Fellow Ozians—let us be glad, let us be grateful, let us rejocify this story could subdue the wicked workings of You-Know-Who (as in voldemort…)
Whatever. Read, review, enjoy!
Chapter four
They arrived at Kiamo Ko just as the sun peeked over. Elphaba had fallen asleep, and was curled up in the bubble. Glinda was tired to, but knew that running from the wizard and Madame Morrible…not to mention practically all of Oz was a lot bigger issue than flying a bubble all night, so she carried on. Going over a mountain, Glinda got the first look at where Elphaba lived.
Kiamo Ko looked as if it had been burnt. It was falling down in someplaces and vines held together walls and it's long slender towers seemed to droop. It was black everywhere, and dusty windows could be seen. Cobwebs were in bushes, and an old, unravling rope draped over several mossy rocks in the moat.
It was perfect. The perfect hideout for whatever came. Even Madame Morrible, who would go up, down, through, and around anything to make sure Elphaba was dead, wouldn't step a foot in these waters.
Chistery and a group of other monkeys screeched happily as Glinda landed.
"Sssh!" she hushed. She was happy to see the monkeys, but they should let Elphaba sleep. Who knew how many times she'd stayed up late?
Inadvertly, Elphaba woke and sat up.
"Good morning Chistery! Luna, you look lovely. Arnold, is your wing better?" she greeted each of the monkeys by name. Glinda was amazed at how much love Elphaba had for them, even though they gave up on Elphaba's attempts to teach them to speak.
(I did research on Elphie's family…turns out she and fiyero had a son! Awwww! So this will be based off of Wizard of Oz, Wicked, and the book. And imagination, of course! Just a heads up for what's coming next. Oh yeah and I added a child!)
"Mommy…!" Elphaba heard a screech from inside the house. She, Glinda and the monkeys hustled in.
"Mommy! Liir took my teddy bear!" a voice whined.
Glinda's jaw almost hit the ground. Two children? A boy, with wavy brown hair and blue eyes—Fiyero's eyes…came running in after a younger girl. He wasn't green. He was the same peachy color of Nessa, and he had Elphaba's smile. The girl—possibly six or seven—looked like Elphaba in every way. Green skin, long black hair, and brown eyes.
"You have…?" Glinda began, trailing off. She was still surprised. Elphaba didn't answer, she was too busy with the children.
"Liir, give Eldora back her bear."
"Mom, can I just say that since she's smaller than me, she should let me play with her toys now and then?" Liir said. He always thought he should be treated as an adult. Little did he know that ten year olds still had a long way to go.
"Can I just say, give her back the bear or you lose dessert?" Elphaba smirked.
"Fine, whatever. Dad won't play with me!" he added as he handed Eldora back her bear.
"There's a bat in my room again!" the little girl whined, sucking her thumb.
(sorry. One more thing. When I read this in my head I pronounce Liir's name "Lir." Is that right? Or is it "Lire?")
Elphaba rubbed the bridge of her nose with her fingers, closing her eyes.
"Oz.." she mumbled. She looked up brightly. "Kids, this is your Aunty Glinda."
"This is your sister? I thought our Aunt was dead, mom."
Elphaba grimaced. "Well, yes. But you can call her your Aunt, because she's like my sister. Let's go find dad."
Eldora skipped up to Glinda and slipped her hand through hers.
"I'm six," she said proudly. She showed her five fingers.
"Add one more," said Glinda, loving Elphaba's children more each second.
Eldora held up a hand and her pinky.
"Good job," Glinda laughed.
"Liir, honestly," Elphaba said as they walked down the hall. "what's wrong?"
"Dad's always working, and you're always gone. More Animals come to our house to stay each day, and Eldora hates me. I'm homeschooled, and I have no friends!"
"There are several Animals here that have children! I know they'd love to be your friends!"
"I meant people. Real, Ozian people."
"Honey, they are talking animals. How much more real do you want them to be?"
Liir didn't respond. He went into his room.
Elphaba huffed. Even after running from the wizard, things were still hard.
There will probably be two more chapters coming, if not one. I hope you liked this. Don't worry, Fiyero's in the next chapter, to all of you who want to read about him. So yeah. Review please!
