No he wouldn't, he couldn't hurt Elphaba. How did Morrible expect to do this?
"And what makes you think I will do it? What will happen if I don't? You'll kill me? Then go ahead, kill me! It would be better!" Morrible smirked.
"Well, trust me we thought about that. We aren't as brainless as you." She looked towards the two guards that where standing behind her. "So, we thought "what could we threaten him with?" Let me tell you, it wasn't that hard of a question to answer"
"Just spit it out!" Fiyero snapped. Morrible seemed satisfied that she was getting to him.
"Patience, Captain Tiggular. Patience." Fiyero gave her a death glare and she pretended not to notice. "We realized that we couldn't threaten your darling Elphaba" The guards looked at each other, never before had they heard the witch's name. "So we picked the next best thing. That adorable little baby. What was his name? Liir?" Fiyero's hands balled into fists and he felt himself almost shaking with anger.
"You would really hurt an innocent child like that? You are vile and cruel, but who knew you could sink that low?" he asked through clenched teeth. Morrible rolled her eyes at him.
"Yes I am many things, Captain and I am not above hurting children." Fiyero felt something snap inside of him.
"You bitch! I can't believe even you would do something like that! Who the hell do you think you are? Treating the lives of innocent people, none the less children! You
Morrible cut him off there.
"It's your choice: become the Captain of the Wizard's Gale Force again, or have your little Liir die." Fiyero looked down at his old uniform and frowned.
"Alright." He said his tone angry but accepting at the same time. Morrible smiled her fake sweet smile. The one she put on when he used to go to Shiz.
"Thatta boy." She turned to the guards. "Free him and leave him alone. He has a uniform to change into." She watched as the guards cut Fiyero free of the ropes. Fiyero stood up and put a hand to his head, it was obvious he was still recovering from what the guards did to him all those months ago. It seemed so far away now but the effects still lingered.
He still felt the pain. He pushed his blonde hair back trying to ignore the fact that he had a giant headache and that it was obvious he was running a fever. Morrible trailed behind the guards as they left the room
"Hey!" Fiyero called after her, she spun around fast "How-How can-" it was obvious he was referring to how he could walk again.
"Let's just say, I have been working on my magic." She left it at that as she walked out and shut the door hard behind her. Fiyero picked up his old uniform and laid it on the chair he was just sitting in moments ago. He just stared at it. The gold pieces of his jacket reflected off what little light the room had. He touched the fabric of the green sleeve. It was an ugly green, compared to the beautiful emerald color of his Elphaba. He
Remembered that he was still only in his plaid sweatpants. He took the tan short sleeve shirt and put it over his head. He hated the feeling of it against his skin, it gave back memories more bad then good. He took off his sweatpants and exchanged them with the green and gold striped ones. He put the suspenders over his shoulders and sighed, it felt like he was almost the captain of the Gale Force, again. No, he was the captain of the gale force again. He looked down at his jacket and shut his eyes tightly.
"I'm sorry, Elphaba" he whispered as he lifted it off the chair and put his arms in the sleeves. He buttoned up the green and gold jacket and ran his hand over it straightening it out. "I'm so sorry" he whispered again as he headed for the door. It was unlocked, he just opened it and light poured into the once dark room. Morrible was the first one to greet him.
