Part 12

They had been flying for the last two hours and Elsie was starting to really freak out. She was literally squeezing the air right out of Rose every time they moved just a little from the wind pushing against them.

"I want to get down!" Elsie screamed into Rose's ear.

"Oww...lower your voice would ya? I can hear you just fine when your mouth is only centimeters away from my ear." Rose said as she looked ahead. "And we can't stop, not for another hour." Rose answered and made it final by continuing to fly at the height and speed they had been going.

"I want to get down right now!" Elsie commanded and hit Rose's back only to shriek and wrap her arms around Rose's waist, shove her face into Rose's shoulder and tightly hold her eye lids closed.

Rose groaned. "Would you stop hitting me! I'm not stopping until we at least make it to the forest, for cover!" Rose stated as she turned her head to look at Elise and then quickly turned back to see where they were going. "You think its easy flying a broom?"

"Yes I think it is very simple. All you have to do is point the tip of the broom and off you go!" Elsie said in her defense.

"Well its not! Just try holding your own weight up in the air while fighting the air currencies blowing against you and gravity trying to push you back down to the ground! And on top of all of that, imagine trying to fly one with YOU complaining every five seconds!" Rose screamed and started to breathe heavily before calming down.

Elsie groaned and looked down only to close her eyes and move her head back to the back of Rose's shoulder.

"I'm sorry!" Elsie stated softly as she held on to Rose again this time not screaming when they moved back and forth in the wind. "I just don't like heights."

"Oh...really? I never would have guessed." Rose said sarcastically as she rolled her eyes and moved them to turn to the right, they were just about to reach Oakhair Forest.

Elsie had let that one go, she knew she deserved that one. Hell she knew she was being a pain but that was because her heart was pounding and it was actually starting to hurt her. She was terrified and she had told Rose that but the raven haired young woman had only laughed at her. Like it was uncommon to be afraid of heights? Ok...maybe it was but that was only true because the only ones that could fly in Oz were the birds, the flying monkeys, Glinda in her bubble, and now these two women. So it was uncommon to be afraid of heights but Elsie had never been in her mother's bubble for the same reason she was so eager to get off this broom. She was one of those few that WERE afraid of heights.

"Please...I think I'm going to be sick." Elsie said and with that lurker a little making Rose's eyes widen and for her to tilt the broom down toward the ground making them fly extremely fast back down to the ground.

Before she even made it to the ground Elise tilted to the side and with the balance thrown off the blonde fell from the broom. Rose, after getting control of the broom once again spiraled down chasing after the scream, terrified as she continued to fall through thin air down back to the ground floor. Rose saw Elsie about to hit the ground and she closed her eyes and when she opened them again she was behind Elsie and easily scooped her up and brought her to sit in front of her on the broom. Elsie had just seen her life flash in front of her eyes and she realized she really needed to work on making a better life for herself.

Rose pulled Elsie up against her and wrapped her left arm around the blonde's stomach tightly. Elsie rested her head on Rose's shoulder and just panted. The blonde was shaking and when Rose felt this she tried to pull the blonde into her arms at least trying to show the blonde she was safe now, but the tremors only became worse.

Rose slowly lowered them to the ground and once there Elsie just tried to fall off of the broom. But with Rose's arm around her she pulled both Rose and herself down to the ground, only Rose was on the bottom and she fell on top of her, her back to Rose's front. Rose held on to the blonde till she stopped shaking.
