Chapter 37
Glinda's POV
My eyes burnt with sadness as I took in Lin's scent from the hoodie. Oh why did this have
to happen? Then I was brought out of my thoughts when I heard Boq chuckle easily,
"You think this is FUNNY?' Meg asked as she began to head towards Bow but Nessa had
a knife to her neck before she could go any further. The wand still in the box was being
held by her other hand that wasn't holding the knife. "Nessa, no don't hurt her." Elphie
begged her sister. Nessa looked to face us and her expression changed from heartless and
cruel, to a heart that was filled with hope and longing. She mouthed, "I won't." My heart
rose for a moment. What was Nessa hinting at? Was she actually on our side, feeling guilty
of what had happened to Lin? Oh Lin, tears refilled my eyes thinking of her. "No, I don't
think it is funny Miss Megan at all. If the brat was still alive I could have gotten a chance
to be human again." Boq said growing more angry. His face grew darker and then did I
really see the pain I had caused him. If I hadn't been so stuck up and selfish maybe Boq
wouldn't be this way and everything would be better right now. I put my sadness aside
and looked to Boq. "Boq," He looked to me with astonishment. Realizing I had
remembered his name. "I'm sorry. Truly sorry for pushing you to Nessa. It was wrong and
selfish. And if it wasn't for me then maybe you wouldn't be the way you are. Please let the
bitterness go and the anger, Just let us all forgive each other." I begged one hand gripping
Nor's arm, the other gripping the hoodie. Bow signed heavily and chuckled even loader.
"So you think after all you have caused me that I will just up and forgive you? Sorry,
Glinda but that little pity party you are throwing isn't going to work." I dropped my head
all hope left me. Boq now grabbed the box from Nessa who still had the knife to Megan's
throat, and carried it over it Morrible. "No, Morrible you can't control the power. Elphie
couldn't even do it." I said quickly trying to stop what was happening. Morrible smirked.
"Oh Miss Glinda, even though you are a witch from the prophecy doesn't mean you can
tell me that I can't control anything. Soon all of Oz will be bowing to me." she said
joyfully opening the box and pulling the wand out into view. It looked mystical and
beautiful just like the day I found it at my door. But it seemed not as ancient looking as I
remembered it. "Fae, I love you." I heard Fiyero murmur to Elphie who was still in his
arms. I think we all were getting the idea that this was the end. Lin was gone and now we
would soon be too. My heart began to ache for my daughter. She had died to save Megan.
To safe us, and for what? I abandoned her and yet she still loved Norbert and me. She still
loved Megan, Elphie, Fiyero, and Jen for hiding the secret. She was willing to die for us. If
only I could have had the strength to do what Lin had done. If only I could have one last
time to say I loved her. I only wish. "Now, once and for all goodbye, Miss Glinda, and
Miss Elphaba." Morrible said as the wand began to light up gaining power. She pointed
the wand at me first but then something happened. Nothing, nothing happened. The light
from the wand stopped and Morrible was now hitting hit trying to get it to work. "What is
wrong with this thing?" Morrible grunted. The out of nowhere Nessa began to laugh hard.
Lifting the knife from Megan's neck and Megan joined her in laughing. "What is so
funny?" Boq asked aggravated. "Nessa hold her still." he ordered. Nessa smiled and for
the first time I saw sparkles in her eyes. My heart lifted and my mind was spinning like
crazy. "You know what's bad Boq. Here you and Morrible think you can lie to me and promise me these wonderful things. When I already have them. And that you wouldn't
suspect me betraying you." Nessa's smiled brighten as she yelled, "NOW!". Eveyone
looked up to the pillars where Nessa was looking. My heart jumped and my happiness
rose. For I saw My Linda standing on a pillar. Elphie's cape still around her neck and the
sparkles form her dress shines like the sun. The real wand was in her hand standing up
right shining brightly as well. I wasn't afraid to admit it but she looked just like me besides
the cape. "What, How?." Morrible said astonished. "You forgot two very important things
Morrible. One never underestimate a girl with magic powers and know wicked like the
back of her hand." Lin explained with a giggle. Morrible looked down to the wand she
was holding and as Lin had said the wand was a prop from wicked. The studs form the
wand popped off. Morrible grunted in frustration looking back up to Lin. "And two, never
mess with her family." "Oh LIN YOUR ALIVE!" I yelled joyfully as Nor threw the old
hoodie to the floor. She looked to me. Her hair was still in it's beautiful curls, her eyes
sparkled and her smile brighten.
Lin's POV
Seeing mom wrapped in Dad's arms made me feel that she was safe, Jen was standing
now next to Megan with a smirk of pride on her face, while Elphie was standing with
fiyero's protective arm around her waist they both were smiling at me as though I had just
pulled a stunt of theirs. Which I did. "Oh wonderful, simply wonderful." Boq clapped his
tin hands as he came towards the pillar I was standing on. My heart retched in hatred
towards him. Nessa seemed to come more on edge as she saw Boq seemed not to bother
for the fact I had just tricked them. "The Great Daughter of Glinda the Good still lives.
