A Different Story

by Maleficent-darkgoodwitch2416

Elphaba disappears after Nessa's birth, forgetting her past in Oz. Adopted by Anya and Dimitri, she is later encouraged to make her own 'journey to the past.' Falling for Fiyero, Elphaba must find a way to escape a new curse Rasputin has placed upon her.

38. Grieving and Friendships and Promises

Later, that day, I was still thinking about Grandma, when Nessa came over. "Elphaba, I think it's time you accepted your great-grandmother's death and let her go," Nessa said coldly.

Galinda hurried over and snapped, "Shut up, Nessarose! Let Elphaba grieve in her own way!"

I looked up at the blonde and she said, "I'll explain later."

I nodded and that night, we returned to our room.

"Galinda, thank you," I said, hugging my friend.

"Actually, Elphie, I promised your Aunt Sophie that I'd look out for you until we returned to Paris," Galinda explained.

"Either way, thank you," I smiled.

The next day, we set out for St. Petersburg.
