face in his chest. "I miss you too Love.

You have No idea how much my heart ached for you." Nor's voice sounded like a chorus

of angels in my heart. He pulled me by the chin to look him dead in the eyes. He observer

my scared lip and cheek. But I couldn't keep my eyes from looking to his beautiful lips. In

a mere second our lips met as we kissed each other passionately. My mouth opened for his

tongue to wrap around mine. Oh how much I loved him. "Oh how sweet. Fiyero and

Elphaba , Glinda and Norbert. Yuck make me want to gag. It's a shame that you won't be

together for long." Boq said with a laugh causing Nor to end the kiss. "What, you think

you can take my Glinda away from me?" Norbert said protectively. "Oh yes, I believe I

do. Once your daughter makes me human again then I will handle all of you then it will

just be Glinda and me." He said with a snicker. Nor wrapped his arms around me allowing

me to lay my head on his chest. No not Lin. She wouldn't do that. She's too strong to.

"Lin, would never make you human again, and neither will I." Elphaba said with a hiss.

She was still wrapped in Fiyero's strong arms. Boq looked at her with a smirk. "I know

that but Lin would do anything to save her Mother. Now wouldn't she." Boq said bending

over and trying to touch my face with his cold tin hands but Nor blocked his path. "Uh,

well let's wait and see what Nessa brings for us, shall we." Morrible said with pleasure.

Then the giant door to the throne room creaked open and what I saw shocked me beyond

belief. Megan came in her face pale as chalk, his eyes filled with pain and recrect. I noticed

she was carrying something in her hand. Some kind of fabric. Nessa came in shortly after

carrying the box with the wand inside in her hands. My heart stopped when the door shut

behind them and Lin did not come in. "Where is she? Where is my Daughter?" I demanded

my voice rising in panic. Megan chalky face looked towards me. Years began to spill

down her cheeks. Then she showed the fabric to me. We all gasped in horror to see that

the fabric was actually Elphie's hoodie, that Lin was wearing in the bubble. But the worst

part was that it was ripped in some spots and covered in blood. "NO, No, LIN. My

LINDA." I yelled as Megan handed me the hoodie. The last thing my daughter wore. "I'm

so sorry Glinda. But Lin died saving my life." Megan began to sob even harder trying to

explain. "Nessa came out, we were almost on the ground and Lin pushed me out of the

bubble with the wand. She said I'll hold them off just get the wand to Mom. Tell her I

Love her and everyone else. But before I could stop her she was already in the air and a

guard shot his rifle and it popped the bubble and Oh Lin." Megan buried her hands in her

face, crying harder. "No, LIN." Elphie and Jen both began to cry hard. Fiyero holding

Elphie, while Meg ran to Jen and pulled her in her arms. "NO, MY LITTLE LINDA.

NO." Norbert moaned pulled me into his arms as we both wrapped the torn hoodie

covered in our daughters blood around us. My heart felt like it was breaking into two. And yet why did I still feel Lin was alright. Like a small light of faith was in my heart

telling me that My Lin was still alive.

Lin's POV

Tears ran down my cheeks as I watched the scene before me. Nessa and Meg were right.

The plan was working but I didn't know how much longer I could bare and watch my

family moan for me when I was fine. "I love you guys." I whispered holding back the urge

to show them I was fine. Just a few more minutes, hurry up Nessa. Please hurry.
