"Help us! Please! Help!" bellowed Galinda jumping out f the carriage and running towards the ER.A young male doctor came out from the doors of the ER.

"What's wrong, ma'am?" asked the doctor with a soft calm voice.

"Help please" cried Galinda

"Are you hurt? Let me help you" stressed the Doctor

"No…it's not me…its Elphie- she's hurt"

"Where is she? "

"She's in here!" came Fiyero's voice.

Both Galinda and the Doctor ran over to the carriage.

"I- I can't move her she's in pain, I don't want to hurt her any further" Stressed Fiyero.

The Young Doctor could see Fiyero was panicking. "Fiyero is it?"

"Yes"

"I'm Doctor Daniels, but you can call me William" smiled William. "I'm going to get your Friend here onto a gurney and bring her in to the hospital so I can examine her, I need you to relax, and I assure you she's in very safe hands".

"Uh…ok… ok um, Fae-Fae", he stroked her cheek to wake her up, "We're at the hospital, you're going to be ok, this doctor is going to help you ok- …" stressed Fiyero.

The corners of Elphaba's mouth curled up into a small smile "Is this the part when…im supposed to say i…I don't like hospitals again?" she paused "…I love you…Yero". She closed her eyes again as some more doctors came over with a gurney.

"On three guys were going to lift Elphaba on to the gurney" ordered William to the other doctors.

"One"

"Two"

"Three, lift".

Elphaba was pushed off behind the hospital doors Fiyero ran after them followed by Galinda.

"She-she hasn't eaten hardly anything for a month or so" said Fiyero as William examined Elphaba's beaten body.

"I can see, she looks very undernourished, her ribs are visible through her skin, and I think she is dangerously underweight"

"I-I know…She was kidnapped and locked up and…" Fiyero started to cry again, Galinda came up and hugged him and told the doctor what else she knew about Elphaba's condition.

"Doctor Sir, Elphie, she told me…she was uh raped and she was in a lot of pain…She asked me to take her to the doctors but uh well- considering…"

"It's ok Ma'am"

"Galinda"

"Galinda, I will check her over thoroughly"

Elphaba opened her eyes again as she was being pushed into another room. "Yero…don't, don't leave me…please" cracked Elphaba's voice. She could see that she was moving further and further away from him and he obviously had to stay where he was.

"It's alright Fae, I'll be here when you get back" smiled Fiyero trying not to cry again.

Elphaba was pushed into a small examine room, William stepped inside and closed the door. He could see Elphaba was very frightened. "Hi there Elphaba, I'm Doctor Daniels but you can call me William" He picked up a stool and sat next to Elphaba "I understand you're in pain, yes?"

"I…I am"

"Ok Elphaba" said William as he pulled on some gloves "I'm going to examine you, and then try help you with your pain, is that alright?" He smiled.

"Anything…to…to stop me hurting" cringed Elphaba.

He slid is chair over next to Elphaba's head and carefully felt her swollen jaw. She flinched. "This looks pretty painful Elphaba, but I don't think it's broken just badly bruised, it should heal up in a few weeks or so" smiled William. He then carefully cleaned up the cuts on her face and put stiches in the deep ones.

He then put a large bandage around her ribcage to protect the broken ones. "I'm afraid we can't do much for those ribs Elphaba, they will heal in their own time"

"Th…thanks"

"I was talking to your friend Galinda before, she told me you were sexually assaulted is this true Elphaba?"

"Yeah…it…it's true". William rubbed her arm reassuringly.

"She also told me that you were in a lot of pain and wanted her to take you to get checked up"

"Yes"

"Well seeing we are here now would you like me to take a look?"

"Um…ok I think it would be- best"

"Ok then Elphaba, I'll just give you some pain killers before I go and get you a hospital gown" smiled William.

"S…sounds good" Whispered Elphaba

He injected some drugs into her arm then left.

When William came back 20 minutes later Elphaba was sleeping from the effect of the drugs. He touched her arm to wake her up.

"Yero my love…im so very scared…" mumbled Elphaba with closed eyes; she was a bit delirious from the drugs. Her hand reached over and picked up the Doctors. "Don't leave me Yero…please stay. The doctor smiled to himself and decided it best not to say anything.

Once ELphaba was more awake and alert he walked up to her again. "Have a nice nap?"

