Chapter 13

I'm such an idiot. How many times I mumbled the sentence I could not say anymore. I wandered around for some time without really knowing where I am. Well at least not in any cave. Heh. Desperately, I sat down on a stone and rested my head in my hands, out of the corner of my eye I saw a crab crawling along beside me. "You are not by chance Sebastian and can show me the way to the beach?" I asked them. I had not expected an answer, the more I was scared when a really came. "No, I'm not Sebastian, I'm Tom, if Tom is enough for you, I can show you the way to the beach!" For a moment, I lost my speech. "I think Tom ... you're my rescue ... please show me the way. "" Gladly he grinned "Follow me."

Saluk leaned over a piece of parchment when Shun, Genghis and Hakim appeared in front of him. They was pushing in front of him, he did not really notice, when Genghis said, "Saluk, the girl escaped." Saluk looked up and laughed to her surprise. "Do not worry, that's all part of my plan." With these words he wanted to dedicate his parchment, then Shun put the medallion on the table. "She has found a secret cave where it is possible that ..." He did not get any further. Saluk pounded his fist on the table. Everything on it flew into the air. Before the locket flew off, Hakim caught it. "Why is it with her?" He snapped at the three, pointing at the locket held by Hakim. Cautiously, the robbers reported alternately how the girl was pulled into the water and she threw the medallion to them.

Saluk rubbed his eyes to calm himself, leaving him no choice but to send Saleen a message. "You have to bring the medallion to a certain point on the beach to give it back to the girls there. I draw it on a map, take the triplets with you."Why should we give it to her?"Asked Hakim,"As it seems, she trusts you for whatever, otherwise she would not have entrusted you the medallion and Anyway, the girl has to carry the medallion with her, otherwise my whole plan is over, do you understand ?!"

I would have let the thieves in the secret cave, soon I'll get as many new robbers I want, Saluk thought to himself as he saw the three go away.

"And Genie is trapped in here?" Asked Cassim carpet and Abu, the two nodded excitedly. Cassim held the ball against the sunlight and could now see Genie, who was curled up in the ball. He drew his dagger to destroy the ball just as he reached out, holding one hand tight. "I would prefer that!" A beautiful woman stood beside him and stopped him. Even before he could react, carpet fell on the woman and wrapped her in. He had not forgotten Saleen, like Iago and Abu. "Let me go you bedside rug!" She said angry

"Do you know the lady?" Asked Cassim a bit confused "Ah long story, important is that we should not trust her," croaked Jago. Cassim agreed with them.

"This way please, oh and did I already tell you about my other cousins? You will not believe what they have all experienced and ... "

The rest of the words turned into another endless bubbling. I think I knew Tom's whole family now. So talkative, I had not suspected the crab. But I did not want to interrupt the little guy, after all, I owed him that he brought me to the beach.

"That's how we are," he interrupted my thoughts, which were currently revolving around the robbers. Are they looking for me? I stopped and looked up at the surface of the water. The mainland, so close and yet so far away. "What is what are you waiting for?" Asked Tom. "I can not go up ... there's a barrier for me through a spell ..." I told him. "Oh nonsense, you remind me of my uncle, who also believes that always something blocking his way." I ignored Tom, because I heard sounds from the beach, are they about voices? Maybe they could help me somehow?
Ignoring Tom proved to be a mistake, "I simply cured my uncle like that." He pulled out and pinched my leg, I jumped out of the water. "WHAT'S this ?!" I nudged the crab and rubbed the spot where he had pinched me. Only then did I realize that I was on the beach, no barrier. I grabbed Tom "You're the best, how did you do that?"

Tom shrugged his shoulders and pointed with his scissors behind me. I only made "Oh" when I turned around. Curious, Cassim, Jago and Abu looked at me. "How ... how did you escape ?"sayed Saleen astonished. I jumped back a little when I saw Saleen, then realized that she was being held by carpet. "Hold her, she locked me up in her cave!" I said to Cassim. "Tz ..." let only Saleen sound. "Who are you? What's that about clothes anyway? "Cassim looked at me from top to bottom. "That's a long story." I sighed "Then tell me," he encouraged me. But before I could begin my story, I heard closer riders coming. "It's over there!" It was Hakim, Genghis, Shun and the triplets. Quick, they jumped from the horses and built themselves up in front of us.
