Fiyero woke up realizing he was sitting in a chair with his arms and legs strapped to it. He pulled on the ropes but they were thick and tied extremely tight. He stopped for a second…could he move his legs? He looked down and moved them again against the rope that was tightly tied to them. How was the possible? He looked around the room and saw that he was the only one in there. The lights where dim and there were no windows, just four cement walls and a door. He struggled with the ropes again, still baffled that he was able to move his legs. How long had he been here? He remembered the Gale Force coming in and knocking him out. "Elphaba" he whispered. Where was she? He prayed to the Unnamed God that she was okay, as well as Liir. He began thinking about the happy baby. Only two days old and already so much has happened to him, he wouldn't have a father. Fiyero knew he was going to die, but the thing that rattled in his head was why was he not dead yet? His question seemed to be answered when two Gale Forcers came in with Morrible trailing close behind them. They shut the door with a loud bang and just stood there, staring at Fiyero. "What?" he exclaimed ready to get this over with. The two guards looked at Morrible and she nodded and stepped forward.
"Oh Prince Tiggular, did you really expect to get away with this?" She asked him with a sick smile on her face. Fiyero didn't meet her eyes, he didn't answer. He wouldn't give her the satisfaction. She just went on. "Now I suppose you are wondering why we haven't killed you yet as well as why you can now walk." Fiyero finally looked at her cold eyes. "It's because we aren't going to kill you" She smiled again. Fiyero's blue eyes widened. They weren't going to kill him? Then what was going on?
"What do you mean?" Fiyero asked. Morrible looked at the guards who nodded and grabbed something from the corner of the room. They came back and threw Fiyero's old Captain of the Gale Force uniform at his feet. Fiyero raised his eye brows. What in Oz was going on? Morrible looked at him with that stupid fake smile on her face. She paced in front of him.
"You see, we were discussing the fact you deserve a fate worse than death. So we thought, what could be worse then death itself?" she stopped pacing and looked Fiyero dead in the eye. "Hurting the ones you love." Fiyero looked down at his old uniform. No.
"You wouldn't dare" he hissed. Morrible laughed.
"Oh I would. Welcome back Captain Tiggular."
Elphaba has been in her room all night not even to come out for food. Glinda was beginning to worry as Liir stirred in her arms, sleeping as usual. She walked to Elphaba's room and knocked lightly. "Elphie…" No answer. "Elphie please either you come out or I'll come in." Again she heard no reply. She opened the door slowly to reveal Elphaba sitting on her bed with her knees brought u to her chest, crying into her knees. Glinda slowly sat down next to Elphaba, still holding Liir. "Oh Elphie, everything is going to be okay." Glinda told her friend in a calm voice. Elphaba looked up at her.
"Glinda he's going to die." she said with no emotion in her voice. Glinda looked down at the child she was holding. "At least hold Liir. He's been wanting you." Elphaba took the child and smiled for the first time since Fiyero was taken. Glinda slipped out of the room leaving Elphaba alone with her son. Elphaba looked down at Liir and held him close to her. "I love you." she whispered and kissed Liir's blonde head. He was the only thing she had left of Fiyero. Liir opened his bright blue eyes to Elphaba. Those eyes. Just one of the things she missed about Fiyero. It was like you could see everything he was feeling just by looking at them. She held Liir close again as he started to cry. She started thinking. Was she really cut out to be a mother? Fiyero always reassured her when she thought she couldn't be, but could she do it without him? She decided to push that thought out of her mind as Liir started to calm down. She kept trying to convince herself that everything was going to be fine. He isn't going to die, he is fine, and he's not going to die. She kept repeating to herself. She looked into her son's eyes again as if they were a passage way to Fiyero. "Please don't die."
