Ok, chapter six is up. Well, don't hate me for this when you read this. Hehe, it will all come together I promise you. Yes, I am taking a leaf out of Gelphie44's book and I want to credit her for it. What it is you will have to read but it's pretty obvious. All right I will stop talking so you can read on. Again, please don't hate me it will all work out in the next chaptre. Also this chapter might be a trigger for some people and not a good trigger either because of the the thoughts of suicide. If that is a trigger for you then please don't read it. I gave a fair warning...now read on. :)
Fiyero busted into the hospital with Elphaba in his arms while his eyes had this wild look about him Just five minutes before he got here the green woman started to cough up more blood and was slowly beginning to convulse. Fiyero was scared out of his mind because he had no clue what has happened in the past twenty four hours to Elphaba and to Glinda.
"Help! Somebody please help!" He shouted as he spin around the room looking for help. A doctor with a security looked towards him and the doctor gave a sharp inhale at seeing Elphaba again. The doctor rushed over with the guard right behind them. They prayed that nothing else has happened to the green witch during her little escape.
"Oh shit. This is not good." The doctor said once they got a good look at Elphaba. Upon seeing the blood coming out of the parched, green lips they knew that the stitching inside Elphaba has broken and most likely the tear in the major blood vessel has gotten big. Elphaba runs the risk of bleeding to death in a very short period of time. They needed to get her into surgery again to stop this bleeding before the green witch dies and three people are going to be devastated. Fiyero made a small noise when Elphaba was taken out of his arms and the two people in front of him left without saying what was wrong with his friend. He knew it was bad when the doctor swore but he wanted to know what was so bad. The blonde saw a nurse at the reception desk and decided that was the best option so far for him.
As Fiyero made his way to the desk Sam was coming back from the cafeteria with two cups of coffee in his hands. Sarah and he had pulled an all nighter and needed this caffeine despite Glinda trying to get them to rest. They weren't going to rest until Elphaba was safely back in the hospital. Sam halted in his progress towards his daughter's room when his eyes spotted Fiyero walking towards the nurse. He gave 'hmmm' as he started towards Glinda's boyfriend. So that was what Fiyero looked like. He and his wife never met Fiyero personally because it was always Elphaba that Glinda brings home. All they have heard was by what the blonde was telling them. He felt kind of bad because Fiyero had no clue that both Elphaba and Glinda were in love with each other. He paused for a second. What was Fiyero doing here? As far as Sam remembered Fiyero didn't know about what has happened to Glinda and Elphaba was missing and probably couldn't have told him.
"Fiyero." Sam called out as he got closer to the prince. Fiyero stopped walking and paused to hear that voice again. When Sam called out to him again he turned to his right and saw Sam walking towards him. His blonde eyebrows drew together for he didn't recognize this man at all. His eyes moved back and forth as he tried to remember how Glinda described her parents and what their names were. The light bulb went off the second Sam stopped right in front of him.
"Sam." Fiyero greeted and was about to hold out his hand to shake Sam's but stopped when he saw Sam's hands were full at the moment. Sam nodded his head as he set his coffee down to properly greet the prince.
"What are you doing here?" Sam questioned as he picked up the coffee again. Fiyero gave a grimace at remembering how he found Elphaba. He was just so confused at the moment on the situation he knew so little about.
"I brought Elphaba in here because she was bleeding from the mouth and just before I got her here she was starting to shake in my arms. What are you doing here?" Fiyero replied as he explained what has happened to him. Sam nearly dropped his coffee at hearing that Elphaba was back in the hospital and sounded much worse then before. This was the fear everybody was so worried about. Elphaba tearing her bandaged up blood vessel only to make tear it open and making a larger hole. Glinda was not going to like this at all. His daughter has been beating herself up so much before and now Glinda might never forgive herself for this as well.
"What did the doctor say?" Sam whispered as he gripped his coffee tighter and shifted from his bad leg to his good one. His bad leg was getting stiff and he needed to sit down for awhile to get it better. Fiyero's blue eyes started to fill with tears because he didn't know what was going on. The blonde shrugged his shoulders helplessly.
" I don't know the doctor just took her out of my arms and left. Sam, what the hell is going on?" Fiyero questioned in a quite voice. Sam's lips pursed together Fiyero wasn't going to like what he was going to tell him. The attorney shifted his head to tell the blonde to follow him so they would walk and talk at the same time. The prince nodded his head and started to walk side by side with Sam as Sam started to tell him what has happened.

Glinda was resting peacefully on her bed while haveing little snippets of conversation with her mom. Talking with her mom has eased her fears of Elphaba leaving the hospital in her condition. To the blonde it seemed much worse then her one because on little rip in the stitching and it could mean death if Elphaba didn't notice it had happened. Glinda's nose wrinkled again when the air tube was being a bother to her. She had to suppress the urge to take it out because if she did she might lose her other lung as well. This thing stays in until her other lung was healthy enough to have this annoyance out of her nose.
"Glinda, stop that" Sarah said in exasperation as she slapped her daughter's hand away from the nose tube yet again. Glinda was doing it again. She was subconsciously trying to remove the tube because Glinda found it a nuisance. The blonde gave a sheepish smile and put her hand down back onto the bed. Sarah tried to suppress a smile but it wormed up onto her face. She gave a chuckle as she leaned over and kissed Glinda on the forehead. Glinda needed some mother loving just to make her forget about Elphaba at the moment. Glinda sighed softly and closed her eyes. She was glad her mom was here with it. That peace didn't last long when Sam came into the room with Fiyero right behind him.
