Chapter 13: (End of the Wicked Witch)

(End of the Wicked Witch)

*July 13th, 1900*

*Witch's Castle*

*Day 30, Night*

Cowardly Lion was laying in his cage that was outside of the castle as the creature sighed in despair as he was worried about Dorothy.

"I'm terribly worried about Dorothy, It's been days since I've seen her! I hope the evil witch didn't kill her..." Cowardly Lion had spoken out in a tone of sadness as he felt his stomach growling indicating that he was hungry however he had to tough it out due to being barely fed and today was one of those days that he went hungry.

"I gotta get out of here, I just need to. I need to find Dorothy, some food, and my friends so I could get out of this prison.." Cowardly Lion uttered out in a low tone of voice as he noticed a winkie guard watching him with great concentration as he had come up with a plan.

"Hey, you better not be sleeping! You are supposed to be awake and alert as per the Wicked Witch's orders!" The Winkie Guard had ordered in a stern yet fearful tone of voice as he knew that the Wicked Witch's anger was something to never mess with as he saw the lion slowly getting up on all fours.

"I know but I can't guard anything if I'm starving so I'll tell you this, You let me free for a moment so I can get some food then I'll make sure that I NEVER leave this cell, deal?" Cowardly Lion had spoken out in an attempt to persuade the guard; however, the Winkie knew it was risky due to the Wicked Witch's evil eye always watching, however he looked around to see that there was no eye watching.

"Okay, don't cause any trouble and there should be some food inside of the castle but do NOT get caught by the Wicked Witch or her evil eye, okay? The Winkie Guard had warned Cowardly Lion as he quickly opened the door as he saw the creature slowly walking out of the cage.

"Thank you, I appreciate your kindness.." Cowardly Lion had thanked the guard as he slowly made his way towards the castle while the Winkie Guard watched.

*Witch's Room*

Dorothy was mopping the Wicked Witch's room as she sighed in tiredness as she had been doing chores nonstop for an hour straight.

"Gosh, I've never done this much chores for Uncle Henry and Aunt Em. This is practically excausting! If the witch wants the silver shoes than she'll have to force me to give it away" Dorothy had spoken out in a tone of tiredness and annoyance as the little girl continued to do her chores until she heard the sound of the door opening to reveal the Wicked Witch who had a evil smile on her face.

"Girl! I have something I want you to do for me so come with me!" The Wicked Witch of the West had spat out in a sneaky tone of voice as this made Dorothy suspicious however despite her objections, the girl still had followed the evil witch while Toto followed the pair until they had made it to a flight of stairs that led to the cellar.

"I've dropped something important of mine down in the cellar so get your behind in there and get it for me and while you're at it, get more water as well!!" The Wicked Witch of the West had ordered Dorothy while pointing at the bottom of the cellar as Dorothy had shaken her head in defiance which had surprised the evil witch.

"No, Why would you want me to do such a task? You usually wait until I'm done with one grueling task before asking me to do the next one" Dorothy had responded back in a cautious yet defiant tone of voice as the evil witch started to get annoyed.

"Impossible, there's no way she could see through my trick! It was simple! I'd convince her that I've dropped something and she'll follow through BUT she'll trip over on one of the mops that I've made invisible thus making the silver shoes fall right off!" The Wicked Witch of the West had thought to herself before speaking once more.
