Elphaba's eyes widened, wait. Love. She felt herself shudder, she looked up to Fiyero, now her and the word love didn't fit in the same sentence unless the word 'don't' was involved.

She stepped back, trembling slightly "I have to go" she stuttered and turned to run but was stopped by a very angry Boq and Nessa.

Boq's arms were crossed and shooting angry glares at her. "Elphaba I know I'm your best friend but Galinda is my friend too and I don't appreciate you back stabbing Galinda behind her back" before Boq could finish or Elphaba could say anything Nessa cut in "ELPHABA!! My fellow sister, you should know that cheating is a sin, father will be ashamed you know what I think, I will write to father now" with that said Nessa and Boq walked off.

Elphaba felt arms round her, she gasped, "Elphaba I love you, please I will split up with Galinda" he said pleading. Elphaba shrugged him off and turned to face him "Fiyero no your just lying to yourself, you and Galinda…" she struggled to finishes, she took a deep breath "you and Galinda… deserve each other" she spat the last three words and bolted, when she had reached outside she stopped for breath, she was ashamed of herself. Boq and Nessa were angry but what she didn't know was nor Boq, Nessa or Galinda was her problem, the problem was Avaric.

Lurking in the shadows Avaric appeared silently behind to Elphaba who was not aware of the going's on behind her. She felt arms around her waste pulling closer to the beings body, she sighed angrily "Fiyero I said –" but before she could finish, a cold clammy hand was placed over her mouth, she started panicking, deep breathing.

Was it her blurry vision because the lack of oxygen going into her lungs or was a man coming up to her, she tried struggling what scared her the most was that the man had a knife.

Fiyero sighed he turned to his girl who had been chatting up the Waiter for an hour, he glared at the man, why was Boq and Nessa angry at Elphaba and him, Elphaba would probable ignore him for the rest of his miserable life, he gave a final look at his bubble Girlfriend and left.

His mind was full of thoughts but suddenly his thoughts were interrupted by a loud scream, he gasped from shock then he herd the same scream again. Wait that scream sounded familiar, shit it was Elphaba's scream, he cursed under his breath and picked up his pace when he found were Elphaba's screaming had come from he wanted to vomit from what he was seeing.

Fiyero looked round to check no one had followed him and he crouched next to her "Elphie are you ok" he asked, she groaned in pain, her dress had been torn his thoughts turned to the worst.

"Elphaba" he asked again but her eyes were shut his body went limp when he felt hands on his neck he felt his body jolting from the force on his neck. His vision was hazy and he was close to fainting he used the last bit of strength to move his arm back to elbow the attacker. It had worked he turned to the attacker ready to beat the crap out of the attacker but before he could even move he felt a pain greater than no other, he looked down and felt blood trickle down his skin a knife was sticking out of his stomach The attacker smirked, Fiyero went to punch him but the attacker disappeared.
