Oz

Chapter Ten

Sometimes, I think Chistery can read my mind. He knew that he could do something no one else could so he did it. That's why I like animals and Animals better then people. I distract Galinda, Fiyero, and Theodora by asking then to check Chistery for frostbite and injuries. (Most people have a soft spot for small a(A)nimals)I look for Glinda from the window. This changes my whole plan.

Snow falls heavily as I hold the window open so it blocks the blowing snow from hitting my skin. I see something in the distance and drop my broom out the window. I will it to go towards the flying object and lead it here. The snow falls hard, limiting my vision. Soon enough my broom is back in the room, but I don't dare to touch it's wet handle. A gigantic bubble slowly comes closer and closer as if struggling against the wind.

I turn to see a horrific sight, "There she is! The Wicked Witch is still alive!" Boq comes close to the mirror. I knew I couldn't trust that Tin Man (I had nearly forgotten about the magicked mirror), "She kidnapped Glinda!"

I stand frozen, overwhelmed with information. My brain tries to process it all. How can you get rid of the mirror? Break it. I pick up the mirror and throw it against the wall. Shards of the mirror fly. Breaking a mirror is like 7 years of bad luck isn't it? Well, being alive is bad luck for me...

"My frie-sister is here to pick you up," I grab a pair of gloves out of my cloak pocket and hand them to Theodora, "You'll need them," I open the large window to see Glinda in her bubble with her wand. I've been missing her. She is the only sibling I have had that actually appreciates and loves me. My brother, Shell, never really knew me.

The look of worry on Glinda's face is immediately replaced with love when she sees me. I turn to Galinda, Theodora, and Fiyero, "Theodora, you can take my broom if you like. My cloak is all yours Gali-" Galinda interrupts me.

"Hold on Elphaba! You're not coming? Then I'm staying too!" she yells at me. Once stubborn, always stubborn, "You can't leave me again! Please! I just found you!" I was never really able to resist her begging.

"Fine! Galinda, just promise me you won't do anything stupid," I try to think it through.

"I can't promise anything," she states with a smirk on her face. I walk to the window and give Glinda a smile telling we are ready. Theodora and Fiyero will ride my broom far enough away so Glinda can surround them in bubbles.

"My sister Glinda is here to take you to the Emerald City," I say to Fiyero. I watch them get on the broom and fly out the open window.

"Wait you have a sister with the same name as me?" Galinda always has to make everything about herself.

"Her name is Glinda. You are Galinda. There is a difference," I open the door a crack to see if anyone is in the hallway.

Galinda closes the door and makes me turn around, "What's wrong with you Elphaba? Can you not decide to love me or hate me?"

"I just don't know how to feel about anything right now. I promise I'll tell you when we get to the Emerald City how I feel about you being here," I open the door again and step out. There's no one in the hallway so we advance towards the staircase. Evenora is downstairs pacing.

I turn to Galinda and put my finger to my lips as a shut up or I'll kill you sign. Galinda is holding the Grimmerie.

Glinda had taught me how to use my powers before I ran away. I focus on an umbrella in the corner of the room and make it fly towards us, we (I) are going to need it. I catch it silently and hand it to Galinda. Now for the hard part.
