Heyy, just wanted to thank Malurina, and DefyingGravity67 for reviewing my last chapter. You guys are the best. Also I have something I need advise for from all my readers. I am thinking about making a complete series out of this story line. I might have like two more stories of this. But I need your help. When you review vote and tell me what I should do. If you really like this story and wish it to continue into two more stories and maybe some flashback one shots, then I need a little convincing from my readers.
Chapter 13
Elphie's POV
"Yero, honey could you just maybe give the medicine to Jen and Glinda for me? I need
some fresh air." I asked nervously as my green hands shook from everything that had
happened today. Yero smiled at me gently. "Of course Fae, you go on now out to the
balcony. I 'll fix them up then you need to get you some rest." He said easily getting up
out of the leather chair near Jen's bed and walking over to grab the small potion bottle of
medicine I had made for Jen and Glinda just a few hours ago. "Oh and Fae." Yero called
for me before I could go out the door and onto the balcony. I turned around with a gentle
smile. "I love you." He said so sweetly. A could feel my cheeks burning like they were on
fire. "I love you too." I said trying to sound even more sweeter then him but I always
failed. Yero had a way of always making me blush no matter what he said in his romantic
voice. I guess that was what love could do to you. The cold air hit my face with the
strength that felt like a bucket of cold water was tossed on me. It felt so good against my
skin and relieved some of my tensed muscles. The moon shone brightly over Oz and
shown many stars that it reminded of the sea. But then my thoughts trailed to a memory
just a few months ago. Lin and I were coming back into the castle after a party out in the
garden for Jen's birthday and the sky was much like it was tonight, filled with stars and a
bright full moon. "Hey Elphie, doesn't it look just like a sea of stars?" I remember Lin
asking me admiring the beautiful scene. The memory brought back all the worry and heart
ache that I had hidden all day long. Lin was somewhere in the past back at Shiz. While
Megan was being controlled and somewhere else, and it was all my fault. I had the vision I
should have warned Lin, Megan and Glinda before the ball. If I had maybe Megan would
still be here and Lin wouldn't be all by herself. Alone in the past. I couldn't imagine what
she is feeling right now. I signed heavily looking back up to the moon. All I could do now
was help Glinda and Jen all I could and have faith that Lin read the letter I left her in the
small spell book I had given her. Knowing her she is probably already read it and the
memories are giving her as much courage and strength as they did me when I used the
spells to look back at them. It was then that my eyes caught sight of the most brightest
star in the sky just above the full moon and I instantly felt that Lin was looking at the
same star too, wherever she was. I grinned at thought of her and just simply whispered
under my breathe, "Good night Lin, Sleep well."
Lin's POV
Mom, Megan, come on please come back." I moaned and jumped out of my nightmare
Cold sweat ran down the back of my neck and soaked the bottom of my hair. I sat up
quickly trying to pull the dark memory of the nightmare out of my head. I jumped when I
heard a small crash on the floor. I looked down and saw Elphie's small spell book she had
given me laid half open on the floor. I signed and pulled the book up on my lap, while I
tossed the sweaty blanket off of my legs. My room was filled with moonlight so I didn't
need a lamp to see the spells Elphie had listed me in the back of the book. What I
wouldn't give to have Elphie's, Mom's, Megan's, or Dad's arms around me right now.
Rubbing my back and telling me everything was alright and that it was just a dream but I
didn't and that made me want to start crying my eyes out. Bu then Elphie's words from
her letter came back to my mind, "I have faith in you Lin. These memories will give you
strength." I closed my eyes and fought back the tears that wanted to come out but I
wouldn't be weak. I had to be strong for my family. I opened my eyes and looked over the
first spell. I mumbled it fueling it with the grief that was locked in my heart and I saw a
small white light shown before my face and then it grew wider revealing a scene that
looked like backstage of Wicked. Then I heard her voice.
'Well, Elphie I think this is a whole new beginning for us isn't it." Mom said cheerfully I
saw Mom and Elphie step through the same emerald portal that I had stepped so many
times through and walked across to center stage. A grin was placed on both of their
faces. "Yes, Glinda I think it is. All of Oz will soon know the complete story and so will
this world. Fiyero said he couldn't be more proud of both of us." Elphie said with pride.
They took each other's hand and squished them tight. "Elphie, I just I have this feeling."
Mom said as she let out a sign. Elphie looked at her with curiosity. "What is it?" Mom
looked out to the stage and then to Elphie. "I just have this amazing feeling. Something
really good is going come out of this. Something that I can't describe. Something that
will change our life's for good." I gasped when I saw Mom let her free hand trace the
exact necklace that was around my neck. Elphie chuckled and said, "Well, we will just
have to wait and see."
Then the light then vanished and I found myself letting the tears burn and flow down my
cheeks. That was the memory when Mom and Elphie decided to do Wicked. I couldn't
keep the butterflies still in my stomach so I got up and walked over to the window, the
spell book was still tight in my hand. I stared up to the beautiful full moon and instantly
thought of home. I smiled but my heart grew lighter when I saw my favorite star. The star
I always found myself wishing on. The North Star shown brightly right above the full
moon and I felt as though Elphie was watching it too. I giggled and felt that I was full of
courage. I wiped the tears from my eyes and some of the stress from me left.
"Thanks Elphie, you were right. Some memories bring strength when you need it."
