Tears of happiness began to fill her eyes. She reached out to touch my face and I backed away from her. She isn't my mother. A part of me wanted her to be, but I know better. My mother died years ago. I closed my eyes tight and got as close against the wall as I could. *Please! I want to go home. I can't stand to be here for another mintue.*
"Alan, please keep your eyes open. Stay here with us please." She begged.
I looked up at her, trying to keep from crying. I shook my head, not wanting to believe it's her.
"No. This isn't real. Your dead." Her tears began to fall, there was fear and sadness in her eyes now. "This is all in my mind. Mozenrath...
"Alan, no." The Dr. Rosenberg said. "This is real. Agrabah and Mozenrath isn't real. You have to know somewhere in your mind that it's true."
My 'mother' nodded her head. "Alan, you have to listen to the doctor to get better. To come home again you have to get better."
"No! This isn't my home! My home is Agrabah! And I am not Alan!" I was shaking hard. "Your dead! Both of you are dead!"
She looked heart broken. "Alan. Sweetheart, please..." She reached out to me again.
"Don't touch me!" I snapped at her. I looked in her eyes and felt ashamed of myself. The look in her eyes was such suffering and sadness. I told myself that she wasn't real but just the fact that this figment wore the face of my mother made it unbearable. I put my head in my hands and sobbed. "Oh Allah, please make this stop. I can't stand it. I can't..."
I pushed away from them and...
^^^ Found myself looking into Jasmine's eyes, worry and fear written all over her face. I blinked a few times, trying to figure out what just happened.
"Jasmine?" My voice was barley above a whisper. "Did I hurt you?"
"No." She walked over to me and took my hand. "I'm just worried about you. You were talking to your self and... " She touched my face.
I reached up and felt tears on my face. I brushed them away fast. I didn't want Jasmine to see me like this. "I... I didn't mean to..." I hanged my head in shame.
"It's okay. You don't have to be the brave one all the time." She looked into my eyes and smiled. "Do you trust me?"
I smiled. "Yes, always." I looked around the room and found that the others were gone. "Where did Genie and the guys go?"
"They went to Jafar's tower to try to find a spell to help you. You had us so worried. One moment you were fine and the next you passed out."
"I'm sorry. I don't know what happened. I hope Genie found something." *I don't know if I can take another one of those flashes I sighed. "Well, lets see if they need some help."
We started to walk to Jafar's old tower in silence, as we walked Jasmine keep starring at me.
"Is everything okay Jasmine? Your starring at me."
"Aladdin, why were you crying?" she asked gently.
I was a little stunned by her question, I didn't know what to say. Should I tell her? Why not? But for some reason I could bring my self too.
"Umm, I really don't remember. I'm sure it was nothing." I brushed the topic off like it was nothing and started to walk way, hoping that she would just leave it be.
Jasmine caught my arm to make me stop. *Silly me, I should know Jasmine better to know she wouldn't believe me.*
"No, it was something. Aladdin, please don't lie to me. I've have never seen you so upset before."
"I'm not upset. Whatever it was it doesn't matter. It's not real Jasmine, it's Mozenrath's spell." I looked at her and smiled. "Do you trust me?"
"Well, okay." She didn't sound so sure but smiled anyway.
We walked into the tower where Genie and the guys were looking through some books. Genie looked up and smiled when he saw me.
"Al! Your okay. I was worried about you buddy."
"Sorry Genie. I'm not sure what happened." I sat down at the table. "Did you find anything?"
"Well, after looking into anything that has to do with mind control and alternate worlds, I have found...nothing. Sorry Al."
I stared off for a minute. *What I am going to do now?* "It's okay Genie. You tried. And they might still go away. We can keep looking." I got up. "Maybe we should go to the Citadel. Mozenrath has to have the spell there."
"Al, I hate to break it to you but," Iago landed on my shoulder. "your not in ANY shape to go up against Mozenrath! Look what Wonder Boy did to you last time!"
"I know Iago, but I don't think I can stay this way."
"Sure you can! You'll get use to it. It beats bein' dead any day of the week."
"No, Iago. You don't know what it's like. I can't stay this way. I don't think..."
I suddenly felt so light-headed. I fell back down into my seat and rested my head on my hands. *Please, don't let it happen again.*
"Al? Kid, you don't look so good." Genie sounded worried.
I looked up and nothing looked right. Everything was wavy, it was like I was underwater. I heard someone say something but I could tell who it was or what they had said. I wanted to scream, colours spinning all around me and the noise was unbearable. I closed my eyes tight and put my hand over my ears. *Make it stop! Please. It hurts too much. It has to stop!* And that what happened. It just stopped...
