Hello peoples! Yes, I know that's grammatically incorrect... Eh, who cares! So, this is the last chapter of this story and umm, well, let's just say, you're not going to like me. This story doesn't have a sad ending, but it doesn't exactly have a happy one... Sorry! I had to do it like this to set up for the sequel. Yes, there will be a sequel! Expect one soon!
Doglover645: I'm updating. But if you don't update, that sequel will take a lot longer than regularly planned!
WickedFrenchHorn: Yeah, a lot of things make sense now. Not all of it, though...
Queen Elsa The Snow Queen: I agree. Elphaba's going to freak.
Hope: Yeah, it might not end so well... I updated. Your turn. Because there are other things that might not end so well if you don't...
iamgoku: Are you on your way to Cambodia yet? I hope you have fun! And yeah, I actually considered bringing the twin back to make people happy, but I'm not going to, it wouldn't make any sense.
Disclaimer: It's been twenty chapters. Take a hint.
"What." Elphaba asked, shocked. Arietta cringed, this was not going to be easy...
"Elphaba, do you remember the day that lunatic you call a father came to Shiz?" She asked.
"Yes. I remember." Elphaba responded sourly.
"Well, when he pushed me out of the way, I kinda, maybe, sorta saw a.. Vision?" She offered. Elphaba gaped at her.
"What exactly did that 'Vision' show you." She asked, eyes narrowing. Arietta gulped. "I-I saw your mom." She began. Elphaba gaze softened. "And!" She demanded.
"The Wizard. Together." She said.
Elphaba's eyes flared. "Are you accusing my mother of cheating on my father?" She growled.
Arietta bit her lower lip. "Technically the Wizard is your father. I'm saying she cheated on Frex." The brunette cleared up. Galinda, Cierrah, and Fiyero watched this with curiosity. Rhydian shrugged, not really knowing what they were talking about.
"Arietta-"
"Elphie, it does make sense." Galinda piped up. Elphaba fixed her glare on the blonde. "It explains why you have powers. You were a child from two worlds."
"Fae." Fiyero said. "I get that you don't want to accept this, I do. But, can't you just be open to the idea? I'm particularly pleased that you're not related to that monster."
"No, I'm related to another monster. Who locked us up in a basement!" Elphaba yelled.
"My parents basement." Rhydian acknowledged.
"Yes, we've established that." Arietta said, glaring at him.
"I don't believe you." Elphaba told her. Arietta sighed. "You don't believe me. You don't believe me." She said.
"No, I don't. You've told enough lies." Arietta looked at her incredulously. "You know what, Elphaba? Your just scared. You put up a wall to keep people out. I didn't have a choice. You do. I saw the The Wizard and your mom in the vision. The Wizard offered Melena a drink from an elixir. A green elixir. So, please, just go and touch the door so we can get out of this musky basement." Rhydian opened his mouth. "Rhydian I swear, if you say that it's your parents basement one more time, I will personally risk getting caught again just to punch you in the face!" She ranted.
"Ok. Fine, but how do we get out of these stupid restraints. They're magic-free!" Elphaba said. Arietta thought for a moment. Then a smile crept it's way onto her face. She closed her eyes and the magic ropes swirled their way off of everyone.
"H-how did you do that!" Galinda squealed.
"Telekinesis! The magic powers it, but it's still there." Arietta explained. Elphaba walked up to the door and touched it. Instantly, it swung open and they all gaped at it.
"So it's true." Elphaba whispered.
"I'm sorry." Arietta said. All six of them walked up the stairs quietly. A door was open ajar and looking inside Arietta saw her locket.
"What's that doing here?" She asked. "Shouldn't it be with Cierrah's dad?"
"Unless it wasn't Cierrah's dad who shot you." Fiyero said. They all looked at him. "What? I can be smart!" He said defensively.
"The voice was disguised." Arietta closed her eyes. She saw herself and the shooter. Everything went by in slow motion. "Show me your face!" She yelled at it. The shooter laughed. A feminine laugh. She took of the cloak. It was Morrible.
"It was Morrible! She shot me! But, why would she need the necklace?" Arietta queried. Stepping inside she snatched it off the table. "Come on, let's go."
They crept up to the ground level and when they found nothing, they reached for the next door. "Going so soon?" An icy voice asked. They whirled around. Oscar, Morrible, Mr. and Mrs. Serkoni were standing there an unfamiliar red haired girl was with them.
"You don't have to go, you know. You can stay here and rule with us." Morrible continued. "Never." Elphaba spat out. Morrible waved her hand carelessly.
"Have it your way." She said.
"Vehronica!" Rhydian called helplessly. "Please don't do this."
The unfamiliar girl, apparently named Vehronica, rolled her eyes and cackled. "Who's going to stop me? I never liked you anyways! Little brothers are supposed to be fun to torture!" She said. Elphaba linked her hand with Arietta's. They closed their eyes. A strange force pushed the Order members away and the six friends escaped outside.
Arietta took a piece of paper out from her pocket. "It's a page from the Grimmerie. I found it next to my locket."
"We can't go!" Galinda protested. "He's The Wizard Of Oz!"
"He has no real power! It's his fault that the Animals are being oppressed. I'd rather die than help him!" Elphaba shouted out. "I'm leaving. If anyone is coming with me, just say so."
"I'm going too!" Arietta said. Elphaba shook her head. "No, you can't. You have to stay here." She said. "You're the Princess of the Vinkus. You need to be with Fiyero."
"But-"
"I'm sorry, Aria." Elphaba said. "You have to stay here. Tell the Wizard you'll work with him. Just stay safe. Galinda? Are you coming?" She asked. The blonde shook her head.
"I'm sorry Elphie." She said. "I'm not going either."
"Fine. I'll just go by myself then!" She began to chant under her breath. A nearby broom floated over to her and she mounted it, flying off. Arietta smiled. She'll be ok, she'll be ok.
"What's going to happen to her." Fiyero asked. He wanted to go with her, but he knew he couldn't.
"She'll be ok." Arietta reassured him.
She'll be ok. She'll be ok.
And that, my dear readers, is the end of this story. Yup, I'm ending it here! But there will be a sequel, so don't fret! Now, shoo, shoo! Go review! (Heheh, that rhymes!) I don't know what the sequel will be called yet, but I do know what it will be about so expect it soon! And it will have a LOT more Fiyeraba than this one!
