To see Galinda so steadfast was slightly surprising to the green skinned witch. Of course, had she been in her right mind, she wouldn't have been surprised. Galinda could indeed have a backbone when she needed one. She narrowed her eyes a bit and was ready to take the next step since Galinda hadn't heeded the warning. Then the blonde was moving towards her, and taking her hand. Somewhere inside she felt a twinge of emotion at the touch, but she couldn't let it linger there. Just as quickly as she felt the twinge, she buried it under the rage she felt. She jerked her hand out of Galinda's and took a step back from her.
"Don't touch me." She hissed. She wasn't about to let go of the pain. And if Galinda wouldn't take a verbal warning, then she'd take a physical one. "You really should've left when you had the chance." She remembered a spell that shot ice shards. She chanted it and held her hand out, ice shards shooting outwards towards Galinda. While she should have cared that she was attacking her best friend, she didn't. Not at this moment. She was more focused on being left alone, left to her fate. She was acting more and more like the woman she had started turning into in Oz just before she'd gotten pulled into this world. The world that she had originally taken to be a second chance, a place where she could be good. But ever since she'd had that dream, she'd been realizing just how much like Oz this place truly was.
Elphaba wanted no part of another Oz. So there were only two outcomes. Either she'd die so she didn't have to live through another Oz, or she'd take control of the place and mold it into what she wanted it to be. And if that branded her a wicked witch, then so be it. Oz knew she'd take as many lives as were needed to achieve her goals. Though up until now, she didn't have goals aside from causing anarchy. Though at least she hadn't gone and written messages in the sky. She'd sent her message in another, far more dangerous way. And she'd continue on that same path. If she had to make an example of Galinda, then she would.
