Wicked Witches of Ferrypoint Landing
Arthur rolled Daphne onstage and there was loud applause from her friends and about everyone else except the representatives. She looked so stiff, severe, and like someone who doesn't take any nonsense.
That was totally not her. She was nonsense. It was everything she stood for. She was a 14-year-old going on 15. She had her Daphne-ish and all of that. So to see her as severe, seat ridden Nessarose scared me.
ARTHUR
(spoken) Will there be anything else, Madame? (Arthur asked this stiffly and he didn't really move. He held nothing but anger towards Daphne)
DAPHNE
(spoken) I've asked you to call me Nessarose.
Remember?
ARTHUR
Yes…Madame (He walked away, not looking back. I guess he was still angry at her for shrinking his heart. But with Nessarose amplifying her emotions since they were so similar in a way she'd)
DAPHNE
Boq! (She rolled around to stare at him and then rolled back to her previous position. She took out a mirror and started to smooth out her hair. Okay, now everyone knew she was conceited. She knew she looked better than her sister and she didn't give a damn)
SABRINA
(spoken) Wow…it seems the beautiful get more beautiful. (My face was suddenly in the mirror but I wasn't standing outside of it as a reflection. I had used magic…and everyone knew it again. It's much more fun to use magic than to not to…)
While the green just get greener… (I opened the door and stepped out, my hands holding my cloak tight so I could make sure the Grimmerie didn't fall out of it. I looked at her in worry.)
I'm sorry, did I scare you?
It seems I have that affect on people.
It's good to see you…
DAPHNE
What are you doing here? (I looked at her pleadingly. Her words were laced with hurtful venom)
SABRINA
Well…there's no place like home
I never thought that I'd say this but I need father's help (I rushed up to her and kneeled down in front of her, grasping her hand. I looked at him pleadingly)
I need him to stand with me
DAPHNE
That's impossible (Her voice was emotionless
SABRINA
No it's not!
Not if you ask him.
He'll do it for you, you know it!
DAPHNE
Father's dead! (She said it with such a harsh conviction yet as if she had trouble saying it. She looked at me coldly but I could see the glint of amusement in her eyes. She was having fun playing the cold and wicked bitch sister. That was usually me. She was the likeable sister)
SABRINA
What?
DAPHNE
He's dead.
I'm the governor now. (I got up and walked away from her backwards and she wiped her eyes as if she'd been crying over his death. She wheeled herself after her)
Well, what did you expect?
After he'd heard what you done…
How you disgraced us! He died…
Of shame! (I looked at her in shock and turned away. She wheeled away from me, disgust on her face. She glared at me accusingly as if she were yelling at me from all my wrongdoings and my mistakes that I had thought were in the past. I had to swallow the bile rising in my throat)
Embarrassed to death! (In the background 'No One Mourns The Wicked' played softly in the background)
SABRINA
Good, I'm glad…it's better that way. (I said it softly and she stared at me in shock and rage)
DAPHNE
That's…a WICKED thing to say! (She shouted so loudly that Dad froze at the anger and hatred in her voice for me. He hadn't even thought to pay attention to whether we had any talents besides solving mysteries)
SABRINA
It's true! Now it's just us. (I rushed over to her and knelt, her hands in my own)
You can help me. Together… (She yanked her hands away)
DAPHNE
Elphaba, shut up! First of all!
I can't help a fugitive if I'm an unelected official! (Ominous and destructive music started. Daphne looked around at the sound of it as if she didn't recognize)
And why should I help you?
Flying around Oz, trying to rescue Animals you've never even met!
And not once, did you ever think to use your powers to rescue me!
(SING) All of my life I depended on you! (This was true. From the time my parents were kidnapped she had depended on me and in the end…it was me she needed saving from. I caused her to become a witch…to never have a human life. She wheeled forward towards me and I put up my hands)
How do you think that feels?
All of my life I depended on you!
In this hideous chair with wheels.
