He gave her the fiercest glare she had ever seen. She noticed he was shaking from head to toe.
"Go away, Please just leave me alone" he said. His eyes were cold and black. And yet he was barely looking at her, his head was faced in an entirely different direction.
Her past stormed into her mind. She couldn't remember it, but it had been described in detail to her. Her dad had never stopped telling this story to her and her Nanny had told her later. On the day she was born, her dad had taken one long look at her. She could almost remember the disappointment, sorrow, fury, and mourning in his eyes. After momentarily looking over the baby held in front of him, a dark look filled his eyes. He muttered for nanny to take her away. Except she hadn't even been called her, she was called it. Nanny tried to give her to her father again. At that gesture he yelled for her to be taken away.
Neither her Nanny or her father said it, but he was scared of her. What she had heard about the moment , the way his voice had quivered, the way he acted like it risked his life to be near her. It all meant that he was afraid. Of her .
Now that she looked back on it, she realized that everybody had been afraid of her from the moment she was born. She was not loved, she was only feared . But despite when people had thought, she was human. Any form of attention was better than none for her. And she was given attention by the barrelful, it just wasn't good , so she was satisfied because she was not being neglected. But no matter the amount of attention she was given, it hadn't fulfilled her basic need for companionship. So, she fed off the fear, she encouraged it.
The exchange that had just happened between her and the Doctor was so similar to the story of her birth. He had told her to go away in the same manner. She clenched her hands so tight they turned pale . And he didn't seem to have a reason.
Fire burned in her eyes. She held her hand next to his cheek "You have no idea how much I want to slap you right now" She barked. She wished for Fiyero, he would have been able to keep her temper down.
"It's not you. It's not your fault." He said. His eyes were far away and sad. At her questioning look he elaborated. "You think I can't see your eyes. I know what's happening to you"
"Yeah sure, and I'm a talking goat." She said. Something stung in her chest at the mention of her lost friend."
"I'm sorry. Come on, I'll take you back to where you came from" he said. He moved over to the center statue and pressed a few buttons.
Without looking away he said. "Just tell me where are you from."
That hit her where it hurt the most. Even though it was only emotional, a pain swelled in her chest like her heart was bleeding. All he had to do was mention Galinda and she would be crying out of grief. She clenched her teeth. Forcing her mouth to open, she managed to speak
"I can't, I can never go back" She said softly. What happened after that was odvious. He would force her to tell him and try to take her back. If he managed too she would be killed. Galinda would be hurt for lying to Oz.
Eyes huge, he said "So you're a runaway" Her lips stayed locked, she wouldn't give him the satisfaction of getting information out of her easily.
His eyes looked deep into hers. "Excellent! Then let's run away together." He said with an elated smile.
