Kara in OZ.Dear God what HAVE they done!

Chapter 3

She shrieked as she fell back on the yellow brick road. "There is TOO much of this dejavu around here!" she whimpered when she saw a figure that remarkably looked like the fiery haired and tempered Jake SunStriker, a member of the castle dwellers where she lived. She noticed a distinctive thing about him; Jake was the tin man who had no heart! She burst into laughter then blinked, realizing that Scarecrow was looking at her strangely.

"Uh.look what I found.a man made out of tin. Check to see if he's rusted solid while I look for an oil can or something." She said to him, snickering under her breath. 'This is just too funny.I wonder who the Cowardly lion's going resemble.'

"Kara! He's rusted solid!" Scarecrow yelled to her. "Did you find any oil?"

"Yeah! Its here!" she picked up the oil can and carried it over to the Tin Man. Kara oiled him completely, and when he was fully oiled, he gave her a gruff "Thanks," before starting to chop the tree. He stopped when he noticed they were still standing there.

". What the hell do you want? You've done your charity work, now shoo. Leave a lonely person of tin alone alright?" Toto started barking at him. He looked down at the dog and growled at him. Toto ran behind Kara and barked at him. Kara looked at Tin Man and rolled her eyes. ' I was right. that has GOT to be Jake. No way it can't be.'

"Hey pal. You sound like you're a heartless bastard. There's no need to be rude after we just helped your aluminum ass out by oiling you up so you can move and talk. You get your tin ass on the road and come with us. You need a friggan heart and fast!" Tin Man tried staring her down, but she stared back glaring. They stayed like this for quite some time, and the Scarecrow looked at them dumbfounded. Finally, the Tin Man gave in. "Alright Alright," he said. "I'll go."

"You stupid bitch! You think getting friends to come along with you will help you out??" The witch appeared behind her, and for the first time since she arrived in Oz, Kara looked afraid. The witch smirked and a fireball appeared in her hand.

"Kindly stay away from her gentlemen on her merry little way, or else you'll get hurt." She turned to Scarecrow, blowing the fireball at him and cackled as she disappeared. Kara's widened as she saw her friend's arm light on fire.

"OH GOD HELP ME!" he yelled jumping up and down. Kara fished through her bag and pulled out her water bottle, pouring it on his arm dousing the fire. Once he calmed down, Kara's eyes started to water as she sat down hugging her knees. The tears slipped down her cheek as she looked at Scarecrow and Tin Man.

"Maybe she's right. You could really get hurt because of me. I haven't known you for very long; either of you, but you both remind me of the people I care about at home. I'd never put them in danger, and I don't want to put you two in danger either." she looked down as the tears slipped faster. She felt a hand on each arm as the two of them pulled her to her feet. They both stood in front of her, and looked at her intently. She felt like she was on trial they were looking at her so funny.

"Kara," Scarecrow started. "I want brains. You want to go home. He in some odd way wants a heart. If that bitch thinks she's going to stop you, she's got another thing coming. I'll protect you whether I get my brains or not."

"I guess I'll protect you too. You seemed awfully afraid when she appeared." Tin Man smirked. Kara narrowed her eyes, but wiped her tears and nodded. "Al..alright but.I want you two to be really careful alright?" she smiled as they both nodded. She slung her back on her shoulders, linked arms with the two of them, and the three of them, and Toto headed into the dark forest. She looked around and clung to Scarecrow's arm a little, staring around her.

"This place really gives me the creeps guys." She said, looking around her "I just know some creature is going to jump out at us and attack." Sure enough, a large creature, that resembled a lion leaped at them, sending Scarecrow and Tin man flying, and growled low at Kara. She swallowed hard, as the lion slowly reverted to a humanlike lion shape. "Come on you two pieces of shit! I can take you both on!" He lunged at the two of them. "You creep! Leave them alone!" Kara shouted at him. He turned slowly, giving her an icy stare that reminded her of Drake Sunstriker, Jake's twin brother and leader of the Fallen, the group she lived with.

"Drake." she whispered. "Oh gods." she leapt out of the way then back handed him when he came back at her. He stumbled back and began wailing. "You didn't have to hit me like that!!" he wailed.

Kara's heart seemed to shatter. "Lion.do you not have any courage?" she pulled a kerchief out of her pocket and wiped his eyes with it. He nodded slowly looking embarrassed. She stroked his soft mane and tilted her head smiling at him. "You could come with us to see the Wizard. I know he'd give you courage."

He peered at her, and saw how warm her smile was. 'Hey, what the hell? If I don't get any courage, I might get some nookie from the chick.' He smiled broadly and nodded his head. Kara looked around then rubbed her arm. She swallowed hard and nervously and trembled, realizing she had given Toto the last ration of food this morning, and she hasn't eaten at all. She took a step forward and immediately collapsed. Tin Man caught her and looked at Scarecrow. He looked down at her and then at Tin Man. "She fed the dog, but didn't eat anything herself."

"Stupid bitch," Tin man muttered. He picked her up, and laid her on the grass, and went off to look for some berries or some kind of food for her to eat. Scarecrow fished through her bag looking for water, but didn't find any. Kara slowly opened her eyes, and saw the lion on top of her. She screamed and shoved him off.

"MY GOD IS THIS LAND FULL OF FREAKING PERVERTS!?!?!" she screamed as she turned and ran down a path of brick road running blindly trying to get away.

'I was wrong.oh gods was I wrong!' she stopped running and broke down and cried. " I just want to go home, but I can't unless I play out this stupid storyline." Her mind drifts to when she first tried to use the slippers back before she met Scarecrow, and it didn't work. She cries into her hands. "I just want to go home."

She heard a loud huffing sound from behind her and sees a large creature; the Kalidah, a creature with a tiger's head and a bear's body. Her scream pierced through the woods and reached Tin Man's aluminum ears. "Kara's awake and in trouble." The others heard it too, and Toto was the first to arrive there, followed by Lion and Scarecrow and finally Tin Man. The Kalidah had Kara in his grasp, and was squeezing her and trying to kiss her. It ripped her shirt in half on accident and growled low at the intruders. The trio stared at Kara, who covered her chest screaming at them "HELP ME! DON'T STARE AT ME!"

Tin Man first reacted by cutting off the Kalidah's arm, while Lion cowered behind the tree. Kara fell with the arm landing on her stomach wincing. The Kalidah ran off whimpering. Kara coughed and stared at the ground, her hair matted to her forehead as she sat up. Scarecrow slipped a pale blue turtleneck over her head and onto her and she looked up at him. "Thanks.she said quietly. Tin Man pulled her to her feet. "Lets not stay here. I have a feeling our friend will be back." Kara nodded and picked up Toto and started walking ahead of them, nuzzling the dog's fur, shaking visibly.

'I haven't felt that helpless in years.I wish I had my powers.' She stayed, lost in thought until she almost fell off the edge of the cliff. Tin Man swore like a sailor grabbing her and yanking her backwards.

"Damn woman. Watch where you go! Now the question is how the HELL do we cross the god damn river." He looked at the river and at the twelve mile stretch between lands.
