Please read and review! The moer reviews the quicker the update!

Glinda woke up shivering. Where am I, she thought. Her thoughts from the previous day returned to her and she sighed. She tried to move, but it hurt so badly. She was hungry, alone, and freezing. She had to get back to the Emerald City, but she couldn't move any part of her without a pain surging though her body. She was sure she was going to die. She started to sob weakly and barely noticed a rustling in the bushes.

Glinda looked up and the sound of a twig snap and saw a tall teenage looking boy emerge from the bushes. His eyes widened at the sight of her. He rushed to her side and helped her sit up.

"Are you alright," he asked sounding very worried.

"No. I think I have broken something. I am also quite lost. Can you tell me where I am?"

"This is the land across the Impassable Desert," the boy told her. "Who are you?"

"Oh my, I really did get off course. I am Glinda. My home is in the Emerald City."

"Wow that's a long way from here. I have never visited it, but my parents have. I am Liir by the way."

"That's a nice name," Glinda said politely.

"Well, I better get you to safety. You can't sit here forever, you might die. My mom might be able to tend to your wounds. She is very good at things such as injuries," Liir ensured her.

"Your very kind," Glinda said smiling. There was hope she would survive. Hopefully her injuries weren't all that bad and Liir's family was trustworthy.

Liir picked Glinda up in his arms and started to carry her back to his family's small cabin not too far from here.

Liir approached his dad's garden. It had really expanded in the last few years. He saw his dad down at the other side of the garden, "Dad," he shouted.

Fiyero turned at his son's voice. He could sense the worry in his tone. He looked up and saw Liir emerging from the woods with a limp body in his arms. He jogged over to his son's side.

"What is wrong?"

"I found this woman in the woods. I think she broke something," Liir said. He was out of breath because he had hurried back as fast as he could.

Fiyero got a closer look at the woman in Liir's arms and nearly fainted. What in Oz's name was Glinda doing here? How had she found them?

"Scarecrow," questioned a weak Glinda.

Fiyero nodded in shock.

"I haven't seen you since you disappeared after Dorothy left Oz," Glinda stated in a quiet voice.

Fiyero had never seen Glinda look so bad in her life. He dress was torn and dirty. Her make up was smeared and her eyes didn't have that perkiness in them as they usually did.

Glinda turned her gaze to Liir, "You're related to the scarecrow?"

Liir nodded and smiled.

"Wow what a small world. Did you know he used to be a good friend of mine," Glinda said and then coughed. She must have caught something from spending a night on the damp forest floor.

Fiyero thought to himself…friend? Surely she wouldn't be thinking that if she knew his true identity.

Liir looked at his dad, "You were her friend? Really? That is so cool!"

Fiyero nodded in agreement. "I'll go inform your mother that she'll need to clear some space for our guest.

"It might take a while, Mom has packed the spare room with books," Liir said making both him and his father laugh.

Fiyero took off towards the house and Liir followed behind slowly, not wanting to hurt Glinda anymore.

"Thank you scarecrow," Glinda called out weakly and coughed again.

"You know my dad wasn't always a scarecrow. My mom told me he used to be human, but something about a spell gone wrong…? I don't know the story is very confusing."

Glinda smiled at Liir as he walked up his porch stairs and entered the house. He saw his mother carrying a load of boxes stuffed with books and shoving them into an already full closet. She was pushing on the closet door trying to get it closed.

"Oh Liir, good, you are home. Your father mentioned we have a guest who is ill," Elphaba said managing to close the closet door and then returning to the spare room to get the last of the boxes.

She carried them out into the hall. They looked quite heavy.

"Should I go lay her on the bed," Liir questioned.

"Yeah, the room is clean. Wait what is her name? Do you know," Elphaba said focusing on getting the boxes into the closet without dropping them.

"Glinda," Lirr replied.

Elphaba eyes went wide and she dropped the boxes on her foot and jumped back in pain. "What," she exclaimed.

Please review! :D
