Part 8

Glinda froze when she heard foot steps. She closed her eyes and tried to stay calm, but she was not going to let this person take her to where ever she was planning to, because then she was, in non polite terms, she was screwed if this woman was able to take her to their destination. Glinda waited, and when she heard the foot steps stop right in front of her she opened her eyes and stared at the long legs in front of her, and then with agility not suitable for a woman of her age she pushed off the floor and pushed the legs back making the supposed woman come crumbling to the floor, with Glinda on top of her legs.

Elphaba grunted as her back made contact to the forest floor. Her head hit the floor and caused her to stray in dizziness for a while. If Elphaba wasn't in pain from this fall she would be laughing at how agile Glinda still was in her ol...older age.

With the shadow woman down for the count, or so Glinda thought, she pushed herself off of the legs she was laying on and stood up before looking both ways. She grabbed at the sides of her dress pulled it up and then ran off in the direction she believed any sign of life to be in.

"Why you little pink puff ball!" Elphaba cursed as she forced herself to get up. She faltered slightly as her head swooned for a moment. Once her small case of dizziness was over and done with Elphaba was on her feet, and she grabbed her broom before flying off in the direction Glinda had just run off in.

Glinda was running as fast as her high heeled feet would take her. She had tripped too many times, and she was sure her knees would be cut and bleeding. She also knew her dress had been torn. She had heard and felt the material catch onto a sharp tree branch and as she continued to run she heard the material tare and she had felt tears prick at the back of her eyes as the sharp wooden edge cut into her skin. But that didn't stop her from running.

It was dark and she was having a hard time seeing, heir go the tripping. But she was not going to let herself get caught. She just wished she had her wand. In the end Glinda knew that she had no defense against the witch that was chasing after her. Which in the end scared her more then getting lost in this forest did.

Glinda had looked back many times and had not seen anyone following her, but she was not going to stop, because as she looked back right now she saw something flying at top speed toward her. Glinda cursed her shoes. She hopped on one foot and took off both of her heels, it slowed her down and she could hear the air brushing against her kidnappers cape. She made sharp turn after sharp turn around trees and still the witch was right behind her. As Glinda looked back one last time her foot got caught in a root of a tree and she fell to the floor with a loud thud. She was caught and she knew it. She heard feet drop from their broom and land on twigs and dried leaves. Glinda wasn't willing to let this end like this. She started to crawl. Never in her life had Glinda ever imagined doing this, never! She was not one to be on all fours crawling in the mud for her life. Hell who did that? Ever!

Elphaba had circled the area above the tree tops until she saw Glinda, and she swopped down and when she had she watched as Glinda turned, knowing she was there. Elphaba had to smile, Glinda was still very persistent and stubborn and as beautiful as she had been the last time they had seen each other. Elphaba jumped from her broom and started to walk toward Glinda. Then something happened, that made her heart brake. Glinda was crawling, she was desperate to stay away from her. Elphaba looked down and then walked faster over to Glinda. When she kneeled down and tried to turn Glinda around to look at her the blonde still fought her.

"No! Get off me! Get off me!" Glinda screamed as she fought to get the woman's hands off her arms. Glinda had her eyes closed and refused to look at her capture. She also would not let the tears that were threatening to fall be seen by the woman trying to kill her.

"Glin..." Elphaba whispered. "Glinda...shh...please calm down." Elphaba pleaded.

Glinda was panting and was still trying to wiggle her hands out from Elphaba's grasp. Glinda had paid no mind to the woman's words or voice, the only sound she heard was the pounding of her own heart.

"Get off me!" Glinda screamed and pushed her feet against the dirt trying to get a good lift off of them so she could push away from the woman holding her.

Elphaba watched as Glinda kept her eyes closed and her face turned away from her. She knew this wasn't going to be easy, but she had thought that Glinda would have recognized her voice. So maybe it wasn't going to be easy as she had maybe thought it might be after Glinda heard her voice. Maybe it had been too long.

"Glinda...please...look at me." Elphaba tried to coax Glinda into looking into her eyes. Like she had done on the dance floor. Elphaba had been sure that Glinda knew who she was then. Elphaba had thought that their plan had gone down the drain when Glinda looked at her like that on the dance floor. It was as if her mask, her outfit nothing mattered because one look into her eyes and it seemed Glinda knew who she was. When Rose had come in on the broom Glinda had looked at her with a sad look in her eyes, and when she was being pulled away it was if Glinda had thought she would protect her, that she would grab her hands and hold her from being lifted away from her, again. She was going to, she was going to grab Glinda's hands and hold her down and tell Rose to leave, but when her daughter had looked at her like she had she let go of Glidna's hands and let Rose lift her up into the air.

Her eyes that's all Glinda had to do, was look in her eyes and her stupid school girl crush on the blonde was back and bigger then ever. Now Elphaba needed Glinda to look into her eyes again, so that her heart would stop aching. So her heart would stop telling her to let Glinda go, and let her run so that she'd at least not tell her to let her go because that would be the hardest thing Elphaba had to do, it would be the hardest thing she'd have to do again.

"Don't touch me, get off me. Let me go...get off! Let me go!" Glinda kept screaming.

At the first sight of a tear Elphaba let Glinda go. She pulled her hands back and let Glinda push away from her.

"Galinda." Elphaba said her last try before she forced Glinda to look into her eyes. Elphaba knew Glinda had hated it when Doc Dillimond had called her Glinda, and after his death she hated it when anyone called her anything but Glinda.

"Its not Galinda! Its Glinda!" Glinda said forcefully as she turned and for the first time. "If you're going to kidnap somebody at least get their..." Glinda froze. "...Elphie?"