Scrounging for scraps of pity to pick up
And longing to kick my…
Heels (She looked angry at me and I looked down)
SABRINA
Nessa, there isn't a spell for everything.
The power is mysterious.
It's not just like cobbling up a pair of… (I suddenly short and pulled out the Grimmerie. If this is what she wanted I create a thousand ruby slippers for her. She wouldn't be able to keep the first ones I'd made. We'd give that up if the time called for it but I'd give her ruby slippers just like I gave her the Wand of Merlin)
(Sung) Ambulahn Dare Pahto Pahpoot (I began to swish my arms around and I pushed all my powers out so I could create a successful pair. But I also had to save some power to turn Arthur's joints into tin again)
Ambulahn Dasca Caldapess Lahfenahto
Lahfenahtum Pede Pede Caldapess
DAPHNE
What are you doing!
What does that mean? (She was screeching while I chanted the spell over again)
Oh! Oh! (She was screaming in real pain again and I regretted doing the spell while it was on her. She screamed in pain again)
My shoes! They feel like they're on fire!
What have you done to my shoes?(I completed the chant for a third time and brought my hands in, cradling the magic before throwing my hand out. The shoes flashed and became ruby. Another pair of ruby slippers! Daphne's foot was thrown out, clumsily and then the other. I lifted my hands up and she fell out of her seat. I leaned forward to catch her)
No! Don't help me. (She began to stand up. But it wasn't her making her stand. It was the shoes…the shoes worked. I had just made another pair of Ruby Slippers…thank you Fern for giving me my new favorite book! Now I'm going to teach her how to read it. It's official)
Goodness!
SABRINA
Oh Nessa, at last…
(SUNG) I've done what long ago I should
And finally from these powers, something good…
Finally, something good (Never anything good…it's not true. I'm about to permanently ruin Arthur's life. At least I won't feel bad about that)
DAPHNE
Boq! Boq! Come quickly!
SABRINA
Boq?
DAPHNE
Boq! Come here at once! (She seemed really enthusiastic at calling Arthur. Too bad it seemed that he liked Fern…uh, oh. I groaned and Arthur ran out. She sat in her chair again)
ARTHUR
Yes? What is it Madame Governor? (He walked in and stared at me in shock. He pointed at me, in anger. I guess he realized what's going to happen in this chapter)
You! Stay back!
SABRINA
It's just me. I'm not going to hurt you
ARTHUR
You're lying! That's all you ever do.
You and your sister! (Well, you got that right. But Daphne looked angry and so very sad and angry. I was usually the liar. I think what I used to call myself the Queen of Sneaks…)
She's as wicked as you are!
DAPHNE
Boq!
SABRINA
What are you talking about?
ARTHUR
I'm talking about my life!
The little that's left of it!
I'm not free to leave Munchkinland
None of us are!
Ever since she took power she's been stripping
Munchkins of all our rights.
We didn't have many to begin with… (Daphne looked distraught again and it angered me. It angered me at what Arthur was doing. He was destroying her all over again and he deserved whatever was coming to him again.)
And do you know why?
DAPHNE
To keep you here with me! (She held her hand to her chest and she looked at him, biting her lip. She relaxed and Boq looked at her in confusion. He truly didn't know that she had liked him…even loved him?)
But none of that matters anymore!
Look! (She stumbled out of the chair and Arthur caught sight of the shoes. He knew I had just made another pair and he had to mask his greedy look. He's not getting anything that's a product of my magic. The only thing he was getting was tin joints, a shrunken heart, and after the show a punch in the face)
ARTHUR
You did this? For her?
DAPHNE
For both of us…
ARTHUR
Oh Nessa, this changes everything (He took her hands and she smiled. It was a cruel smile masked as a sweet one and he noticed. He didn't cringe from her. He would take pleasure in making her distraught once again. Of course, he would think what we did was a freak accident. She would reveal her tattoos to him after curtain call. It'd be hilarious for him to learn she was a powerful witch under the tutelage of Baba Yaga)
DAPHNE
I know. (She was happy. But we both knew that her happiness would end in a matter of minutes. We both knew her anger would control her.)
