Chapter 87. What If?
Rifiuto: Non Miniera
A/N: Sorry this chapter is so late, I've been working on Kiss Me Goodbye and Bones. The next few chapters should be in the next few days.
Thanks to -greenTARDISgal-, and Elphaba1Fan for reviewing 86.
A week passed.
Fiyero did as instructed, giving Elphaba her medicine twice a day. He kept a close watch on her, cancling meetings to stay with her. On the rare occasion that he had to go to meeting, he only stayed for a few minutes.
"Fiyero?"
The king looked up, to see Glinda standing in the doorway. Quickly, he glanced at Elphaba, who lay sleeping, her hand in his, as he sat on the edge of the bed, stroking her hair. Leaning over, he kissed her hair, before getting up and joining Glinda in the hall, closing the door softly behind him.
"What is it, Glinda?"
"Yero, have....have you...thought about...."
"About what, Lady Glinda?"
"....about......what to do.....if.....um.....Elphie dies?" The blonde asked, worry in her eyes.
"She's not going to die, Lady Glinda. She's not that weak. She's strong. She's a fighter. Fae always has been, and always will be." Fiyero said, teeth clenched. "Now, is that all?" Glinda nodded.
"I'm.....sorry, Your Highness." She whispered, withdrawing herself. Fiyero nodded, and returned to Elphaba's bedside. Sighing, he lay next to her and held her close.
