Scarecrow's P.O.V
_________________
She left. Gone like that. Whisked away by the colors of light refracted by Glinda's magic. I sighed, wiping the tears away from my eyes as I turned around. She was taken from me again. After all the years I spent creating that Rainbow Moving machine to bring her back to me I only got to see glimpses of her during battle and watch her leave. Just like that. In the time span of approximately 3 hours. Glinda sent her back to Kansas. "Why..." I muttered, my hands balling up into fists as my mind raced in anger and frustration.
"Scarecrow? What's wrong?" A small female voice rang out. I turned towards the china girl the voice emitted from. I opened my mouth to speak before deciding it was a bad idea to make an attempt to respond without lashing out at the poor girl. So I snapped my lips shut and turned towards the stairs, my anger making me stomp my feet. As I went I purposely shoved my shoulder into Glinda, the damned witch that took Dorothy away from me again. "Scarecrow! That's not cool man!" I heard lion snap at me for my actions. I ignored him and just wound down the stairs. Soon I wasn't even aware that I was moving as I was dragged back into the spinning top I call my mind.
Why... I asked myself, tears pooling out of my eyes as I furiously wiped them away again. Why does the world hate me so much? First I have to go through years of being a failure at the one job I was meant to do, then I had to go through a fraud and a stupid witch so I wouldn't be such a dunce in front of Dorothy, then she left with just a click of her heels. Next thing I know as soon as I'm getting her back I'm interrupted by monkeys and I threw her life in danger, luckily she was out of the rainbow by the time I fled like a coward, worried for my safety more than hers at that moment. Then I finally see her and have her back in my arms and the next thing I know, BOOM! She's thrown into a tornado, falls off of a tower and then sent away again just like that!
Finally I ripped myself out of my thoughts. I realized that I was stopped at the bottom of the stairs. I started walking again, the sound of a bubble expanding and then popping behind me. "Scarecrow? Scarecrow what's the big deal?" I heard that familiar witch say. I bit my lower lip and kept quiet, continuing to walk away from the woman who had caused me so much pain. I didn't want to hurt her by trying to respond then instead turn around and spill my true feelings out in a fit of rage and sorrow. "Scarecrow, answer me." Glinda continued. The clicking of her shoes sounded behind me as I sped up, keeping my eyes fixed on the large gate ahead of me. I counted in sets of four, trying to regulate my breathing to help calm me down. "Scarecrow..." Glinda said, warning to her tone of voice.
"Shut up!" I snapped, whipping around to face her. "Do you know how much pain I am in right now because of you?" I stormed up to her, shaking my index finger in her direction before I finally came to a halt.
"Scarecrow I- I only did what Dorothy wanted me to... I asked her if she wanted to return home and she said she wanted to." Glinda responded, her body language heavily telling me that she was taken aback by my sudden outburst.
"Yes, and if you hadn't offered then she would still be here. If you hadn't said anything to her at all she would still be here with me! If you hadn't even BEEN here she would be happy and in my arms! Hell, if you hadn't even told her about the heel clicking long ago she would have lived a happy life with me here in Oz!" I cursed, getting closer and closer to the witch, my voice raising with each sentence.
"I- I-" Glinda stuttered shaking her head back and forth, tears starting to form in her eyes.
"I wish you hadn't even been here in the first place! I wish you were dead!" Then with my rant being concluded with those words and the chorus of gasps from Glinda and the others, who had finally made it down in time to her that last part, I turned away and ran. I paid no attention to where my feet were taking me. I just ran, knowing that my feet were taking me far away from that cursed place.
