Idk if Oz believes in Angles. In this story they do.

Chapter 3

"… I have some very bad news," The Doctor had told him.

"How bad? Is she ok? When can I see her?" Fiyero asked just above a whisper. Normally, his voice was strong and full of confidence, but now it was weak and unsure.

The Doctor took a deep breath. "I'm so sorry. She lost a lot of blood, and we did all we could, but I'm afraid –"

Fiyero cut the Doctor off, "No! No! No! Where is she? I want to see her!"

Doctor shook his head sadly. "I'm so sorry, but there was nothing we could do."

"No! I want to see her now!" Fiyero screamed with tears running down his face, "I don't believe you. Elphaba is strong! She won't… she can't…" Fiyero trailed off; unable to continue.

"I'm sorry for your lost. If you would like to see her, you can," The Doctor told him.

Fiyero closed his eyes and took a deep breath. "Yes. Please… I want to see her."

Fiyero quickly followed the Doctor into the room, and winced when he saw her.

"I'll give you sometime alone," The Doctor said softly, and quickly left.

Fiyero put his hands up to his face, and cried loudly into them. "Oh Oz!" seeing his friend broken was too much for him to bear. Bruises, cuts, and blood covered her beautiful face and body. The only thing that wasn't bloody was the white sheet that covered her motionless body. Her hair was messy and her eyes were shut, so he couldn't see how lovely they were. He silently walked up to her and gently squeezed her hand with his.

"Damn it Fae…" his voice cracking, "You can't leave me. You hear? You have to… have to… stay. With me." He took a deep breath before he continued, "I'm so sorry. This is my fault… if I would have just let you stay at the library… you wouldn't have…"

No words could describe how Fiyero felt. It was as if his world had suddenly caved in around him, and he couldn't breathe. She was always there and always had something to say, but not now. Why couldn't I have been there? Why couldn't it have been me?

"Elphaba… Fae," he cried, "You can't leave me. I… Love you," there he admitted it, but it was too late. "Do you hear me?" he cried, "I love you"

Fiyero quickly got up and pressed his lips against hers. Crying loudly when she didn't wake up. He was hoping for a miracle like in those fairytales. A handsome prince kisses his true love, and the beautiful princess wakes up. However, this was not a book and Elphaba did not wake up, so he cried for her. His moment was soon interrupted by the Doctor.

"I'm sorry, sir, but you have to leave now."

Fiyero nodded his head and took one last look at her, "Goodbye Elphaba." He kissed her hand and quickly left the room.

Fiyero, couldn't think or breathe… it was like he was dead. He ignored the sympathetic stares coming from the doctor's and nurses. Fiyero stepped out of the hospital and into the cold night air. He didn't know where he was going he just needed to get away. He refused to go back to his dorm, so he just walked. He didn't care where he would end up. Anywhere but here. Maybe he was hoping he would freeze to death, so he wouldn't have to feel this misery and pain. Someone had told him that a person could will themselves to die. He never understood that, until now.

After what seemed like an eternity, Fiyero stumbled upon an old building that he had never seen before. He couldn't feel any part of his body, his tears had frozen to his face, and he felt like shit. He considered his options. He could 1. Go inside the warm building or 2. Stay outside and freeze to death. He chose the second option. He plopped down into the cold snow and sighed. There were no tears left for him to shed, but even if he could cry the tears would freeze.

"Why?!" Fiyero suddenly shouted at the sky, "Why did you have to take her?! It should have been me! It should have been me…" Fiyero cried.

"Excuse me sir." Fiyero jumped at the stranger's voice. "But if you stay out here you'll freeze to death."

Fiyero speciously eyed the man that stood in front of him. He was wearing black dress pants and a white sweater. His hair was bleach blonde and he had snow white skin. In the dark of the night it was as if he were actually glowing. Where had he come from? "That's my plan," Fiyero told the stranger.

"Let's go inside," the stranger told him, but Fiyero didn't move. "My name is Lionel, and I work here. Come on." Fiyero smirked. What kind of name is Lionel? Must be foreign. When Fiyero didn't move Lionel added, "I'm sure your friend wouldn't have wanted you to cry over her."

