Chapter 1: Infiltration

As Elphaba touched the ground which had a dull green tint to it and she took her hood and put it over her head to hide her hair then put her dark veil over her face so no could know it was her. Than walked out from behind the rumbled statue of the former ruler of Oz, her father, the one she hated so much, the wizard. What she saw than seemed like a nightmare, it looked like a bomb had ripped up part of the city she was in. Ozians huddled together over a small fire, people forging through the garbage buildings with no windows, doors, or even walls. As she walked up the road to the center of the city, what seemed and smelled to be a very drunken bum came up and walked alongside her. "Great d-day for a celamabration, huh?" slurred the drunk. Elphaba just pushed forward, then she felt a hand grip her upper arm very tightly. "Don't you walk away from me you little witch!". This comment enraged her as she muttered "Ah ham Ta Han a Gora mam!" the man was thrown across the road and made the last of a deserted house crumble on top of him. Elphaba speeded up her pace because she feared that someone might have seen her preform the spell. As she moved past a guard post it seemed she was in a different place. The buildings seemed to shine with grace, the roads were sparkling with bits of emeralds in it, the people wore classy, expensive looking apparel. She stood starring at a huge emerald statue of what seemed to be Glinda standing on a witches hat! Then she heard "out of the way!" elphaba looked and quickly jumped out of the road just missing a horse speeding toward her. She saw in the distance the palace she had defied all odds, the place where she first defied gravity. That day still played in her head like it was yesterday. When she first met the wizard, than after they tricked her to preform the spell then when she took the book and ran away, when she saved Glinda from the guards and when she looked down and saw the angry faces yelling "look at her she's wicked!" and "we've got to bring her down!" it was the beginning of the immense hatred that would grow with her. She knew it was very late and she had to hurry because people would start to wake up in the palace. As she ran under the shadows to the wall that surround the beautiful palace she knew there was no was way she could scale it and the city was too busy to fly over, someone would she her. She needed to get in some how and the sun was already starting to rise. Then her savior rode by, a wagon transporting food into the palace. Elphaba, thinking quickly, ran and jumped into the back of the truck and hid herself under a blanket that had a very unpleasant smell of raw fish. After the wagon passed through the gates and rode toward the back of the palace elphaba quickly jumped out. Now she had to get to hiding quickly. She knew one place she knew no one went, the attic. She looked around to make sure no one was there then mounted the broom and flew to the top of the palace as fast as the broom could take her. Then she hopped off and landed in the attic through the hole that she had made a long time ago. She barricaded the door with the broom like that day that changed her life. Than found a old blanket and laid down and tried to sleep knowing that she would not be able to, since she was so close to what she came for. But she knew that the first part of her mission was done.
