Love in Oz (Scarecrow x Reader (Wizard of Oz fanfiction))

Chapter Thirty: A story told

Well, Tinman and I were just aimlessly walking around trying to find the bullies in question. But we still have the problem of not knowing who they are and what they looked like. That's when a demon girl from Demon Country. She was the daughter of the leader. I know that because I've met her before. Her name is Piro and she told us that she was a friend of Maddie's. I asked her who Maddie's bullies were and she took us to where they usually hang out.

It was three boys who Piro introduced as Draco, Frollo, and Jimmy. I don't know where the three of them have come from. But I didn't care because they were looking real proud of themselves. They had watched our argument and were proud that they had caused our relationship to die. They planned this! I was ready to confront them but Tinman stopped me pointing out that they were talking about another plan for Maddie, me, and Piro! I listened to them.

Draco: We are friends, are we not?

Frollo: And our interests are the same

Jimmy: We collaborate

Frollo: And trust in fate to parcel out the blame

Draco: there are ends we've all got That can justify the means

Frollo: We negotiate

Jimmy: The fabricate the facts Behind the scene

Draco: Keeping all the details vague And secrets hidden

Frollo: Safe from the balanced sheet Of those you trust BECAUSE History is a story told by the Winners of the fight You imply a little

Draco: Lie a little, 

Jimmy: Testifying and Try a little

All: Princess

Draco: Who's gonna question What goes on in the middle of the night? Not a tinker

Frollo: Not a tailor Not her brother or Tinman

Jimmy: Or a farmer (laughs evilly)

Draco: So we all are agreed Let's be vigilant and wise

Frollo: We must all pretend Our naive friend Was caught in her own lies For our plan to succeed We must share but one belief Maddie Tigelaar stays And ends her days Inside of Kansas City!

Draco: Were the best things She'll be used for is pregnancy And cleaning far away in a woman's life And marriage keep

Jimmy: BECAUSE History's a story told by the men who make the laws

Frollo: We supply a little lie

Draco: TO help the gullible to buy a little fable

Jimmy: What will become of the righteous men who Fashioned Maddie's Flaws?

Frollo: The rich

Jimmy: And well respected

Draco: Are no more to be rejected at our table I'll be a comfort in her time of Grief and Anguish! I'll be Piro's ever-faithful Acolyte Every night

Jimmy: A part of me wishes Maddie didn't have to suffer But I can see It's her or me

Frollo: let her live there and rot Till she's forgot!

Draco: LET HER ROT!

All: History's a story told by The people who survive

Jimmy: Let me sign and then initial

Frollo: It's the truth if it's official In the story

Draco: What if it costs us One young woman so Three more men can survive?

Jimmy: She's a price we have to pay

Draco: TO live and fight another day For love and glory

Frollo: She was standing in the way of Precious justice in Marseille!

Jimmy: SO goes the story

Draco: Stick to the story

All: Here ends the story! 

I hated every word they said. They want to trick Maddie to go to Kansas and have her be treated how (Y/N) described. And Draco has a crush on Piro. She was certainly not happy about that. She spread her wings faster than I could react and flew over them with fire in her eyes and hands. Did I forget to mention her people have the ability to make fire and control fire? There's a reason I don't go near them and this is why. Not awfully fond of the idea of being burned by these people.

Tinman ran over to stop her from doing anything drastic and she calmed down. That's when I came onto view to lecture them about what they've done and what they're planning to do. They did not care in the slightest and that's what annoyed me the most. But I can't do anything drastic either because they're only teens. The most I can do is tell their parents and the deen of the university so they can do something. So, that's what I ended up doing and let them handle the situation. I have to get Maddie's trust in me back.

Yes, I made mistakes but they're in the past now and we don't have to look at the past. These boys just decided to do this to make our lives miserable. I tried to talk with her but she was giving me the silent treatment and locked the door to her dorm. Seeing that there wasn't much else I could do, I left to go home. I went straight to my study where I couldn't even finish the work I started this morning. I felt so horrible and guilty for not seeing there was something going on.

And, even though I keep telling myself to leave the past in the past, I still blame myself for making those choices and making Maddie go through that. A knock at the door took me out of my thoughts. I said to whoever it was to come in and I made it look like I was working. I looked over to see (Y/N) and Ozma at the doorway. I was given Ozma who I said hello to, acting like there was nothing wrong. But (Y/N) knew me well enough to know I was faking it.

"What's happened?" (Y/N) asked

"Nothing, why do you ask?" I asked

"If that's the case, I'll just be taking Ozma back and leaving you to your work," (Y/N) was ready to take Ozma

"Okay, okay. I'll tell you!"

I hadn't seen Ozma all day so I wanted to spend time with her. I told (Y/N) what happened with me, Maddie, and the bullies and that I blamed myself for causing this.

"You didn't do anything. They're just stupid boys who think they're doing the right thing when they aren't. The past is the past and you can't change it. But there's something called the present and you can focus on perfecting that instead of the past. Just do your best to talk to Maddie and become the sweet brother and sister I watched form an unbreakable bond," (Y/N) said

"Maddie won't talk to me. That's a non-starter," I said

"Give her time. Her loyal friends will talk to her and then she'll talk to you. Just be patent and she'll come around eventually."

I nodded before looking at Ozma who was babbling for attention. (Y/N) told me to take a break and spend time with Ozma. I was about to mention the work I abandoned but (Y/N) said she'd take care of it. I thanked her and spent some time with Ozma. I didn't leave the room because I wanted to stay with (Y/N) a while longer too. (Y/N)'s right. I should give Maddie time and let Tinman and Piro talk to her and hope she comes around to talk about this. I should focus on the rest of my family in the meantime. I'm not going to pressure or rush Maddie in any way to talk to me.

(A/N: Thank you BuckeyeGirl2002 for editing the lyrics and the video in this Chapter and last chapter. Piro is my OC who I added as Maddie's friend. I used the names of the characters in the video because I was only going to use them once and I'm not that creative for one-time use names. And I kept the song how it was written because I didn't think any of you wanted to read 'Draco/Frollo/Jimmy said' every other line. See you next chapter)