Fiyero stared wide eye up at Lionel, and shouted at him, "Hey! How did you know about that?" But Lionel wasn't listening; instead he was already walking into the building, so Fiyero followed. The building was small, but it made Fiyero feel safe… and warm. He spotted Lionel standing behind the counter and polishing a key. Fiyero quickly walked up to him and shouted, "How did you know about my friend? Did you do that to her?!"

Lionel just shrugged, "I know a lot of things."

"Answer me damn it! Did you have anything to do with her attack?" Fiyero was in no mood to play games. If this 'Lionel' had something to do with Elphaba's death, he would kill him. "Who the hell are you?" Fiyero questioned.

"I'm an Angel," Lionel told him simply.

Fiyero just laughed, "An Angel?" Lionel nodded and Fiyero said sarcastically, "If you're an Angle then I must be an elf."

"Don't be silly," Lionel eyed Fiyero up and down. "Elves are much smaller."

Fiyero just stared at him. He can't be serious. "Ok well it has been nice talking to you Lionel, but I have other things to deal with." Fiyero turned to leave.

"Tell me Fiyero. Why do you call her Fae?" Lionel asked and Fiyero stopped dead in his tracks.

"Look! I don't know who the hell you are, but you don't know anything about Elphaba," Fiyero shouted with tears threatening to fall.

"It's ok to be sad," Lionel told him, "But you should know it wasn't your fault that she died."

Fiyero clenched his fist in anger. He was two seconds away from punching the living day lights out of this guy. Fiyero eyed the man up and down. He highly doubted that Lionel had anything to do with Elphaba's attack, but nevertheless he was still mad. "Who the hell are you? I swear if you attacked her or ever touched her I'll –"

"Fiyero calm down. I told you! I'm an Angel."

Fiyero stared at him for a long moment before sitting down. "I must be dreaming. I'm dreaming. I'm just going to go back to my dorm, and when I wake up tomorrow none of this will ever have happened," Fiyero convinced himself.

Lionel laughed, but in a serious voice he asked, "What if that could be true?" Fiyero just stared, so Lionel continued, "What if you could relive the last three days with Elphaba?"

Fiyero decided to just go along with this 'dream' of his, "I would like that, but it's not possible."

"I'll make a deal with you. I'll let you relive the last three days with Elphaba so you can prove your love to her. You will be the only one who will have memory of her accident. Unfortunately, on Lurlinemas Eve she will meet her fate."

"That's not fair!" Fiyero cried.

"It's better than not letting her know how you truly feel," Lionel told him, "Here take this key. It's a key to your dorm." Lionel handed the key to Fiyero.

Fiyero ran his figures over the strange looking key. It was gold and shaped like a cross. At the bottom was the strange outline of key. "What if I prove my love to her? Will she live?" Fiyero looked up and found that Lionel was nowhere to be seen.

------------------

It took a little longer to get back to his dorm, but once he found out where he was he made it home in record time. Fiyero stood in front of his door and held the strange looking key in his hands. Lionel had told him it would open his door. After a couple of moments he tried the key, and he heard the locks turn. He pushed open the door and let himself in. He was so exhausted, sad, and broken. Fiyero sighed and made his way into the room. He quickly put the key on the table, before climbing into his warm bed. Fiyero thought it would have been easy falling asleep because he was so exhausted, but he was wrong. He kept thinking of Elphaba, so eventually he cried himself to sleep.

------------------

Fiyero awoke to the annoying sound of someone banging on his door. Fiyero groaned as he got of out of his bed. Just as he was about to open the door he remember the events from last night. He closed his eyes and immediately got back into his bed. He did not want to talk to anyone today. However, the annoying banging continued.

"Go away!" he shouted angrily.

"You have to get up!" Galinda's high pitched voice called. "It's almost time for class."

Fiyero sighed. She didn't know about Elphaba. He had to tell her, so he quickly got up and opened the door. He refused to look at her, so he looked at the floor.

Galinda shrieked as she took in his appearance. His hair was a mess and his eyes were blood shot. It looked liked he hadn't slept in days. "Fiyero! What in Oz? Are you ok? You look horrible."

"Galinda… I need to tell you something. It's about –"

A very annoyed sigh cut him off. "Please. Can we have this conversation some other time? I'm not going to be late to class because of you two!"

Fiyero looked up at the all too familiar voice. That's when he saw her. In a very confused voice he whispered, "Elphaba?"
