A/n: I am disappoint in you guys. Four reviews for chapter 3! You better have more reviews for this chapter, that's all I'm saying. Thank you for those who did leave the lovely reviews, they make me want to writer more and faster. I apologize to the grammar errors last chapter, I just saw most of them. I was stressed when I wrote it and made silly mistakes. Also, I was in a bad mood when I decided to kill off Elphaba. So, yeah, sorry about that. I know I broke a lot of hearts about that, and the fact I didn't let them kiss... ((shrugs)). So here is Chapter 4.
PS: Did you know WordPerfect gives the word BUSS as a synonym for kiss? I know! Buss! Can you imagine. ' And the two lovers brought their lips together in a soft buss.' That is just to comical! No wonder no one uses WordPerfect's thesaurus! It sucks!
.:One Month Later:.
Despite the late hour, GlindaUpland was wide awake in her pink suite.Sitting at her maple desk by the balcony doorsshe wearily scanned the trade treaty she was supposed to have signed hours ago. Rubbing her jade eyes, she drew her attention back to the treaty. Pushing forward, Glinda finally reached the last page of the thirty page. Glinda took out her special pink quill and signed her name with a flourish.
Yawning slightly, Glinda's eyes fell upon a picture frame that was on her desk. Studying the picture, Glinda look at herself and the young woman beside her on a bench at Shiz. Both girls were smiling brightly into the camera and they seemed truly happy. The picture was black and white, but Glinda didn't need the color to remind her that the girl beside her in the picture was her dear green friend.
"Elphie," breathed Glinda as she stared at the woman in the frame. Glinda still couldn't believe it had been one months since Elphaba had been murdered. When she had return to the Emerald City Glinda forced the Wizard to leave with that strange Dorothy girl. Smiling slightly, she remembered when she had personally put Madame Morrible into the Emerald City's Prison. The horrid woman had screamed for hours, Glinda had been informed.
"Screaming..." Glinda's grin faded. Her mind went to that mind numbing scream that Elphaba had let out when the Witch Hunters had thrown water one her, melting her completely. Swallowing down the nausea, Glinda neatly folded up the treaty.
"Two in the morning," moaned Glinda as she flashed a look at the clock mounted high above her fireplace, "I guess the Munchkins will have to wait another day for this treaty."
"Miss Glinda...?"
Turning around in her chair Glinda saw the maid was walking towards her with a large package in her arms. Curiously Glinda stood up and met the woman halfway. "Yes, what is it?"
Smiling warmly the maid handed Glinda the package, "That book you requested weeks ago finally came in ma'am. You asked for me to bring it to you the moment it came in so..."
"Yes, thank you." Glinda looked down at the brown paper covered book. The book was huge, over a foot long both ways, and it weighed over ten pounds. Looking at her maid she smiled, "Thank you, but now I wish to be alone. You are dismissed."
As soon as the maid had left the room, Glinda rushed to the door and locked it, not wanting to be interrupted. Like a child opening a birthday gift, Glinda tore away the brown paper that covered the black leather book.
Running a finger over the spine of the book, Glinda whispered the title to herself, "Vita e morte. Life and Death." Glinda dropped onto the ground and opened the huge book before her. Quickly flicking through the pages Glinda reached the page she was searching for easily.
Looking down Glinda read the title to the page; 'The Life Returner.' For the past month Glinda had been searching for this spell. It was said to be the best one in Oz. Feeling excited Glinda started to read the instructions, "First, eliminate all illumination besides the stars and the moon's." Standing up Glinda blew out all the candles in the room. Since it was summer Glinda hadn't had a fire going and she had the doors to her balcony open to catch any breeze there was. However, the open doors to the balcony let the moon's light fall over her room like a blanket.
Returning to the spell book Glinda read the second direction, "Picture deceased in you psyche. Don't let your mind wander from them."
That isn't hard, mused Glinda as she started to picture the woman that still had a grip of her heart, She never leaves my mind.
Looking down Glinda read the final direction, " When you have the deceased's image burned into your mind you must start chanting these words with all the passion you have in you soul: Non siete guasti, Vivete nella mia anima, Ritornato a me. Continue the chanting until there is a flash of light. If the light was blue then they spell has worked and the dead is now alive and waiting where the died. However, if the flash is green then you have done something wrong."
Breathing heavily, Glinda stood up and shut her emerald eyes tightly. Glinda pictured Elphaba. Her Elphaba. She pictured her strong face, her long, lanky limbs. She pictured her breathtaking raven colored hair that spill onto her shoulders. She pictured Elphaba's eyes, those soulful beautiful brown eyes. Taking a deep breath Glinda passionately whispered into the darkness, "Non siete guasti, Vivete nella mia anima, Ritornato a me..."
Fearfully, opening one eye Glinda saw no light. Angrily Glinda started again faster and louder putting all of her long, pain, fear, and love into the chant that was going to bring Elphaba back. "Non siete guasti! Vivete nella mia anima! Ritornato a me!"
Suddenly, a huge light filled the room that glinda had been living in for over three years. The light was so strong it sent Glinda to her knees. Despite the light's ferocity it had a kind of peaceful aura to it. The light pulsed and as sudden as it appeared it disappeared without a trace, leaving Glinda in the darkness once more.
The light had been green.
