Hi everyone! I am super sorry this took so long! I have been very busy lately (Reading fanfictions non-stop). Anyways, I finally decided I needed to get this posted. So here is chapter 15!

Chapter 15

Elphaba just laid there in Fiyero's arms, crying her eyes out. It had been at least ten minutes since she had admitted her father's hatred towards her. "Shh, it's okay Fae. Everything's going to be okay." Fiyero whispered to her, stroking her long raven hair. "B-but it's not okay!" Elphaba cried, looking up at him. "I understand..." Fiyero began, but was cut off by Elphaba. "No, you don't understand! How could you possibly understand? You grew up loved, cared for, you had everything you could ever want! Me? I lived my life in fear. Unloved and unwanted all because of the color of my skin and my horrible powers!" Elphaba yelled at him, burrying her face in a pillow.

Before Fiyero could say anything, Elphaba chanted a spell and the world went blank for a moment. A few moments later, Elphaba, Fiyero and Daphne didn't seem to be in Elphaba's room anymore. While Fiyero was completely confused, Daphne seemed to know what was going on. She immediately got up and ran to Elphaba, hugging her tightly. "What's going on?" Fiyero asked. "Her memories." Daphne muttered, not letting go of Elphaba.

If Elphaba was going to have to see her memories once again, Daphne was going to be with her this time. They all looked up when a giggling sound rang through the room. A tiny little green girl skipped down the stairs. "Daddy! It's my birthday!" She squealed. Then all of the sudden, it seemed as if the room had darkened. Frex yelled at the little four-year old girl, beating her terribly.

Elphaba was breathing heavily, trying to stop herself from bursting into tears again. She felt Daphne's arms tighten around her. This was one of Elphaba's worst memories, but this was the first spell that came to mind so she didn't have to tell Fiyero about the memory, being able to show it to him instead.

Fiyero's fists clenched as Frex yelled at four-year old Elphaba about how she was a mistake, sinful, ugly, and all those other insults. How could any father do these things to his own daughter? Especially at such a young age?

The memories didn't stop there, though. All of the sudden, the scene changed. "The baby's coming!" the midwife cried. "Now!?" Frex asked, confused that the baby was being born already. "I see a nose!" "I see a curl!" "It's a perfect, healthy, lovely little...AHHH!" They both suddenly screamed. "What? What's wrong?" Melena asked, scared at what Frex and the midwife might say.

"How can it be?" The midwife cried. "It's atrocious!" Frex added, horrified at the sight. "Can somebody please tell me what in Oz is going on?" Melena demanded. "The baby...the baby is naturally...GREEN!" Both Frex and the Midwife said the last part.

Silence filled the room. "Take it away. Take it away!" Frex yelled, immediately hating baby Elphaba for the fact that she was green.

Fiyero was horrified that Frex would hate Elphaba so much from the first second he set eyes on her. Once again, the scene changed. This scene was very similar the the previous, except very different at the same time. Elphaba, who looked to be three years old by now, was peaking her little head through the door, wanting to see what was going on.

There was so much blood, and Melena's painful screams filled the room. Suddenly, the screams stopped. "Mommy?" Elphaba whispered, seeing that Melena was no longer moving. Frex, who was holding the newborn baby Nessarose, turned to look at the little green girl. It was obvious that he was extremely angry for something.

"Your mother is dead, you monster! She's dead because of you! And just to add to that, your beautiful little sister is crippled as well! Nessarose will never walk all because of you!" Frex yelled at Elphaba. "W-what did I do?" Elphaba asked, backing out of the room. "You were born! That's what you did! If you had never been born, Melena would still be alive and Nessa would be able to walk like everyone else!" Frex gave baby Nessa to the midwife, grabbed Elphaba's arm and dragged her out of the room.

After they were safely hidden in Elphaba's tiny closet of a room, Frex struck Elphaba hard across the face. Elphaba screamed, falling to the floor. "You awful creature! I should just lock you in here to die! The world would certainly be a better place without you!" Frex shouted. "I-i'm sorry, father!" Elphaba whimpered, cowering in fear in the corner. "Don't you dare call me that! I will not have myself and your sister be disgraced by you! I will not be the father on a green monster like yourself!" And with that, Frex beat Elphaba until she had fallen unconscious. The little green girl laid on the floor, bruises covering her whole body.

