Chapter 6: The Secret of the Sun

Disclaimer: Aladdin, Jasmine and Co. are copyright of Disney and I used them without permission. This idea came from Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Normal Again, which belongs to Joss Whedon. The ep 'Normal Again' was written by Diego Gutierrez so tons of credit to both of them. The title of this chapter comes from the song Aura off the .Hack//sign OST soundtrack. (*) means the character is thinking. (^^^) is when the place changes from Agrabah to the institution. (~) is the voice. Only the 1st part of this is in Aladdin's POV.
~You should know better Alan! All you have to do is play along with the game. BUT NO! You fight it! Great idea. Lets sit here in this room forever while you play hero in your make believe world. Sick sick boy.~
"Shut up! I am not Alan! I'm Aladdin!"
~Sure you are. Just keep telling your self that. Just tell me Alan, would Aladdin be here talking to himself? Doesn't sound much like a hero, now does it? Come on Alan. Can't you see the truth? Your nothing but a sick crazy boy. What's more believable? A boy who has a genie, is in love with a princess and flys on carpets or a normal sick boy who just thinks he is a hero?~
"Shut up. Shut up," Everytime I said it I got louder. "Shut up. Shut Up! SHUT UP!"
I rocked back and forth with my keens against my chest as my tears fell down my face. *I know who I am. I don't need anyone to tell me. I know who I am. At least I think I know who I am. Nothing feels real. What if I'm wrong? What if I am just a sick boy?"
I sat there, tears coming down, against the wall, my voice nothing but a whisper. "I don't know what to believe anymore."
{If you are near to the dark I will tell you 'bout the sun You are here, no escape From my visions of the world You will cry all alone But it does not mean a thing to me-Aura}
Aladdin's sobbing made Jasmine look up from the book she was looking through. They had moved most of Jafar's books into his room in case Aladdin woke up. She put her book down and came to Aladdin's bed side.
"Aladdin?" She didn't know why she tried. Aladdin was again trapped in a nightmare that wouldn't end. He was lost in his own mind, unable to find the way out. Jasmine pushed his bangs back, without even touching his forehead, she knew his fever had gotten worse.
"Hows he doin'?" Genie stood beside her.
Jasmine shook her head. She held Aladdin's hand. Dispite his fever his hands felt like ice. He let out a whimper and shivered.
Genie sighed sadly. "I just don't get it! We've got every book we can fit in here," He turned, pointing at the books. "But we can't fine a thing. Are you sure you don't remember Mozenrath doing anything magic. Saying a spell or something."
Jasmine shook her head again. "Me and Iago were knocked out, if Mozenrath did something we didn't see it."
"But there has to be something!"
"Look, Blue Boy, we told ya," Iago flew in front of Genie's face. "we didn't see a thing. When we woke up was when Mozenrath was...." He trilled off, as we would say a lightbulb had turned on. "That's it!"
"What Bird Man? This is no time for 20 questions."
"He stab Al." Iago pointed to Aladdin's arm.
"Yeah, and?" Genie asked confused.
"The dagger!" Jasmine finally understood. " The spell is in the dagger."
"The dagger!" Jasmine finally understood. " The spell is in the dagger."
"Ding ding, we have a winner!" Iago flew over to where Carpet and Abu where. "Monkey! Rug! Come with me."
They returned shortly with a lager book Iago was all ready looking through. He soon found what he was looking for.
"There it is!" He pointed to the page. "The wizard Vetis trap the demons of delusion and fear in magic realm, then made this dagger that could draw on the powers of the demons. Using this dagger who could get people to believe almost anything. With the dagger he could warp things, making it so the person under the spell wouldn't know fact from fiction."
Jasmine felt like hugging Iago. "How do we break the spell?"
Iago's smile faded and in one of those rare moments she could see the sadness in his eyes. "We can't."
"Only Al can break the spell. And that will only happen when he believes that Agrabah is real without a doubt. And I hate to say it Princess, but I don't think that Aladdin sure of anything right now."
Jasmine looked back at Aladdin. He shivered and started to sob again. Jasmine felt her heart break into a million pieces. She sat next to him and took his hands in hers.
"He'll know whats real. I know it. He has won Mozenrath before. He'll do it again."
