Chapter 7

"Madame, we need to speak at once." Glinda demanded, tripping over her night gown as she stormed into the old woman's bedroom. "Why did you make me meet that woman?"

Morrible looked clueless. "Well, Deary, I just thought you might want to meet this strange prisoner. I found her rather unique, didn't you?"

"No, Madame, you're lying." The blonde said harshly, shaking furiously. "You know something. Why did that girl say she knew me?"

Morrible shook her head and patted the bed, indicating the good witch to sit. The blonde denied her offer. "Well, you see, that woman down there, I know her personally. She use to be a student of mine…great person, but was obsessed with the Wicked Witch of the West. She made her skin green. That woman down there, wants to be just like the Wicked Witch. She claimed to know you, so she could have power over Oz. You see, Elphaba, the girl down in the dungeon, figured if you two became friends, she could finish The Wicked Witch's work."

Glinda's arms were still shaking, but she was breathing easily. "Really?"

"Yes, dear, I would never lie to you about something like that."

The blonde took the seat Morrible offered, and stared at her hands. "I don't understand why anyone would want to follow that stupid old Witch."

"Nor do I, dear. But if you'd excuse me, I'd love to get some sleep. It's been a pleasure talking with you, Lady Glinda."

"Good night, Madame." Glinda saw her way out, and shut Morrible's door softly behind her.

The blonde slowly crept her way up the stairs, her tummy flipping in all sorts of ways. She couldn't get the green girl out of her head. The name Elphaba sounded so familiar, and the girls face seemed to tear the good witch's heart in two. Morrible's story seemed a little hard to believe, but the Madame had never lied to her before.

The thoughts kept running through Glinda's head, and she decided it would be best to go to sleep and try to dream. When she finally made it up to her room, she didn't seem to fully make it on the mattress before falling asleep. Her head and arms lay on the bed while the ruler of oz drifted into a sleep.

"Elphie why'd you have to be so stupid!" Glinda cried, slamming her foot on the ground. "Now you got the Wizard of Oz to try to kill us!"

"Not kill us, Glinda, and you know I was trying to tell him about the Animals!"

"I hope you're happy!" Glinda yelled, sitting down roughly on the ground and folding her arms across her chest childishly.

There was a silence. "Glinda, I think it's time I try doing what I know is right. I don't care what anyone else says or thinks. I need to do this."

Glinda jumped up. "Elphie what do you mean?"

"I'm going to help the Animals, Glinda," Elphaba said sternly, blinking tears away. "And this is goodbye."

Glinda's eyes filled with tears as she gave her friend a cloak to wear. "I hope you're happy in the end Elphie."

Elphaba smiled, and they're eyes were connected. Suddenly, there was banging, and the door fell. Glinda screamed, and before she knew it, Elphaba was in the air.

"No one can bring me down!" Elphaba yelled, looking at the guards.

They started screaming at her, bringing their guns out and firing. Elphaba flew away, and disappeared into the night. The guns kept being fired.

"I hope you're happy…" Glinda said so softly, she collapsed in tears. Her world was spinning, everything darkened-

"Lady Glinda! Wake up!" A guard shook her, and Glinda frantically jumped.

"Why, my Lady, you were screaming! Is everything alright?"

"Oh, oh yes, I so apologize." She breathed, blinking quickly.

The guard nodded and stood up. "You have a group of Ozians expecting to be spoken too."

Glinda was quiet for a moment. "Tell them I'm not feeling well," she lied. "And I'll speak to them another day."

"As you wish." With that the guard left, closing the door behind him.

The sun was out; meaning Glinda had slept in slightly late. She slowly got up, trying to remember the dream she had. Frustrated, she pounded her bed. All she could remember was the fact the green girl was in it. And her name was Elphaba.

Glinda knew something was wrong. She quickly gathered a dress and attempted to go to the dungeon.

However, when she got to the doors, a guard stopped her. "Sorry, you can't see the prisoners. Madame Morrible requests you not to. 'Says you're going crazy about it. I think it best you not see the green one."

"I'm the ruler of Oz." Glinda said coolly. "My word over powers Morrible's. I demand you let me see that prisoner."

The guard hesitated. "I do think it best you at least eat some breakfast first. Seeing somethin' as awful lookin' as that could ruin you're appetite, aye?" he laughed.

Glinda scowled, and stormed up the stairs. She wasn't hungry. She wanted to talk to that Elphaba girl.

Going into the dining room, she saw Morrible eating at the end of the table. "Why, Lady Glinda! I heard you had a rough night. And today's the day you have to sign those papers saying the Animal's can't run stores anymore!"

The blonde stopped. "When did I say I'd sign that?"

"The other day deary, you even announced it."

The Witch paused. "Oh," she said bluntly, "do you think you could sign the papers for me? Tell them I gave you permission to sign them with your name, but it still makes it legal through Oz."

"Anything for the ruler of Oz," Morrible said boldly, bowing her head.

"Madame, can I please speak to that prisoner?"

"The green one?" Morrible asked, raising a brow. "I think it would be in your best interest no to, deary."

"Madame, I demand to know why you forbid me to see Elphaba."

"Oh, you said that blasted disgusting name." The Madame cringed. "I just think she'd put horrible thoughts in your head."

"Madame you have papers to sign," Glinda said coolly. "I think you better go do that."

"As you wish, Lady Glinda." Morrible said just as coolly. The old woman left in a rush, her stubby legs making her waddle.

In a heartbeat the blonde was down the stairs, heading towards the dungeon. The guard, not bothering to argue this time, unlocked the room the green prisoner was in, and let Glinda go inside.

"Would you like the door closed, My Lady?" he asked politely, his accent filling ever word.

"Yes, thank you." She nodded, and the guard closed the door and left. Glinda started walking towards the green girl, who looked up at her, eyes filled with pain.

"Elphaba…" The blonde said, trying out the name on her tongue.

A spark was seen in the brown eyes. "You remember me, Glinda?" The woman asked hopefully, moving as far away as the handcuffs would let her go. Glinda didn't realize this the night before, but the girl was attached to chains by her wrists, keeping her to the wall.

"No, I don't know who you are." Glinda replied bluntly, sitting down somewhat near the woman. "But I want to find out."
