Summary
Before he could give an order, before he could draw breath enough to command silence, a gunshot split the air.
The crack rang through him like a physical blow. For the smallest fraction of a second, he thought it was his own body that had been pierced, that the shock and the ache in his chest were the bite of a bullet. His hand even flew to his sternum as if expecting to feel blood.
And then he saw her.
Elphaba.
Her frame jerked, twisted, the force of the shot stealing her balance. The world seemed to slow to a cruel crawl — her arms flung out, her hair catching the sunlight in a wild tangle, her face half-turned as if to look for him, though he knew she could not have known he was there.
And then she fell.
or,
in the chaos of battle, Fiyero hears the shot before he sees her fall — Elphaba, struck down in the sunlight, her body folding as if the world itself had betrayed her. For a heartbeat, he thinks the pain is his own. For the rest of his life, it will be; the Wicked Witch is dead - but he would make sure that Elphaba would survive.
