Dean kept his eyes closed until he felt something hard under him. He opened his eyes and saw his was on the ground. Dean signed with relief until he heard a flap of wings behind him. He turned and saw the two winged monkeys going out of the window. Without hesitation, Dean ran and grabbed one of the winged monkey's tails and pulled it with all his strength. However the winged monkey was stronger and with his tail he raised Dean off the ground. He swished his tail causing the older Winchester to go flying into the wall. The winged monkeys chuckled and they both climbed out of the window and flew off.
Dean groaned as he rubbed his head "Curse them bastards." He thought. He got up and looked round at his surroundings. He was in a small room with nothing in it but just the walls. The room reminded Dean of a medieval dungeon. Dean turned and walked towards the window where the winged monkeys flew out of. He leaned out and gulped when he saw how high up he was. There was no way he was getting out of this one. Dean hoped that nothing happened to Sam back in the forest and that he was on his way ready to get him out of here.
"Did you enjoy the ride?"
Dean quickly turned and saw the Wicked Witch standing there with a smirk on her face. "I been on worse." He answers.
She walked over to him with the grin still remaining on her face "Now sweetie you know why your here."
"Let me guess you want the boots."
"That's right."
"Well I would love to take these boots off but unfortunately I can't."
"Oh you will. I will make sure of it." The Wicked Witch goes down until she was eye to eye with the boots "I been waiting for this moment." As her hand goes near the boot, she received an electric shock "OWW" she says in shock as she gets back up "WHAT...HOW"
Dean grins "I assume the boots don't like you."
The Wicked Witch did a face palm "Of course silly me I forgot those boots will stay on you until you die."
"Come again."
The Wicked Witch grins "When my sister Wicked Witch of the East wore them boots, they refused to come off her feet. However when she died, the boots were able to come off so do you know what that means."
"What"
"I have to kill you."
Dean got into action "I don't think so."
"Watch me honey." The Wicked Witch created a fireball and aimed it in Dean's direction."Prepare to burn." She threw the fireball and suddenly a force field appeared in front of the older Winchester. Confusion appeared on both the Wicked Witch and Dean's face. The fireball bounced off the force field and turned towards the Wicked Witch and went towards her. The Wicked Witch quickly raised her hand and the fireball went into her hand and vanished.
"What the hell was that?" Dean says.
The Wicked Witch signs "It's the bloody boots it seems it protects you from any supernatural force."
"But your sister"
"She died in an accident nothing supernatural was involved so the boots don't protect her from that."
Dean smirks "I think I should keep these boots and bring them on hunts with me." Then Dean furrowed his eyebrows "Wait why didn't they protect me when one of your winged monkeys punched me."
"That is because no supernatural force was involved. They just punched you they didn't use magic."
"Oh"
"But you did get affected by the poppies and that involved some magic so it seems you get protected when power or magic directly attacks you like when I used my fireball." The Wicked Witch grins "I got an idea be right back." The Wicked Witch opens the door and walks out and locks it behind her.
Five minutes later
"I'm back." The Wicked Witch says as she opens the door and closes it behind her. She held up an hourglass causing Dean to frown.
"What's that supposed to do?"
"This is an hourglass. As soon as I turn this around the countdown will begin."
"Countdown"
"Yes countdown to your death." She giggled "As soon as all the sand reaches the bottom, you would get a pain in your chest a very unpleasant pain. Then you would experience a shortness of breath and your heart would be beating faster and faster and then BOOM your dead."
"How do you know the boots won't protect me?"
"You will die from a heart attack and a heart attack is a natural death the boots can't protect you from that."
Dean laughs "You know I can just easily smash that hourglass out of your green hands."
Suddenly a table appears in the room and the Wicked Witch places the hourglass on the table and grins "Go on try and smash it." Dean looked at her suspiciously and then he walked over to the table. He looked down at the hourglass. The Wicked Witch pointed at the hourglass "Come on then what you waiting for." As Dean was about to touch the hourglass, he received an electric shock causing him to back away.
"Oww son of a bitch"
The Wicked Witch laughs "You're not only one who can do electric shocks." She suddenly turns over the hourglass and the sand started pouring down causing Dean to swallow with nerves. "The countdown has began." She walks to the door "Enjoy your last hour of life." She opens the door and walks out locking it behind her.
Dean cringed at those last words it reminded him when he had his countdown to hell. He walked over to the door with rage and he started hitting and kicking the door but it was no use Dean was trapped. Dean slid down the door and stared at the hourglass with dread "Please hurry up Sam I need you."
Back in the Haunted Forest
"Sam wake up"
"Sam please don't be dead"
"His not dead his unconscious"
"Are you sure"
"Yes I'm sure look his breathing"
"Oh... Sam please wake up"
"Sam you have to wake up your brother needs you."
Sam eyes snapped open at that part. He groaned as he looks up and sees his companions signing with relief.
"Sam you're alive." The Cowardly Lion says with a smile.
"I told you he was alive you idiot." The Scarecrow says
"What what happened?" Sam asks weakly.
"You were unconscious for quite a while we been here the whole time keeping an eye on you."
Sam looked confused but then everything hit him which caused him to sit bolt upright "Dean we need to get to Dean."
"Whoa there you just woke up." The Cowardly Lion says. Sam ignored him and he got up. Dizziness took over him and he started to sway to the side. The Cowardly Lion dropped the Scarecrow's head and caught him "Easy Sam you need to rest for a second you can't go like that to save your brother."
"His right" The Scarecrow says "In the current state you're in there is no chance you can rescue your brother."
Sam shakes his head "I'm fine the dizziness only lasted a second."
