Chapter Ten
Glinda smiled proudly as she found the book. Gazing at the cover, she shivered with discomfort. She had never picked up the book before. It gave her chills every time she glanced at it, as if someone was telling her things would go wrong if she opened it. Holding it close, she left her room and hurried down the stairs.
As if by chance she ran into Morrible once again. This time she wasn't planning on conversation, and attempted to go past.
"Oh, Miss Glinda, I do hope you like it in that cell with that witch." Morrible teased. Guards gathered around her.
"What are you talking about, Madame?" Glinda inquired, completely in a state of confusion. "I'm just going there to talk with Elphaba."
"And you'll be staying there, too." Morrible nodded her head towards the blonde. Two guards went over and grabbed Glinda's arms roughly.
"Get off of me." She demanded, but they didn't move. "What are you doing? I said let me go." The book fell from her hands.
"Yes, but I told them hold on, no matter what fight you put up." Morrible's words were cold. "You see, Lady Glinda, the other day you told me I could sign your papers, did you not?"
The blonde hesitated, but nodded. "Well, I asked them to print out a new paper. A paper that I said you mentioned I could sign."
Glinda tilted her head. "What paper? I never spoke of one particular paper you could sign."
Morrible smiled nastily. "I'm aware of this. Well, the document we're speaking of was one I had to sign without your permission, even though they thought I had it."
"What did the document say?" The blonde could not be more confused. Her heart was racing, and she got chills throughout her body once again.
"The document said that I, Morrible, was the new ruler of Oz. That you, Lady Glinda, were to tired of the pressure, and handed me the power." Her wicked laughter echoed throughout the castle. Glinda's heart dropped.
"W-What?" Glinda's ears couldn't believe what they were hearing. How could someone she trusted so do this to her?
"And so, I told the guards to take you to the dungeon, along with your little friend. Have fun, Lady Glinda." Morrible's laugh made Glinda's ears bleed.
"Wait, put me down I say! This is completely ridiculous!" The Good Witch started kicking her feet while they picked her up off the ground. Morrible picked up the book, which lay helpless on the ground.
"Ah, the Grimmerie, how amazing this book is still in tact. But this serves no purpose to me, seeing as I can't read a damn thing in it." The old woman handed it to one of the guards. Glinda recognized him as the man who let her into the dungeon. "Burn it. Make sure no piece of this book is ever readable again."
"As you wish, ma'me." He nodded. Glinda's heart sank deeper into her stomach.
"Let me go!" The two men dragged the blonde down the stairs, and threw her into the cell. Elphaba stared wide-eyed and helped Glinda off the ground.
"What happened?" Elphaba asked, fixing Glinda's dress.
"Morrible took over Oz." The blonde uttered, eyes filling with tears. "You were right. She's just as wicked as you said she was."
The green woman's eyes lost all emotion that was in them. "I've hated her since I first laid eyes on her." Elphaba looked at the blonde, up and down, soaking in her face's features. She was exactly the same. She was still beautiful, even if she couldn't imagine what had really happened between them. Sure, Elphaba told her, but nothing could be the same as living it. This Glinda would never know the tension, the hatred or the depression both were caused by each other.
Suddenly Elphaba felt water come to her eyes. She turned quickly and then gazed out the barred windows. Glinda tilted her head and took a step forward. "Are you alright?" She asked, placing a hand on Elphaba's shoulder.
The green woman felt tears slowly roll down her face. She took a deep breath and faced the blonde. "Have I done something wrong?" The blonde's eyes were wide, filled with fear.
"You've no idea," Elphaba gulped, not thinking about what she was saying, "how much you're hurting me."
Tears sprung to the blonde's eyes. "What do you mean?" Glinda's lip trembled as Elphaba took a gentle step forward.
"It hurts me so much," Elphaba paused, choosing her words carefully, "being in the same room with you, but it not being the actual, well, you." Elphaba stopped, seeing the confusion in the blonde's eyes. She started again, "Glinda, I know you. The real you. And I'd do anything to have you again. You have no idea how much it hurts being with you and you not remembering a thing."
"Oh, Elphie…" The blonde trailed, tears pouring down her face silently.
Elphaba's heart stopped. "Did you just call me Elphie?"
Glinda's lips were parted slightly as her mind wandered. "Yes, I did. Did I offend you?"
The green woman smiled slightly, heart pounding in her ears. She knew Glinda was somewhere in there. "I'm going to get your memory back, Glinda. If it kills me." Elphaba promised, wiping a tear from the blonde's face. The blonde gave half a smile and then brought Elphaba into an embrace. Swallowing hard, her mind started racing.
For some reason, holding this Elphaba woman made her heart jump. It felt right, as though they fit perfectly with each other. The brunette obviously had no intention of letting go, nor did the blonde.
Glinda's mind was searching for an answer for a few moments when it finally struck her. Having Elphaba in her life made her feel complete. It was almost as if a void was filled in her heart, even though she never realized it was there before.