ARTHUR
(SUNG) Nessa. Oh, Nessa…
Surely now, I'll matter less to you
You won't mind my leaving here tonight?
DAPHNE
Leaving? (She knew he was being so very serious now. She looked at him in disbelief and anger)
ARTHUR
(SUNG) Yes!
That ball that's being staged
Announcing Glinda is engaged to Fiyero. (He was talking about Fern and Puck. He didn't realize that Puck loved Fern as a sister and that was it. He'd find out soon enough, I suppose and then he'll think he has a chance with her. Fern would never intentionally hurt Daphne like that)
DAPHNE
Glinda? (She was distraught and she walked over to lean on the desk I was standing behind. I held her face up as tears began to stream down her beautiful face. I tried to comfort her but she wiped away the tears. She was angry now and I saw the tattoos on her hand appear. They went up her arms and threatened to appear on her face. She was more full of rage than I'd ever seen her)
ARTHUR
(sung) Yes, Nessa, that's right.
I've got to go appeal to her.
Express the way I feel for her
(spoken) Oh Nessa, I lost my heart to Glinda
From the moment I first saw her.
You know that. (I looked into the wings and saw Fern and Puck glaring at Arthur. At least now I knew she would never go for him in his lifetime and since he was an Everafter that'd be a long while)
DAPHNE
Lost you heart? (She was fuming and her tattoos were darker than I'd ever seen them. Usually they were a grey or dark, dark, dark brown. Now thy were pitch black as the night and she controlled them from creeping up her face. But every Everafter noticed the tattoos that marked her as a product of Baba Yaga's blood)
(sung) Well we'll see about that.
Did you think that I'd let you leave me here flat? (Arthur knew he was in trouble as she stalked forward. He took out a pocket knife. She grinding her teeth and her hands were curled into talons. She was ready to murder now. She stepped back at the knife)
ARTHUR
Don't come any closer! (He wasn't scared like he was last time. He was absolutely and positively terrified at this point. )
DAPHNE
(Sung) You're going to lose your heart to me
I tell you!
If I have to…I have to…magic spell you! (She got down and leaned over the Grimmerie. Her rage and the power of her magic made her able to read it but she'd purposely mess up. She was going to make his heart shrink. )
Ah Toom Tah Take (She was pretty good at pronouncing…until she came to the end. She actually shrunk his heart a little)
SABRINA
Nessa, stop! It's dangerous. (I rushed over to her and leaned down and she threw me off)
ARTHUR
What is she doing?
DAPHNE
Ah…
SABRINA
Stop! You're pronouncing the words all wrong!
DAPHNE
Toom
Core tum…
ARTHUR
Don't try to stop me!
DAPHNE
Ah toom…
SABRINA
Oh no…
ARTHUR
NESSA! (He roared her name at the pain. She was fully aware of what she did and she put on a faux horrorstruck look)
DAPHNE
Boq, what is it?
ARTHUR
My heart…it feels…it feels like it's shrunk…like it's shrinking (She had real shrunk his heart now. It was half the size it was supposed to be and she turned towards me, giving me a meaningful look)
DAPHNE
Elphaba! Do something (She threw the book at me, intending for me to turn him into really tin this time. But…I couldn't do it. I could only do what I had done once before)
SABRINA
You can't reverse a spell once it's been cast. (I said it bluntly and simply. That wasn't necessarily true. If you cast a witches circle I was sure it could be accomplished. A witches circle is when the original caster and at least two other witches joined to reverse the spell. But with a spell from the Grimmerie I'd need, Daphne, myself, Nessarose, Glinda, Fern, and the Wicked Witch, Elphaba)
DAPHNE
Well! Then what will we do! (I rushed behind the wardrobe with Arthur wheezing. It would be more difficult to breath with a smaller heart. Delilah and Destiny were behind there, getting him dressed and putting on the silver make up. And they were good)
This is all your fault! If you hadn't shown me
That horrendible book
SABRINA
Hush, with you!
