"She's the... Vampire I t-told you about..." Violet said between gasps of pain. As her eyes continued to stay black, she took one of Elphaba's hands in her paw. "Elphaba..." she looked to Selene and locked eyes with the Vampire. "...she killed Glinda," she finished, speaking loud enough for the Vampire to hear.

Selene's eyes widened as the force of the words caused her to take a step back. Even if she wanted to run, she wouldn't have been able to. Fear began to form a ball in the pit of her stomach, preventing her from moving, speaking, or breathing.

"Wh-What?" Elphaba managed to squeak out, looking to Selene. "You...?" She looked away, tears threatening to appear in her eyes as Selene merely nodded. "Why?"

Selene moved to step forward, but Violet snarled, and she decided to stay where she was. "Just... hear me out, both of you. I-"

Violet slowly stood up and walked forward slightly, baring her teeth. "There is absolutely no excuse."

Selene nodded slowly. "I know there isn't, but still... there was a reason."

As Violet moved to stand up, Elphaba held her down, looking to Selene with tears in her eyes. "Tell me."

The Vampire hesitantly took a step forward, nodding. "It was about three years ago when Glinda and I first met. I think she was just out of Shiz." She looked away, sighing. "Anyways, when you, Elphaba, became the Wicked Witch, I heard news of a resistance of Darklings planning to kill Glinda in order to draw you out of hiding."

Elphaba's eyes widened. "What?"

"They wanted to recruit you, or so I heard." Selene turned back to them. "Anyways, I went to Glinda and told her the circumstances, she asked me what to do."

Violet snorted. "So you turned her." It wasn't a question- it was a statement.

Selene shook her head. "No, not at first. I didn't want to, but as it turns out, the Darklings decided to attack that night. I was going to find a way to get her out of Oz, but she came running to me and startled me, and..." she trailed off.

"You lost control."

The brunette nodded sadly. "I wasn't ready for her to come at me and I wasn't prepared mentally." She looked away again. "Next thing I knew, she was underneath me, and there was blood everywhere. I told her to stay still- that I would find a way to save her, but by the time the Darklings reached the room, she truly was unmoving."

Elphaba closed her eyes. "You saw her die?"

Selene nodded again, but stopped, looking up. "That... and more."

"What do you mean?" Violet shot at Selene. "She died: end of story."

"She did die, but she didn't... stay dead."

Elphaba stood up and walked briskly to Selene, grabbing her by the shirt collar and getting in her face. "What are you telling me? You... t-turned her?" Her voice quivered and her grip was unyielding. All Selene could do was nod. "How?"

"I bit her, but I didn't kill her. I knew that she was an important person, so I saved her by killing her."

Elphaba blinked. "Wait... She's alive?" Her eyes widened. Selene nodded, but Elphaba wanted more than that. "Where is she?!"

Selene shoved Elphaba away from her, fixing her shirt. Now came the serious part. "I would gladly tell you... but you have to do something for me first."

Violet snarled. "You don't get to call shots."

Selene smirked at the Werewolf laying before her. Looking to Elphaba, she said, "I need your word that she-" she pointed at Violet. "-won't hurt me."

Elphaba looked back to Violet, who was baring her teeth furiously. Sighing, she nodded slowly. "Alright. I give you my word," she forced herself to say, though she honestly could make no guarantees.

As Elphaba looked over the Vampire by the name of Selene, she couldn't help but find the girl eerily familiar. The longer her eyes fell on the brunette Vampire, the longer Elphaba felt like she knew this girl... almost from another life. The thing she found to be the most intriguing was Selene's eyes. Unlike a normal Vampire's eyes, that were either blood-red or amber-brown, Selene's were seemingly pitch black, but they had a sort of haze to them as well. Blinking, Elphaba knew that this girl before her had quite the story to tell, but right now, she needed to hear the chapter that involved Glinda... her love.

Selene nodded, looking past Elphaba to Violet. "Glinda is nearby."

