Page 14 of Witch Queens: Tales from Oz

But I knew that my sister cared for me, and I was actually happy to see her. Mostly, I was glad to get off of Scarecrow’s death machine.

When we rolled into her territory, some of the giants waved in greeting. They tended to keep to themselves, as a rule, but they were always respectful to the royal family.

“Well, if it isn’t one of the twinkle toes,” my sister's amused voice washed over me. I couldn’t help the grin that spread across my face.

“Who is that old witch talking about?” I launched myself at her, and we almost went sprawling to the ground.

“It’s good to see you, Indy,” her sparkling green eyes were the exact replica of mine and El’s. But Mombi had thick red hair that flowed down her back. And her body was one that had men salivating.

I noticed that beyond a first glance, Scarecrow hadn’t let his gaze linger. I stored that information in my head for later.

“Good to see you too, Mombi,” I breathed heavily, “But I am not here for a social call.”

She raised one of her perfectly formed eyebrows and I desperately wanted to know how to do it. Mombi has always been a siren and I wanted to exude the confidence that she did.

“You had better come inside then, so we will talk. Are you bringing in the eye-candy as well?”

I flushed, realizing that I hadn’t said anything about traveling with Scarecrow.

“Mombi, you know Scarecrow,” I motioned over to him.

Her smile was seductive, “I do, what brings you here, Outlaw?”

He smiled back, and I had the sudden urge to stomp on his foot. I didn’t like how friendly he and my sister were acting.

Did they have a history?

“I'm working under the orders of my Princess,” he bowed, and I choked.

Scarecrow had never workedunderanyone unless you count the time I was grinding on his cock.

He winked at me like he knew what I was thinking—dammit!

Mombi’s smile widened, “Well then, this is a story I cannot wait to hear.”
