Chapter 26

The smell of the fall Munchkinland air brought a sense of freedom to the trio as they walked past the border between Eastern Uplands and Northern Munchkinland. In many ways they were exhausted longing to be home and rest. But the importance of finding the points or buildings of magic was far to greater, than resting.

Lucy knew in her heart that she would want to know more about her father. Rob Andrew Guest was her father. The only father figure she thought of in her mind, when she was in Wicked was truly her father. And yet he never said a word to her, not said a mention of it at all. Maybe he had a good reason. But..how could he not.

Did he not love her? She had to know. But right now it was Oz that needed her more than her own selfish needs.

"Luce…" Lucy looked up at Lin, noticing the concern in her eyes, Peter holding her hand in a comforting way. Lucy knew Lin could just tell what she was thinking.

"You've done so much….For once will you do what is best for you…Go back to your mother. Find your father . I know its killing you" Lin said it as if she was being heartbroken just watching Lucy force herself to stay in oz. But in her heart she felt the tug that it wasn't her time to leave.

"I'm sorry I can't I have a job here before I go back" Lin still did not fully understand why Lucy stayed with her. But then in a way it all made sense. Amanda was Lucy's best friend and Amanda had been there through everything for Lucy.

Lucy wanted to return the favor to Amanda. She couldn't leave her friend behind. Which only made the young witch have even more respect towards the Australian good witch.

"Come on darling we are almost there…I know you feel it. Your trembling" Peter said softly to Lin who looked so pale and frail. Her small frame shook, the magic growing stronger within her as the markings that covered more of her face, hands, and neck began to glow of the finest bright light.

Lin did feel the magic but where was it coming from? There wasn't much around them. That was the bad part of Munchkinland. Beside Qualding, Munchkinland was the most dense land in all of oz. The young witch had no idea how to make her way to the place that made her marks tingle more than ever. She had no idea where she was. Also she was still weak from shooting Zandra, and her minions.

Peter knew this and hoped his girl could make it. He had seen his mother faint and be out for days from use of too much magic. He couldn't bare to see it happen to his love. He placed his hands on her shoulders trying to help her

'Close your eyes and guide us love. I know you can do it"

Lin felt her confidence rise, just being able to have Peter's touch again made her feel better. Giving her hope and light. That's when it happened. She felt the light flowing through her as she closed her eyes. The magic leading the way for her.

"I know where…" Lin whispered leading Peter and Lucy through the field, and onto an old winding road.

"Here.." the young witch opened her eyes seeing the giant manor that laid infront of them. Peter's eyes grew wide.

"The governer's old house….This house was…"

"Elphaba's.." Lin finished his sentence just as shocked as he was. The three quietly walked up to the door that was covered in overgrown vines, and memories, horrid memories for both Witches West and East.

"I don't think anyone would live here no-"

"MAMA! I hear someone at the door!' the three were shocked to hear a young girl's voice come from inside. This wasn't right. No one had lived here for quite some time now. Or did they?

Just then the door swung open to reveal a small brown chestnut eyed girl. Her thumb stuck in her mouth, eyes wide.

"Elina I told you not to open the-" it was then Linda's heart stopped for a second. That voice..No it couldn't be. After so long. And yet there she was standing at the door beside the little girl.

"Lin..Lucy…" Nessarose Thropp, Wicked Witch of the East stood there grinning but also shocked as much as they were. Linda's eyes immedatily filled with tears as she hugged Nessa so tight.

"Oh Nessa….its you!" for a moment Nessa was speechless. Shocked that both Lin and Lucy found her. She has been in hiding for a good reason. But finally she hugged Lin back as tight as she could.

'Lin I missed you! Hurry come in you have to see Rye I know he has missed you all."

Lin's heart was warm with happiness. Not only had she found where the first spot was, but also found a piece of her family she thought she had lost.

But to Lucy the pain for her family's love only grew.

Daniel's POV

I held Arya close as she cried. Her mother had been avoiding her all day and night. I hated seeing her so miserable…why had I asked. Maybe I had asked too soon? Or maybe I didn't deserve her. She was so much more of a better person than I was.

"Daniel…I wish ..I wish she would be happy for me. I miss my Daddy he would have helped you and me…" That's when I began thinking. What if I proved I cared that much about Arya and her happiness. Along with her family.

"I know love…maybe..Arya what do you know about your father?" I asked the question so quickly that she looked at me like she was blown away.

"I..I don't know…" This only made me think more, as a plan began to form in my head.

"Arya we are going to the records and we are going to find something of your Father's to prove to your mother I care about you and her more than anything. And I am completely serious about giving my heart to you" the smile I adored came across her face, tears slowly vanished.

"Oh Daniel" I kissed her deeply. Before leading her towards the library.

"Come on we have a lot of work to do."
