Chapter 21

Chapter 21- Take Me As I Am

Scarecrow's pov

Dorothy: " Scarecrow? "

I open my eyes widened then turn around quickly to see Dorothy on her beautiful green dress that she was wearing and she tied her hair into a different style. This shocked me that I didn't expect that she was here an hour or so, I couldn't open my mouth as if my mouth is jammed but I managed to ask her:

Scarecrow: " Dorothy? What are doing here? "

Dorothy: " I was looking for you, the others told me that you should be with us celebrating our victory from the war, but you weren't with us... please tell me "

Scarecrow: " I... I just need some time alone, I just wanted to be alone for a moment, p-please just... j-just go with the others... a-and don't worry I'll be there "

Dorothy: " I'm not going anywhere Scarecrow... I just... I just wanted to apologize to you "

I backed away a little bit, I felt something... it seems like... I was scared but for what? There's gotta be a reason why I'm scared nor afraid then she open her mouth to speak again:

Dorothy: " I just wanted to apologize "

Scarecrow: " a-a-apologize? You? Dorothy, there's nothing that you could apologize for Dorothy "

Dorothy: " but there is... if you still remember that night... that night from the ball, where you took me to the gardens so that we could talk privately and then... "

Scarecrow: " then, Shadow took control of my body and my consiousness... yes... yes, I remember... but... you don't have to apologize about it... I should be the one who will apologize to you because... I hurt you even the innocents ones "

I sigh in stress as I rubbed the bridge of my nose, I could hear Dorothy's footsteps coming towards me this alarm me really quickly when I look at Dorothy she was abou to step closer with me but I pushed her away from me so that way I could not hurt her or if SHADOW tried to hurt her

Scarecrow: " Dorothy... you have to distance yourself from me "

Dorothy: " why? Scacrecrow... you wouldn't do this to m- "

Scarecrow: " I'm SICK and TIRED of Shadow hurting and killing people here in Oz so I have to distance myself from the others especially you Dorothy, I'm tired of this senerios already, the screams, the cries, the begged that I always hear whenever Shadow took control of me... I'm TIRED of it... so when you came along and return to Oz this worried me so much "

I could feel my tears were falling and going down to my face, I could see Dorothy's surprise on her face I think it was her first time to see me cry

Scarecrow: " I wanted to tell you this already but on second thought nevermind but... when the ball comes to play I wanted to tell you this really quick because it was getting worse for me but when you said those words coming from your mouth it makes me thought that... I am no longer good or evil... so I rather spend here alone and distance myself to the others, Glinda, Jasmine, and even you... so please I beg of you Dorothy... leave NOW "

Everything was so quiet in the ballroom, until Dorothy broke the silence in this room

Dorothy: " Scarecrow... your wrong... you see, I read your journal, I read the senerios you did while I was away for 16 years ago... and the last journal entry this shocked me... I wanted to say sorry because I told you those words to you that day... even though I release and spoke the truth but that wasn't the truth that I'm going to spoke off "

Dorothy step closer towards me I backed away from her but she was so fast that she went closer and closer to me, I could feel my tense for this but then she wipe away my tears that had been driee and kept falling into my eyes and said:

Dorothy: " Scarecrow... you are not chaos... you were just created as a person that it tear into two parts of your personality good and evil "

She then hugged me which caught me off gaurd about this and then she said:

Dorothy: " I don't need a good man... I've already had a person who is good already from the start... that person... was you "

I hugged her back, I close my eyes and felt relief. I always thought that when my secrets has been exposed to Dorothy at first she was angry but now... when I look into her face she really means it... she really means to forgive me and I forgive her to-

Scarecrow: " ugh! "

Dorothy: " Scarecrow? What's wrong? "

Scarecrow: " it-it's Shadow *groan* he-he wants to b-be in control *groan deeply* "

I kneeled down because of the pain that I'm feeling, I open my eyes to see Dorothy with a terrified expression on her face, I put hands on her cheek while I was shivering and groaning very deeply

Scarecrow: " Dorothy, *grunt* p-please, I need y-you to ge-get *groan* out of here... I d-don't wa-wanted to hur-hurt you "

Dorothy: " I'm not leaving you in here just to suffer and see you in pain I wanted to hel- "

Scarecrow: " GET OUT OF HERE!!!! "

I felt my voice had changed I let go of Dorothy just groaning so deeply while I was battling Shadow to come out, I could feel that I'm losing the battle my senses are fading away until I felt someone lifted my chin up, it was Dorothy, she wasn't leaving me in here I told her so desperately to leave the ballroom but she wasn't leaving me here just yet then she spoke again:

Dorothy: " Scarecrow, listen to me... follow my breathing "

I did what she told me to do, to follow her breathing and it worked I felt calm, the pain went away and my vision was return back to me. I look at Dorothy then I hugged her so badly that she caught it off gaurd about it then I spoke in a shaky tone

Scarecrow: " *shivers* you should get outta here, it's not safe from you to be around whenever Shadow took control "

Dorothy: " I don't care, at least I was here to help my dear old friend "
