"I thought you said she was dead," whispered Dorothy to Glinda.

"That was her sister, the Wicked Witch of the East," explained Glinda. "This is the Wicked Witch of the West. And she is much worse than her sister."

"Who killed my sister?" said the Witch ascending closer to them. "Who killed the Wicked Witch of the East?" She looked at Dorothy. "Was it you?"

"No!" cried Dorothy. "No, it was an accident! I didn't mean to kill anyone!"

"Well, my little pretty," said the Witch smiling spitefully "I can cause accidents too."

"Aren't you forgetting the Ruby Slippers?" interrupted Glinda.

"The Ruby Slippers?" asked the Witch. "Yes! The Slippers!" she ascended to her sister to find no Slippers, only her striped tights that pulled away under the house. "They're gone!" she shouted angrily. "The Ruby Slippers! What have you done with them?" she said walking up to Dorothy and Glinda. "Give them back to me or I'll-"

"I'm afraid it's too late," said Glinda. "Step forward, Dorothy."

Dorothy did as she was told.
"There they are and there they'll stay," she added pointing to Dorothy's feet with her wand.

Dorothy looked down to see that her own shoes had been replaced by a pair of two pretty red shoes: The Ruby Slippers!

"Give me back my slippers," the Witch said to Dorothy. "I'm the only who knows how to uses them. They are useless to you. Give them back to me. Give them back!"

"Don't do it, Dorothy," warned Glinda. "They're magic must be very powerful other wise she wouldn't want them so badly."

"You keep out of this, Glinda," snarled the Witch "Or I will fix you as well."

"Rubbish!" chuckled Glinda. "Nonsense! Balderdash! You have no powers here. Be gone, before another house drops on you."

The Wicked Witch of the West looked up into the sky in fright. She breathed heavily and said "Very well, I'll bide my time. I know that my powers are weaker than yours unless I have the slippers." Then she pointed at Dorothy in an angry way. "And as for you my fine lady! It's true I can't attend here and now as I'd like, but just try to keep out my way. JUST try. I warn you, no one has ever dared to enter the Western Lands to stand up to me. With those slippers on your feet, you are my main target in all of Oz. Just say your prayers throughout your journey and you may survive, which I highly doubt. It's for your own safety that you eventually remove the Ruby Slippers from your feet while you can. Something you will obviously never do. So you just watch your step! I'll get you my pretty, and your little dog too!" And she began to cackle and disappeared in a puff of red smoke, much to the horror of the little Munchkins.
