Here I am spoiling you all with another chapter. *shakes head* Oh well, Im in a writing mood. Enjoy!

Chapter 6

Elphaba's POV

Glinda looked at me motioning me to leave. That she would tell Lin the sad truth cause she saw I couldn't bring myself to. She hugged me, "Go be with your baby girl." She whispered and I nodded. "Get better Lin sweetie." She nodded and I walked out.

I stopped to see that Liir had fallen asleep in his father's arms in the converance room. I smiled, they were too cute. I sat down for a moment and watch them sleep for the longest time when I heard her cry

I quickly stood up when I heard Talley crying. More like screaming to the heavens. I rushed into her and Liiir's room and picked her up gently out if her crib.

"Shh baby it's okay Mommy's here. " but then my eyes saw it. I thought I might burst into tears... No zandra marked her. The sickening Z was there right below her beautiful neck marking.

I felt too many mixture of emotions. I let a boulder come out of the ground and shoot at the wall.

"Zandra your mine.. Oh baby I'm so sorry I couldn't protect you.." I cried softly and held Talley close.

*talley POV *

I hated seeing her this way. Mom's hurt face brought me pain to my heart. I felt a tear fall why was I so careless I shouldn't have gotten so close to her. I heard a soft snicker and turned around. I gasped no it couldn't be.

There behind me was...me but covered in darkness. It smirked at me and now it all made sense what that witch had said.

"You'll make a fine addition...I was hers"

no...

Lin's POV

Once Elphie left mom had sat down beside me and played with my hair. She was hiding something or avoiding something I wasn't sure. She pulled me close moving her hand to my hand marks and tracing them.

"Mom, what is it? What happened." I sighed when I saw the long mark across her neck where the dark magic had tried to strangle her. She looked up at me for the first time.

"Baby, you cant be near Daken…..That magic well, it was a spell that where.."

"WHAT!" Tears immediately filled my eyes and she held me close. I didn't understand. Why couldn't I be near the love of my life.

"The magic that hit you where you are light and Daken is dark. Everytime he gets near you will be in pain and misery. He could..he could kill you baby and none of us are taking that chance. He knows to stay away."

I cried so loudly. Not caring if anyone heard me. I couldn't get near him, no I cant be. Mom began to hum softly, a song Elphie had written. Brave, it was one of my favorites. And as much as I cried and fought my eyes slowly closed from my body being so weak. Only one thing was on my tired mind.

Daken…

Glinda's POV

I sat there, feeling my own tears come for my baby. I know the feeling of being away from the person you loved. The years without Norbert or Lin made me feel like breaking. I couldn't put my baby girl through this. There had to be a way.

I placed my hand on her heart and whispered softly to myself. Slowly a bit of air flowed up Lin's body and her marks glowed. I closed my eyes.

"With this spell, let my daughter and her love be one in mind, and spirit, let their dreams intertwine. So they touch and be whole."
