Chapter 35

Megan's POV

My hand grasped Dimitri's so tight I thought I might break it. We walked to where we were right in front of Amber and Troy, their faces unreadable, and their eyes showed no trace of emotions. Which really scared me, I hated it when I couldn't tell what the person was thinking. It really got on my nerves. Troy sighed heavily and actually smiled.

"I must admit Miss Megan. What all you just did, hiding as a princess, coming all the way here, and fighting against Zandra was very brave and loyal of you." Troy said in a very pleased tone.

"So we feel that you have proven yourself, that you and our son deserve each other. You both may be husband and wife. We hope that you will forgive us." Amber said with a bright smile. Dimitri and I looked at each other with smiles that I don't thik could have left our faces. He pulled me in his arms and began to twirl us around. I giggled and brought his lips to mine. His hand cupped my jaw when my feet firmly touched the ground.

"We will marry tonight my love." He said in between the kiss. My heart raised high in my chest and I felt that I finally get the love of my life, I have always wanted.

Then the moment was ruined by Lin's cry of pain. Dimitri and I ran to her side to see her placing her hands on both sides of her forehead. Glinda held Lin with worry, "Lin, baby what's wrong?"

"Burning." Was all Lin said and her cries slowed down then completely stopped. She lifted her hands away from her forehead and we all gasped in awe. There near Lin's eyes on her beautiful vine like marking was two identical small pink roses sparkling like glitter was all over them on each side of her face. Glin looked in amazment at them.

"Lin there beautiful." Then I realized something. Her marks, were representing the places of Oz.

Lin had just earn her markings of the Uplands.

*A few hours later*

Lin's POV

Amber and Troy had already had a place for the wedding set up since tonight was they planned on Dimitri marrying someone. It all looked so beautiful and perfect. Everything was a bright yellow and white, flower pedals fell all over the place as Dimitri and Megan held hands, standing face to face with each other. The preacher just behind them as he told them to repeat the vows. I stood right beside Megan as her maid of honor and Mom, Jen and Kerry not far behind me. We all stood in bright yellow dresses while Megan was in a gorgeous pure white slim gown that hung gently on her shoulder.

"Dimitri do you take Megan to be your wife?"

"I do." He said it so sweetly and romantic looking Megan dead in the eyes. "Megan, do you take Dimtiri to be your husband?"

Megan grinned, " I do." Then without the priest even telling them, Dimitri put both of his hand on each side of Megan's face and pulled her in fo a sweet ling perfect kiss." Everyone was clapping and cheering when I looked out to the gcrowd and I held back a yealp.

There in the main back near the columns where the moonlight did not hit was Zandra and Boq. Their smiles twisted and evil looking. My eyes widened and I heard in my head just barley above a whisper Zandra said,

"You will join me soon Lin. The darkness will win and your family will pay. But for now watch your back you never know when I'll be around."

Then there was a loud blast and the cake table, everything on it, the glasses the stair everything was breaking. People began to scream and run. Dimitri pulled Megan closer to him protecting her. Elphie got up and grabbed Mom's arm whispereing something in her ear. Mom nodded slowly.

'LIN, Come with me" Mom said grabbing my arist and pulling me along out of the wedding ara and out to the garden. I looked over my shoulder to see all of my family watch me go. They looked like they were not going to see me for a little while.

Be safe Lin. I will see you soon, Love you. Megan messaged me. I didn't ask why all I said was.

I love you too Meg. Mom stopped pulling me and we were in the center of the garden. She turned to face me with a fear tears in her eyes, holding an outfit in her hands. It was a pair of Hollister pink sweat pants, a "Popualr" wicked t-shirt and a black coat with a black bandana.

"Mom, what is this for?' I asked her worried. She sign, "Change into these clothes honey. Please" I did as I was told and changed quickly. She tied the bandana on my head and kissed my forehead.

"Baby, your going into the human world for a month." She said sadly and I felt my heart plummet to my stomach. "W-what Mom we can't!" I said worried and her expression saddened even more.

"Honey, your going alone."

"WHY! No I can't leave you guys. I can't" I said feeling worried tears come to my eyes. She placed her hand on my cheek and smiled with encouragement.

"Baby, we are going in hiding once you leave. Zandra thinks your hurt and we need her to think that way for a while. Of course we will still run Oz and they will think everything's fine but we will be in the underground finding ways to fight against Zandra. We are doing this for your own good darling. I need you to do me a favor. " She said grabbing my hand with her other hand. I gripped it tight and fought tears.

"Whatever you want Mom, I'll do it." I said and my voice cracked badly. She placed the dagger Dad gave me in a belt and clipped it around my waist and pulled me into her arms.

"You can't contact me or anyone here. Zandra is strong she could sense us talking. And I need you to find your cousin. She's in the human world, she does know who she is. She's only been there for a few years. This will help you find her." Mom explained placing a note in my hand and closing it tight. I was shocked at what she told me but I just nodded my head afraid how much time I had left with her was slowing melting away.

"And I fixed something for you, while you slept earlier before the wedding." Mom said waving her hand and something appeared in her hand. She held it up for me to see and I gasped in awe. Mom had taken her necklace she gave me and the charm bracelet Megan had given me and made a gorgeous necklace out of them. The light blue gem that was at the center of Mom's necklace was in the center along with the charms from the bracelet going up in a rows on each side of it.

"Mom, its beautiful." I said in awe as I turned around and lifted my hair so she could put it on my neck. When she did she turned me back around. And kissed my forehead again.

"I love you baby, don't worry. You will find your cousin. Her name is Arya." She pulled me back in her arms and I hugged her tight not wanting to let go. "I love you too Mom."

She signed and opened the portal. "We won't be separated for long darling. Just a month then your back here helping us. Now Go!" Mom said holding back tears. I looked at the portal then to Mom. My hand not holding the note laid against the cool metal of my necklace. I smiled and took a deep breathe stepping into the portal. When I did Zandra's words repeated over in my mind in a burning flame.

This war had just begun.
