The Day
Yay! Another chapter! I think this is the fastest I have ever written a story…. Well, it is Tin Man, so there's the reasoning. Plus, I got sidetracked from my other story so I want to finish this one fast so I can get back to that one, which I currently have writer's block for……Anywhoos! Here's the next chappie, and thanks again to all my reviewers!!
Disclaimer- As if.
P.S.-bonus points to the person who can name The Wizard of Oz reference in this chapter!
DG opened her eyes to look into the bright light. She blinked and everything came into focus. She tried to move but found herself tied to a chair with her arms behind her back. DG opened her mouth to scream, but was silenced by the cold steel against her temple.
"No noise, Princess," Zero said dripping with content and scorn.
"You'll never get away with this," DG replied. "My parents will send Cain and his men after me!" 'At least, I hope they will,' DG thought.
"Oh, I'm planning on it. And when they get here, I have a little surprise for Mr. Cain."
"What's that?" DG could only imagine the horrors awaiting them.
Zero just laughed maniacally. "You'll see. You'll see."
One Andrew Bolger was currently trying not to kill one Wyatt Cain.
"What do you mean, you'll try your best to rescue her? The best is the woman I love sitting right here next to me!"
Az, who was sitting next to Andrew, tried to make light of the situation by replying, "Aww, how sweet! Sorry, but I'm not your type."
"I'm aware of how you feel about Princess DG," Cain said through gritted teeth, trying to keep calm and choosing to ignore Azkadellia's comment. "But my men and I can only tell you that we will try our hardest. We have no idea where on the Other Side she is and we have very limited resources. We'll do the best we can! Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a search party to organize and a princess to rescue." Cain walked out of the room, seething at the ignorance of nobility.
"Father, wait!" Jeb ran after his dad.
"Yes, Jeb?"
"When do we leave?"
"Sorry, but we don't leave. I am leaving in ten minutes. You are staying here."
"But-"
"No ifs, ands or buts. I need someone to watch Andrew and make sure that he doesn't do something stupid. I trust you can do that?"
"Yes, but I-"
"Good. I knew I could count on you." Cain quickly turned to depart, but stopped when he heard Jeb's quiet voice again.
"Father?"
"Yes, son?"
"Good luck. May your hearth be warm-"
"-And your smoke be blue," Cain quietly finished as he walked outside, remembering the last conversation he had with DG. Was it really just a few short hours ago that he was worried about her marrying Andrew? It seemed like a lifetime. But, then again, everything seemed like a lifetime when DG wasn't around. Hopefully that won't be for very much longer. Cain took a deep breath as the travel storm blew inot life before him.
"You won't get away with this Zero. Not if I have anything to do with it." Cain stepped into the storm and headed for the only place he knew of on the Other Side. The only place he had heard DG talk about. The place where his heart was telling him to go: Kansas.
