Finally, I have updated sorry it took so long everyone.
Chapter 23
Lin's POV
My eyes shot up to Morrible in surprise. She had her face covered by some kinda cloth
only revealing those awful red eyes. Thank Oz that she decided to hide her face. But I
knew as soon as she spoke my real name that I was really a dead girl. "Linda?' Mom
asked sounding very surprised and suspicious. Morrbile's eyes brighten with triumph. "Oh
Miss Katylin did not tell you that Linda is your….Middle name." Wait what?
Had Morrible just covered for me or was Megan actually getting through and helping me
out? Mom's eyes seemed to show that she had bought what Morrible or Megan had just
said. "Why? Why do you want me dead so badly. I have done no wrong to you, who ever
you are?" Mom said with bravery in her voice. Morrible chuckled and pulled Mom's face
towards her's to meet eye to eye. "It's not what you have done, it's what you will do."
With that being said Morrible slapped Mom right across the face. I yelled in anger,
"LEAVE HER ALONE." Morrible's face twisted in a smirk like she was having fun. She
left Mom for a moment and walked over to me. She ran her cold hand across my marks,
unbearable pain shot through my forehead to my whole body. I yelled in pain, tears fell
down my face as I sank to knees. "NO, Please stop your hurting her." Mom begged but
that only made Morrible touch my marks harder. I yelled as my vision became blurry.
"Sorry, Miss Galinda but I am having to much fun with this." only then did Morrible laugh
when I screamed louder. "NO, STOP! Take me instead! I am the one you really want!"
Morrible stopped surprisingly and let her hand leave my marks. "Really, you would put
your life on the line for this girl that you just met and is from the future?" Morrible asked
in shock. Mom looked at me with pleading emerald eyes, her body shook with great fear
of what would happen to her. "No….Galinda…..don't" I begged trying to gain some
strength back. "shut up you." I felt a great pain in my ribs and heard a crack. I gasped for
air trying to regain my breathe. Well one of my ribs are broken. I thought in worry. "Stop!
I will do anything you say just….." She looked back to me and I could have sworn I saw
the motherly love she had for me come through. "Just…leave Lin alone." The redness in
Morrible's eye's began to dim and I knew Megan was getting through. I would have tried
to talk to Megan but where I was kicked I had the breathe knocked out of me. "Deal, I
will leave you two to say your goodbyes." Morrible said quickly unchaining Mom. Then
she left before Megan could regain control. My head hung low in sadness. What was I
going to do? Mom couldn't die, no I wouldn't let her have that chance of dieing. Mom
rushed over to me once she was done rubbing her wrists. "Oh Lin, here let me help you."
She said softly ripping two pieces from the bottom of her nightgown. She wrapped the
first around my forehead for my marks, they throbbed with pain when the cloth touched
them. "I just don't understand. They have never hurt this bad before." I explained weekly
but my eyes remained on the stone floor. "Well maybe it is because you are so far away
from home I guess." Mom said trying to make things better, she let her hand rub the side
of my cheek. But Mom's soothing words didn't convince me that there was something
even more special about my marks and soon I would have to find out what they meant. I
looked up to see grinning a little trying to make the best out of this
situation. "Now this might hurt alittle." She warned taking the other piece of cloth and
wrapping it around my broke rib. My whole body tensed up from the pain and I let out a
small whimper as Mom finished tying it around me. "Galinda, you can't do this you can't
die. I would rather die than see her hurt you again." Mom looked at me with sympathy. "Lin, before when that woman was in here what did she mean when she said your
guardian?" I don't know if the pain had gone to my head but the truth about Megan being
my guardian and that she was being controlled came pouring out of my mouth. I also
began to explain of how to free her.
Boq's POV
I can't believe this. Morrible abandoned me to rust in this cell. And for all I have done for
her. It's all that stupid brat's fault. If she hadn't felt her guardians emotions and if Glinda
had not screamed I would have had her all to myself. But no matter one day Glinda will be
mine, and no one will stop me. Just then I heard a pigeon call as it landed on the window
of my cell. A smile spread across my face when I saw the small note attached to it. I
grabbed the note quickly and read it. Well having friends somewhere else never hurt
anyone. I will have Glinda soon and if that didn't work there was always that enchanting
Megan. If she ever got away from Morrible grasp. I would just have to be patient. What
can I say good things come to those who wait.
