Smoke steamed into her face. It created a hissing sound. Beads of sweat slithered down her skin. They stung her eyes at contact. The Doctor was staring into the window. His eyes were far away.
"How can there be that many? I destroyed them all years ago"
"Oh my god Glinda" she said under her breath.
She wished she could say more. But she couldn't think of anything else to say. Words fell so short. Her whole body trembled. Slowly, she began to edge away. She held her hands in front of her. Rock clacked with each step she took. The drums boomed. What would happen to Fiyero? Would Oz and this world be safe? Would Glinda die without ever seeing her again? She tripped and fell down on the stone. A stinging sensation was on her back. She felt liquid trickle down her spine. It was blood. The drumming built up to a rapid beat. At the peak, it stopped.
Elphaba heard a thump shatter the silence. Her head whipped around, looking for an attack. She ran away from the window. Soon after, she prepared to slow down to a stop. Her body slammed into something. What the heck? She raised her eyes from the floor. There was a mouthful of teeth directly in front of her face.
Before her mind reacted to her feet did. They flew under her back the way she came. The krillitane stood in stunned silence processing what had happened. It only lasted for a second. He barreled after her. Urging her feet to move faster, she gained an inch of space. Emmett glanced over his shoulder. His eyes widened when he saw her. He slammed his shoulder against The Doctor. A pair of clawed hands grabbed at the iron bars on the window. With one heave the bars were pulled off. A krillitane crawled in through the opening it created. Emmett looked around 360 degrees. It was useless. They were surrounded on all sides. The Doctor ran towards Elphaba. He fumbled in his coat like he was looking for something. She grimaced. What was he doing in his pockets when they were near death? He pulled out a key.
" Get me power!" he yelled. The krillitanes made a high-pitched screech.
She tried to do some sort of spell. It failed immediately. Taking a gasp, she tried again. It still didn't work. She became feet away from the Doctor. This time, she forgot about all fear in order to focus. A spark cracked, and an orb of light floated in front of her. The Doctor jammed the key inside the orb despite the way his skin singed. The key glowed gold and the Tardis started to materialize around it. She crashed into The Doctor. Then all she could do was stand and hope the key worked before it was too late. The krillitane that was chasing her slashed a claw. The Tardis made loud, low growl. It appeared in front of them. The Doctor's hand turned the handle and shoved the door open. They scrambled in as fast as they could. Elphaba looked behind her. The Doctor slammed the door on a krillitane hand reaching in.
