(NOTE): Hey! This chapter has some pretty long descriptions (sometimes I'm a little too descriptive) and gives you some back story.
Disclaimer: Everything you recognize from the book or play does not belong to me.
A month later, far off in the Vinkus, Elphaba woke to the sound of rumbling thunder. She carefully got out of bed, trying not to wake her husband, and walked over to the window, her arms crossed. She gazed curiously at the pouring rain. It had been raining for a week straight, but the Wet Season had already passed two months ago, afterwards it usually only rained for a day if it rained at all. She was beginning to feel that something wasn't right.
Her thoughts were interrupted by a soft groan. She turned to see her husband, Fiyero, just starting to wake up. Elphaba smiled. They had been married for almost a year, their anniversary only two days away. She excitedly brought a green hand down to her lower abdomen, knowing that she had the perfect suprise for him. She couldn't wait to tell himon their special day.
She walked over to the bed and sat down on the edge. Slowly, Fiyero opened his eyes and smiled as he saw his wife sitting over him.
"Morning, Fae," he sat up and kissed her.
"Hungry,"
"Starving.,"
After breakfast, Fiyero went out hunting, unhappily groaning since he had to hunt in the rain. While he was gone, Elphaba sat in a chair by the fire she had made. She was reading a book that she had found in Kiamo Ko. She fondly looked around the small, comfortable house as her thoughts trailed to when they had been found in Kiamo Ko by Fiyero's younger brother, Kaphion (KAY-fee-on).
They had been living in Kiamo Ko for only two weeks when he hadfound them. He had become the new prince and had inherited the large castle after Fiyero had been presumed dead. Elphaba chuckled as she remembered his shocked expression when he found out that not only was the Scarecrow with the Wicked Witch of the West, but that he was also his thought-to-be-dead brother. However, instead of turning them in, he decided to secretly help them. And helped them he has. He was the one who gave Elphaba the solution on how to make Fiyero human again. When they had told him the story on how Fiyero became a Scarecrow and had explained that once a spell has been cast it can't be taken off, he had said "Well...why don't you just cast another spell to make him human to cover the first one," That had encouraged Elphaba to use every part of her brain in trying to remeber a spell from the Grimmerie that she could use. The best she could come up with, though, was a curse that would change someone into a different creature. Probably a curse used to change princes into frogs or something like that she thought. She recited it the best she could, trying many times before Fiyero finally became human.
Kaphion had also even found an old, blind priest to marry them. He had offered to leave Kiamo Ko and let them have it, but they knew that that would arouse too much suspicion. So with grateful good-byes, they flew to almost the edge of the Outer Vinkus where they had found the small, abandoned house left with a few pieces of furniture. At first they had thought it a little unusual that a house was in a forest in the middle of nowhere, with the furniture still there no less, but it really didn't matter as long as they had a place to stay. There were two rooms: an upstairs and a downstairs. Downstairs, there was a stove and pantry on one end and a fireplace, a couch, and chairs and a table on the other with the staircase near the back wall. Upstairs, there was a two-person bed, a wardrobe, and a mirror. At first it had been filthy and covered with dust, but after a little cleaning up it was very cozy.
Elphaba felt like she should be extremely happy. She had a home, a husband, and now even a little "suprise"on the way. But as she listened to the loud thunder outside, she couldn't help but feel something was wrong.
I know it's still pretty short and its just backstory, but the REAL story will begin when I know if people want me to continue!Please, tell me what you think!