Elphaba's eyes widened and she looked around frantically. "Where? Where is she?" She looked to Selene again when the Vampire didn't respond. She growled, grabbing Selene again by the shirt collar. "Where?!"

The Witch smirked at seeing the fear and intimidation in the Vampire's eyes. "Tell me, or I can make no promises that you will remain safe from either one of us..." she warned.

Violet scoffed darkly. "Then you'll wish that she had left you to me, Bloodsucker."

Selene swallowed her pride as a ball of fear started to form in the pit of her stomach. She winced as Elphaba gripped her shirt tightly, looking as though she was going to throw Selene all the way to the Emerald City. As her breaths grew short and staggered, she coughed to clear her throat, nodding slowly. "I'll j-just go and uh... get her..." she muttered.

Elphaba's eyes narrowed as she shoved Selene away roughly, still smirking at the power she had over a person who could snap her like a twig in an instant. As Selene took a hesitant step back, she tripped over a rock, falling backwards, but the instant she hit the ground, she jumped up and darted off into the forest.

"You realize that we have no way of knowing if she'll be coming back or not, don't you?"

Elphaba nodded. "But Oz is only so big, and knowing you... she wouldn't make it very far." She turned on her heel and walked back over to Violet and knelt down next to her, smiling as Violet gently laid her head in Elphaba's lap.

Violet sighed happily, nuzzling Elphaba playfully in the stomach. Her ears perked up as Elphaba kissed her muzzle affectionately, and her tail began to thump loudly against the ground. Wincing slightly, Violet turned her head to look over her wounds. "I'm already started to heal," she informed Elphaba. "By the time that filthy Bloodsucker gets back, I'll be good as new, and ready to kick her ass."

"But you can't kick her ass if she comes back with Glinda, Violet..." Elphaba noted, bringing about a groan from the Werewolf. "We'll give her thirty minutes to be back before we go after her."

***

Selene skidded to a stop as she reached the front of the house. She placed her hands on her knees and panted. Did she really just sprint all the way across the Gilikin Forest? Damn, she thought. I need to get into better shape... Looking up, her eyes gleamed as she looked up at the window she knew to be the one to Glinda's bedroom.

She walked to the door, knocking on it once, twice, three times. "Glinda?" she hissed. "Get out here." She back up and looked at all the other windows to the house before turning around abruptly as she heard the howling of a Werewolf in the distance.

Glinda walked to the window and her eyes widened as she saw Selene standing outside of her house. "Ugh... what does she want...?" she asked aloud, pulling her cloak onto her shoulders.

Again, she heard Selene order her to come out. "Glinda! Get out here now!"

"I'm coming!" the blonde roared back, opening the window and leaping outside, landing weightlessly on her feet in front of Selene. She smirked at the look of shock on the brunette's face. "What do you want, Selene? This had better be good."

"Relax, Blondie..." Selene hissed.

Glinda growled from deep in her throat. "I'll not tell you again, Selene... don't call me Blondie."

Selene smiled deviously at the blonde. She looked at Glinda up and down, pursing her lips as she faked a sad sigh. "Damn, it's too bad Elphaba wants you back so badly, or else I'd chase you myself," she admitted, earning a blush from the blonde, but it was short lived.

Glinda's eyes narrowed as she heard the name of her past lover. "What do you mean Elphaba wants me back?" she questioned, taking a step forward. "Tell me now, Selene, or else you will suffer the consequences..." she hissed.

Smirking, Selene narrowed her eyes as well. "Is that a threat or a promise?"

As Glinda moved to swing at Selene, the brunette leaped over her head and landed right behind her, but the blonde had anticipated that move. Swinging around, Glinda threw out her hand and caught Selene by the throat, lifting her just barely off the ground. "Really, Selene... you'd think you'd have learned your lesson by now."

