Chapter 9. Admitting Guilt

Elphaba raised an eyebrow skeptically, went over, and sat down in Fae's desk chair. Fiyero took a seat on Fae's bed, and her brother joined him.

"That can't be it girls, now what's really going on?" Fiyero asked. Makinla sighed.

"All right. But, maybe you'd better alert my mom and--"

"And my parents, Auntie Fabla." Anakin said, interrupting.

Liir got up.

"I'll do it."

In no time, Lady Glinda, Boq and Nessa, were sitting in the girls' dorm, waiting for Makinla to talk. Finally, the young blonde took a deep breath, and spoke.

"N....now Auntie Fabla, don't get upset. This was just an accident. I didn't mean for it to happen, it just did--"

"What are you trying to say Kinla? Spit it out." Elphaba ordered, her regal manner showing.

Makinla bit her lip, then spoke.

"Fae's missing. And it's all my fault."
