Chapter 3: The Cloaked Woman Revealed
"T-Tomato?" Mara tried the best she could. "It's Thyrsos!!" Sepia corrected her. "Um, dude?" Tilara asked, lifting a hand. "How would we know what Toma- I mean Thyrsos looks like?" Sepia grinned a toothy grin. "I'm glad you asked. In it's dormant form, it's a blue fingerless glove with the insignia of a circle with a "Z" in the middle." Biyowei gasped. She seen "the freak" wearing a glove like that outside of school. Mara's eyes widened. 'M-My lucky glove!!!!!!!!!!!!' she thought panicedly.
"I-I don't know what you're talkin' 'bout!!" she stammered. "I never seen a glove like that before in my life!" Toto then popped out of her bag, her lucky glove clenched in his teeth. "There it is..." Sepia smirked. "Then you must be Dorothy." 'DAMMIT, TOTO!!!!!' Mara shouted in her head. Ahna had to do something. She knew she'd be heard, but shouted, "MARA, RUN!!!!!!!" Mara took her advice and ran to a door not blocked off by the table. Birch and Willow tried to follow but ran into each other in front of the door. "Damn!" Birch huffed. Willow put a hand on her friends shoulder and said, "Stay here. I'll go after her." With that, Willow spread her demonic wings and flew after Mara.
Sepia grabbed Ahna by the wrist and said, "That's not cool. I'll let you all live, but I'll be watching. If we fail in getting Thyrsos tonight, I'll stay until we get it." Meanwhile, Mara was making a mad dash for her house. This was crazy! Why her? And why were they calling her Dorothy? This was insane!!! She skidded to a stop when Willow landed in front of her. "Ah-ah-ah." Willow said, wagging a finger at Mara. "Why're you running, Ms. Dorothy? All we want is the glove." Toto growled at her ferociously. "B-But, why's the glove so important!!??" Mara stammered. "You haven't seen it's awakened form, have you?" Willow smirked.
She was about to continue when another female voice said, "Are you finished?" Mara and Willow turned in that direction and saw the cloaked woman Mara seen before. "...you.." Mara gasped. "Heh, you again." Willow smirked. The cloaked woman pulled a sword out of her belt. In the process, her cloak was pushed back, revealing her outfit: a lavendar jumpsuit with a deep purple sash-style belt and ruby red ankle boots....wait, ruby shoes!!?? Mara recognized the concept.
In English Literature class, the class was currently reading an old book by this guy named Baum.......it was the Wizard of Oz. This couldn't be!!! 'D-Dorothy...Gale!!??' Mara thought. The woman pulled her hood back. Indeed, she was. She had light green eyes and her brown hair was tied into two braids that fell over her shoulders. "Leave my succsessor alone." she threatened Willow. 'SUCCSESSOR!!??' Mara gasped. Dorothy pushed Mara behind her and swiped her sword at Willow, who dodged it neatly. Mara was still trying to piece together what was going on. So, she was the succsessor of Dorothy Gale, her lucky glove was this Thyrsos thingy and the demons want that? But why? It was just a glove.
Dorothy showed no mercy. She hacked at Willow, trying to chop her up. Eventually, she managed to land a good right hook on Willow's nose. Willow staggered back, clutching her broken nose and returned a glare at Dorothy. Dorothy swiped the sword at Willow, managing to make a deep cut on her chest. "You give up?" she asked sinisterly. This was obviously not the Dorothy Gale from the movie. From how she was acting, Oz must be completely different.
Willow huffed and pointed at Mara. "This isn't over, new Dorothy!!" she snarled. "We'll have Thyrsos! This I guarentee you!!!" With that, Willow flew away, joining Oak, Birch and Sepia in the air and flying to a far off church steeple. "Keep that glove as close to you as you can." Dorothy told Mara. She smiled at Mara a smile that seemed rare for a woman like her. "It's more important than you think." "So...Y-you're the Dorothy Gale??" Mara asked, sounding like a fan. Dorothy nodded. Mara looked her over and said, "You don't look like the Dorothy I'm familiar with." Dorothy rubbed the back of her neck and sighed, "I know. Baum had a way of streching the truth." She placed her hand on Mara's head and said, "Beleive it or not, Oz was a much darker place than you know."
