Chapter 9
After the park Fiyero had somehow convinced Elphaba to come back to his dorm. He wasn't sure how he got her to come back with him, but here she was, sitting on his bed. Fiyero was sitting on the bed next to her, trying to think of something to say.
Elphaba yawned. "Thanks, Fiyero," he heard her say. "This was fun."
"I'm glad you had fun."
"Ok, I think I'm going to be heading back –"
"NO!" he screamed and she jumped from his sudden outburst.
"Fiyero you have to let her go," a voice said from behind.
Fiyero turned around and saw Lionel. Fiyero could feel the anger building up inside him and it took all his will-power not punch him. "I don't have to do anything," he snapped at the angel.
"Fiyero?" a worried Elphaba asked, "Who… are you talking to? Are you ok?"
"Eh… no. Stay with me tonight. We can spend Lurlinemas together… just please… stay," he was begging her.
Elphaba hesitated, "…No. I don't think Galinda will be very happy. I couldn't do that her. You just broke up… I know we're not dating, but she might get the wrong idea, and…"
"Galinda won't mind."
Elphaba laughed. "I would highly disagree."
"Please, stay."
He looked so sad, and it made her feel ill. "Fiyero, I promise that I will spend Lurlinemas day with you, but I have to sleep at my dorm tonight."
"Can I come?"
He is being ridicules. "I think you can spend one night without me," she laughed. Elphaba slowly walked towards the door and Fiyero quickly followed her.
"I will… you won't," he muttered under his breath.
"What?" she asked.
"Fiyero," he heard Lionel say, "You need to let her go. It's her time."
Fiyero ignored him. "Fae… you can't leave," he tried to tell her, but she was already heading towards the door. "Elphaba…stop…" he didn't no what to say, so he did what he wanted to do. He kissed her.
At first Elphaba was confused and her eyes widen in surprise. But the fact the Fiyero was kissing her made her melt, so she kissed him back. When Fiyero felt her arms circle around his neck he pulled her closer to him. The kiss felt so good, so right. It wasn't like kissing Galinda. No. This kiss was full passion. Passion they had been building up since first met. 'Maybe', he thought 'I proved my love to her.' Wrong. Elphaba suddenly pull away from him. When he looked into her eyes he saw confusion, fear, hope, and… love? He was so stupid. He knew she would run from her feelings.
"Elphaba… I…" Fiyero started, but she cut him off.
"Fiyero… I… I have to go," she told him as she quickly ran towards the door. Before Fiyero could grab her the door slammed in his face. He quickly tried to open it, but the door wouldn't budge. He tried every lock and he even tried kicking it down, but the door wouldn't move. He screamed in frustration.
"Open the door!" Fiyero shouted at Lionel.
"Fiyero," Lionel said calmly, "You have to let her go."
"Why?" Fiyero screamed, "Why does she have to die? I love her."
"I know, but…"
"Please," Fiyero cried, "I'll do anything."
Lionel's eyebrows raised and gave Fiyero a skeptical look. "Anything?"
Fiyero nodded his head, and heard the door swing open. Without hesitation he ran out his apartment door and began his search to find Elphaba.
Fiyero ran out of his dorm as fast as he could. He only had a few more minutes left, and he was panicking. He couldn't see her anywhere, but he knew she couldn't have gone far. He felt sick, his heart was pounding, his head wouldn't stop spinning, and the only thing he could think of was to save Elphaba. Fiyero ran and looked furiously for her, but he couldn't find her anywhere. Fiyero could feel tears threatening to fall from the corners of his eyes… he had to find her. Suddenly, it came to him. He knew Elphaba wouldn't go back to her dorm because that's the first place he would look. There was only one other place that Elphaba loved. The library. Fiyero quickly ran towards the library. He ran around a large building, and he suddenly stopped dead in his tracks. There she was, but she wasn't alone.
She was talking to some man. The man was gripping her arm tightly and Fiyero saw her beginning to struggle against him. Fiyero just stood there, but when he saw the man hit Elphaba across the face he ran towards them. Fiyero was beyond mad, and he would kill the bastard. He followed them into the dark alley and he screamed her name.
"Elphaba!"
She stopped struggling when she heard his voice. A look of fear and anger was painted on her face. She also seemed somewhat shocked that he was there.
"Hey! Leave her alone!" Fiyero screamed at the large man. He tried to sound brave, but when he saw that there were three more men, his confidence slowly lowered. All together there were four huge men. Four huge men that were surrounding Elphaba.
One man snickered. "Who is he? Your boyfriend?" he asked Elphaba.
Fiyero shouted at them again, but they ignored him. Fiyero screamed, but none of them were listening, so he picked up a rock and threw it. It hit one of them in the face and Fiyero watched as the man fell over unconscious. The three other men looked at Fiyero with shock and disbelief. Suddenly, they dropped Elphaba, and they began to run towards him.
He wasn't scared and was prepared to fight, so he held his ground. "Elphaba! Run!" he screamed as three men started to hit him. At first he fought back and for a moment he thought he would be able to hold them off. He was wrong. He was outnumbered. The punches kept coming and the pain was unbearable, but he didn't care. Elphaba was alive and that was all that matter. He heard Elphaba screaming for them to stop, but they didn't. They continued to fight. Eventually, he heard Elphaba scream again. Something about getting help, but he wasn't sure.
He smiled. He had saved her. He had taken her place. He had taken her destiny. He told Lionel he would do anything for her, and he did. He had saved her. He had traded places with her. He had sacrificed his own life to save hers, but he didn't care. She was alive, and that was all that matter.
He smiled as he remembered the women he loved for the last time. Then everything went white.
