Chapter 24
Galinda's POV
I don't think my eye's could have gotten any bigger when Lin told me the sad story of her
guardian and how she could get her back. But there was still thin bit of suspicion lingering
in my mind. Why would she need a guardian to watch out for her? But then there was one
question I had in my head answered. That was why Lin seemed so sensitive when I asked
her about who the person that tried to kill me was. That the fact it was the person she
probably held so dear to her heart. My eye's trailed to Lin's hurt left arm and the marks on
her neck. I don't know what I would have done if the people I held close did that to me. I
shuttered at the feeling of it. I let my fingers trace the marks on her neck, she shivered at
this but a soft smile formed on her face. "That isn't the only places she has hurt me
though." her voice sounded so weak and sad that I broke my heart. "Where, where else
did she hurt you?" I asked nervously. I was scared to know what other pain she had faced.
Lin signed and shook her right wrist. "When she was first took over, I was near her and
she grabbed my wrist and dug her nails so deep that it was almost to the bone. That was
probably the most painful moment out of all of this. She promised she would never hurt
me." I saw a tear fall and I felt such great sympathy for her that all I could do was put my
arms around her in comfort. "But that wasn't her, that was the other person. And I bet
you are blaming yourself for all of this." I asked sounding more prideful. She only nodded
her head slowly. "now you listen to me missy. This whole thing isn't your fault. You are
doing the best you can and even though you are risking your life, you still came here to
help me. To me that's the most loveliest thing anyone has ever done for me.' I smiled and
wiped a tear from her eye. In more ways than one I could feel in my heart that this girl
meant so much more to me than just a friend, there was something greater. It really
surprised me how a strong feeling for someone can make you feel like you can do anything
and Lin was living proof of that. Then it hit, like a cold rush of summer rain on my skin.
The way to get Lin's guardian back and everything was right there in my face. I let my
hands rest on Lin's shoulder with happiness. "Lin, if I told you to do something and to act
something out, would you do it?' I asked sounding devious. Lin saw the sparkle in my
eyes and smiled with faith. "Of course I always have." only then did our master plan begin
to form.
(Past)Elphaba's POV
When I awoke, I immediately noticed that Galinda was not asleep in her bed, I shot up
with astonishment. It was not like Galinda to wake up early. Heck it wasn't like her at all.
I got up quicker than usual and saw a bright pink letter with "Elphie." written on the front
with beautiful handwriting. I opened the note and my eyes began to skim over it.
Elphie,
Sorry to have left so early but Lin had knocked on the door this morning and invited me to a skip school shopping day. I hope you understand. And later tonight we can go out for dinner, just you, me and Fiyero. Oh and before I forget thanks for everything. You're a true friend. Galinda
I could not help but allowing a smile come over my face. Galinda was not the smartest
blonde of the bunch but she was the sweetest with the biggest heart. I quickly got dressed
for class but before dashing out the door I saw galinda's small pink flower pin she had put
in my hair last night. I signed with a smile as I grabbed the pin and stuck it in my hair
before rushing off to Dr. Dillimonds class with Fiyero.
