Aladdin could see the guards running after him and Cassim, he couldn't believe what had just happened. Jasmine thought he wanted the Sultan dead, the look in her eyes was just unbearable to see as he looked back and saw her standing frozen on the palace wall. No, she wouldn't believe that, she'd think it was just some big misunderstanding. And it was, wasn't it ? Yes of course it was, who was that man, he was going to kill the Sultan. I could see he was standing behind him with a sword over his head. If I hadn't done anything he would be dead now. But Aladdins desperate thoughts were stopped as Iago flew from overhead and spoke.

"Wait a second guys, hey slow down I didn't risk my neck then for nothing, " Cassim stopped the horse as they were now in the desert out of Agrabah.

" Risk your neck, what did you do exactly to help" Aladdin asked annoyed as he jumped off the horse. He then saw his father take the oracle out of his cloak and hold it in the sunlight, Iago must of helped steal it while he was escaping.

"The Oracle, I can't believe you stole it. What were you thinking after everything that's happened" Said Aladdin annoyed.

"I had nothing to loose son, I've waited all my life for this… "

Aladdin didn't know what to do, but his cool thinking brain kicked into order.

"I have to go back ." He said determined ignoring his father.

" Go back, the moment they saw your face your life was over there. " said Cassim

"If theres a punishment, then I'll take it. But I can't do what you did. I won't run away from Jasmine "

"I've never ran away from anything in my life "exclaimed Cassim

" You ran away from Me. From our family. "

" I couldn't come back empty handed, without the hand of Midas.. "

" We didn't want money. We wanted you. But you'll never understand that, will you" Said Aladdin disappointment learing in his voice. " I'm going back, I can't abandoned Jasmine."

" But Aladdin, we have to go. The old father and son thing." Butted in Iago.

" Look, you go Iago, " smiled Aladdin.

"You mean it Al ? " Iago said unsure.

"This is your decision, you go "

" I'll miss you kid… give the monkey a goodbye from me, ok "

" We'd better get going then the sun is almost down. " Iago looked towards Al, and he smiled.

" See you around then …. " Aladdin called as his father started to ride away with Iago by his side. Cassim looked behind, towards Aladdin and Smiled.

" I'll never forget you Aladdin. Never, " And with that they both rode off into the sunset.

Aladdin felt sad to see his father and friend go and turned round to start the walk home. 'Home that is if they believe me' thought Aladdin. 'I'm in such a mess, but hopefully I'll be back in less than an hours walk and try to set things right. I'll have to stop that man ….. I just hope Jasmines ok she'll have to believe me won't she ? ' Al walked for about 5 mins thinking everything through when a large guard with deep red eyes grabbed him from behind and punched him round the face. Aladdin tried to fight back but was soon tied up and dropped in the sand. Aladdin could now see the guard properly. He was very tall and fat with big muscular shoulders and an aggressive ugly face. But his most promenant feature was his deep red eyes.

" What are you doing " shouted Aladdin.

" Never you mind, Aladdin." How did he know my name ? Al thought immediately. I've never seen him before.

"Don't worry I'll take you home. Tomorrow morning will be just right."

He laughed loudly staring at Aladdin.

" But I need to get back, Jasmine will think I've left her. That I did do something wrong and only am back because you captured me…. "

" That's the idea ……Hahahaha "The guard struck Aladdin around the head with his foot leaving him unconscious in the sand.

" I'll make you pay for what you have done, Aladdin. I'll ruin your life. "

Meanwhile at the palace ……..

It was 4 am, Jasmine had waited all night at her balcony to see if Aladdin came back to her. But no, he was gone. She couldn't understand, why had he done this. What had happened, had he only pretended to love her. Jasmine was still crying into Rajahs soft fur. She hadn't stopped all night. She thought Aladdin was different. The one, who didn't love her because of her status just because he loved her for what was inside. Maybe he didn't try to attack her father, maybe he just slipped or was just running in his direction. But he did cut Raouls arm, with his sword. And he did run away. And he didn't come back, he didn't come back for her. For his friends.

Genie, Abu and Carpet were waiting inside Jasmines room too. They didn't believe that Al was too blame. At least they tried to think that, but it was so hard when Al wasn't there. It was if he did do something wrong and had left them as if he didn't care.

Soon it was morning and Jasmine came off the balcony into her room, she looked dreadful and felt it too. Her 3 friends looked at her and gave her a hug, they sat on the bed together and just stared. It made a change that Genie wasn't saying anything, they had all noticed Iago had gone but they didn't really think about it too much. What Aladdin had done was on their minds too much.

After 5 or so minutes a guard knocked on Jasmines door.

" Come In " She managed to say .

" Princess, Its Aladdin."

The room went still.

" He's been captured by a guard. "

Captured. Then it was true, he was back but not because he wanted too. Because he was caught. Jasmines heart and her companions hearts sunk.
