12. Chapter 12

Her red hair whipped up in the air as the door slammed behind her. The chamber was silent, save for the heaving sobs she choked down.

I AM OZ.

The faceless voice reverberated through the room. Her sobs grew louder.

At once the chamber lit with green fire. A large brass head sat upon a green throne. It's jaws clanked nearly as loud as its voice.

WHERE IS THE WICKED WITCH OF THE WEST?

"I don't know. I haven't seen her in years," Ameya sobbed. "She thinks me dead."

DON'T LIE TO ME. WHERE IS THE WICKED WITCH OF THE WEST?

"I swear I don't know," Ameya shouted at the head. "I-I-I..."

SILENCE.

Ameya gulped, but repressed the sounds of her cries, though tears continued to fall down her cheeks.

WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN DOING THESE PAST YEARS? YOU WERE DECLARED DEAD BY THE MUNCHKINLAND CORONER.

"It was my brother's idea. I don't know where he is either. I've been in-in hiding, your Ozness."

LIES.

The green fire flared again.

YOU HAVE BEEN WORKING AGAINST ME. YOU SUPPORT THE UNDERGROUND FORCE THAT HAS BEEN CONSPIRING AGAINST ME FOR DECADES. NOW TELL ME. WHERE IS THE WICKED WITCH OF THE WEST?

"I DON'T KNOW," Ameya screamed. "I never thought she was capable of such treachery. She was such a good girl."

GUARDS. GUARDS.

From nowhere, two guards came forward and grabbed her. One of them, a tall handsome young man with dark skin did a small double take upon seeing her, but said nothing.

"Yes your Ozness?" the other guard shouted.

TAKE HER TO SOUTHSTAIRS UNTIL SHE DECIDES TO SPEAK THE TRUTH.

"I promise... I swear I don't know. I don't know. I don't know..." Ameya yelled, her voice fading with every step from the retreating guards.

SURPRISE! As in, this is a surprise to me as well! I've known for a while that Ameya was not dead, but didn't know how to continue the story with what I had... So here we are :) I might be continuing Ameya's story, one that takes place during Shiz time when she's fighting the Wizard or earlier with Melena. Don't really know yet. But stay tuned! And thank you so much again for reading this and enjoying it and your comments! ~bwayfan25
