More Than Rubies

Chapter 14

(Emma's P.O.V.)

I bend down and pick up the oil can.

"You have to be kidding me," I say.

"What?" Hook asks.

"Oil can, yellow brick road, Oz. Whoever needs help must be the tin man," I say while rolling my eyes.

Can my life get any stranger? We continue walking, and sure enough I see something shiny.

"Oil can," it's voice sounds muffled.

I pour water over it's most to 'de-rust' it and allow him to talk.

"She's a monster," he warns.

"Wait, wha-" I begin to say, but Hook pulls me aside.

"Don't worry about what he tells you, we only have 24 hours," he whispers.

I yank away from his grip.

"Who's a monster?" I ask the tinman.

"The, the wi-" he begins to speak and points to his left before he freezes.

"He needs more oil," Hook says.

I grab the can, but there is no oil left.

"Wh-who is he warning is about?" Henry asks.

"It's fine," I assure him," the only thing we need to worry about right now is finding our family."

"Well I suggest we get going," says Hook.

I nod and we start walking down the road. I hesitate before peeking in the direction the tin man pointed me towards. I walk off the yellow brick road and turn left into a field.

"Emma!" Hook shouts.

He reaches out towards me, but doesn't follow me. As I walk further in, I see bodies piled on top of each other, looking dead. Then all of a sudden, I get dizzy.

"Hook!" I call.

The last thing I recall seeing is Hook telling Henry to stay behind before running into the field towards me.
