Sorry for not uploading. I have had a lot to do, but I got really inspired to continue this when I saw Wicked for the first time in London. It was great, so here is a new chapter.
Reflections of a Lost Time Chapter 11
Elphaba and Galinda went downstairs to see if their guest was there but all they found was Fiyero and Nessarose playing cards. Nessarose was winning.
"Yero, have you seen our guest?" Elphaba asked her husband.
"I think she went to her room, Fae" he answered.
Nessarose looked at her mother: "Mum, she has a name you know."
"I know Darling," Elphaba responded. Nessarose looked back to the card game and Elphaba and Galinda went upstairs to find knocked at the door and waited for the blonde girl to open.
The door opened and Aelphaba stood in the doorway looking a little confused.
"Can we come in?" Galinda asked.
"Sure," Aelphaba said. Then she let them in and closed the door behind them.
"What do you think of the room?" Elphaba asked.
"It's fine, m'am." Aelphaba answered.
"Please drop the titles," Elphaba said. Aelphaba nodded.
"Is there anything you want or need?" Galinda asked.
"Yes, I would like to know exactly how I ended up here and why the most feared person in Oz is sitting here," Aelphaba said.
"You really want to know," Elphaba asked dryly.
"Yes," Aelphaba answered.
"Okay," Elphaba said. "You were at Kellswater with some other people, which I presume and hope you know, when a wolf stepped out in front of your horses. You all panicked and your friends fled, you on the other hand fell off your horse and hit your head and fainted. The wolf's in Imra's pack brought you here, you are lucky if they hadn't you probably wouldn't have survived.
"I was rescued by wolfs," Aelphaba couldn't believe what she was hearing
"Yes, they aren't beasts and Imra's pack isn't human hostile," Elphaba said.
"And my second question?" Aelphaba said.
"You are really are pushing it aren't you," Elphaba asked amused. The blonde girl nodded.
"Fine I will give you parts of the story." Elphaba said. " I was born 34 years ago in Munchkinland. My father was unionist minister and my mother was the granddaughter of the current Eminent Thropp. I was born green and let's just say that I wasn't what they had awaited.
When I was 17, I went university where I met Madame Morrible, she noticed that I had a talent for magic and told me that if worked hard I could meet the after a while I was granted an audience with his Ozness. I arrived in the Emerald City and I was walking on clouds. I was rapidly pulled down from those clouds when I realised that the Wizard was a fraud, he only needed my powers because he had none of his own. He also made me put a hex on a group of defenceless monkeys. They developed wings. So I broke out of the castle and fled with the Gale Force chasing me.I never looked back, I ended up here because Fiyero is the prince of Vinkus and Kiamo Ko is his own. Right now I am one of the most prominent leaders of the resistance."
The two girls sat with amazement in their faces. Aelphaba also looked as if she was unsure on what to believe.
"This probably sound like some made up story to you," Elphaba said. "You have been told through your entire childhood that I am the most wicked being alive, am I right."
Aelphaba nodded.
"I don't really care what you decide to belive, but I don't like being judged and you will be stuck here for a while so you will have to deal with it." Elphaba turned, went out the door and up the stairs. She took a turn and came into her tower. She picked up her broom and went over to the window, and then she started to calm down and put the broom back.
She sat down at her desk and carefully opened the bottom drawer. There was a pile of old letters. These were all the letters she had received from Glinda when they were on breaks from school and she had been forced to stay at home with Frex and Nessa. There were also a bunch of small notes that the roommates had left in the room when they went to class and had to tell each other something.
All this talk about who she was had made her think about Glinda and those happy days at Shiz. Usually she was able to keep it out of her head but this girl, Aelphaba just reminded her of her purky, blonde best friend too much. She put the letters back in the drawers and closed it. She rose and went down the stairs to talk to Fiyero.
This was a short chapter but review and you will perhaps get another chapter soon :)
