Chapter 18

Lin's POV

The next day seemed more I don't know happier than the others. Everyone was in the

center of the campus at the big statue reading or studying. I noticed that Elphaba had left

early that morning to go off and start her sorcery seminar. Which in a way was spying but

I had all the rights for their safety I guess. I had just magicically made changes to my

clothes into a whit t-shirt with a black skirt, my flats and my cap. I put a new bandage on

my arm and my neck gash looked just like finger nail marks so I seemed there was no

harm in showing them, and they seemed not to hurt as bad. "Oh Miss Katylin, hello I was

wondering If you could tell me where Ms. Galinda is by any chance?" I turned around to

face a smiling happy go lucky Boq. My muscles tightened when I saw him and I felt my

pulse begin to speed up. It hurt me to see him so in love with Mom when all she was

going to do is hurt him more. I nodded easily, "Um, yes Boq she is over there near the

statue talking to Pfannee about some clothes or something like that." I explained with a

jumpy voice. He thanked me quickly as he ran off to woo Mom. But then I had this feeling

wash over me. Like I had seen this before. I walked around to the statue and saw Mom

and Boq standing near the small gravel road that lead out of Shiz. Wait a minute I have

seen this before. I smiled brightly when I saw a small emerald carriage coming this way.

Just then Elphie was walking by Mom and Boq when Fiyero's carriage hit her side causing

all of her books. "HEY!," Elphie screamed in anger. "Please miss you will disturb him."

the driver tried to calm her down but of course failed. "I sure will, WAKE UP YOU!,"

Elphie yelled again. "Miss, do you know who this is?" The driver asked in panic. "I don't

care who this is. You almost ran me over. Are you sleeping?" Fiyero raised his head

awake finally. I giggled a little under my breathe because it was really funny to see Fiyero

and Elphie act like they hated each other when I was so used to them only showing love

and compassion towards one another. "Of course, it's day time. Well I guess I'll see you

later. Don't worry I'll be out of this school as quick as all the others." Fiyero said to his

driver as he did a handshake with him. While Elphie began to pick up her books. Once the

driver had left Elphie confronted him. "so you're not going to say sorry or anything. I

mean seriously you could have stopped." Elphie complained even more as she glared at

Fiyero in disgust. "Well, maybe the driver saw green and thought it meant go." Oh man if

I could only laugh as loud as I could right now because this was so funny to me. Elphie

left hastily and Galinda began to squeal in delight. "Biq, do you know who that is?" She

grabbed Boq's arm tight. "You're touching me." Boq said in awe. But Mom ignored it

and explained with a smile. "That's Fiyero Tigglar, that Winkie Prince's reputation is so

scandalisious." Mom then quickly left Boq and quickly came forward to face Fiyero. Oh

my OZ, This is going to be so awkward for me. This just isn't right, Mom flirting with

Fiyero. I watched everything I had seen from Wicked unfold before my eyes. And I

couldn't help but feel like I was invading in on their private things. But then for some odd

reason I felt a rush of cold come over me. Oh no, that could only be one person. Megan

was near and I knew it she was going to try and hurt Mom or Fiyero. My muscles tensed

up and I tried to brush it off and let Elphie's wit take over me. I wasn't going to let

Morrible hurt any of the people I loved. I looked around the campus trying not let my eyes

look for any sight of red. There right at the edge of the entrance to the garden. Everyone

was too focused on Mom and Fiyero to notice me and the wand appearing in my hands

and me walking quickly to where I had seen Megan. I entered the long maze of green my

nerves become tense and filled with worry. "Alright Morrible, I have had it show

yourself." I ordered and my voice did not sound shaky at all. It sounded brave this time.

That was when I heard her chuckle. "Oh how noble. The brave Princess comes to face

me." Then she jumped out of the shadows eyes blazing blood red and her crooked smile. I

gripped the wand tight and let my mind relax and focus on Megan. Maybe I can reach her.

I thought speaking in my mind. "Megan, Megan can you hear me?" I thought strongly but

my eyes never left Morrible's. "Uh, Lin, it's you. Listen to me you have to shoot Morrible.

It's the only way to get her way and give me a chance to fight her back." Megan

responded and my heart lifted but then dimmed when I realized what she had said. "But,

Megan I can't hurt you. I love you too much too." I thought feeling nervous. "No, you

listen. I love you too but this is something I know you can do. Just focus on Morrible an

your magic will only hit her not me." I nodded my head and fought back tears. "Okay

Megan. But remember this is for you." I thought hard and then changing my focus to

Morrible. All my anger began to rise and a burning fire grew in the pit of my stomach.

"Ha, are you actually going to hurt Megan." Morrible said trying to take advantage of me.

But then I heard Megan and found my strength once again. "Don't listen to her Lin. You

are stronger and I know you can save me." My face tightened in determination and I let

my emotions towards Morrible fill the wand with power. I let the wand point towards her

and the bright light shot out so quick I don't think saw it until it hit Morrible right in the

side. She didn't yell in pain as she fell to her knees. "Well, I am impressed you hurt the

one you care so much about Miss Linda." Morrible said sounding impressed but she

cringed in pain. But then I heard Megan once again. "Lin, I am fine. Morrible is really hurt right now but you need to go and watch out for Glinda, Elphie and Fiyero." I let the

wand vanish from my hands and I began to walk away when I heard Morrible call me,

"You think you can save all the loved ones you care about, we will just see Miss Linda.

You will see." Then Morrible vanished with pitch of smoke and all I could do was run

away and find Mom, Fiyero or Elphie. My mind was a blur at what had just happened and

for the fact I might have just given Megan the opportunity she needs to break free. When I

came back from the garden I saw Fiyero and Mom facing each other their foreheads

touching one another and their lips pressed together as well. I began to gag in disgust.

Okay that was just EW! "Oh, okay." I mumbled when Mom and Fiyero parted and Mom

noticed and walked over to me. "Oh Lin, isn't it just wonderful . Fiyero I just perfect in

everyway." mom squeaked with joy. Oh gosh my stomach turned and I was just lost of all

speech so instead I just nodded. Mom wrapped her arms around me cheerfully. "Oh I am

going to my room to get ready so will you come with me or will you be in your room

getting ready your self?" Mom asked with innocence. But then my head got an idea. I

could keep Elphie, Fiyero, and Mom save from Morrible and maybe get a chance to free

her all in one night. So I smiled perfectly and said, "Oh I will be in my room getting ready.

I'll see you tonight Miss Galinda." She jumped up and down in a hyper way. "Okay, I will

see you later then." But then I jumped when she grabbed my hand with hers and looked

me dead I the eyes and I saw those full of love emerald orbs. "I will feel very safe when

you will be there tonight." I smiled back and my heart felt higher. I nodded again and

watched Mom run off to her room to get ready. I stood there in an impressed kinda way.

Mom was slowly coming along and I knew tonight would be the night I would see the

friendship that brought me to who I was today.