"Stupid child." Frex muttered before walking out of the room and locking the door so Elphaba couldn't get out when she regained consciousness.

Fiyero looked over at Elphaba once again. The green girl was shaking violently, trying to keep herself from screaming. Fiyero had never known just how bad Elphaba's childhood had really been. She couldn't even watch a memory without completely freaking out! He walked over to Elphaba, who was being comforted by Daphne, and wrapped his arms around her. Elphaba didn't respond to this.

Fiyero suddenly realized the memories didn't stop there. Another memory was shown, then another, and another. Ephaba's past was flashing before their very eyes. Within seconds, Elphaba was screaming as if she was being beat that very second instead of just watching herself being hurt. "N-no! Stop! Please!" Elphaba pleaded to nobody in particular.

She clutched her head, screaming at the top of her lungs. She screamed none-stop until she had lost her voice. Fiyero and Daphne had been trying to get her to calm down, but they changed their minds after awhile, deciding that she had every right to be so terrified.

After awhile, the memories ceased and they were back in Elphaba's room. Even though the memories were gone, Elphaba continued to hypervenolate. "Shh, it's alright. It's over. The visions are over." Fiyero whispered, laying Elphaba down on her bed. She was exhausted. "Now you know." Elphaba whispered, tears in her eyes.

"It's okay, Fae. You're safe. He can't hurt you anymore. Just go to sleep. I'll be right here the whole time." Fiyero said, pulling Elphaba's blanket up to her chin. "You won't leave me?" Elphaba asked, her eyes barely open. "Never." He assured her. And with that, Elphaba fell fast asleep.

Madison sat outside on a bench, reading a book. Ever since she had stopped talking to Daphne, she had had a lot more time for her books. She had to admit, she was lonely. You know, not having a best friend to hang around with.

She suddenly turned, hearing someone sit down on the other end of the bench. "I'm not bothering you, am I?" She asked, a little worried that Madison wanted to be alone right now. She was tall, with black hair, and had pink glasses perched on the bridge of her nose. "No, you're fine. I was kinda bored, anyways." Madison sighed, putting her book down. "My name's Nia." The girl introduced herself, holding her hand out to shake Madison's hand. "Madison." Madison said, shaking Nia's hand.

Nia noticed the sadness in Madison's eyes. "What's wrong?" She asked. "My best friend recently left me for the artichoke." Madison muttered, not feeling the need to call Elphaba by her real name. "Seriously? But she's...green." Nia had a look of disgust on her face. "I know, right? I don't get it. Ever since Daphne, my ex-best friend, met her, she's been going on about how the artichoke had a hard childhood and how she was bullied her whole life. Really, I personally think the artichoke has been lying to Daphne to gain her sympathy." Madison said. She was worried about Daphne. What if Elphaba was planning on hurting her?

"I wouldn't be surprised if she was lying. From what I've seen, the artichoke is the master of mischief and lies. She could easily pull off a lie like that." Nia muttered. "I just hope she's okay. Daphne seems happy, but you never know." Madison said. "You know, if you want a friend, I'd be willing to be your friend." Nia smiled at her. She had been needing to make some friends here anyways, so might as well make one now.

"Really? That would be wonderful! I'd love to be your friend!" Madison squealed, hugging her new friend. Nia chuckled. "You're welcome, Maddy." She said. Madison suddenly pulled back, looking annoyed. "Don't call me that! I hate nicknames!" She scowled at her. "Really? Okay, if that's what you want, I'll just continue to call you Madison." Nia agreed to give up on the nickname.

"Thanks. I'd appreciate that." Madison softened up a bit at that. "Wanna go shopping?" Nia asked. "Sure! Let's go." Madison smiled. After that, the new best friends got up and walking towards the nearby village.

I hope you all enjoyed chapter 15! Nia, you owe me an update on Seeing the Light!

Hey, Megan? How close was my version in Nia to real Nia? I'm asking you because I know you've got to know Nia really well!

Brooms, bubbles, and hugs
