Wicked: The Next Chapter

Chapter 32

"Elphaba!" Fiyero shouted, shaking me to wake me up.

I woke up, breathing heavy with burn marks on my cheeks.

"Breathe, my love. It's alright," Fiyero said, calmly.

"Fiyero," I said, relieved. "Oh my Oz, Fiyero, thank Oz you're alive!" I got up and embraced him.

"Of course I'm alive.... Fae, what happened?"

"I- I had a terrible dream.... and," I began to cry, "Oh, damn it, tears...."

He gave me a tissue and then held me tight. "It's ok, Fae, I'm here..... Everything's alright."

"Yero.... I was so scared... I- I didn't know what to do."

"It was only a dream, love. Now, come on, Glinda is waiting for us with breakfast."

I nodded and followed Fiyero into the kitchen.

Glinda was awaiting us at the table. "Hi, you two!" She smiled. "I went to pick up Ozbucks and-" she looked at me, saw my burned cheeks, and quickly ran to me. "Elphie, what happened? Are you alright?"

I nodded, "Yeah.... I'm fine now...... It's just.... I had a really bad dream."

"Oh," she hugged me, "I'm sorry about that, Elphie."

"It's ok," I sniffled,"I'm alright."

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah," I nodded.

"Ok... Now, come eat," she smiled, "I got you your favorite with an Ozian Mocha."
