[size=36pt]Chapter 5
(Seen from Elphaba's point of view)[/size]

I hoped Niella was doing alright at Shiz. Unfortunately, it was impossible to sent any letters to her or contact her in any way. It was just too dangerous. Suddenly, I heard a knock at the door. I gasped. Had someone found me? I quickly grabbed my enchanted broomstick in case it was someone who wanted to hurt me before I ran to the door and looked out the peak hole. "Who goes their?" I called from behind the door. It was hard to see anything threw the tiny hole in the door. I opened the door a little so I could see out. "Oh, Elphie! It's good to see you again!" I familiar perky voice said from outside. My eyes widened. Elphie was a name I hadn't heard in a long time. "G-glinda? I-is that you?" I asked, all the memories of my old friend coming back to me. "Yes. But you have to let me in now!" Glinda said. She sounded really urgent. I opened the door all the way to see Glinda. She was holding something in her arms that was shaking violently. But when I looked closer, I screamed. "Niella!" I cried, grabbing her from Glinda's arms. I almost fainted when I saw Niella was completely green. "No! this can't be happening!" I cried. I grabbed Glinda's hand and pulled her inside before closing the door. I placed my daughter down on the floor. "W-what happened?" I asked Glinda. "I'm not sure. I found her in her room back at Shiz, and she was shaking. Then when I got a better look at her, she was turning green! I'm sorry, but when I saw the green, I pretty much forced her to tell me if you were her mother. I'm not sure what caused the transformation." Glinda explained. "Hurry! Give me the Grimmerie!" I said, knowing Glinda had to have it with her. She grabbed the spell book out of her bag and handed it to me. I frantically flipped threw the pages, looking for a spell to get Niella to stop shaking and be in not as much pain. "You can't use the Grimmerie on her! Whenever you try to cast a spell on a human, it always ends up transforming them into something else!" Glinda exclaimed. "I have no choice! I have to help her!" I said. I soon got frustrated, unable to figure out which spell would work. Then I remembered how over the years I was in hiding, I created a spell to help me find things easily. I touched the book, making it glow. When I took my hand off the book, it immediately flipped to a spell. I didn't know what the spell would do, but I had to trust my powers. "Tera via, tera vio, tyu kellah mevah..." I chanted the spell in the book. As I finished, Niella stopped shaking. "Sweet Oz, it worked!" Glinda cried. I breathed a sigh of relief, knowing Niella would be okay now. "Thank you Glinda. Thank you for bringing her home." I said. "Your welcome Elphie." Glinda said, hugging me tight. There was a few minutes of silence after that. "You know, she's so much like you Elphaba. From the moment I first met her, she reminded me so much of you. Did you know she can read the Grimmerie?" Glinda asked. "SHE CAN READ THE GRIMMERIE!!!" I practically screamed. Glinda covered her ears. "Well...yes. I caught her reading it earlier today. I actually thought she was you when I heard her use the spell. It was the same levitation spell you used to enchant those moneys and your broom." Glinda explained. "I never thought she had any magic in her. Whenever I would try to teach her a spell, she just doesn't seem to understand what I'm saying." I told her. "Maybe she doesn't understand regular spells. Somehow, I think it might be easier for her to understand the spells written in the lost language of spells. When I asked her how she was able to read that spell, she told me it just came naturally to her." Glinda explained. I sighed. "Maybe your right." I said. "You know whats been bothering me ever since I found out Niella was your daughter? How did you manage to survive all those years ago? I watched as you melted away!" Glinda said. "I guess I'm gonna have to tell you the story now that you know. Well, remember that letter I got about Fieyro saying we would never see his face again? I didn't tell you everything that was on that letter. It was from Fieyro. When he was captured by the wizard's guards, I used a spell from the Grimmerie to turn him into a scarecrow so they couldn't hurt him. So thats what he meant by 'we had seen his face for the last time'. The letter also had a plan on it that would save my life. When that little girl threw the bucket of water at me, I didn't really melt. I had used my powers to transport me to the tunnels under the castle. Then I waited their till Fieyro came back for me. After that, we both came here and never went back to Oz." I explained the whole story. "So...does that mean...Fieyro us here too?" Glinda asked. I started crying. "No! He disappeared a year ago! I searched everywhere in this land and I didn't find a trace of him!" I cried. Glinda hugged me close. "Oh, I'm so sorry Elphie! Forgive me for asking!" She said. "I-it's alright. I-i had to t-tell you at some p-point." I said, fighting back tears. "Shh...You need to rest. Your probably exhausted." Glinda said. I nodded before closing my eyes and falling asleep...
