So, to start off, I would like to thank Doglover645 who has reviewed every chapter of this story, she has also reviewed many chapters of my other stories :). I appreciate all reviewers as well, but Doglover has really shown some support.
Elphaba couldn't see, but behind her a guard was approaching with a sword…
"STOP!" Fiyero took a mighty leap on to the short platform and deflected the sword with his own body just before the man could impale Elphaba. "I won't let you kill her!" Fiyero shouted.
Madame Morrible got involved. "Ah, Fiyero how nice of you to join us!" she cackled evilly. "You know you won't be able to save your little lover."
"Lover? How did you- "
Morrible cut him off "we can kill you just as easily for treason, you know that right?"
Fiyero just stood there, not knowing what to do, but keeping a defiant look on his face, so as not to show any weakness. "Guards!" Morrible shouted. "Seize him!" two Ozian officials took Fiyero by the arms.
Fiyero and Elphaba both thought that all hope was lost for a few seconds, until Glinda took a stand. She floated up in a bubble so that no one could stop her as they did Fiyero. "Fellow Ozians you have been lied to and cheated!" Glinda yelled from her bubble.
"Look, its Glinda!" someone shouted.
"The 'wicked witch' was never really wicked; she was only trying to do the right thing! The wizard has been stripping the Animals of their rights, and forcing them into hiding. She has only been trying to help them, standing up for what was right!" Elphaba smiled up at Glinda knowing how much her best friend was sacrificing for her. Glinda continued her speech. "I was there when Elphaba and I first went to meet the wizard; she was tricked into making innocent monkeys into spies. I only stayed with the wizard because I wanted to be popular. I have been very selfish. I now know that I don't deserve to be titles 'Glinda the good'.
Glinda waited for a reaction. For a few seconds, there was only silence and whispers. That only lasted a few moments, because Morrible burst into outrage. "You pesky little witch!" she yelled to Glinda. "Guards, KILL the wicked witch!" she yelled meaning Elphaba.
The royal guards just simply stood there looking at each other. For a moment, the whole world seemed to stand still. The two men still detained Fiyero, Glinda was still watching from her bubble, and the rest of the Ozian soldiers just stood wondering what the right thing to do was.
Morrible seemed furious and slightly insane at the same time. "What are you thinking? Kill her while you have the chance!" they continued to stand still looking at each other. "Well, if you won't do it, then I will!" Morrible used her powers to create a huge bolt of lightning. It struck Elphaba hard. She slumped over, almost lifelessly.
"ELPHIE!" Glinda floated down in her bubble and untied Elphaba from the ropes. Fiyero struggled away from the soldiers and checked Elphaba's pulse.
"She's alive, but barely." He said. The audience just didn't know what to do at that point. They stood there watching with wide confused eyes.
"You two meddling, insolent menaces!" Morrible shouted. "I will not hesitate to punish the both of you for treason!" before Morrible could do anything too drastic, Glinda waved her wand and a huge bubble appeared around her, Fiyero, and Elphaba. Madame Morrible shot a bolt of lightning at the bubble as it floated away, but because Glinda's bubbles were invincibubbles, they were not affected.
"That was really close!" Glinda said.
"Close! You should have done something before Elphaba could get hurt!" Fiyero yelled angrily.
"Fiyero, I did what I could! I think you are getting overprotective of Elphie." Glinda replied.
Fiyero sighed. "I know… but she almost died! Elphaba! Elphaba, wake up!" the greengir in his arms didn't show any sign of life.
"Glinda, we can't let her die!" Fiyero was getting really frantic.
Glinda steered the bubble her balcony, which was on the opposite side of the palace from where the crowd had gathered to watch the 'witch execution'. Fiyero carried Elphaba, and Glinda opened the French door for them…
Sorry for the shortie, but I wanted to draw out the suspense *cackles evilly* if you don't review, shame on you! :)