"mmhmm"

William helped her with the hospital gown then helped her to lie down again.

"Would you like anyone in here with you while I examine you? Fiyero perhaps?"

"Oh…um maybe, maybe- I think I would like G…Galinda with me"

William went off and returned with the blonde in toe.

"Elphie! You're ok!"

"Thanks for being here with me my sweet"

"That's ok Elphie, I promised you I would be with you and I never go back on my promises"

"Perhaps you can sit behind Elphaba" suggested William

Galinda climbed up on Elphaba's bed and sat against the headboard. She then let the green woman's head rest on her stomach.

"There we go Elphie" she took hold of Elphaba's hands "We're all ready now" smiled Galinda.

"Im so tired Galinda…I feel like, like I could sleep forever…"

"When we're finished here we can go back to Fiyero's house and you can sleep as long as you like, and me and Fiyero will be with you the whole time" whispered Galinda.

"Alright Girls, you ready ELphaba?"

"As ready as ill ever be". Elphaba was shacking, Galinda squeezed her hands tighter and the doctor examined in-between her legs.

"G…Galinda…I…"

"It's ok Elphie, talk to me, let it out"

"It hurts…it shouldn't hurt- sh…should it?

"Don't worry Elphie, im here it will be ok"

"But…but im scared".

Galinda tried to distract her " Just think Elphie, you will be back in the Vinkus soon, no more school, just you, me and Fiyero."

"G...Galinda please...ouchh...please- please Dr Sir please, please stop" begged Elphaba.

"Shhh, Elphie would you like me to get Fiyero for you?"

"Not too worry ladies, we're done, you did good Elphaba. Im going to leave you for a bit ill send Fiyero in then" said William as he left the room once more.

Galinda felt as Elphaba's tense muscles relax, she slumped against her friend. "It alright Elphie! You were brave".

"No I wasn't I was so…scared"

"But you pulled through; you are brave Elphie, even if you think you are not" Smiled Galinda as she squeezed her friend's hands.

"Thanks Galinda…you mean so much to- to me" whispered Elphaba. Galinda grinned.

"How is the rest of you feeling Elphie?"

"I'm on pain killers I can't feel…pain right now but- but im sure it will let me know later on" replied Elphaba.

"Oh ok that's good…do you think you can walk, maybe we can go for a walk around the hospital and get you something to eat, you must be hungry" worried Galinda.

Elphaba pointed at a line going onto her arm, "this is helping, its giving me all the vitamins I need" smiled the green woman.

"Well what about we just go for a walk?"

"Fae?" there was a knock on the door. "Come in!" called Galinda

"Yero…" Elphaba's heart pounded in her chest when she saw Fiyero standing at the door. She held out her hand asking him to come over, he embraced her gently then kissed her softly. "Im never letting you out of my sight ever again" said Fiyero seriously.

"Fiyero my love, I hardly think that's necessary" smiled Elphaba

"But it is I want you to be safe".

Galinda coughed. "As I was saying Elphie, we should go for a walk"

"Only if I come" replied Fiyero.

"I don't think anyone's going if I can't move" mumbled Elphaba who was trying to sit up.

"Here let me help" Fiyero took Elphaba by her arms gently and pulled her into a sitting position.

"Ahhhh, Fiyero!" hollered Elphaba, she latched onto her abdomen as pain shot through her legs and up through to her stomach and back. Tears sprung into her eyes. "Fiyero, Fiyero! It hurts!" her green hands tried to grab a hold of his shirt but she was unable to maintain a grip. A look of complete shock fell across Fiyero's face. "Fiyero, Fiyero…Yero" her cries of pain trailed off as Fiyero held her tight. "Elphaba, tell me, where does it hurt.

"My whole b…body … I ca…I can't move Yero." At that moment Doctor Daniels came back into the room.

"What happened, Elphaba? "Asked William as he started checking her over.

"I- I tried to get up…everything hurt esp-"She stopped and held onto her stomach again. "Especially my abdomen" Elphaba cried as the doctor talked to her. Then Galinda cried because Elphaba was crying. Fiyero had a pain deep in his heart.

"We'll have a look ok? Elphaba" said the doctor kindly

"Don't hurt her!" buttered in Fiyero "I don't want her to hurt anymore

"It's alright lad im not going to hurt her, i promise"