Selene laughed against the growing pressure on her throat. "Well, I am a slow learner..." She grabbed Glinda by the wrist and spun the blonde around, pulling the arm behind Glinda's back and temporarily subduing her. Selene smirked, leaning forward and resting her chin on Glinda's shoulder so that she could whisper into the blonde's ear. "You deserve better than that green bean, Blondie..." she murmered, flirtatiously placing a kiss over the fang-shaped scars on Glinda's neck.

Glinda shuddered at this familiar gesture and struggled against Selene's hold. The other Vampire had her in a strong lock hold, but she still had flaws in her style. Using as much momentum as she could muster up from that position, Glinda flipped to the side, suddenly turning Selene's hold against her as she yanked the brunette's right arm behind her back, threatening to either dislocate it, or simply break the limb altogether.

"How do you know what I deserve, Selene?!" she growled, digging her claws into Selene's arm for emphasis. "You took away everything that I loved. Everything I ever worked for." She spun Selene around and shoved her into the side of the house roughly.

Selene winced, clutching her shoulder, knowing that the blonde had more than likely torn the muscle below the flesh. "Unless you forgot, Blondie... I saved you ass! I could have let you die, but I didn't!"

Glinda roared. "Do NOT call me 'Blondie' again, or-"

"Or what? What are you gonna do about it... Blondie?" Selene taunted with extra emphasis on the last word.

Reached down into her boot, Glinda removed a long, razor-sharp stake and pointed it at Selene, slowly walking forward, forcing the brunette's back against the side of the house, effectively trapping her. As Selene stared at the stake, frozen in fear, Glinda continued to advance until the tip of the stake was resting against Selene's chest, aimed directly at the Vampire's heart. "You wouldn't..." Selene muttered, now finally looking up to meet Glinda's cold gaze.

Glinda pushed the stake so that the tip just barely pierced Selene's flesh. "Why wouldn't I? You took away my heart. For all it's worth, I'll just kill you here and now and track down Elphaba myself," she growled. "I'd kill you and never lose a night's sleep over it."

Selene swallowed hard as she felt the faint sting of the stake poking into her skin and she felt her heart pounding fearfully. As she looked into Glinda's eyes, she saw no hint that the blonde was bluffing, so she nodded slowly, but tensed when the stake did not move from its position over her heart. "I... I will take you back to her, but I need you to promise me something first..."

Glinda's eyes narrowed, but she nodded in response. "What do you want?"

"There's a Werewolf with her... Violet... I need you to protect me from her."

The blonde felt her heart stop completely. She backed away from Selene slowly. "Werewolf?" she asked, her lip quivering. "Who is this... Violet?"

Selene breathed a sigh of relief, placing a hand over her heart. "I dunno..." she replied.

Glinda looked forward to Selene. "Well... are they... together...?"

Selene shrugged her shoulders, deciding not to push Glinda any further. "I don't know. It sure seems like the Werewolf wishes they were that way though."

Looking into Selene's eyes, Glinda felt a wave of relaxation sweep through her. Sighing, Glinda reached up, causing Selene to flinch as she tucked some of Selene's hair behind her ear.

"What was that for?" Selene asked, her eyes wide.

Glinda smiled faintly. "You know, things could have been different..." she muttered when Selene pushed her away slightly. "Had you stayed around instead of running off... well let's just say that we might be in a better position than we are now..."

Selene swallowed. "You uh... you don't mean that..."

Glinda walked forward and gently pressed herself against Selene's figure, earning a deep red blush from the brunette. Selene diverted her eyes when she felt Glinda's arms wrap around her waist, holding her close and preventing any escape. Her breaths grew short and staggered again as she fought the urge to look into Glinda's eyes.

"You know... I never did thank you for saving my life..."

"N-No... you didn't..." Selene replied, chuckling nervously as she could clearly feel Glinda's warm breath bouncing off her own face. Still, Selene looked away.

Glinda sighed. "Please look at me, Sel..." she pouted.

Selene practically melted at the sound of her nickname that so very few new, let alone used. Turning her head back slowly, Selene felt her breath hitch as her eyes locked with Glinda's.