"NO! Elphaba, please..." Glinda broke down into intense sobs that shook her body as if it was a leaf, "Damn it! I tried everything..." Gasping for breath Glinda picked up the huge book a threw it as hard as she could out onto the balcony. Shaking in rage and in pain Glinda buried her face into her hands.
"OW!"
Snapping her head up Glinda looked towards the balcony. Timidly, she stood a crossed the room to the doors of the balcony. "Hello, is anyone there...?" Glinda asked anxiously called.
Inhaling suddenly, Glinda's eyes fell on a figure dress in all black. They seemed more like a shadow of the night than a person. The shadowy form had their hands pressed to their head, which was cover by a thick black hood. The "Vita e Morte' laid by their feet, which were wearing black combat boots.
Those look just like...
Shaking her head to stop those kinda of thoughts , Glinda stepped towards the figure slowly. "Um, are you alright?"
The figure looked up at Glinda, though their face was still hidden, Glinda could sense the grin as the person answered in alluring voice, "Sweet Oz, Glinda! Did you have to throw that book out here? You hit me right in the head!"
That voice...could it be...
"Do..." Glinda started, a little uncertain, "Do I know you?"
With a laugh, the shadowy figure removed the hood the covered her face. The form was actually a woman. She had a beautiful face, with high cheek and a sharp pointy nose. Her skin was of a light color and seemed very smooth. Her tumbled out of the hood in waves, the hair was so dark it looked navy in the moon's light. However, it was her eyes that caught Glinda's attention. They seemed so familiar. They were a soulful hazel, and they seemed to glitter with an unseen intensity.
Suddenly Glinda found her voice, backing up into her room she gasped, "No, it can't be..."
THE END!
A/n: Just kidding! You guys should have seen the looks on you faces!
"Glinda, its me..." the woman stepped into the room where Glinda was standing gaping at her.
Shaking her head, Glinda yelped, "No, Elphie's dead and she was green! I don't know who you are but..." Glinda's voice cracked with emotion, making it impossible to continue.
The woman walked softly towards the now crying Gilikin. "Glinda, its me. It's Elphaba."
"No..."
Sighing, Elphaba walked closer, " Your favorite color is pink. You call your Father 'Popsicle.' You came with me to the Emerald City, you were with me when I gave Chistery wings..."
Glinda cut the woman off with a sob, "Stop...please..."
"You tried to make me popular in Shiz. Glinda, you came to rescue me from the Witch Hunters," Elphaba pressed forward, talking over Glinda's soft sobs. "You told me you loved me in that closet-"
"STOP!" yelled Glinda as she dropped to her knees. Elphaba followed Glinda down onto the rug.
Kneeling before Glinda, Elphaba grabbed the weeping girls hands. "I know this is different Glin, but it is me. I tricked the Hunters, I used a trap door and hid. I was never allergic to water like everyone said. I'm sorry, so sorry, I didn't come earlier, but I knew I had to lose my green skin before I could come back for you. So I made a potion Glinda. It took three weeks to make, and it was painful as hell to take, but it took my green away," Elphaba stopped to look at Glinda, who had stopped cry. Glinda allowed a smile to overcome her sad face. Smiling back Elphaba continued softly, "Glinda, you have to believe its me. Please..."
Slowly, Glinda raised her creamy hand to brush away some of the hair that had fell into Elphaba's eyes. Glinda looked deeply into her friend's eyes, exploring their depths. They were the eyes of Elphaba, Glinda was sure of it. They had the sparkle, the emotion, and the soul that Elphaba's eyes had always possessed. Smiling brightly, Glinda pulled her now, non-green friend into her arms. "Elphie..."
Pulling away after a moment, Elphaba whispered into Glinda's ear, "I love you."
The warm breath on Glinda's ear sent chills up her spine. Grinning ear to ear, Glinda laid her forehead on Elphaba's, she murmured back, "I love you too."
And their lips met.
The kiss was soft, and gentle. Glinda closed her jade eyes and melted into the kiss. Bringing her hand up, Glinda began to tangle her fingers into Elphaba's tempting black hair. Moaning softly, Glinda felt Elphaba's tongue move easily into her own waiting mouth. Elphaba had buried her hands into Glinda's blonde curls, and was softly twirling them.
Suddenly, still kissing, Glinda and Elphaba stood up. Gently, Glinda moved backwards, leading Elphaba to her bed. They fell on to the bed, without stopping the passionate kiss.
Moaning softly, Elphaba carefully kissed Glinda. "Glin..."
Smiling into Elphaba's kisses Glinda managed to get out, "I love you..."
A/N: Yay! Elphie isn't dead, I let them kiss and everything is wonderful in Oz! Oh yeah, and Elphie isn't Green. Leave some wonderful reviews. There better be more than four this time, though. I think only two more chapters.
PS: I used Italian for the title of the spell book and the chant. The title means 'Life and Death'. And the Chant pretty much is "You are not dead. You live in my soul. Come back to me."
PSS: I will get the Wicked music info. next update. Sorry, I didn't think I would finish this before Monday. Which is by the way, the night of my big "I'm Not that Girl" solo! I am pumped! I can't wait to play it on my Sax in front of all those people. I will make it sound perfect! (I'm not first chair for nothing. Actually most people would think I would be like 4th chair because I am not a stereotypical band member. I am actually popular and a top athlete. So most people assume I suck at Sax, then they hear me play.) Wish me luck , though!
