The Good Deed

"Even from her towering vantage point, Elphaba did not miss the redness already marring Glinda’s upper arms, the firmness of the guards’ hand prints leaving red imprints in her skin, or the dark purple bruise that had formed on her right cheek, underneath her eye. Sweet Oz, had the guards punched her?"~~When Elphaba sees how rough the guards are with Glinda on the palace tower before she flies away, she decides that she won't leave her friend behind and saves her, taking her along on her journey as a fugitive. Now she can add kidnapping to her ever-growing list of crimes.

A few notes before we begin. Yes, I still intend to update Limited regularly. This little brain-child refused to get out of my head so I had to write her down. If this chapter is well received I will most definitely continue it, as I have ideas for it that I am quite excited about.This fic was born after another rewatch, when I randomly wondered why Elphaba didn't try to save Glinda from the guards, or at least drop her back off at Shiz or something. I know she tried to distract the guards, but the question lingered, and here we are. The guards are rougher with Glinda in this fic than in the movie, but I didn't make it too dark since they don't have her for very long.That's it. Please let me know what you think!
