The Day
Hi guys! I have received an astounding amount of response for this story and I'm so glad about how you guys feel! For all you out there, this story is also in a Tin Man group under the same story title but written by lilkatie2004. Each chapter here is broken up into two different parts on but it is still the same story. Anyway, here's the next chapter so enjoy!
Disclaimer-I will only own Tin Man on DVD on March 11.
Ahamo and Lavender anxiously awaited Cain's report on the whereabouts of their daughter. They both held their breath in anticipation when Cain walked through the door late that night.
"Is she-" Ahamo started.
"We can't find her your majesties. My men have searched the entire O.Z. and there is no trace. I'm sorry," Cain regretfully reported. "We have no idea where she is but we'll keep looking until she is found."
"You won't find her," the voice startled the trio.
"Excuse me?" Cain said as he turned around to address the new arrival.
"I man, you won't find her here in the O.Z." Azkadellia entered the room completely.
"What have you done with you sister?" Lavender started towards her eldest daughter.
"Nothing, Mother. I miss DG as much as anyone," Az gave Cain a pointed look. "But Zero wouldn't keep her here. Before the eclipse, I have overheard Zero talking about if he had ever kidnapped anyone important, he would take them somewhere else."
"Where, then, if not here?" Ahamo eagerly asked. "We need to find her as soon as possible. Ambrose can only keep Andrew calm for so long. Soon he will start showing Glitch tendencies and Andrew has never seen his brother like that before. Time is of the essence."
"He's taken her to the Other Side."
DG fought with all of her might against her captors, or a least as much as she could in a wedding dress. When she saw the travel storm appear, she fought even harder. She did not want to go wherever Zero was trying to take her. But, the Longcoats holding her were too strong. As they forced DG into the storm, all she could think about was going home. DG hit the ground on the other end of the travel storm and blacked out.
When DG awoke, she quickly surveyed her surroundings. Finding no Longcoats, she sat up, aching with pain from the landing. Something was very familiar about this place….if only DG could put her finger on it. She heard a loud rumbling sound noise coming closer and closer. Suddenly the ground began shaking. A shrill blast of a whistle pierced DG's ears as the train went past. All of a sudden it occurred to DG realized where she was. Home. In Kansas. Her magic had overpowered Zero's in the travel storm and them here. She was took weak from the landing to open up a new storm so she looked around for some shelter from the Longcoats, wherever they were, and for a place to lie down for the night. Seeing an old shed, she made her way towards it, thanking fate for being kind to her when DG discovered it was unlocked and full of food and blankets.The only disappointment in the small hut was that there was no electricity and no indoor plumbing.
'I guess that's why Mom and Dad took me camping,' DG laughed to herself. 'This will be no problem.' DG laid down on some old blankets and was asleep the moment her head hit the ground. She slept fairly peacefully, considering what she had been through that day. She didn't wake up until she felt the hands over her mouth and holding her down. 'Not again,' DG thought as she heard the all-to-familiar voice of Zero in her ear.
"Lie still, don't scream, and you won't die."
