Reflections of a Lost Time Chapter 2
Okay so this is my first fan fiction so it will not be good. About the last chapter it was a start I hope you will find the following chapters more interesting. Thanks to Jacqueline Prince for your review I'll do the beta reader thing when I can. I haven't been a member for a month yet. Just try to keep apart Aelphaba and Elphaba because I will change point of view a lot and it is the same problem with Glinda and Galinda.
Elphaba sat in her tower reading when her youngest daughter came running up the stairs. The young girl had her father's light brown hair and her mother's dark eyes. Nessarose had been born five years after Elphaba and Fiyero had left the Emerald City. After she had escaped from the Wizard, Horrible Morrible and the Gale Force. Nessarose was only ten years and was the one that filled Kiamo Ko with laughter. Nessarose's four years older sister Galinda was a copy of their mother. Down to everything accept the green skin she was like Elphaba. She was already helping Elphaba in taking care of the hurt Animals around the castle. Elphaba turned to the girl that stood in the entrance panting for air.
"Dad said that you must come down right away, Imra's pack has arrived with a fainted girl. A human girl," Nessarose said excited. Elphaba quickly rose from her chair and ran past her daughter and down the stairs. She stopped in front of the door to her sick room and was just about to open when Fiyero came out. He closed the door behind him and tuned to Elphaba.
"Fae, don't get upset as you go in there but the young girl looks a bit like Glinda," he said holding Elphaba's arm in a tight grip. Elphaba looked surprised at her husband.
"Yero, I wont get all stressed up only because someone looks similar to Glinda" Elphaba said calmly. And that girl needs my help and I am going to give it to her so please let go of my arm. Fiyero looked in his wife's face for any signs that could tell him how she felt. He then let go of her arm and Elphaba went passed him and into the room. On the bed lay a young girl with long curly blonde hair. She looked alike she was around the same age as her own daughter who was sitting at the side of the bed reading. But the thing that struck Elphaba was that the young girl's face was so similar Glinda's face. But it couldn't be Glinda's daughter could it. No, she had sources in the opposition in the Emerald City who would have told her if Glinda had a daughter. She pushed away the thoughts and started to examine the girl. She then asked her daughter to help her get the girl under the bedspread.
"Galinda, I am going to talk to Imra so can you stay here and make sure that nothing happens" Elphaba asked her daughter.
"Sure," Galinda responded and sat down on the chair again. Elphaba went out the door and walked down the hallway and down the stairs and to the left and came to the castle gate. She pushed it open and went out in the fresh air. In front of her lay the wolf pack. There were over forty wolfs counting the puppies. Elphaba went over to a beautiful grey wolf that lay closest to her. Imra was the alpha-female and a good friend of Elphaba's.
"Hello Imra," Elphaba greeted the wolf.
"Elphaba, nice to see you again."
Elphaba sat down in the grass.
"Imra what really happened with the girl" Elphaba asked?
"She fell of a horse when that stupid animal panicked when Diren got in its way".
"She wasn't with somebody," Elphaba asked.
"There were according to Diren six of them but when he got in the way they all fled,"
"They left her there alone," Elphaba asked surprised?
"Yes, they weren't very loyal, but most humans aren't," Imra said. Elphaba just nodded absorbed by her own thoughts.
"Imra, can you by any chance spare a couple of your pack to make sure nobody followed you here," Elphaba asked. Imra nodded and turned to two of the younger wolfs and nodded. They rose and sat of into the forest. Elphaba then thanked Imra and the pack and promised to keep them informed. She saw the pack rise from their places and run into the forest before turning and going in side again. She went to the sick room and saw Galinda sitting on the chair reading.
"Darling, I can switch places with you now because I think your father has dinner ready," Elphaba said. Galinda rose from her chair and hugged her mother on her way out the door. Elphaba looked over at the sleeping girl. She looked peaceful. Elphaba picked up the book her daughter had left and sat down and started reading. About half an hour later Fiyero opened the door to check in on her.
"Hey," he whispered. Elphaba smiled and waved at him. He came into the room and closed the door behind him. He was carrying a plate with food on it. He gave it to Elphaba who started eating right away.
"How is she, Fae," he asked concerned? Elphaba swallowed before answering.
"She seems to be getting better".
"Well I hope she wakes up soon, but be careful. We don't know who she is or where she came from," Fiyero warned her.
"I know Yero," Elphaba answered fiercly, used to these kind of comments.
"Sorry I am just worried. Elphaba softened and said: "I know Yero, I know". He kissed her and went out the door. Elphaba took a blanket from the bed and prepared herself for a long night.
Hope you like it. Not as long as the previous chapter but I hope the next chapter will be longer
