I awoke in my bedroom that I had in the castle. I got up and walked around, no one was here. They left, but why? Where'd they go?
"Stupid Witch! If it wasn't for her I would be ruling Oz right now!" Said an Old Man barging through the front doors.
"Excuse me, Sir? Who are you?" I asked.
"No one believes that the Witch of the West will ruin Oz! Instead they believe that I will ruin this city!" He ranted on. "How dare she say such things of me. I have done nothing but made her a success. Elphaba's daughter will pay for what she has said. I'll make sure of that." He opened a book. "Just because you're the most powerful witch in Oz doesn't mean you deserve to be queen."
"Hello? Can you hear me?" I asked waving my hand in front of his face.
"Now, where is that spell?"
He can't hear or see me. Where am I? What happened to me? Who is he?
"I am Isaias Quillam AND I will rule all of Oz!"
I nearly lost my balance. It can not be... I mean, I knew he was old but this guy is ancient. What is going on?
"This wasn't suppose to happen." A voice from behind said as time seemed to stop. "He was you're right hand man. You trusted him."
I turned around, seeing an old friend who died too young, "Great and powerful..." I said in shocked. "If I trusted him so much, why is he acting like a mad man?"
"He has been feeding himself lies. Lies that convinced him that you would be giving him the throne to rule Oz when you died, but you had a child and everything changed." Liir said.
"I'm dreaming aren't I? This can't possible be real."
"When you struck yourself by lightening, you put yourself into a coma. Zedekiah's okay." Liir said. "This was your future Filía but Quillam corrupted himself so much that it drove him mad. He blames you for the promises that don't even exist."
"He mentions Elphaba as the Witch of the West. Was she not considered Wicked?"
"No, she wasn't born green in this future. The fake Wizard never appeared. Your mother practiced magic, Mama Yackle was very favored and she didn't hide her son."
"She had a son?"
"He was your father. Actually, Mama Yackle was Queen of Oz, your father was the prince. Your parents married and took their position on the throne then you came along."
"Most powerful Witch in Oz... Who did I marry?"
"You married Aaron but the child wasn't his."
"What do you mean?" I asked.
"Your parents, more your father, arranged for you to marry Aaron. You didn't approve. You loved someone else... You were pregnant while engaged to Aaron. When your parents and Aaron found out, you were married quickly. Making everyone believe that the child was Aaron's."
"Who was the child's father?"
"No one knows."
"Surely someone does."
"You were very thorough in keeping it a secret."
"How can I stop Quillam?"
"You can't do what he did, unpredictable things will happen, it could destroy Oz. You're going to have to kill him in the timeline that he is in now."
"First I have to wake up."
"Yes, that might be a while." He said as I just looked at him, compelling him to just tell me. "You put yourself into a coma. The only way out is to remember who you are."
"Great... Just great."
-Zedekiah's POV-
I dabbed the rag against her forehead. She started to get a fever about twenty minutes ago. Come on Filía wake up. Wake up.
"Are you ever going to get proper rest? Sleeping in a chair has got to be really uncomfortable." Aaron said. "You can trust me."
"Like I trusted you in finding her?" He hung his head. "I know what you're doing, you're being nice to me for her. You're trying to win her over. Let me tell you something, it's hard to win someone over when their heart is already owned by someone else."
"I bet she'll fell the same when she hears you're dreaming about Nessa. Dreaming about the sibling that'll hurt, especially when you loved her first."
"What is this really about Aaron? Please tell me."
"Why would I tell you?"
"Because you're sister is dead. Nessa is dead. You're not the only one who mumbles in their sleep, Aaron. You loved Nessa, didn't you? She never knew you existed and when she finally did she wanted nothing to do with you, but Filía, she noticed you. It was enough for you to fall in love with her wasn't it?"
"You think you have it all figured out don't you?" He said aggressively. "Not only are you annoying but you're also a shrink, wonderful."
I couldn't help but chuckle.
"Did I say something funny?" He asked.
"Filía told me the same thing when I offered to help. I said that I'm a really good observer."
"What was her reply?" He asked as calmly as he could.
"You can't save everybody; some people just aren't worth saving. She was wrong though, she is worth saving." I stood up, laying the damp rag across her forehead.
"I don't understand, she didn't say anything about herself in that statement."
"She was referring to herself. I saw it in her eyes; she didn't think she was worth saving. I'm glad Liir saved her when he did otherwise Oz would be enslaved today."
Sorry this has taken so long. I have been extremely busy these last couple months. Any how, new chapter! XD Please Review and let me know what you think! I have missed you all!
