Elphabalover101: Not initially :P
The Wizard Of Wicked: Haha, yeah, I tried avoiding incest but I figured that since they never get together it's fine, plus Dorothy didn't know her and Boq were related. He tells Glinda that he grew up in the Ozfornage in the flower girl series lol :) who doesn't ship Oslena? tehe. What do you mean Nessa won't be in the musical? she's still born it's just not until 'Secrets'. Haha, poor Fiyero, just like "guy's when do I get to come on? 6 years? whaaaat? what a rip! *goes and sulks*" :P
StephWickedGirl: Glad you're liking it :D
I feel like the end of this is approaching too soon! must make it last at least another two chapters! haha anyway enjoy :)
Melena sat at a table in the busy library down the road from Oscar's house, she was not able to find the book she had been hoping to find as people here didn't tend to believe in magic. She did, however, find a book named 'Mythical Creatures' which was the best she could get for now. Her fingers turned over the front cover and she began to flip through the pages, only looking at the titles of each page. She wasn't sure what she was looking for but she knew that she'd know as soon as she found it. Yes, here it was, The Shadow. She read the description and a tear began to fall down her cheek. She was scared, to say the least. But she was glad, glad she had asked Emily to take care of Dorothy.
...
"Melena!" Larena shouted in panic "thank Oz you're back! Oscar's been hurt, Emily's taken him to the hospital"
Melena's eyes grew with panic "No" she said desperately "it can't happen like this, it can't!" she said, grabbing her coat and running out the door
...
"Mel!" Emily called from the hospital room "thank god you're here!"
"What happened?" Melena asked trying to stay calm
"It was like he snapped into a trance" Emily said , trying to hold back apparent tears "I saw him walking out to the river near our house. He didn't stop, Mel! he just kept walking!" the tears began to stream down her face "I-I ran in after him to stop him from going under. It was like he didn't even see me though, he just kept trying to walk further in, so I slapped him. He came to for a second, I could see it in his eyes. But then he collapsed and I had to pull him from the water. I ran back to the house and called for an ambulance, luckily he was still lying there when I got back"
"Oh, Em!" Melena said wrapping her arms around the bawling girl "he'll be alright, I promise"
Emily sniffed "H-how could you possibly know that?" she asked
"Because your brother's a fighter" Melena said, tears coming to her own eyes "he has to be alright"
...
Larena sat in the small cottage on an arm chair. She was worried about Oscar, it wasn't something he'd do, walking into the river like that. He had the love of his life back, he had a beautiful baby girl... something else was going on here. Larena stood to pace the room, her mind worked better when her body was moving. But when she stood she came face to face with a dark figure "who are you?" she asked, her voice trembling
"I think a better thing to ask is what am I" came a deep voice followed by a laugh "or even better; what am I going to do to you?"
Larena opened her mouth to call for Highmuster but before she could, there was a flash of darkness and she fell to the ground. It wouldn't of worked anyway, the shadow had already found it's way to everyone else in the house.
...
Oscar began to moan and squirm in his bed "somebody come quickly!" Melena called, frightened "something's happening!"
a team of doctor's raced in and held Oscar still "shhhh" one of them began "you're in hospital, you're okay!"
Oscar stopped squirming and his eyes fluttered open, he looked over to Melena, confusion washing over him "who are you?" he asked
Melena had expected this to happen after what she had read in the book but it still hurt and she could feel tears pricking the back of her eyes "Don't worry" Melena said, giving Oscar's arm a small squeeze "you'll remember me in due time" she got up and left, she knew she could fix this and she was going to do anything it took.
...
"It's me you want, isn't it?" Melena shouted from the field by the river "Well isn't it!?" she looked around sharply "why don't you stop hiding?" she asked to no direction in particular "why don't you come after me?"
A deep soft laughter was heard in the air "don't you see Melena, I am coming after you. You have a kind soul, Melena. One that can be deeply damaged by the pain of others. It was much more effective than the direct approach don't you think?"
"Wow, you found my weakness, I'm a nice person" Melena sniped "I'm not afraid of you!"
"Oh really?" the voice came again "Boo! you scared now?" the voice said after a puff of darkness shot its way towards Melena. The dark cloud morphed into the shape of Frex as it stood in front of Melena "how about I cut you a deal? your memories and your courage for all I've taken from your friends" the shadow saw that Melena was contemplating this "don't worry" he added "I'll still leave you with some memories"
