A claw lashed at her face. Jumping back, she failed dodge it. Sweat dripped down her body. It felt stingy in her eyes. Making sure her balance is intact; she roundhouse kicked him below the ribs. Her arms whirled with her leg to create momentum. Like it didn't hit him, he sprung back up. Closing her eyes, she concentrated on the energy inside her being. She chanted ancient words under her breath and channeled it out her body. A flare of green light struck the krillitane' s shoulder.
Staggering back, he took the impact. For a minute she froze, still in her trance of magic. The memory of the danger she was in jolted back to her. Her legs flew underneath her. Pursing her lips, she gathered up an extra surge of speed and burst through the doorframe next to Emmett and The Doctor. She slammed the door shut . And she shuffled onwards. Heat touched her when she brushed against Emmett's wound. He winced and grumbled something about the "crazy Scotsman and mutant girl". She glared at him. Mumbling a vague apology, her eyes scanned the antechamber. It was the same as the rest of the caverns. Narrow, dark, and made of brick. Except the walls were studded with cone-shaped spikes.
Eyes wide, she approached the nearest one. Her finger hovered inches away." What are they?" she said in a breathy voice.
Emmett's eyes narrowed." The spikes are for defense. I saw a lot of them when they hustled me in. Also, they can store oil in them. See the green stuff dripping out?" he said, gesturing to the goo dribbling down the spikes.
"Great, a two weapons in one combo pack" she said. She rolled her eyes and crossed her arms across her chest.
"Yup" Emmett replied.
"So do we just avoid them?" Elphaba said.
"I think that's our best bet of survival" The Doctor her lips, she pictured herself weaving between the spikes. Making it through would be easy. All they would have to do is be slow. When they came back it could be almost impossible. If guards dropped in they would be , The Doctor volunteered and Emmett had no choice. But two people could die because of her.
Back in Oz she had seen many traps. Most nearly killed her. Others could be spotted. She doubted the krillitanes would set one that was easy to avoid. Would the krillitanes be too occupied organizing their army to chase her group? She bit her lip so hard it bled. But was saving Fiyero more important than two other lives? For all she knew he could already be dead. They would walk into the cell and find his body on the dirt. She tensed her body. Because The Doctor was delayed in stopping the krillitanes more people could die. Her sister, Doctor Dillamond, and her father died because of her. She clenched her teeth until her mouth felt them being crushed. A big reason she had left Oz was so she couldn't hurt anybody else. Glinda was the only person she loved left unhurt.