Flashes of the night after Selene had turned Glinda danced in and out of both of their memories. Glinda smiled as she once again remembered how gentle and loving Selene had been during her first hours as a newborn Vampire. Looking at Selene now, nearly four years later, Glinda couldn't help but wonder if the Selene she knew back then was still in there somewhere.

Glinda reached up and ran her fingers through Selene's hair gently, still smiling. She gave a small giggle when the brunette shuddered, closing her eyes.

Leaning forward slowly, Glinda kissed Selene's cheek, smirking at the blush that suddenly appeared. "That was for saving my life."

Selene opened her eyes and looked to Glinda, the flushed skin causing her cheeks to heat up. "We really should get-" Her words were cut short when a pair of soft, pink lips pressed against her own.

Her first reaction was to turn away, but Glinda had her right hand entangled in Selene's hair as the two moved their lips together in unison. Moving slowly, Glinda gently forced Selene's face to tilt downward as she rose to the tips of her toes, silently asking permission to deepen the kiss. As Selene slid her right hand up Glinda's back, while resting her left on Glinda's hip, she felt her lips part slowly, granting Glinda the access she had requested.

A few moments later, the two finally broke apart, both gasping for air. Glinda smiled, taking a step back Selene opened her eyes, looking at Glinda, confused. "Wh-What... was that for...?" she panted.

Glinda rolled her eyes. "You ask too many questions, Sel."

"Why? Why threaten to kill me, then pull something like..." she didn't finish the sentance. "Why?" she asked again.

Sighing, Glinda looked away. "Selene, you're always so evassive that it makes my head spin trying to get you to talk. You always dodge subjects and imply things even when the subject is insignificant. There wasn't any other way to get you to speak."

"Would you have done it?" Selene asked, looking hurt. "Would you have killed me?"

"Never."

Selene looked away, licking her lips in thought. She shook her head slowly. Looking back up to Glinda, a deep, dark anger burned in her eyes. "We should go: Elphaba, your beloved, is waiting for you," she said coldly.

"Sel, please... don't be like this..." Glinda pleaded. "I meant what I said: we could have been together, but you left... like always."

Growling, Selene walked up to Glinda in a huff. "Then choose now," she hissed. "Me or Elphaba?"

Glinda looked down, blinking back tears. "Please don't make me choose..."

"Elphaba it is, then."

Looking up, Glinda saw nothing but pain, anger, and heartbreak in Selene's eyes. The brunette walked past the blonde. "If we don't get back soon, that Werewolf will come after me." She turned back to Glinda.

"That's all you care about, isn't it? As long as you're all well and good, you're happy. But Oz forbid, someone needs you to give up a little pride to help them... and you walk away."

"The world walked out on me..." Selene said, meeting Glinda's gaze. "Who's to say you won't too?"

Glinda let loose a whimper. "Sel... I-"

"Save it. We need to move."

The trek back to Elphaba's and Violet's location was a long, quiet one.

As Glinda moved swiftly behind Selene, she felt something in her chest ache. The hurt was almost unbearable. Over the past four years, Selene had shown up consistantly every month to check up on her. For the first two year, every time Glinda would hear Selene knock on her door, the blonde would feel as though her heart had returned to her body. But she couldn't tell Selene, so she pushed her away, until finally, Selene couldn't take it anymore and stopped showing up altogether.

The words Glinda wanted to say most echoed in her tired mind as she saw a clearing coming up in the distance. Looking to Selene, the two of them came to an abrupt stop at the forest's edge. "We're here," came Selene's voice.

Glinda sighed, allowing her gaze to shift to the clearing, where she saw Elphaba leaned over the injured Werewolf. Her eyes burned with tears of joy as she stepped out to greet her lost love. "Elphaba! I-" She stopped short when she saw Elphaba's lips pressed against the Werewolf's. "What the fuck?" she growled.