"The rest of the Gale Force is in the meeting room, waiting for you to start." Fiyero didn't say anything. He walked right past her and began heading towards the meeting room, he had almost forgotten where it was. He wondered what he was going to say to them. They would, without a doubt, be angry at him. He brushed away the thought; Morrible probably said something to them. He was almost there when he stopped and looked at his reflection in a mirror handing from the wall. He really did look like the same Dancing Through-Life Fiyero. The only difference was the scar above his right eyebrow and the other scar running down his left jaw line that reached almost all the way to his chin. He couldn't even imagine what he looked like right after he got beaten. He knew there here many other scars underneath his uniform but he really didn't look too much different then when he went to Shiz. Still the same short blonde hair and blue eyes. Still the same nose and mouth, but he knew he was much different on the inside. He had changed so much, thanks to Elphaba. And he wouldn't want it any other way. He soon remembered what he was doing when he headed into the room. He was faced by at least two dozen guards that all fell dead silent and took their seats as Fiyero walked in. Fiyero looked around the room and recognized almost everyone except for maybe two new guards. There, sitting right at the table was Jakin, his dark brown eyes in shock as they caught a glimpse of Fiyero. Morrible said he was returning as captain but he didn't believe it. But there he was, standing right there in the one and only captain's uniform was Prince Fiyero Tiggular. But why? Was it possible Morrible was forcing him? Jakin knew Fiyero would rather die, so why was he doing this? Jakin met Fiyero's eyes and what was it he saw in them? Regret? Pain? Fiyero soon turned and looked at the rest of the force. All of them sitting on either side of that wooden rectangular table with Fiyero standing right at the end of it with the scribbled on map of Oz behind him.
"What do we have so far?" he asked. It was obvious he was in pain but he was attempting to ignore it. The guards all looked at each other and it was clear to Fiyero that they had nothing. Fiyero groaned and ran a hand threw his hair turning his head to look at the large map behind him. "So I'm guessing nothing." Again, no answer for the guards. Fiyero let out an annoyed sigh; they where never the brightest people on Oz. Then again, neither was he. The meeting was soon over and before Jakin could get to Fiyero he was gone.
Jakin had to go tell Elphaba and Glinda what was going on and fast. He ran to the train station and paid for the ticket and got on the train. He sat down and looked out the window at the dark sky; he hadn't realized how long the meeting had been. The whole time Fiyero seemed like he really did want to catch Elphaba, like he was before all of this. Jakin was pleased when at the end they all came up with nothing. Before long the train came to a stop. Jakin got off and looked around, he could see the hospital in the distance. He ran all the way to it and walked right up to the front desk
"Do you know where I could find an Elphaba Thropp?" he asked still trying to catch his breath. The old nurse looked at the computer and typed something in not even answering Jakin.
"Umm yes, for some reason we have her here." She looked some more. "Oh, yes she was just admitted before for having a child. She is living at 135 Vicarian drive." Jakin smiled.
"Thank you miss," he said politely and darted out of the hospital. He looked at the street signs and one said Vicarian drive was just around the corner. He walked down the street and finally saw 135 on a one house. He ran up to it and knocked. Glinda came to the door.
"Yes? Oh Jakin! Come in," she opened the door wider for Jakin to walk inside. He didn't beat around the bush
"Glinda where's Elphaba? I need to tell her something about Fiyero." Glinda looked down.
"Jakin we already know. The Gale Force came here yesterday and took him. We know he's dead," she told him trying to contain her tears. Jakin shook his head.
"No, Glinda! He's alive but I have to talk to Elphaba. Okay?" Glinda looked up and he saw her eyes light up but she didn't say anything. She led him to the nursery where
Elphaba was putting Liir to sleep for the night. Glinda opened the door slowly and saw Elphaba looking down at her son sleeping peacefully in his crib.
"Elphaba, Jakin is here and he needs to talk to you." She whispered hoping not to wake Liir. Elphaba walked outside and sat on the couch. Jakin sat down next to her.
"Elphaba I have to tell you something about Fiyero, but even I don't have many answers.
"Jakin could see the pain in Elphaba's eye as he said Fiyero's name. Elphaba nodded bracing her self to hear those words, the words she had been trying to avoid since he got taken away. He's dead.
"Fiyero is alive." Elphaba looked up, speechless, so Jakin went on. "I know he is. Today, he walked into the Gale Force meeting room." He took a deep breath for what he was about to break to Elphaba "He was wearing his old Captain uniform" Elphaba's jaw nearly dropped but she didn't say anything. "Elphaba, he's the Captain of the Gale Force again. He's looking for you, and to actually capture you this time."
