A moment silence echoed on the walls of Jasmines bedroom. Jasmine looked
towards the floor, she didn't know what to think. All night she had been
waiting to hear of Aladdin's return but now she wished he'd not been found.
No, not found, captured. The words stung in her stomach. Captured. A sudden
chill swept her skin, she loved Aladdin so much. What had happened to them.
Did he still love her or was this love just an act. She couldn't believe
this sudden thought. They loved each other, what had happened to Aladdin
that made him do such a thing ? It was so out of character … Jasmine sat
and thought. Genie, and Abu gave each other sideward glances, they did not
see what happened so they couldn't really believe it. But Jasmine had seen
it with her own two eyes.
Jasmine looked up from the floor, with a large frown in her eyebrows. Raising her chin slightly in the air she stood upwards from the bed. She was stiff and yet looked so determined. Her hands were clenched together as she walked past the guard very quickly. Before she was upset, but now, she felt anger.
Jasmine started to run slightly down the marble staircase to the 2nd level, she didn't really know what she was going to do. But she had to find out what was going on. She started to pick up speed slightly as she ran down the next staircase. She could hear Abu, Genie and Carpet following her as she ran into the Great hall and abruptly stopped causing them to knock into her and nudge her forward.
Jasmines eyes looked around the large hall. Her Father was standing 5 or 6 metres in front of her surrounded by 11 or 12 guards, one of them being Raoul nursing a bandaged arm. There were also 5 Sultans of neighbouring counties with their sons, 7 princes she had briefly seen before. Talking to her father were 2 Royal Bazirs both she had never seen before.
All eyes in the room looked towards Jasmine and her companions, the room went still. Jasmine couldn't believe the number of people surrounding her, they must have stayed in the Palace, she thought, as they were all invited to the wedding. Immediately her mind fixed on Aladdin, and the wedding. Forcing her eyes to look at the very mixed stares around her she stepped forward and spoke loudly to her father.
" What is going on ? Why are all these people here ? "
Jasmine felt very uncomfortable speaking to her father, for the first time since the attack, in front of all these people. It made there speaking very formal as if they weren't father and daughter.
" … Jasmine we have decided on a course of action to take about what has happened." The Sultan said . He too couldn't believe what was going on. He was angry with Aladdin but was trying to act normal for Jasmines sake.
" How can you decide a course of action when I am not here. Surely I … " but Jasmine didn't get a chance to finish her sentence.
" Jasmine. I will not have you changing or influencing anything we have already said or done. Or even going to do. We have chosen what to do and you have to accept it, as its for your benefit. " The Sultan spoke harsher as he was extremely annoyed. He wanted to get the whole thing dealt with as soon as possible.
" My benefit. How can any of it be in my benefit.. " Jasmine protested.
Abu jumped from foot to foot screeching in agreement, but all eyes looked at him immediately and he stood still and walked back sheepishly behind Carpet.
" What exactly is this course of action anyway " muttered Genie who was standing with Jasmine. The room went even quieter as Genie met a few directed glares from the guests.
The sultan stepped forward and spoke " …Tomorrow morning we will hold a court trial, I and Raoul will give our evidence and a selected Jury present will decide whether Aladdin will have a life sentence or … well. It will all be decided tomorrow. "
" But how can Aladdin have a fair trial when he doesn't even get to say his side of the story. " Remarked Jasmine getting more and more annoyed.
" We already know what Aladdin has done and nothing he can say can change it. I must admit I would like to hear what Aladdin has to say but under the circumstances that is not an option. " Said the Sultan speaking softer as he finished the sentence.
" The circumstances, but I have to know. I'll have to speak to him and find…. " but Jasmine was again interrupted by the Sultan sounding even more annoyed.
" Jasmine I forbid you to go and see Aladdin. "
" But… "
" There are no buts in this at all. We have to face up to what's happened and not try and hide it. He is not to be trusted ! If you go and see him he'll only influence you into…. "
But before the Sultan could finish Jasmine turned around and ran out of the room. Abu and Genie glared around the room and they and carpet walked out.
The Sultan felt very uncomfortable and upset " Excuse me one second please. " The Sultan walked out of the room and found Jasmine crying, siting in the corner of the Entrance hall. He crouched down in front of Jasmine and gently pulled her hands from her face.
" Jasmine…. " he said quietly " I feel just as upset and uncomfortable about this as you do. " He waited for her to speak but Jasmine didn't feel like talking so he carried softly on. " Aladdin was a good friend of mine and I was glad he made you happy. But we have to face up to what has happened. What ever Aladdin would have said in that court tomorrow nothing would have helped. He would have probably got himself into more trouble. " The Sultan paused again before saying " Jasmine I need you to promise you won't go and see Aladdin before the Trial tomorrow. " Jasmine looked up slowly but didn't say anything. " He could influence you as you are still in love with him … This isn't easy for either of us but we'll have to help each other through this . Ok . "
The Sultan looked into his daughters eyes as Jasmine quietly spoke, " I promise Father "
He gave his daughter a hug and smiled. Jasmine tried to smile back but it didn't work to well. The Sultan queitly walked back into the Great hall and Jasmine slowly walked up the stairs to her bedroom.
As Jasmine entered her room Genie, Abu and Carpet made room for her to sit on the bed with them.
" Jasmine " started Genie " we think we should go down and speak with Aladdin. We can easily get passed the guards to .. "
" That's sweet Genie.. But I think we should stay here. You heard what they said… "
" And when has that ever meant anything before. This is Aladdin were talking about Jasmine, we need to know what happened. I can't believe Aladdin would do anything like this and with out an explanation, well we need to know. "
Abu screeched and Carpet gestured with his corners in agreement.
Jasmine was getting more stubborn now as she remembered what Aladdin had jeopardised doing what he did.
" He didn't worry about us for a day when we was upset about what happened. He might not of even come back as he was only captured. " Jasmine was trying to convince herself that she believed what she was saying.
" If we don't go now Jasmine you'll regret it for the rest of your life "
" You 3 go then…." Said Jasmine regretfully.
" Lets go then guys " said Genie " I thought you loved Aladdin. You of all people should believe him…. "
" Its just that … " But before she could finish Abu, Genie and Carpet walked out of the door.
Before Jasmine could even speak a young arrogant prince entered her room.
" Good afternoon princess, I am Prince Paneez. I would like to say how beautiful you are looking today. "
Jasmine was immediately unimpressed. What a cheek walking into my room and after everything that has happened. I was only engaged yesterday !
" Now that you have got rid of the awful street rat there is a chance for you to realise there is more to men than cowardly common fleas."
" What did you say .. " Said Jasmine annoyed, Aladdin was not a coward and he was a lot more decent than almost all the princes put together, what did his life on the streets have to do with who he was. In fact he was the most decent man she had ever met.
" Now, now princess" said the prince tapping his hand on her knee. " I'm sure with your father and mine being such good allies we could arrange another wedding. "
Jasmine just couldn't believe it.
" Could you leave my room please" remarked Jasmine
" But.. "
" Now. " Jasmine said firmer. Prince Paneez snobbishly walked out and Jasmine stood up and pictured Aladdins smiling face in her mind. She knew what she needed to find out. She ran to her balcony and looked over the edge to see Genie, Carpet and Abu walking towards the dungeons.
" Carpet " she shouted fairly loudly into the night air " Wait for me ". The 3 looked back and carpet flew up to her balcony, Jasmine jumped off onto carpet and they flew off to join the others.
" I thought you wasn't coming " smiled Genie .
" Lets just say my mind has been swayed. " Jasmine smiled as they quietly flew to the dungeons in the nights darkness.
