Again I am very sorry.
Here we go
Elphaba's Pov
Truth be told, from the moment we stood face to face, I had one of most poweful feelings in my stomach. It was on a odd sensation, as if I had known the girl, through more than just my daughter's letters. It was a feeling of understanding, confusion, familiarity, and of guilt.
And though I still hold no claim to having a soul, I had begun to at least pretend to have a spirit. My spirit fought constantly in the days since Remmy arrived. As I watched intently as the four young people interact, they began to take on roles of those of my own younger days.
Avaya, now comfortable in her natural enviroment, became Glinda, confident and bubbling with pride. Concerned over the welfare of the others, but just as willing to put herself at the forefront. Safely harboring a crush, which I was aware of, but knew nothing of details.
Thaimis, had taken the role of a much more confident Boq. Stumbling and only slightly sure of himself standing in the background of everyone elses glory. He talked more comfortably with Rehmehya, which was understandable to their verdigris.
Nashua, stood proudly in the group, and as cocky and confident as ever took Fiyero's place among the group. And among the many parrallels that exist, he seemed to be taken with a green girl, and it was blarantly apparent no matter, how he might deny it.
Which leaves Rehmehya, and though is was somewhat expected, I was still surprised to notice how well she repeated my own exsistence by making it her own.
But I come back to reality, and the weird felling kept getting odder and odder... and now I've been retaught that even life it self comes with notions of foreshadowing.
I don't know what drew me to it. Maybe it was the maternal instinct that occasionaly take ahold of me, but by the time I got to where they were at Rehmehya was the only one to be seen. I turned to go back the way I can when I was stopped by the song she sang quietly to the night.
How in Oz, could she have known in the song?
"Maybe more people know it than you thought?" she suggests.
"more People shouldn't know it...I made it up off the top of my head...years ago."
She gave me a curious look, but what she said hit me like an arrow,
"My father used to sing it to me all the time..."
It couldn't be?
There's no possiblity.
We went back and looked and he wasn't there.
He wasn't clever enough to make it on his own.
Or did I never give him enough credit?
"What's your father's name?"
"Liir, he is an advisor to Glinda the Good and has been since I was little."
"What do you know of him before that?" I ask.
My head is spinning...why does life so love to play cruel tricks on me? Have I not been abused by it enough?
Rehmehya POV
Why does she care about my father's past?
"He's never told me...he likes to keep it to himself."
It never bothered me before until this woman finished the song. Why has he never told me before? I feel so much the idiot for not caring about where I come from.
"Did you know him, my father?" I ask- it's the only logical conclusion.
"You could say that, but I did not know him like I should have and I blame my self for that...yet another point in my life that went wrong."
"What do you mean?"
"Maybe this isn't the time or the place...I don't think I should be the one..." She heads back inside the stone structure. I quickly follow.
"What is it?"
"I shouldn't."
"What do you mean? You just can't build something up and then just drop it."
She looks somewhat defeated she faces me and I am reminded of our first meeting.
"I have three children."
Right then I knew, but I couldn't bring myself to stop her.
"Years before Thaimis was born, I had another son...Liir."
"That would make me your..."
"My granddaughter."
Silence. Silence often seems to be a welcome friend to a usual day, but not now. It was an unwanted enemy, the nuisance, who seemed to streched the tension further and furhter.
I sat staring at the woman I had know for only a matter of days, and I saw an entirely new person, my own reflection. One of fighting confusion, of weary desperation.
The impact of this new discovery hit me hard and merclesly until I could bear it no longer and rushed to the room that was sanctioned to be mine.
I don't know how long I stayed in their, but it was light when I heard the tapping on the door.
"Come in"
In walked Avaya's Father, Fiyero. I could tell he knew.
"I just wanted to see how you were doing."
I nodded.
"But then again I guess I should be honest...I came to see if I missed there was some obvious sign, that we didn't see...something that should have told me immediately..."
I smiled at his rambling, "What did you find?" I played along a little half heartedly.
"We were really empty head, there might as well have been a sign in light that said you were one of us..."
You had to give him credit for trying...although I don't know what he was trying at...relieve the tension> I stood and granted him a small hug, which he returned, before giving another jab
"The first clue should have been the green, right?"
"We could all pretend we're color blind."
"If only the world was." I said softly, before making my way out to greet the rest of the day...somehow feeling better in the bottom of my heart. Maybe that what knowing your with family does to you when you're not expecting them.
Family, can't live with them...can't live without them. but they are all the more meaningful when you've just found them.
Is that Better?
Does it make more sense now?
Let me know.
