It's been a loooong time since I've drawn something from mecelphie's story. I'm so far behind! Anyway, this is from the trip along the Holiday Trail. Enjoy!

“I’m here Elphie.” Glinda said quietly and calmly as she lowered herself to the ground beside her love.

She had been angry, concerned and in tears since Kecin showed up at the gingerbread house demonstration and told them what he knew. She ran ahead of her mother, Aunt and cousin, knowing that her father and Bitra were already in the clearing, but little else. When she saw Elphie on the ground with them beside her, she was able to settle enough to stop crying, even though she could feel Elphie tumultuous emotions as soon as she entered the clearing.

“It’s okay now Elphie.” Glinda said as she gently stroked Elphie’s cheek.

“I tried to leave, to just walk away.” Elphie said so quietly Glinda had to strain to hear her.

“I talked to myself and tried not to panic. But he kept moving in front of me. Then he shoved me. I fell, it hurt and he was there over me, just
like before. I was so terrified that it was going to happen again. I almost just gave in Lyndie, I was hurt and cold and frightened. But I heard you in my head and I smelled herbs, the herbs were familiar. I remembered everything Chaxi told me about latching on and I did.”

“That’s my girl. That’s my brave, wonderful girl.” Glinda whispered as she continued to stroke Elphie’s cheek trying very hard to curb her own emotions and ignore the heated words from behind her.

“But we should get you up off this cold ground my love.” Elphie nodded and tried to get up with Glinda’s help. But she felt the pain in her leg and back and sank back to the ground.

“It hurts.” Elphie grimaced.
