Chapter 27
Lin's POV
After what seemed like forever Megan pulled me out of her arms and we scooped
up Mom and ran back to her and Elphie's room before anyone noticed. I quickly
closed the door behind me as Megan placed Mom gently on her bed. "Your
Mother, looks so….I don't know naïve looking to me Lin. Like she doesn't have a
care in the world." Megan said with a light giggle but then I felt a quick shot of
pain, and nausea sweep over me. The pain grew and I sank to my knees. "LIN! Oh
sweet lurine. Lin are you okay?" Megan asked completely worried. She was at my
side within a matter of seconds. "No, I think Morrible broke one of my ribs, and
my marks have been hurting whenever something or I touch them." I explain
holding back tears. Megan's expression darkened when I mentioned Morrible. It
was like a mix of regret, and anger. I knew then that she was getting angry with
herself. I could feel her anger. "Hey,' I said softly pulling her face to look at me.
'You didn't do anything so don't start blaming yourself, okay.' She signed and the
regret vanished from her eyes. "Here let's get you up." Megan said sounding
better. She supported me as we walked over to where Mom was lying and I sat
right beside her. Megan was right, when I looked Mom over she did look more
naïve, no vulnerable would be the word. She looked so different than she did back
home. That was when the question hit me. "Hey Meg, how are we going to get
back home?" I turned my head and saw Megan pull out Elphie's spell book. Her
face brighten as she flipped through the pages. "Knowing Elphaba she had to put a
return spell in here.' I smiled at Megan with joy. It felt so good to have her back. I
wonder what will happen when she sees Dimitri again. Oh I hope it is just so
romantic. "Bingo!." Megan said pulling me out of my thoughts. "What?" I asked
sounding dazed. Megan walked over to me with a smal, her index finger on a
specific line. "This is the transport spell right Lin?" She asked sounding proud. She
handed me the book and I couldn't believe it but she was right. "Meg, how did you
know this was it. I mean can you read this?" I asked sounding very curious. I
looked to her and she nodded slowly. "Um, well I cam read a word or two but
that's it." She explained acting like it was no big deal. But then it was a big deal.
Like in Wicked Elphie could read the grimmerie and it's spells, Mom could read it
when she practiced it but not just a normal human, Ozian or guardian could just up
and read it. This subject lingered in my mind until Megan nudged my shoulder,
'Hey Lin, doesn't this spell mean forget?" I grabbed the book back shocked. Ot for
the fact that Elphie put a forgetful spell in it but the fact that Megan actually got
another spell within two minutes. But I had to shake the feeling. Keeping Mom
safe and getting home was more important right now. "Um, yea Meg it is. Hey,
this is just what we need. According to the spell everyone will forget us but Mom
will think it is all just a crazy dream. It's perfect!" I said with happiness. Megan
smiled and hugged me with joy. "It's so good to have my Lin back by my side."
She said putting my blonde curls behind my ear. "Yes, it is. Oh Meg I'm so glad
your back." I said returning the hug. But then I got an idea. "Hey Meg, let me
check something before we do the spells okay." Meg looked at me suspiciously but
nodded. I turned to the back of Elphie's spell book and saw I had one more
memory spell left. My smile grew even wider with anticipation. "Meg, before I left
Elphie left me some spells in here that shows past events, memories of what
happened before I was born. I have seen when Mom and Dad first met, when they
first started Wicked, and at a ball together. Each time I have watched them they
have given me strength. I thought you might want to watch one before we leave.
Besides there is only one left." I explained with a giggle. Megan looked at me with
curiosity filling her eyes. She motioned me to come by at the end of the bed so I
could get the spell started. I know this was kinda weird with Mom out cold and all
but I had to do this. I wanted someone to share this last memory with and who else
but my guardian. I looked down at the spell and felt my self relax more when
Megan put her arm around my shoulders for comfort and support. It felt so good
to have that back. To have my best friend back and that was exactly why I was
doing this right now. To see something about our family together. So without
hesitation I chanted the spell and watched the portal open.
When the portal opened I saw what looked like a nursery but not a normal
nursery. I looked more like Oz than the human world. Then I heard a small baby
cry, "Shh, My Little Lin, it's alright Mama's here." I gasped when I heard Mom
soothing week voice. That was when she came into view. My eye's widened to see
Mom, her hair messy, her face pale, eyes with dark circles under then and a
small bundle in her arms. Even though Mom looked like she had just went
through a lot she still looked at peace when her eyes looked at the bundle. Her
smile was soft and loving. "oh My Linda. I only wish I could hold you forever but
I have to send you with Elphie. It's for the best.." I heard her hold back a sob and
tears but she smiled more when she saw me yawn. "But always remember I Love
you." Then Mom began to sing the most wonderful song I had ever heard.
"Hush now, My baby, be still Love don't cry. Sleep as I sing peacefully.
Even though we won't be together for too long always remember this song.
I will always be there when you sleep, and in your dreams I will sing.
Of how much I love you and care. Then maybe one day this I can say.
Oh my dear Linda, I'm so proud of you. One day I will say it every day.
Everyday I will look into those emerald eyes and feel that I have done well.
But till then My baby sleep well, sleep and think of me…when you dream."
Mom kissed me forehead gently and hugged me close. Then the portal closed.
My hand covered my mouth in shock. That was so beautiful and I it took me a
minute to realize I had mouthed that whole song word for word. "Oh Lin, that was
just amazing." Megan said in amazement pulling me closer in her arms. I looked at
Megan then to Mom who was still out cold lying on the bed. A proud smile formed
on my face. I was so proud at that moment then I had ever been to call her my
mom. She was the best and that was that. "Meg, let's hurry and cast those spells.
I'm ready to see her again." I said sounding proud and happy. Megan nodded and
said, "I don't now about you but I'm ready to see Dimitri so bad it's about to kill
me." She joked putting everything in my bag including the berry juice. As she was
doing this I walked over slowly and looked at Mom young face. She had so much
to learn and even though she would make some and choices it would all work out
in the end. I let my hand rub gently down her cheek. Words could not describe
how much I missed and loved her. And I don't think words could describe how
much she loved me. I leaned down and kissed her forehead. "I love you Mom." I
whispered before Megan came over and helped me over to where she had set our
stuff and I began to chant the spells that was needed to help us get home.
