Chapter 29

Lin's POV

The emerald lights were dazzling in the portal me and Megan had took to get home. My

stomach turned in anxiety when the dream Elphie had sent came back to my mind. The

warning she had told me about Mom. That she was given a higher level of that sick potion

than Jen. It made me skin crawl just thinking about it. "Lin, don't worry Glin will make it

she always does." Megan said in my head when she gripped my hand tightly with hers. I

would have smiled at her but we began to go faster and the lights went by us so quick that

we were blurry. "Here we go Meg." I thought back and gripped her hand tighter. I closed

my eyes when suddenly I felt the ground and my body make contact. "Ouch!" I hollered in

pain. Seriously what part of broken rib does anything understand. "LIN! MEGAN! You

guys are back. OH THANK OZ!" I didn't have time to get fully on my feet maybe to my

knees before Elphie ,Jen, and Nessa's arms were around me. Hurting my rib but I had to

hold it back because I had missed them too. I let me arms come around them with joy.

"Elphie, Jen, Nessa I missed you" I managed to say through the pain. I opened my eyes

finally when they let me go and I realized I already had tears in them. Elphie , Jen and

Nessa's faces were filled with happiness as they looked at me. Elphie quickly took a green

thumb and wiped my tear away. Then there eyes went to Megan. It was maybe a second

later that they both were around Megan. "We thought we lost you." Nessa said and then

Jen continued. "We missed you Meg." Jen said with relief and Elphie finished, "So much."

Megan held them tight with great joy. "Oh I missed you guys too, more than you could

ever know. But where's Dimitri?' she asked noticing he wasn't in the room. Jen smirked

and began to explain, "He's in the library with Fiyero but they should be back any second

I'm sure." "Lin?" I looked from Elphie , Jen and Nessa to see Dad. His eyes looked tired

and filled with worry. But still I couldn't help but smile and run into his arms despite the

pain in my ribs. His scent brought comfort and love to my heart. "Oh My Linda, thank Oz

your alright, and you to Meg. Glad you two are both back safe and sound." Dad said with

relief and joy. But when he hugged me tighter a couldn't hold back the small yealp of pain

that had escaped my lips. He face turned to concern when my hand went to my hurt rib

and the cloth of Mom's night gown that covered it. "Lin, what's wrong?" Dad asked

pulling me out of his arms to face him. I let out a breathe trying to hold back the shots of

pain going up my spine. "Norbert, Morrible kinda broke one of her ribs. I checked it when

she got me back but I didn't know what to do until we got back. So I took some of the

pain from her but I guess I lost concentration there for minute. I'm sorry here let me."

"No Meg, you have been through enough. Elphaba please can you help Lin." Dad asked

sounding nervous. But all of this warm reunion and the focus on my rib was gone when

Mom yelled in agony from the bed. "MOM!" I yelled running to her side, grasping my rib

so the pain dimmed a bit. Mom grabbed her stomach and yelled again. "ELPHIE, what's

wrong with her?" I asked sounding very scared. Jen, Nessa, Meg and Elphie were all at

my side and Dad had ran to the to other to pull Mom into his arms. Elphie's face went into

panic "Oh No, the potion it's going into full effect." Elphie explained touching Mom's

forehead to check and see if she had a fever. Meg's hand was on my shoulder for comfort.

I could feel some of my worry just vanish but I knew this was something I couldn't let

happen. Mom can't die, she just couldn't. "What can we do?" I asked quickly when Mom

screamed again. "Only something pure of the Uplands can save her Lin. But I don't know

what that is." Elphie explained sounding so powerless. That was when an idea clicked in

my head and Mom's words repeated in my head. "It's Gillikin Berry Juice, made from the

purest berries in the Uplands." In that moment I rushed from Mom's side and to my bag

that was lying on the floor. "Lin, what are you doing?" Dad asked nervously. I pulled out

the berry juice and ran back to Mom's side. "You'll see." I breathed yanking the top off of

the bottle. I let my free hand gently lift Mom's head up a little and brought the bottle to

her pale lips. "Here drink this Mom. Please it's our only hope." I begged and finally the

stuff fell down Mom's throat easily and she instantly stopped screaming. There was along

pause and all you could hear was my hard breathing. I let my hand hold Mom's limp hand

in hope. "Come on Mom. Your strong this has to work. I can't live without you." I said

holding back the lump in my throat. Then I gasped when I felt Mom's grip tighten around

my hand. "Mom?" I breathed impatiently. Finally after what seemed like forever Mom's

eye's fluttered open and I could see the color rushing back to her face. "Lin?" she moaned

but I could tell her voice was getting stronger. "Yes Mom it's me. I'm here." I said with

hope. Then a smile grew on Mom's face. "The pain is gone my darling. I'm well." Mom

said with joy. Everyone started to cheer with joy and happiness. Mom's arms went around

my neck and I could tell her strength was coming back as well. "You did it my darling. I

knew you could." she whispered in my ear happily. I don't think I could describe how

good it felt to hear her say those words. It was like music to my ears. "Okay, my turn."

Dad said yanking Mom away from me and pulling her into the most passionate kiss I had

ever seen them do. "Nor," she breathed in between the kisses as Dad cupped her chin.

Then I heard the door swing open and I looked to see Fiyero and Dimitri walk in.

"Fiyero!" I said with happiness waving at him. "Lin, your back." he said running over to

me and giving me a hug. "I'm so glad your safe squirt." he joked. I giggled back but then I

heard Dimitri speak, "Megan, is it really you?" I turned to see Dimitri and Megan starring

at each other. Their faces both in shock but the good kind. "Yes Dimitri, it's me." she said

before running into his arms. I swear when I saw this happen I thought I was about to cry.

It was the sweetest well one of the many sweetest moments I had ever seen. Dimitri

cupped Megan jaw looking deep into her eyes as he said, "I missed you My Love." Megan

smiled and said, "I missed you too." then finally tear lips met, Megan's arms went around

his neck and his went to waist. They looked too perfect for words. I took a step back to

admire this scene that was before me. Nessa, Elphie and Jen all getting their turns at

hugging Mom. Fiyero smiling proudly at this patiently waiting his turn. Dad smiling

happily knowing his family was still together and last but not least Megan and Dimitri still

kissing like they had not seen each other is generations. It was all too perfect and

wonderful to believe. I had helped make this happen. I had saved my family. But then I

gasped when I felt a burning pain come from wrists and tops of my hand. The burning

increased and I couldn't hold back a scream of pain. I gripped my hands together hoping

that the burning would stop. I fell to the ground hard, yelling as tears ran down my

cheeks. "LIN!" Mom and Megan yelled at the same time rushing to my side. I felt Mom's

warm hand on my cheek. "Lin, My darling what's wrong?" She asked in a complete

panicked high pitch voice.

"My hands and wrist feel like they are on fire, they are burning!." I yelled trying to hold

back another sob.
