Now on to Chapter 3!
*Rose/Kelly*
"Come on Rose! We're almost there." Kelly insisted.
Rose was breathing heavily because of the ridiculously hot sun that was beating on her back with every step they took. Rose had rolled up her jean bottoms in a attempt to cool herself down, but she was still very hot.
Rose gasped, "God it's SOOOOO hot! How can these people stand living in this heat? I'm so glad I brought a water bottle with me to the carnival!"
Kelly took her blue jacket off and tied it around her waist, revealing her pink, spaghetti strap tank top she was wearing underneath. "Hey Rose, can i have some of that water?"
"Sure thing." Rose reached into her messenger bag and handed her the half-filled bottle of water. Kelly took two sips then handed it back. Rose quickly returned the bottle into her messenger bag as they reached the edge of Agribah.
"Hey, we've finally reached the town!" Rose pointed to the crowd of people buying things from vendors, and people shouting at each other trying to get people to buy their goods. The Arids were dressed in shawls and cloaks even in the scorching sun.
"How can they wear all those layers in this heat? Kelly fanned herself with her hand.
"I don't know, i guess they're use to it. Rose replied. Rose noticed that some of the people were staring at Rose and Kelly in distrust and disgust. "Um Kelly, i think we're attracting unwanted attention. Maybe we should go some other way were it isn't crowded.
"Oh please, if they want to stare they can go right ahead." Kelly grabbed Rose's wrist and pushed through the crowd. People continued to stare and backed away when they approached.
"Kelly i really don't think this is a good idea, we don't look anything like these people, we need disguises." Rose pointed out kellys tank top and black shirt. Kelly stopped pulling on Rose's arm.
"I guess your right, we need a cloak or something to fully cover ourselves."
Rose and Kelly continued to nonchalantly walk through the marketplace until a table with cloaks caught Kelly's eye. "Hey we can use those." Kelly whispered so people surrounding them wouldn't hear.
"Yeah, but how are we going to pay for them, I have my wallet but it's not the right kind of money." Kelly thought for a little then came up with a idea. "Rose, you're gonna think this is a bad idea but trust me on this one. You're gonna have to cause a distraction while I steal those cloaks for us." Kelly nodded her head towards a man selling cloaks and shirts on a table.
Rose gasped, "Kelly are you insane! Do you know what they almost did to Jasmine when she gave that little boy a apple. They almost cut her arm off!"
Kelly grabbed Rose's shoulders, "Rose calm down! It's just two cloaks, he won't miss them. Besides that's the only plan we've got." Kelly laid a reassuring hand on Rose's shoulder and gave her a sly smile, "Aladdin steals things all the time so how hard can it be?"
Rose sighed. "OK fine, what kind of distraction do you want me to do?" Kelly started moving closer to the table and glanced back at Rose. " I don't know, you're a actress, improvise."
Kelly waved Rose on towards the crowd while Rose thought of what she should do. But before she could figure something out, a guy with dark hair, a purple vest, and white pants ran into Rose, knocking her to the ground. He was carrying a bunch of apples as well as a monkey on his shoulder that looked very familiar.
"Catch the street rat!" A bunch of guards carrying swards bellowed as they were running towards them. The man helped Rose to her feet and yelled "RUN!" Rose started running with the boy and she realized they were running right towards where Kelly was about to steal the cloaks. "RUN KELLY!"
Kelly's eyes widened as she caught sight of the pair running towards her with the guards following them. After hesitating for a moment, she snatched up two cloaks and started running beside Rose and the man.
"Rose, when I said create a distraction, i didn't mean attract the guards!" Kelly panted while running. Rose yelled back. " It wasn't me, HE ran into me and brought the guards with him!" Rose pointed to the guy who was running slightly in front of them. The group ran down winding alleyways, yet the guards kept up and were starting to gain on them. "Don't let them out of your sight boys!" The lead guard yelled.
Then the man spoke up, "Let's split up, that way it will be harder for them to follow us. You come with me," the boy glanced back and pointed to Kelly. Then he pointed at Rose. "And you go take this next right.
Rose didn't want to split up from Kelly but she realized that the boy had a point. "Fine. Kelly, I'll meet you by the palace gate once we lose the guards." Rose shouted before taking a turn to the right.
"Be careful Rose!" Kelly shouted back as she took a left with the man. Rose continued running down the narrow alleyway and heard the guards stop behind her. She then picked up on the lead guards voice. "You two go over that way, and you three follow me!" Shit, there's more than I imagined!
Rose began to run faster with panic when all of a sudden, she felt a stabbing pain in her ankle and collapsed to the ground, HARD. "Oww." Rose yelped as she landed on the dirty floor. She tried to get up, but when she moved her food another wave of pain went up her leg and she whimpered.
"Lookie here boys, looks like this street rat has had a little tumble. The lead guard and two other guards stood above Rose. Rose recognized him immediately as Razoul from the movie. Rose glared into his black eyes and spit on his shoes.
Razoul backed up and chuckled. "Oh, this one's feisty, let's take her to the sultan to see what punishment she will be given. Grab her boys!" The two other guards grabbed Rose around her arms and lifted her to her feet. She lifted her bad ankle so it wouldn't trail on the ground. "You've got the wrong person! I didn't do anything! That guy in the purple vest stole those apples not me!" Rose tried to reason.
Razoul bent down until he was only a few inches from Roses face. "You're under arrest for indecent exposure. And for insulting a chief guard." Razoul looked at Rose's exposed arms and ankles. Rose shrank away from his bad breath.
"Just be glad that the Grand Vizier Jafar isn't giving you your punishment. If it was up to him, you would be hanged for your crimes.
At the mention of Jafar's name Rose's heart leaped. Surely she could reason with the sultan or Jafar about her condition in Agrabah. Without resisting, Rose hobbled along as the guards lead her towards the palace gates. Rose hoped that the sultan would listen to reason.
So tell me what you think of this epic tale so far by Reviewing!