I'll have to find another spell
It's the only thing that might work (She knew that and she was just saying his lines. She nodded and I rushed behind the wardrobe, preparing to sing loudly so they could hear the melody)
DAPHNE
(Sung) Save him please, just save him
My poor Boq, my sweet, my brave him.
Don't leave 'til my sorry life has ceased
SABRINA
(Sung) Vivahlos Vivahlos Meno Non Cordo
Meno Vivahlos Vivahlos Meno Non Cordo (I was singing softly so people could here both Daphne and I sing. I was singing the melody at the same time she began the second of the end of the song. It was an actual incantation and Destiny and Delilah stared as the cast spell on him)
DAPHNE
(Sung) Alone and loveless here
With just the girl in the mirror
Just her and me, the Wicked Witch of the East (I went into crescendo and Daphne matched mine by being louder so they could actually here her. She held her hands out and everybody could see she looked almost thrilled to be wicked…like me)
We deserve each other
SABRINA
He's asleep…
DAPHNE
What about his heart? (She didn't sound very worried to me but I'm sure for the people who didn't know her as well as I did she did. I felt the wild happiness radiating from her)
SABRINA
It's alright…he won't need one now
I have to go to the Emerald City right away.
What happens to the monkeys is now my fault.
I'm going to set them free
DAPHNE
You're not going back to save some monkeys (She was looking at me, angry. But it wasn't true. She was still inwardly smirking)
You're going to find Fiyero! (Hell, I was…just kidding! Puck is right over there!)
But it's too late…
Elphaba! Please don't leave me! (She hung on to me and I didn't cringe)
SABRINA
I've done everything I could for you.
And it hasn't been enough.
And nothing will ever be (I was choking back tears. I stalked off stage and look into Puck's silver eyes. I walked over to Fern and looked down. I felt small arms wrap around me. Fern looked at me with understanding eyes and Puck wrapped his arms around us.)
DAPHNE
Elphaba! Wait! ELPHABA!
ARTHUR
Where am I? What happened?
DAPHNE
Nothing… (We both knew what happened… Arthur got up and they played squeaking hinges over the sound system but part of it was his. She screamed)
ARTHUR
What is it?
What's wrong? (He looked down at himself. He was in the full costume but the squeaky hinges were all his own)
DAPHNE
It wasn't me! It was her! (He screamed at his rusty hinges and I was laughing quietly. Fern stared emotionlessly at what we'd done. She knew it was the right thing to be done)
BOQ
AHHH!
DAPHNE
I tried to stop her!
BOQ
AHHH! (He looked down at his hand and she stared at it in horror)
DAPHNE
Oh, Boq, I still…
BOQ
AHHHHHHHHHHHHH! (He screamed about what he became and ran off. I felt no regret whatsoever. I was actually quite satisfied. It was actually kind of funny watching him freak out. And if he came to demand me to lift the spell well I'd tell him that he would need to find a few more witches so I could cast a witches circle. Well…only Daphne can really cast a good witches circle. I more of the head witch who carries out the ceremony)
DAPHNE
It was Elphaba, Boq!
IT WAS ELPHABA! (Now I was kind of pissed. It was my fault but now she was sending them after me. Oh well. I looked around and saw Daniel, ready to go on stage. He shot me a smile and looked at Vanessa who looked at him, adoringly. Drake was standing to the side glaring at them. I wonder what's happening with them)
The scene ended and I turned to Vanessa. She was still wearing that nightgown and she looked at me curiously.
"What's up with Drake?" I whispered. Vanessa tilted her head slightly.
"What do you mean?" she asked. I looked at her, being serious.
"I…I'm in love with Daniel. And he knows and he's still my boyfriend" Vanessa whispered. I looked at Fern in surprise and we knew what was happening.
"Oh shit…" she murmured. And there it goes. The blonde girl finally curses. She's never cursed I think. Well…if you exclude the times she called me a bitch. But that's not really a curse.
It's a female dog…
