Kara in Oz.Dear God What HAVE they done???
Chapter 4
Kara looked down the cliff then her ears seemed to twitch. She put the dog down as she saw the others ponder how to get across. She first looked confused, and then she looks purely afraid. "W..We should go.or at least hurry." She said a tremor in her voice. "Would you have some damn patience??" Tin Man growled angrily. Then, something terrible happened.
It happened quite quickly, but the Kalidah that Tin Man had maimed was running towards them, and he was quite annoyed.
"I WANT MY KISS!!!!" he screamed and rammed into the trees. The four scrambled around, and the Kalidah was running for Scarecrow, who was by the cliff. Kara screamed, knocking him out of the way. In turn, she and the Kalidah flew off the cliff, her dazed expression of concern was the last expression all three creatures saw as she and the Kalidah fell towards the river below.
The three stared, and then tears started slowly rolling down Lion's face. Tin Man's eyes followed the river to a bank at the side. "Come on!" He shouted and headed for it. Sure enough the Kalidah had sunk, but Kara floated downstream and landed on the bank. When Lion, Tin Man and Scarecrow arrived, she was coughing up water and shivering. Toto ran up and jumped in her lap, licking her cheek and barking.
"I'm alright Toto. I'm alright," She said nuzzling into the dog's fur. She looked up and saw her three companions and blinked slowly. Tin Man spoke up.
"You stupid bitch; don't go around playing hero anymore, or you really will end up being killed." He said harshly, but Kara could tell, he was glad she was safe. Lion tackled her, and nuzzled her still wailing and crying. "Don't scare us like that again!!" he cried, then got off and looked at Scarecrow, who looked at her dazed.
"You..You saved my life Kara.How come? I'm only made of straw."
"I had to. You're my friend. I'd do anything to protect my friends, even if it means giving up my own life." She smiled warmly then shivered. "Great Jupiter.I'm soaking wet." Tin Man picked her up, and Lion reverted to his animalistic form, and carried her on his back. In a few minutes, she fell asleep. By nightfall they had reached a clearing where they stopped.
"We should stay here for the night." Tin Man said as the picked Kara up off of Lion and cradled her a bit. He looked at them, then down at her damp, sleeping form. "She's really light, but she's so wet. We really should get her out of these clothes, but she'd scream and think we're perverts." He shook his head. "Any brave volunteers?"
"I'll do it." Scarecrow said. "You two go find some firewood for the fire." Tin Man laid Kara down, saluted Scarecrow and took Lion with him to look for wood. Scarecrow slowly stripped her and wrapped her in a towel he had found in her bag. When he sat her up, she opened her eyes. She looked at him then down at herself, blushing dark red, instead of screaming her head off. He handed her a set of clothes from her bag and she dressed herself. Afterwards, she sat next to him, and they were silent for a few minutes. Scarecrow broke the silence.
"Kara, what's a kiss?"
"A kiss is where two people touch their lips together, usually in greeting or when expressing a feeling for someone. Why?"
"How do you kiss?"
Kara blushed, not quite used to being asked like that from anyone except her children.
"Well, the two people touch lips together."
"Could you teach me?" he asked gingerly, looking at her with purely innocent eyes. She smiled softly and nodded. She moved closer to him, and leaned close to him slowly. He moved in a little quicker and they bumped noses. She smiled and giggled.
"I'm sorry Kara. Can we try again?"
"Yes."
She leaned in, moving closer and gently pressed her lips against his in a soft kiss. She moved back and blushed, looking at his dazed expression.
"Kara.I liked that."
"Most people do Scarecrow. It's." She was cut off by Scarecrow's second kiss. She slowly kissed back, her eyes closed. She pulled away, blushing a darker color and smiling. "Very good Scarecrow." She smiled, feeling pleased with herself on teaching him how to kiss. She looked up as Lion and Tin Man came back to the campsite, carrying more wood. She leaned on Scarecrow's shoulder, and closed her eyes, drifting to sleep once more.
"God dammit.is all she ever does is SLEEP??" Tin Man exclaimed.
