With each passing moment, it seemed, Elphaba fell more and more into madness. The downward spiral seemed to have no end, but that was only perhaps because somewhere in her mind, she realized that if she stopped herself, she'd realize what she'd done. And then she'd have to deal with the pain that Lucifer left behind. Not wanting to deal with the pain, Elphaba had stayed on the path that would almost certainly lead to her death. She knew she could take on a small group of witch hunters, but if a large group of powerful people came from the complex, she wasn't so sure she could defeat them. But that matter wasn't on her mind at the moment.
What was on her mind was the young girl she'd kidnapped that morning. This time, she was geared up to kill the girl, not just burn her severely. Elphaba was paging through the Grimmerie, looking for any good spell to use. The spells that she'd learned from Bonnie and the other witches here, she'd written down and stuck in the book. Every once in a while, she'd pull out a piece of paper and read what spell was there. As she went, she grumbled a bit, not happy that she couldn't find a spell she wanted to use. Simply burning the girl would be too easy, and she wanted something a little more creative, a little more destructive to kill her.
"Oh for Oz sakes," she grumbled. Stepping away from the Grimmerie, she started pacing back and forth, something she always did when she was agitated. She needed to think, to find a good spell. She glanced over at the girl, who was bound and gagged, sitting in a corner. Knowing that when this girl's body would be found, it would cause a ruckus and people would come to kill her, Elphaba knew she had to go out with a bang. Just then, she stopped pacing as she got an idea. She went back over to her book of spells and flipped through the pages until she got to a spell she'd gotten since being in this world. A cruel little smile curved her lips, this spell would work. She glanced over at the girl. "It won't be long now. I have the perfect spell for you." She was oblivious to the fact Galinda had found her and was all ready there. She was so focused on her plans for the girl. Startling her would be a bad idea, but most things at this time would've been a bad idea. Elphaba was a loose canon.