"Glinda! Oh Sweet Oz." Fiyero exclaimed as he rushed to his girlfriend's side and kissed her lightly on the lips. He couldn't believe what had happen to his girlfriend and his friend. He nearly broke down after hearing what Elphaba did and what her injuries were. Glinda forced herself not to push him away at this touch. She felt now that she was betraying Elphaba for letting Fiyero kiss her on the lips. Sarah looked past this scene to her husband who was just handing her the coffee she wanted. Sam had a grave look on his face and Sarah couldn't get a reading on him because the attorney had locked down his mind.
"Fiyero found Elphaba and brought her back. From what he has told me it doesn't look good for her at all. She had blood coming out of her mouth and was starting to shake in his arms. Her stitching must have broke and now there might be a bigger hole then before. She is in surgery right now. We won't know what the report is until they are done." Sam informed before taking a drink of his coffee. They will have to play the waiting game again. Glinda's eyes were blinking rapidly as her chest began to heave. Elphaba her Elphie was hurting more. It was hard for the blonde to have a normal panic attack with only one lung working properly. It was too much for Glinda's body to handle and within seconds Glinda fainted from overexertion. Everybody called out her name in a panic.
Two hours passed since Elphaba went into surgery and Glinda fainted when the blonde slowly came to. Her eyelids squeezed as a very soft groan escaped her lips. She was about to open her eyes when she heard voice speaking in the room.
"I don't know how long Miss Thropp will be in the coma. There is no medical reason why she should be in one. True she has lost a substantial amount of blood but it shouldn't be the cause of the coma. I may not be a psychologist or what not but to me it seems like Miss Thropp has just given up and is letting this wound win."
Glinda gripped the bed sheets tighter at hearing this. Elphaba never gave up on anything. It was true now she really did break Elphaba's spirit. The blonde was holding onto her tears to fool everybody in the room that she was still sleeping. There were more exchanges from her parents and the doctor before footsteps left the room. There was silence in the room for about thirty seconds until Glinda felt someone run fingers through her hair.
"Glin, I know you are awake. Open your eyes." Sam whispered gently as he continued to run his fingers through his daughter's golden locks. Slowly tear filled crystal blue revealed themselves to her father.
"I want to see her." Glinda whispered as she tried to sit up. She wanted to go to Elphaba and try to make things right again. She didn't want Elphaba to die. Sam knew that but there was nothing he could do. The doctors didn't want Glinda moving that much and Elphaba was in no condition to be moved at all. The blonde turned that sadness and grief into anger when her father shook his head no. Her hands balled up into fists as her body began to shake. She wanted to see Elphaba.
" I want to see her." Glinda demanded as she tried to get up and do it herself if no one was going to help her out. Sam was quick to react. He was going to do something he rarely uses but it was for Glinda's own good. The attorney put his hand to the blonde's forehead and muttered something underneath his breath. Glinda's eyelids dropped in an instant as her body hit the bed. Sam sighed deeply as he sat down into a chair. That should hold his daughter until morning. Sam never liked using magic to force Glinda to sleep but times are hard and Glinda just couldn't afford it either. The attorney thoughts then drifted off to Elphaba. He prayed that Elphaba will pull through so Glinda won't have to grieve for her the rest of her life.

Elphaba shivered violently when a big rush of very cold air hit her body. The green witch wrapped her arms around her body as she tried to warm herself up again but she had little success when another gust of the same cold air hit her. The green witch took in her surroundings as she started to walk forward to warm herself up. It would be better then standing still and freezing to death. From what Elphaba has seen the place was barren except for the sparse grass that has managed to poke through the hard ground and the huge boulders that littered the ground.
When Elphaba looked above her to see if the stars were out but was shocked to find blackness above her. The raven haired beauty was confused as to how the sky was so black and where the hell she was. While Elphaba was preoccupied with that she didn't know that there was a sharp cliff just about ten fee from her and there was nothing but an abyss that had no ending. Elphaba got closer and closer to the end while still not paying attention to what could be the end to her.
"Ah!" Elphaba shouted in surprise when her left foot stepped on nothing and her body started to pitch forward. The green witch flailed her arms to try and find her balance so she wouldn't go over. A few tense seconds past and Elphaba's bottom hit the hard ground. The green witch put a hand to her heaving chest as she tried to register her near death experience.
"Too close." Elphaba whispered as she got to her hands and knees and crawled to the edge. She gulped hard at seeing nothing but darkness below her. That seems like it had no end. Elphaba looked to her right and grabbed a rock. She wanted to see how long the drop was. Elphaba dropped the rock into the darkness and waited for it to hit the ground. The green witch started to tremble when nothing reached her at all. It really did have no end. Elphaba gave a nervous bout of laughter as she backed away from the edge. She was thankful she didn't fall in.
"Oh Elphaba, that black pit will help you with your problems."
A voice echoed around Elphaba. The green witch leapt to her feet as her eyes looked around for the person who's voice that belongs to them. Her heart beat went faster when she saw no one was with her. This was getting creepy. A cold laughter echoed next that sent shivers up Elphaba's spine. She didn't like where this was going.
"What problems are you talking about?" Elphaba questioned as she twisted around to try and see this person. They had to be here. It wasn't logical to not have a person here as well.
" The problems with Glinda and your injury. All you need to do is this." The voice replied as Elphaba felt like someone grabbed her by the shoulders and turned her around to make her look at the darkness that was just a few feet from her. Dark eyebrows drew together this thing wanted her to jump something that she wasn't going to do. She wasn't suicidal at all.
"That shows how much you know about yourself. Glinda doesn't want you anymore and never will. It's all right if you jump they will think you died in your sleep. Jump…Jump."
Elphaba's eyes suddenly went blank as the voice kept on repeating the word 'Jump'. Her feet slowly began to move forward to where her life could end for real.
It is not turning out good for Elphaba at the moment. Before you start grabbing the pitchforks and torches I promis you everything will work out. Just give me the next chapter before you starting lighting up the torches...please. I promise you. Until then.