There was suddenly rustling coming from the bushes causing them all to get into action. "Don't it's only me." A voice called out. The Tin Woodman stepped out of the bushes causing the Scarecrow and the Cowardly Lion to gasp.
"Tin Woodman, oh thank goodness." The Scarecrow cried out.
"How did you get yourself up?" The Cowardly Lion asks.
The Tin Woodman laughs a little "It's a long story." He then looked at the Scarecrow with a puzzled expression "What happened to you?"
"Winged monkeys" The Scarecrow answers "Shredded me to bits as you can see." The Tin Woodman looked round and saw the mess.
"Shredded you can say that again." The Tin Woodman says he then became puzzled again "Where's Dean?"
"The winged monkeys took him." Sam answers.
The Tin Woodman's eyes widen "Then we must rescue him."
"Yeah but Sam is not in the right state at the moment." The Cowardly Lion says.
Sam starts to get impatient "I'm fine"
"You don't look fine." The Tin Woodman says "I can just about see a bruise under your makeup."
"That was probably from the punch." The Scarecrow says.
The Tin Woodman frowns "I'm so sorry I wasn't quick enough."
"It's not your fault...Guys for the last time I'm fine now we need to get my brother" Sam says.
"Alright but first I need stuffing." The Scarecrow says.
Shorty after
"Aww that feels so much better." The Scarecrow says with a smile "I swear I didn't realize how much I would miss my body."
The Tin Woodman looked at Sam "You still got the map?"
Sam nods as he takes it out of his pocket "By the look of this map we haven't got far to go." He then furrowed his eyebrows "Where's the Impala?"
The Scarecrow points "Over there. Ever since Dean got taken and you being out cold, she's been whimpering and crying."
Sam frowns he didn't know how he was going to comfort a car Dean was the one who was good at that. "Come on Sam the car is like a dog you know how to treat a dog." He thought. He walked up to the Impala and crouched down. "Hey umm Baby" The Impala whizzed round and barked with happiness when she saw her owner's brother. Sam smiled and stroked the car.
The Impala then stopped and she turned on her headlights and shone it on Sam's bruise. Sam pointed at his bruise causing her to nod. "Oh don't worry I'm fine it's just a bruise." He says "We are going to get Dean." The car switched off her headlights and whimpered again. "Hey umm don't cry." He says as he picks up the car "Nothing is going to happen to him I promise." The Impala howled she was worried about her owner. Sam gave the car a pat "We will get Dean and kill the Wicked Witch and then we will kill Eleanor." Sam gave the Impala another stroke "You have been on almost every hunt with us and we are definitely going to need you on this one." The car stopped crying and it was replaced with a roar from the engine. Sam smiled "That's more like it." He puts the car down and turns to the others.
"Everything good" The Scarecrow asks.
Sam nods "Yeb everything is good."
"Ok what's the plan?" The Tin Woodman asks
Sam clears his throat "We are going to go to the castle and get in get my brother and kill that green son of a bitch."
"How are we going to get in there?" The Cowardly Lion asks.
Sam grins "Fortunately, I know what the castle looks like. We have to go up this long slope and the castle is on the top. Dean will be at the top of the tower. We can go in the front entrance."
"What are you crazy what about the winged monkeys?" The Cowardly Lion asks.
"The winged monkeys are nothing to worry about we have to deal with the Winkies."
The Tin Woodman signs "That's just great"
Sam scratches his head "From what I remember they usually march up and down on a bridge that leads to the front entrance."
The Scarecrow folds his arms "So how are we getting in the front entrance with all them there."
"We can hide under the bridge and wait for some to come along and then we strike."
The Cowardly Lion shakes his head frantically "What. No we might get caught."
"We won't"
The Tin Woodman went puzzled "But then what do we do once we got them down?"
"Um I may not have a brain but I think I know where Sam is going with this." The Scarecrow says "We could take their clothes and use them as a disguise to get into the front entrance."
Sam nods "Yes Scarecrow that's exactly where I'm going with this."
The Tin Woodman signs "Sam look us I'm a tin man, his a scarecrow and his a lion there is no way we are going to pull this off."
Sam puts on an encouraging smile "It's going to work just trust me on this one."
"But Sam what if we go there and everything you said might not happen like the Winkies might not be at the entrance."
"They will."
The Tin Woodman looked doubtful about the plan while the Scarecrow puts his hand on his shoulder "We can't say it won't work when we haven't tried. What other plan do we have?"
The Tin Woodman shrugs he knows the Scarecrow is right there is no other plan. "Ok let's do it."
"Oh this is so out of my comfort zone." The Cowardly Lion says.
Sam turned to him "You can do this I know you will."
The Cowardly Lion signs "Ok I'm doing it for my courage and to save Dean."
"Yeah" The Tin Woodman and the Scarecrow both say.
Sam picks his knife up from the ground "Ok you all ready?"
"Hell yeah" The Scarecrow says.
"Yeah I'm ready." The Tin Woodman says.
"Let's do this." The Cowardly Lion says.
Sam turns and points "This way."
They all walked down the path going towards the castle with this new boost of confidence and determination. The Scarecrow did some stabbing gestures with his knife, the Tin Woodman did a few swings with his axe, the Cowardly Lion kept a positive mind state and even practiced his roars to try and sound as scary as possible, the Impala growled she was ready to take down the creatures who took her beloved owner, and Sam who was the most determined out of them all wanted to save his brother and kill the Wicked Witch but also the bitch Eleanor who sent him and his brother here in the first place.
"Like Dean said she will wish she stayed dead the first time."
