Oz

Chapter Three

Glinda puts her hand on my shoulder and the tile falls back into it's place.

"Lets talk in a different room, so I can get you into a change of clothes," Glinda leads me into a different room, glaring at the man.

There is a fireplace and a couch. Like a living a room. Glinda disappears into a large closet as I sit down on the couch, pondering how I lifted up that tile.

I see a shattered mirror on the left side of the room. I imagine picking up one of the pieces and putting it in it's place. My bracelet glows as the mirror shard moves. Glinda comes out of the closet and I drop the shard.

"I didn't know what colors you liked so I grabbed this one," she holds up a purple and blue dress, "I figured you are about my size. Do you want to wash off before you get dressed?"

"That would be nice," I say. Glinda leads me into large bathroom with a shower and a bathtub. Glinda lays the dress and some undergarments on a chair and leaves with a smile on her face. I listen to see if I can hear the man and her talking.

"Ow! What was that for!" The man yells.

"That was for asking Elphaba if she was wicked!" Glinda yells quietly. I can tell she is trying to hold back anger.

"She got angry and tried to hurt me!" The man says in defense.

"Wizard, saying that to any witch makes them angry. It's something you just don't say. Besides, I have a feeling that she just might be able to help us with Theodora," Glinda says that right before I turn the water on for my shower. I have a feeling that I shouldn't touch the water but I get in anyway. As I shower, my hair turns a lighter color. It must have been paint, just like my skin.

After I get dressed in the gown Glinda got me I look in the mirror. I look so innocent, it feels like I've never looked this way in my life.

I walk out into the living space we were in before. Glinda isn't there yet, so I sit on the couch and wait. I hear voices from outside the room, "Please! Can I see her please?" It sounds like a little girl.

"Not right now she-" Glinda tries to speak gets interrupted.

"Please! Let me see her! I want to see her!" The girl begs again but I guess this time Glinda gives in. The door opens and I hear little fragile footsteps run in, followed by Glinda's.

Something climbs onto the armrest of the couch. A little china girl, "Hi!" I say smiling at the little girl. I hold my hand out to her, but she turns away.

"She's a little shy," Glinda sits next to me and eyes my bracelet, "Did you know that you had powers before you came here?" I shake my head, "Well if I understand correctly, those are not all the powers you have. I can do that, fly and have power over the air."

"Wow. That's remarkable," I compliment her. Glinda blushes.

"My sisters each have a power but no one yet has the power my mother loved. The power to reach into people's bodies and heal them. My mother healed my father's broken heart. When he died my youngest sister was sent away as a baby, I think she might have that power," She explains to me. She's implying that you're her sister!

"So you want to see if I have that power, then?" I ask. Glinda nods and I sigh, "Ok, how do I do this?"