This makes everything better now doesn't it." He said evilly. I just stood there unable to
bark back to him. My mind was too busy thinking what he was up to, to notice him walk
back towards mom and punch Dad right in the face pushing him away from Mom as he
latched his tin arm around Mom's neck and pull her to her feet. "LIN," Mom manged to
say as Boq tighten his grip, putting his hand firmly on Mom's neck beginning to chock
her. I aimed the wand at him quickly as anger filled my heart, "You hurt her, You will die
at my hand Boq. Let my Mother go." I said fiercely. He tisked me. "Now, Linda your
Mother is loosing air. I don't think it is the best time to make threats" He warned
tightening his grip and causing Mom to gasp for breathe. My expression softened and my
heart ached. I pulled the wand back. Knowing it would do no good. "Now, come down
like a good girl and give us the grimmerie and the wand and nothing will come to your
family." Morrible ordered. My heart stopped to hear Fiyero yell in anger, 'Boq, you
bastard, let Glinda go now. Or Morrible dies." Fiyero surprised us all by pulling a small
pistol out of his pocket and pointing it right at Morrible. I heard Mom gasp again for air
but she managed to say, "Don't l-isten to -him. L-in." I looked down to the scene before
me and let a bubble form around me letting it glide me down to the ground. The cape
draped over the small pouch with the grimmerie and part of the wand. I held them close as
I approach Boq. "Fiyero don't do it. He will hurt Mom even more. I can't let that
happen." I said sadly. All of them looked to me in worry. Boq and Morrible smirked as
Fiyero let the pistol fall to his side. "Good soldier, now Linda please open the grimmerie
and read the spell that will make me human again." Boq ordered evilly. I looked to Mom,
her face was beginning to turn red. Boq tightened again she groaned in pain coughing, and
gasping. "Stop, I'll do it." I pleaded bending down to the floor keeping the wand tucked in
my cape, while pulling the grimmerie out. Letting the old pages glow into my eyes. I
placed my free hand on the page and let it lead me to two really odd pages. One page was
a spell to turn someone human and the other well, the only words I could make out of it
was that it said spirit, body, and overshadowing. Which didn't make any sense to me. I
gripped the wand tightly with my sweaty hands standing to my feet getting ready to recite
the spell. "Come one your Mother doesn't have all day." He warned. I glared at him then
I looked to my family. I thought just a few days ago I only had Elphie and Jen but I now
have a Mother, Father, guardians, a powerful green witch with a kind heart, and a vinkus
prince that loved me with their whole hearts and would do anything for me. As I would do
for them. I signed but before I could chant I heard a gasp and this time it wasn't mom. My
heart jumped and my nerves tightened as I looked up to see Morrible her face in shock,
pale as a ghost and her lips loosing color fast. Their in her chest was a point of a knife.
Nessa stood behind her, her eyes filled with anger and revenge. "That was for my sister."
she hissed yanking the knife out of Morrible and letting her cold body fall to the floor. The
knife was now covered in a dark scarlet. Boq then panicked. "No, That is it." He pulled
tighter on Mom's neck and she gasped harder, her face turning blue. "NO!," I yelled as I
pointed the wand towards Boq, all my emotions focusing on him. My anger, frustration,
and pain. All of this shot of out the wand in pure white light hitting him in the chest. He let
go of Mom at the right time. He fell to the floor in pain. "GLINDA," everyone shouted as
Fiyero used his pistol to shoot the chains that held Jen, and Elphie causing them to break.
Everyone was over her. Dad and I were the closest. I touch her cheek and felt a sense of
warmth still in them. Her eyes were closed but opened when I touched her. "Mom?" I said
nervously. Her hand wrapped around mine. "My baby girl." she whispered with a smile.
Dad took her in his arms pulling her up to her feet. "No, I will not loose." Boq said
weakly. He was now slumping over the grimmerie.I had foolishly left on the floor. He
grabbed one of the pages and ripped it out. Then he made a break for it. He creaked as he
ran through the giant door. My heart stopped as some guards ran after him. "Don't worry
he is a coward, with Morrible dead he is nothing." Nessa said sounding confident. Elphie
had gotten up and was now facing Nessa. Elphie let out a breathe, "All this time. You
were trying to help us?" Nessa nodded. "Yes Elphaba, I just want you to forgive me for
what I had done. I just want you to love me as your sister again." But not a moment later
was Nessa in Elphie's arms. "Of course I forgive you Nessa. What you just did proved
that you were truly sorry." The two sisters hugged happily and so everyone began to
follow. Megan and Jen were hugging each other I think those two were sisters. Fiyero and
Dad were giving each other high fives while Mom and I stood just inches apart. Each of us
looking into each others eyes. Trying to read each other's thoughts. A game Elphie and I
did on a regular bases. But I didn't wait I ran into Mom's arms. We both began to cry. "I
knew you could do it Lin. I just knew you could." Mom said happily while she kissed the
top of my hair. "I love you Mom." was all I could say then. "Lin the wand.' Megan said
baffled ruining the moment. Mom and I bothed looked to see the wand shining brightly in
a pink and light blue color. Then the prophecy came back to me. "Elphie come here." I
ordered and she obeyed. "Both of you grab the wand." I said my voice sounding very
steady. They did and a bright light filled the room. Making a whoosh sound the light
moved all through the room and out the door. It was actually repairing everything. The
room lost the dark errie tint, The holes in the roof were now gone, Morrible's body
vanished in front of us turning to dust. Everything shown brightly and beautifully all
around us. We all laughed cheerfully. Mom and Elphie pulled me into their free arms. I
had done it. No, we had done it. Morrible was dead and Boq was gone. Mom looked to
me with a smile. 'Come one we have a special celebration to plan."
Sadly, only two more chapters remain. Please review.
