(A/N: ok, so this story will definitley not be as long as my previous one to this or whatever. It's almost over really. Maybe two more chapters I think? Then it's on to the third story, the harry potter crossover! Thankyou if you reviewed the last chapter. Sorry for any errors and review this time!)
Maureen crept through the warehouse, every sound and creak made her jump and muffle a scream. She finally got outside and she was utterly surprised when she saw that New York City was completely gone. There were no cars zooming down an asphalt road, but carriages pulled by horses going down cobblestone roads. There were no enormous skyscrapers or metal buildings, but old fashioned building. She looked around and saw that all of the girls wore dresses or skirts. There were no jeans or t-shirts or tennishoes, it was so strange.
"Where am I?" asked Maureen out loud.
"The Emerald City!" replied a girl walking by, she suddenly stopped and looked Maureen over, "You're wearing....pants."
"So." said Maureen indignantly.
"So? That's unheard of! You are so disrespectful!" the girl turned up her nose and walked away with her friends, "Can you believe her?" Maureen was so shocked she just stared after her. She didn't know what to do. She wasn't even in New York City anymore, how was she going to find help?
************
Everyone stood stock still as the bright light faded. They were gone. Fiyero stared at where they'd been. Gone, gone again! She was gone, just when he'd gotten her back! Fiyero finally just fell to his knees and covered his face as he felt stupid tears slide down his face.
"We have to get them back!" said Lucas.
"Maureen's gone?" Joanne chocked out, "Why would she go?"
"She was trying to help Elphaba." Mark snapped, "Damn it."
"Galinda, you took sorcery with Elphaba didn't you?" asked Fiyero, "There must be something you can do?"
"I—I don't know any spells, I can't read the Grimmerie or anything." Galinda stuttered.
"I'm going to blow that out before it starts a damned fire," said Roger, going to blow out the candle. He blew on it, but it wouldn't go out. Suddenly the flame rose up in swirls, turning grin and then widening into a doorway. Everyone looked up and almost at the same time, they all dove through the flames.
*************
The wizard and Morrible had gone to their rooms and left Raman to patrol Elphaba and make sure she didn't escape. He stood outside of the door and punched in the numbers before walking in. She was asleep it seemed, her head on her shoulder. The light from the moon hit her skin and she looked beautiful. Raman grinned and walked towards her and leaned down to her ear.
"Wake up beautiful." he whispered. Her eyes snapped open and she flinched away from him. He laughed cruelly, "Are you ready for some fun?" his hands began working the knots of the rope as he undid them.
"What are you doing?" she asked, her voice laced with fear.
"I'm untying you." he said.
"Why?" she asked.
"You'd think it'd be obvious." he said, kissing her neck.
**************
Galinda, Lucas, Fiyero, Collins, Angel, Roger, Mimi, Mark and Joanne al landed on the hard floor of the warehouse. They heard footsteps and they all tensed, but then they realized it was Maureen. She'd accidentally wandered back to the warehouse, not realizing she'd made a circle.
"How did you guys get here?" asked Maureen, helping Joanne up.
"The candle was still lit and it opened the portal." Galinda said, shakily standing up with Lucas's help.
"Where's Elphaba?" asked Collins.
"She's in that room." said Maureen, "But I don't know how to get in, you have to have the code." They all stood there thinking when they heard a voices from the other side of the room. First a scream.
"Shut up and stop struggling!" Raman yelled. They all froze and started punching numbers at random in.
"Wait!" Angel said, "I saw this on TV!" she picked up a metal trash can propped against the wall and started to hit the lock with it.
"Watch yo fingerahs!" said Collins. On the third hit, the lock came off and they swung the door open. Raman had pushed Elphaba against the wall and was roughly pressed against, his hands roamed across her body and his mouth was on hers. Her dress had been ripped off and was on the floor. All she had on was a thin black slip and Raman's hand was creeping up her side beneath the material. She pushed against his chest and struggled even as he pushed her harder into the wall and yelled at her to stop. She seemed to be covered in blood from multiple cuts all over her. All as one, the bohos plus three Ozians attacked Raman and pushed him off of Elphaba. Elphaba slid down the wall, shaking violently, her hands flying to her face as she pulled her knees up to her chest. Fiyero looked at her and quickly went to her, scooping her up in his arms. She shook violently in his arms and he whispered comforting words in her ear and told her how sorry he was, and how much he loved her. She didn't say anything back, only clung to him, her hands clutching at his shirt.
"YOU FUCKING BASTARD!" Mark yelled, punching Raman in the face while Roger held him down. It seemed everyone took their turns hitting him. Soon Raman was knocked out, blood pouring out of his broken nose.
"Fabala, he didn't....he didn't...did he?" asked Fiyero, his voice shaking.
"No." Elphaba chocked out.
"Oh thank Oz." Fiyero cried, holding her tighter. It felt so good to have her back in his arms. He'd missed her so much. He could breathe again, he felt whole again. They heard footsteps and saw the Wizard and Morrible standing there.
"What in Oz is going on?" asked Morrible. She looked at Raman on the ground and a trembling Elphaba in Fiyero's arms and everyone else, "Guards!" Morrible said. At least eight men appeared behind Morrible and the Wizard. Roger and Collins quickly shot to the door and slammed it shut before Morrible or anyone could do anything. Everyone helped to keep it closed but it proved hard when eight guards were on the other side trying to open it.
"Quick! Do a spell, do something, get us out of here!" Roger yelled as he struggled to keep the door closed.
"I don't have a candle!" Galinda began, "I don't know the spell!" Everyone looked at Elphaba as she weakly pointed to a candle lying on the floor. Galinda quickly picked it up and brought it to her. Elphaba lightly blew on the dead wick of the candle and a blue flame struck up. It swirled and made a portal. Fiyero carried her through and everyone else was quick to follow. The guards burst in but they were already gone.

"What's all that noise?!" asked Rolfe getting up from the dinner table.
"Is Fiyero back?" asked Meredith hopefully. Fiyero had gone missing a few days earlier. Rolfe guessed he'd gone in search of Elphaba, but Fiyero would've left a note or at least have told his parents. Rolfe and Meredith walked into the entrance hall to see a flustered Khol and a room full of people.
"How many scars are there?" asked Fiyero frantically, "Every time one stops bleeding, another seems to start! She's losing too much blood! And that spell just made her weaker." Elphaba had gone unconscious sometime during the jump from the warehouse to the castle. Fiyero looked up and saw his mother and father standing there with shocked expressions.
"What do I do?" asked Fiyero helplessly.
