Chapter 7

Spilled Wine

When Robin awoke, he found himself wrapped up in silk sheets and many blankets. Also, he was alone. A fresh pile of cloths lay on the table nearest the bed. Robin sat up to find every muscle in his body was sore. With a groan Robin put on his pitiful garb he had for cloths. Within moments of being clad madam burst through the doors her arms flailing.

"With all the things I have to do and now making you look right too!" she pointed a finger at him "I'm starting to wish you have been fed to the tiger now sit down!"

Roughly Robin was pulled down to the floor and felt his hair being yanked into submission. After that, make up was smashed onto his face. Robin felt extremely dizzy when the Madam shoved him into the hall. Robin found the Sultan and quickly made his why over to him. Taking his place among the other jewels, Robin began to eat some of the food.

Like the other morning many people came up to Slade and asked for things or gave his stuff as usual. But when Robin saw Omar approach Slade something changed. Omar whispered something in Slade's ear. The man became stiff and quickly sent every one away from the room. As Robin left the hall a little confused, a servant handed him a glass of wine saying that he looked parched.

Slade looked at th man before him. "What do you want?"

Omar sat down "I know you are a man of power this little country of yours is quite rich in resources and they would be a great help to my cause."

"You're cause?" Slade's eyes narrowed, he didn't like what this man was saying.

"I want to rid my country of undesirable gusts, because of them my groups of people are having a hard time."

"Who are these gusts?"

Omar lowered his voice "American solders."

Robin walked around the palace until he came upon a garden. With nothing else to do Robin began to walk down one of the many paths. After a bit Robin stood by a stream and looked at the fish swimming rapidly up steam.

"Do you really think I'll help you?!?" Slade bellowed "I refuse to help terrorists' kill solders sorry! I might have issues with the government but I will not sell out those men!" Slade had once been one of those men and as much as he hated to admit it he couldn't betray them.

"I'm sorry to hear that I you had agreed I would have given you this" Omar held up a small bottle of green liquid.

Robin felt trusty looking at the clear water. He looked down at the glass in his hands. The boy lifted the cup to his mouth and let some of it's contents' slip past his lips.

"What's that?"

"The antidote to the poison that has made your little Sapphire mute and forgetful and if I'm right now he should be" Omar thought for a moment "almost dead unless of corse if his drank some of the wine then he's past all saving. Shame he was quite beautiful underneath all that sand."

Omar watched as Slade ran from the room frantically looking for Robin. He had to find that boy before he did something he couldn't undo. It took him far too long to reach the garden. With a shock he saw that the stream had red in it. He fallowed it to find a broken glass and a boy whose eyes were closed and crying tears of blood.

O.O
