Chapter 14: Wounded hearts

"Elphaba! Where have you been!" Glinda screamed as Elphaba and Chase walked into Fiyero's private room where Madame Morrible and Glinda were infesting. Glinda's facial expression changed when she saw Chase. "And who is this?"

"Glinda, Madame Morrible. this is Sibero Tiggular aka Chase aka Fiyero's younger brother. Chase this is Galinda Upland aka Glinda and Madame Morrible of Shiz University"

"Charmed I'm sure." Chase said nobly, but still focused his attention on Elphaba.

"Ya…okay. Elphaba we can reverse the spell!" Glinda nearly squealed. Elphaba could see that she could care less about Chase being there.

"You're sure?"

"Positive!"

"How positive?"

"Okay so, Madame Morrible didn't even care that I took the Grimmerie thingy."

"That's great Glinda, now how about telling me about the reversal spell."

"Right, well you're not going to like what you have to do but it is the only way."

"What is it?"

"Madame Morrible, I'll let you tell her." Glinda stepped back and let Morrible speak.

"Darling, do you love Fiyero?"

"I think so." Elphaba said feeling a little awkward, she kept looking at Chase's facial expressions. Having Fiyero's sibling in the same room was weird, considering he didn't even know about Fiyero and her in the first place.

"You have to know, or this wont work!" insisted Morrible.

"Fine, yes I do…always will."

"Lovely, and you know he loves you?"

"Yes."

"Okay, well this is going to sound crazy. Morrible and I found the reversal spell. It said something along these words to reverse the spell of a wounded heart. The one whom is the broken hearted their one true love, must pierce their lovers dead heart with a dagger stained with their own blood or something like that!" SaidGlinda cutting off Morrible.

"What? You want me to stab Fiyero in the heart?"

"Basically."

"No, there has to be some other way. What if that kills him?"

"It won't." Glinda added in. "If you are his true love, and if your blood runs through his veins. Then he will be saved."

"I have to put my blood on the dagger?"

"Yes, dear." Madame Morrible held out a hefty dragger. The blade was adorned with brilliant markingsElphaba hesitantly reached for it, she held it in her hands. Elphaba drew in a deep breath before slicing her palm with the dagger; she winced in pain, then smeared her blood on the blade.

"You can do this Elphie! Trust us." Glinda cheered her on.

Elphaba walked over to Fiyero, tears were flowing down her face. Her throat was throbbing and her head pounding. She raised her trembling arms in the air. She was whispering to herself and for the first time she prayed to the unnamed God.

"Please let him be alright." She cried out, as she drove the bloody dragger straight into Fiyeros lifeless heart.

"Now quickly remove it!" screamed Morrible. Elphaba did as she was told then collapsed on Fiyero's chest and started to wail. Her breathing was shaky through the sobs. Glinda ran to her side and rubbed her back rhythmically.

"Oh no, what have I done!" Elphaba managed to choke out. "He's not…" She stopped and put her head to his heart.

"What is it Elphie?" Glinda said through her own sadness.

"It's beating! His heart! It's beating."
