Chapter 25
Jen's POV
My nerves were going crazy as I watched Elphie perform another healing spell on Glinda.
She looked so fragile and weak. But then again I knew she was, I could sense she was
fighting to get better but was just having trouble from the pain. Fiyero and Elphie had me
watching over Glinda's emotions and try figure out what was going on in her head for a
couple of hours now. Yea I know that was what I was suppose to do by being her blood
guardian but when Lin was born she told me to never worry about her emotions but every
so often her emotions did flow to me. So I never lost practice when it came to that but
figuring out what she is thinking. That's a different story. "Jen, how is she doing? Do you
see a change in her?" Elphie asked as she finished the spell. I then closed my eyes, clearing
my mind of everything. It took me a minute but I knew I was feeling her emotions when I
felt a sharp pain in my side. It took a lot of strength for me just to stand there. "Ouch, oh
man Elphie. The pain has dimmed maybe a little but not much. I feel dizzy." I said opening
my eyes and putting my hand on my head. Nessa was there by my side supporting me as
she led me to the bed. Elphie and Norbert's expressions darkened as Norbert began to
brush his hand against Glin's pale cheek, "Oh if only I could hear your voice Love. I
would give anything to see your smile." Norbert wept taking Glin's hand in his. Nessa
looked at Bert with great sympathy. I could see that everyone was beginning to loose
hope. Especially Dimitri, this had to be hard on Norbert and him the most. The Loves of
their lives one gone, one dying. I don't see how they can do it. Then an idea popped in
my head, that made a smile spread across my face and joy in my heart. Even though it was
risky it might just work "Norbert," I said gently getting up from my spot to place a comforting hand on his shoulder. He turned to me and only then did I see his blood shot
puffy eyes, his stained cheeks, and pale face. He looked a wreck and like that a piece of
hid heart had cracked. "I think I have an idea to where you can talk to Glin. Where I have
a bond with her, I could let her thoughts come to me and maybe you could talk to her."
Norbert's face lit up the brightest I had seen this whole time, his arms went quickly around
my shoulders with joy. "Oh Jen, thank you, for just trying this. You don't know what this
means to me." "Jen do you really think you can do it. I mean imagine how much strength
it could take from you.' Nessa warned sounding nervously. I turned to her, Elphie and
Dimitri, their faces were in the same uneasy expression. But I smiled softly knowing this is
what Glin would do for me if she could. I nodded feeling very confident. "I'm sure, even if
it makes me weak. It's a risk I'm willing to take for Glinda." I said motioning Norbert to
move out of the way to give me room. I looked at Glin's pale face and thought about Lin
before grabbing her hand with mine and placing my other hand on her temple. I closed my
eye's easily an just called out Glinda's name before everything went blank.
Morrible / Megan's POV
This was perfect just too perfect. My plan is going better than I could have ever hoped. Of
course I knew Lin would do anything to save her mother but galinda actually saying she
would take Lin's place. Oh this was too perfect. I get rid of the two pests in my life that
foiled my plans before. Soon all of Oz will be mine. "No, it won't. Lin and Glinda will
stop you, just like they did before." Would you just shut up, and enjoy the show, because
there is nothing your precious little head can do about it. I thought at Megan before
opening the door to the room I held Lin and Galinda in, only I gasp at the scene I had
come upon. "NO! STOP DO-.' Lin's cries were cut short and I saw what I thought I
would never see. Galinda stood in front of Lin a sharp blade in her hand while the other
end was in Lin's chest. Her eye's were still open and lifeless. "Oh sweet Oz." I breathed
pushing Galinda out of the way to unchain the body of Lin to examine the wounds. "I
wasn't going to give myself up for her. You were right and I would like to join you."
Galinda said in a cold voice. Her expression was dark and showed no mercy. I was about
to answer her when I heard a muffle cry. "Mm..egan. I' I." "Lin, OH sweet Oz. No. hang
on Lin, you can't die." Megan called out and I found myself talking in Megan's voice, a
tear was filling my right eye and I quickly wiped it away. "Hush you. Let me take care of
business." I said aloud back to her trying hold control. Then Lin's cry came again.
'Megannnn, I lov, I love y-," then her head laid back and her body went limp. Then only
then did I feel the tears running down my cheeks. I was loosing control. No, I couldn't
loose control. "You stay in there you pest." I said fighting Megan but then I saw a bright
light shining in front of me and I saw Megan standing there her bright blonde curls glowed
from the light. "NOOOOOOOOO! LIN, NO , YOU WILL NOT CONTROL ME
ANYMORE!." Megan cried with pain.
Oh my Oz. what will happen? Don't you just love cliffhangers. Sorry I did this but I want to build up the suspense.
