Meanwhile the real Maeve was banging on the way and screaming.
"Don't waste your breath, they can't hear you" smiled Yassil evilly.
"My friends will come back for me" Maeve assured him. "They'll see right through that clone and they'll hunt you down"
"Maybe" agreed Yassil. "But then again, why would they want to? That clone is everything you're not. Maybe they won't want the real you back"
"What are you talking about?" asked Maeve, seriously annoyed at his smug look.
"You'll soon find out"
"You're wrong, my friends WILL return for me"
"And IF they do" Yassil emphasized. "They'll all die"
He smiled as he walked out, leaving Maeve to wonder if they would come back for her, and if she really wanted them to.

"Maeve, it's so good to see you again" smiles Denzel as he hugged Maeve (or the clone that looked like Maeve).
"It's good to see you again too handsome" smiled the clone.
Sinbad watched as she pinched his ass before sashaying off to catch up with the others. Sinbad caught her arm and pulled her aside.
"Maeve, are you feeling alright?" he asked worriedly.
"Better then ever captain" she laughed. "Wow" she added. "You have the most beautiful blue eyes"
"Thanks" said Sinbad weirdly. "You have pretty eyes too" he added out of politeness and as a reason to take a better look at her eyes. What he saw made him gasp. Long gone was the flame that was Maeve, what was left was just a massive gaping hole. An empty void, right where her soul used to be.
"Maybe when we get back to the boat we can be truly alone and I'll show you just how pretty I can be" flirted Maeve as she whispered in his ear. Sinbad's eyes widened but he played along so as not to alert her incase Yassil was watching.
"And maybe I'll let you see how pretty I can be too" he responded.
As she raised her eyebrow, smirked and glided off again, leaving the captain with one thought. 'That's not Maeve'
'I agree' said Dermott suddenly.
'You do?' Sinbad asked him.
'Yes. Maeve hasn't spoken to mew once since we freed her. That's not like her at all'
'Your right' agreed Sinbad as he jogged to catch up with the others.

"See" smirked Yassil. "He already likes his new friend. Don't you think they make a lovely couple?"
"He'll see right through her and come back for me" argued Maeve, a little less sure then she was before.
"But little witch" returned Yassil evilly. "You're forgetting that Sinbad is male, after all, and men all want the same thing. The clone can give him what he needs; it's not as if you ever did"
"Sinbad isn't like that"
"He's male, isn't he?"
"I don't care what you say. They will come back for me"
"Have it your way" smirked Yassil as he made his way out of the room, taking the looking pool with him and leaving Maeve to worry alone.
