Weeks later and I am still getting reviews! You all are ahmazing! I will try my hardest to write and post the next chapter soon, but I am not making any promises due to how busy I am. Keep the reviews comming!
(A/n: For this chapter you must know that Liir doesn't know much about his parent's past. This is because they never told him. He does know about Dorothy Gale killing the Wicked Witches, but he doesn't realize his mother was the Wicked Witch of the West.)
Dorothy stood up and looked around. It was just as she had remembered it! She looked around some more and saw the yellow brick road. We must be in Munchkin land, she thought. "Follow me," Dorothy said standing up and gesturing for Vanessa to follow.
Vanessa looked at her mom perplexed, "Where exactly are we going to go? How do we know these people are friendly?"
"Vanessa, trust me they are friendly. Last time I visited, they worshiped me because I killed both of the wicked witches," Dorothy said proudly.
"You killed two people?"
"Well, yeah… but they were wicked."
"Wicked or not, they were still people that lost there lives," Vanessa pointed out.
For once Dorothy felt a pang of guilt for killing the two witches. Did they really deserve to die… of course they did! What was she thinking! They tormented Ozians for no reason! If that wasn't wicked she didn't know what was. I must have hit my head when the twister dropped me, she told herself, even though her conscience was full of guilt.
She grabbed Vanessa by the wrist and started to drag her towards the Yellow Brick Road. They had to make it to the Emerald City as quickly as possible because Earl was probably worried about them back at their house, if they even had a house left…
Soon Dorothy and Vanessa came to a split in the road. Dorothy stopped abruptly. This spot was all too familiar. She looked up ahead and there tied to a pole was a scarecrow. Dorothy's heart leapt with joy.
"Scarecrow! It's me Dorothy," she exclaimed, letting go of Vanessa's arm and running at the scarecrow.
"Mom! What the hell are you doing," Vanessa questioned and chased after her mom.
"Scarecrow? Are you awake? Hello," Dorothy asked waving her hand in front of the scarecrow's face.
Vanessa caught up to her mother and was out of breath, "Mom, have you lost your mind? Scarecrows don't talk! They can't even hear or do anything for that matter because they don't have a brain!"
"Yes they do talk, well in Oz they do. When I was your age I had a friend who was a scarecrow."
"That's because you're insane. Let's go."
"But this is him I swear. I found him in this exact spot!"
"Mother you have seriously lost it now let's go. Didn't you say we have to make it to the Emerald City or something?"
"Yes," Dorothy said with a sigh and followed her daughter out of the field, looking back every few seconds at the Scarecrow on the pole.
"I love her! Why don't you get that," an angry Liir shouted at his mother across the room.
"Liir, I don't want you dating this girl!"
"Why? You haven't even met her!"
"She is Glinda the Good's daughter and your father has met her, and he and I both agree you can't see her anymore."
"Do you have something against Glinda the Good?!"
"No, she was my best friend," Elphaba said looking at the floor.
"Than why exactly can I not date her daughter?!"
"She think's your father and I are dead! We faked our deaths and went into hiding and we are worried that she and the rest of Oz will find out we lied and hunt us down again! You're lucky we even let you go to college!"
"You selfish witch! I don't think I'd care if the Gale Force killed you right now," Liir shouted.
"Don't you dare talk to your mother that way," Fiyero said walking in the door, "and you're not dating this girl anymore and that's final."
"I hate you," Liir shouted and ran out the door.
Elphaba's expression turned from one of rage to one of worry. Fiyero approached her and wrapped his straw arm around her, "Don't worry. He will come back."
Liir took off through the woods madly pushing vines and branches out his way as fast as possible. He had to get out of this general area. His parent's would be looking for him, he knew it.
He soon came to the famous Yellow Brick Road and decided to follow it. It supposedly led to the Emerald City, but he wasn't sure because he never actually traveled on it before. He did, however, want to get to the Emerald City, because Glinda the Good and her beautiful daughter, Elinia, lived there. He continued at a fast pace down the Yellow Brick Road, but soon ran into someone.
"Watch it," the person snapped and turned around to glare at him.
It was a girl and Liir guessed she was about his age. "Well sorry, maybe if you weren't in my way this wouldn't have happened."
"Maybe if you actually paid attention this wouldn't have happened."
"Now if you don't mind moving out of my way, I have to get to the Emerald City."
"Well I have to find my mom. She is out searched for a man made of metal. Earlier she was talking to scarecrow! I think she has lost it."
"Oh you mean the tin man and the scarecrow?"
"Um I guess…"
"Well, yeah there is one scarecrow I know that can talk. It must be the one's your mother is talking about. They seem to have a lot of fans."
"Scarecrow's can talk here? Sorry I am not a local. I'm from a place called Kansas."
"That's the other world Dorothy Gale was from! Wow a person from another world hasn't been here in years!"
"Did you say Dorothy Gale?"
"Yeah! She is really famous in Oz. People are still talking about her, but those are mostly the munchkins."
Just then twigs in a nearby bush snapped and both teens jumped and looked towards the source of the sound. A frazzled looking Dorothy came out behind the bush and walked to stand near her daughter.
"I can't find him anywhere," she exclaimed causing Vanessa to sigh and roll her eyes.
Liir's mouth dropped, "Dorothy Gale? It's a pleasure to meet you," he exclaimed shaking Dorothy's hand.
"And who are you," Dorothy questioned.
"I am Liir Thomas," Liir said lying about his last name. Even though he was mad at his parents he still wanted to keep them safe.
"Well it's nice to meet you. Vanessa and I are on our way to the Emerald City."
"I am too," Liir informed Dorothy.
A smile lit up Dorothy's face, "Would you travel with us?"
"Mom," Vanessa hissed under her breath.
"Sure I guess. That is if you don't mind."
"Of course we don't mind! I personally love making new friends," Dorothy said cheerfully.
Vanessa narrowed her eyes, spun on her heel, and walked away, keeping a distance from the two.
Elphaba sat at home staring out one of the cabin's windows in deep thought. Liir was still not home and she was worried sick. Terrible thoughts filled her mind, he probably got caught by the Gale Force, she thought, or maybe a lion, a tiger, or a bear ate him! She got the chills thinking about it. Fiyero had gone out searching for him a few hours ago, she had wanted to help, but he wouldn't let her because it was risking her safety. She sighed, she knew he was right. If an Ozian saw her all hope would be lost and she would be hunted again and then they would surely have to leave Oz then.
A loud ding caused Elphaba to jump out of her chair, but she then realized it was only the clock in the kitchen. She looked at the time it was 8. Wow, it was getting late. This made her even more worried. She looked back out the window and realized the sun was already down and the moon and stars were now visible in the dusk sky. She gazed out the window one last time and hoped that her husband and son would return unharmed.
Wow. This is the longest fanfic chapter I have ever written... anyways...
