Chapter 16
Galinda's POV
My mind was still in shock to know what I had just uncovered about Katylin Hilty. Oh
was that even her real name? I pulled away from her hand and pulled myself back a bit. I
was really scared to know why she had some back and why she was in the condition she
was in. But her expression saddened as I back away. She held out her hand towards me.
"Please Galinda, don't be afraid of me. That's the last thing I want." She said still
sounding a little weak but I could tell the sadness of me being afraid of her. I looked into
those emerald orbs of her's and found the feeling that she wasn't a threat to me. Maybe
she could help me since I helped her. So I came back towards her and her face brightened.
"I just want to know something's about you Katylin. Or is that even your real name?" I
joked trying to sound like this was all normal. Surprisingly Katylin giggled a little, her
smile returned but you could still tell she was in pain. "Well, Yes Katylin is my real name.
But I can only explain so much understand." She sounded very serious about this and I
just nodded easily. "I am really only fourteen years old and I am an Upland . But that
besides the point. Someone from the future had come back here to kill you Galinda. I am
not joking about this. So I was sent by your family, to come and make sure no harm come
to you." I gasped at this and my shaking hand went to cover my mouth. Looking down at
her hurt arm I asked shaking, "Is that why you got hurt?" but I already knew that answer.
Katylin shook her head easily and touched her forehead markings. "Oh," I said grabbing
her free and hand and holding it tight. "I don't know how to thank you. I mean you are
only fourteen and you are mature and willing enough to come and protect me. That's the
most thoughtful thing anyone had ever done for me." I said with a tear in my eye. "Well, I
consider you like family in future Galinda." Katylin said with a smirk. "But wait how do I
know who the person is that is after me?" I asked sounding more scared than ever before.
Katylin signed and her eyes shot down to her arm. "Um, well the only thing I can tell you
is Blood red eyes. You see those you run for your life." She sounded more sensitive when
I mentioned who the person was. But then I couldn't keep from starring at the beautiful
light blue and emerald marks any longer. Jealousy for them ran through me. If I had those
kind of markings I think I would be the most beautiful girl in all of Oz. But on the other
hand I had a different feeling inside me. It was hard to describe. Like I was beginning to
feel like it was my duty to help her. She winced in pain and laid back down on the bed.
"Oh here I'll get you a cold wash cloth to put on your forehead." I said reaching my small
hand and rubbing the marks lightly. They felt hot, I mean like they were on fire. Lin
winced in pain when tips of my fingers met her marks. "Please don't touch my marks.
They are hurting for some reason." Her eyes were closed and I could tell she was trying to
fight back tears. "Oh don't worry I have just the things here to help ya." I said brightly
heading off to my duffle bag in the bathroom. But as soon as I shut the door behind me I
fell to my knees and took in everything I had just learned. Someone was after me. No,
someone wanted me dead but why? I had not done anything well not yet at least. I knew
for a fact Katylin wasn't going to tell me everything but still. I had to make sure I watched
myself at all times. How come I just had a feeling that this was more than just a random
person wanting me dead. No, the feeling was strong. Something had happened in the
future and Katylin was at the center of it trying to make things right.
Norbert's POV
"Stop wasting our time you piece of tin." I said fiercely as fiyero took another right hook
to Boq's face. "That was for Elphaba." He said with satisfaction. Boq only chuckled more.
Fiyero and I had noticed that Jen and Glinda weren't getting any better so we had come
down here for some answers. "Tell us how to reverse your stupid spell. NOW!" I said
getting more angry by the minute. Blood tingled down his face but still he did not answer.
I was getting ready to punch him with everything I had in me but then suddenly he spoke.
"For Jennifer all Elphaba has to do is keep her healing spells going but for Glinda." He
grinned devilishly. "Now that is a different story. Only something of pure Uplands can
save her." fiyero and I looked to one other. Our faces grew in worry. I struck Boq hard
busting his nose just to make me feel better. "Keep him here and don't let anyone near
him." fiyero ordered as we left the room and went to Elphaba to tell her what we had
learned.
"Fae, we have found out something." Fiyero announced as we came in the door at full
sprint. Elphaba's face lit up with hope. She was beginning another healing spell on Jen.
Dmitri had gone to the library to check up on a book about controlling a person with
magic and how to overcome on it. Apparently his mind could not leave the idea of how
Megan might be right now and I couldn't blame him "What is it? What can I do?" She
asked with hope. "for Jen all you have to do is keep the healing spells up. But for Glinda."
Fiyero signed and looked over to Glinda I walked over to her and noticed she had gotten
paler. "Oh my sweet Glinda. Please, please stay with me." I begged as my heart ached for
her. "What, what is it?' Elphaba asked sounding more scared. "Boq said only something of
pure Uplands can save her." Elphaba's face fell in confusion. "I don't know what that
means. Fiyero what are we going to do?" Elphaba asked fighting tears while Fiyero pulled
her in his arms. He shook his head sadly hoping for an answer. But then I heard her speak
and my heart jumped in surprise. "Nor, is it you?' Glinda asked barely above a whisper. I
then laid down on the bed beside her pulling her fac into my chest. "Yes Love, it's me. I
am here." I said easily trying to sound normal. "Oh Nor I love you." was all she said
before she passed out again. Elphaba and fiyero walked over quickly to Glinda and
touched her hair. "Oh Lin where ever you are please hurry." Elphaba begged with hope.
The thoughts of my daughter sent worry and fear up my spine. I couldn't bare to loose the
love of my life and my daughter, no, I would kill myself before I let that happen.
