Elphaba awoke with a start, when she heard a loud scream. She shot up and saw Arietta's empty bed.
"Galinda? Galinda!" Elphaba sighed and threw a pillow at the sleeping blonde.
"Stop stalking me, you oversized Munchkin!" Galinda yelled, before becoming fully awake. She ran a hand through her bed head and turned to Elphaba, scowling.
"What!" She yelled.
"Arietta's missing." Elphaba said. Galinda brought up both of her hands to her face, her eyes bulging. Elphaba rolled her eyes.
"Come on!" She said, grabbing Galinda's hand. They ran through the campus all the way to Fiyero's dorm. Elphaba knocked on the door repeatedly, until a disgruntled Fiyero opened the door, rubbing his eyes.
"Oz, Elphaba!" He said, laying eyes on the green girl. "Wait, Elphaba?" His eyes lit up, until he noticed the blonde next to her. "Oh. Wait, why are you guys here?" He said.
Galinda looked about ready to burst it out, so Elphaba covered her mouth. She met his eyes and sighed. "Arietta's gone. We heard- well, I heard a scream that sounded like her." She said, carefully. He didn't know that Arietta was his sister, but he obviously cared a lot about her.
"W-what?" He said.
"She's missing. Someone kidnapped Arietta."
"No." Fiyero whispered.
"Fiyero, you need to know something about Arietta." Elphaba said.
"You can tell me later, come on! We have to go find her!" He said, running past them. When the two caught up to him, he was kneeling on the ground, looking at something
"What are you playing with over there?" Elphaba asked. Galinda began to look around. Fiyero turned around and was as white as a sheet. "It's blood." He said. Elphaba's eyes widened and she ran over to the spot on the wall.
"Oh my Oz..." She said.
Galinda shuddered, deciding not to look at the blood. She began to play around with the little low-hanging lights. She giggled, forgetting the situation she was in. The lights were sparkly and smooth and she ran her hands through it, but pulled away when she got cut.
"Ow! Paper cut! Wait, what?" She looked at the lights again and something caught her eye. She found a piece of paper wedged in one of the bulbs. Frowning she opened it. "Elphie, Fifi! I found something!" She squealed, waving the piece of paper in front of her.
"What is it, Glin?" Fiyero said, desperately hoping for a clue. "It's some sort of scribble on a piece of paper." She handed Elphaba who studied it for a minute before smiling.
"It's from Arietta!" She said. Fiyero snatched the piece of paper and looked at it. "How do you know?"
"It's so obvious! Don't you get it?" She said, then seeing their blank faces she continued. "One, it's her handwriting. Two, it's so her! She left us a puzzle to figure out where she is!"
On the paper there was a crudely drawn picture of some sort of animal, a plus sign and a long dress, another plus sign and a... Clown face? The words Horrible were written on the top.
"Are you sure?" Fiyero asked. Elphaba shook her head. "No, I'm not. we should ask Cierrah."
"I'll go get her." Galinda said, and scurried off to find the tall blonde. A few moments later, Galinda and a sleepy looking Cierrah, appeared. Elphaba explained what was happening and Cierrah's eyes widened. She stares at the piece of paper.
"Arietta never was a good drawer! Oz, I told her that she should've learned!" Cierrah said.
"I think it's a fish." Galinda said. "Galinda, that's prepos- Wait, she may have a point." Elphaba said. "Galinda! You're a genius!" Galinda beamed and tossed her hair.
"Why is that so good?" Fiyero asked, but Cierrah smiled. "Of course! A fish, an over-the-top dress, and a clown face!"
"It's Morrible!" They said at the same time.
"Morrible? I never liked that old sea serpent!" Galinda screeched. Fiyero looked confused.
"Why would Morrible kidnap Arietta?" He asked. All three of them looked at him as if he was an idiot. "For her powers!" They said in unison.
Fiyero sighed. He didnt like where this was going.
When Arietta woke up, she found herself in a dank room, tied to a chair. She tried to remember where she was or how she got here, but she had a pounding headache and it hurt to think. Turning, she saw there was a boy there as well. He was also tied to a chair. He had dirty blonde hair and hazel eyes.
"Hey, you!" She screamed. The boy woke with a start and seeing where he was, he sighed in a way that seemed like he was saying, 'here we go again...'
"Where in Oz are we?!" She demanded. The boy glared at her. "Yeah, nice to meet you too." Arietta rolled her eyes. "I'm Rhydian." He said. When she didn't respond he sighed. "You know this is usually the part where you tell me your name." he looked over to her and saw that she was in pain. His face softened.
"Hey, are you ok?" He asked. "Just peachy." She responded sarcastically. "I'm, Arietta. Now, can you please tell me where we are?" She asked. Rhydian shrugged. "My parents basement." He said, as if it was the most normal thing in the world.
"Um, do you mind telling me why?" She asked impatiently. "They do this often. Are you important?" He asked.
"Sort of. I'm kinda the Princess of the Vinkus." She admitted. Rhydian shrugged again. "Cool." He said simply.
Arietta once again tried to summon her powers, but it only worsened her headache. She wasn't going to wait for them to find her clue. She had to get out of here. Now.
Hahah, I love writing the Arietta and Rhydian parts, it was fun. Hey, does anyone know where I got the name Rhydian from? As always, read and review.
