Recap:

He felt his heart quicken and his knees shake. He turned to face her, she wore a deep blue belly dancer's top that revealed her entire midriff, with coins that tinkled through movement. Her gypsy pants sat at her hips from a low slung belt which also had coin bells on it. The pants had a slit the size of her leg down the side and tightened again at the ankles. She wore a rectangular face veil that sat underneath her nose but transparent enough, her lips could be seen. Aladdin stared at her for a moment. She smiled, "I'll take that as a yes" she pulled off the veil and kissed him full on the lips.

Jasmine walked through the marvellous city. She'd begun to feel very odd, as though someone were following her. She spun around, but nobody was there. She clutched Aamira's reins tightly in fear and continued walking worriedly. Suddenly a shadow appeared next to hers. "What in the…" she turned around but the shadow disappeared. Her palms grew sweaty and she shook in panic. She kept walking, but kept turning her head around to see what was behind her. Suddenly, without looking, she bumped into something. She fell backwards and landed on the sand. She looked up, and the moment she saw she saw who was standing in front of her mouth went dry.

"Hello Princess," said the voice of Mozenrath.

Chapter 6:

Jasmine stared in shock at the sudden appearance of Mozenrath. He stood above her, almost looming over her. "Mozenrath…" she gasped. He looked at her with an unreadable expression. "I'm flattered, you remember" he said bluntly. Jasmine struggled to her feet. She opened her mouth to speak, but found she didn't know what to say. Mozenrath grabbed her wrist and pulled her into the city. "All explanations will be reserved for later" he said.

Aladdin felt Nadira's lips touch his. For a moment, everything was blurred. The kiss was so soft, so gentle, that he found himself giving in to it. Nadira's arms slid around his neck. Then Aladdin realised what he was doing and pulled away abruptly. Nadira simply looked at him, with her arms still wrapped around him. He stared at her smouldering eyes. He almost felt like kissing her again. Realising his arms were still laced around her waist, he let go. "What are you doing…?" he said to himself more than her. "What do you mean?" she said breathily as she leaned in again. Aladdin unlocked himself from her embrace. "What…what am I doing!" he said as he sat down on one of the cushions. Nadira laughed sexily. "Nothing, it was just a kiss!" she said as she lay down dramatically across the cushions. She looked up in to his eyes, and then looked away quickly. "But I'm married…" he said. Nadira laughed again. "Handsome, listen, it was a kiss and nothing more, it didn't mean anything, you've still got your wife," she said as she poured herself a drink.

Aladdin turned around so that he wouldn't face her. He stood up and paced around the carriage. "I love Jasmine…what was I thinking!" he said to himself, putting his face in his hands. Nadira followed after him. "Look, as far as I'm concerned you did nothing wrong, in fact, what you did was very, very…good" she crooned seductively. Aladdin stepped away from her. "I'm going for a walk outside, by myself" he said clearly as he stepped out of the carriage. Nadira's smoulderingly sexy eyes turned into flames of anger the moment he left. "Oh I was so close," she said furiously. She picked up a bottle and threw it across the carriage where it smashed into tiny pieces.

The market place of Efram was bustling with merchants and villagers. Genie, Iago, Abu and Carpet had followed Asaf and his group of nomads in hope they would find Aladdin and Jasmine. "This is where I leave you," Asaf said as he turned around on his camel. Genie nodded his thanks "Our most heartfelt thanks goes out to you" he said. Asaf nodded and waved then turned and rode off with his group behind him.

"So, here we are" Iago said plainly. "Here we are!" Genie said in reply. "I still can't believe you don't know how to find them with your magic! I mean you're an all powerful Genie, this should be as easy as being blue for you!" squawked Iago loudly.

Genie shook his head "I am again forced to repeat to you…" he paused to take in a breath "Magic like that doesn't come back to you straight away, there is more to being a Genie than being able to just make this happen with a snap of my fingers!" he concluded. Iago closed his beak crankily. Abu looked up at Genie inquisitively. "Well little monkey, I wonder how we go a bout finding them" Genie said reading Abu's mind. Abu curled up in fear for his friends.

"Sure you have no problem reading the monkey's mind, but can't find Al and Jas, how pathetic!" Iago said angrily. Genie looked at Iago then his face lit up. "What are you glowing brighter than a candle for?" Iago said. Genie lowered his voice "Listen, in Efram, there is supposed to be a statue of the Angel of Friendship, Farah" Genie said excitedly. Iago looked at him strangely "Exactly how does that help us?" Genie crouched down to his level. "Farah's statue was supposedly blessed by Allah himself and she also blesses people's wishes for their friends, if we go there, perhaps some good will come for Aladdin and Jasmine?" he finished hopefully. Iago pondered that thoughtfully, wondering if this was just another Arabian myth. "What have we got to lose?" he said reluctantly.

Mozenrath dragged Jasmine through the labyrinth of the city until they reached what was Wazir's palace. "Let go of me!" screeched Jasmine as she fell back against her horse. Mozenrath's grip on her wrist tightened as he dragged her up the winding stairs of the small palace. They entered a room where mountains of gold and jewels were scattered across the ground. A design of a cobra's head was one of the walls. Mozenrath twisted the cobra head and a wall swung open.

"This way!" he said brusquely. Jasmine was yanked through the opening and then down more stairs until they reached a dungeon like room. Mozenrath lit a wooden torch and put it in the torch holder of the wall. The room lit up and Jasmine could see the room clearly. A large cauldron sat in the middle and countless bottles and object's cluttered the stone shelves. Several scrolls were hung on the wall, including the most intricate star chart Jasmine had ever seen.

"What is the meaning of all this!" Jasmine said as she crossed her arms. Mozenrath stood squarely in front of her, he swung around, with his robes sweeping the floor, and he proceeded to sit down on a magnificent throne in the corner.

Jasmine continued glaring at him. "You said I would get an explanation, so where is it!" she said as frustration built up inside her. Mozenrath pale face formed a wicked smile. "If only I could explain, I think I'll leave it to someone else to tell you" he said. Jasmine looked at him strangely. If only she knew, he thought to himself Princess of Agrabah, you are going to love who I have for you to meet! Jasmine looked at him strangely, her jewelled band casting a glow in the dim light of the room.

Nothing will get this beautiful jewel of Agrabah out of this he thought. "Do you have Aladdin!" she demanded. Mozenrath looked shocked at the question "Aladdin is missing! Why this is great news for my friend," he said in thought. Jasmine looked at Mozenrath, her eyes were a mixture of with worry and anger. She clenched her fists in rage. Mozenrath stood up and pulled a vial off a shelf and cast it to the ground. The liquid inside changed into a gas and diffused in the air. Jasmine felt dizzy as gas continued to spread. Her body grew limp and lost her balance. She felt to the ground. Mozenrath walked over to the fallen princess, unaffected by the gas. "Aladdin is missing…And you're captured, this will definitely please my friend" he said deviously.

Aladdin walked away from Nadira's carriage. His mind was full of confusion. He hadn't kissed her, she had kissed him, but he'd given in to it. He rubbed his head in thought. In the corner of his eye, he could see the town of Efram. He walked towards Efram, his head still full of uncertainty. "What have I done!" he reprimanded himself. I wish I was with Jasmine, and the others he thought I…don't even know what happened to them.

He'd arrived in Efram and began walking through the passageways of sandstone buildings. Suddenly a sharp outburst of noise came from behind him. He spun around to see a girl in rags, scream as a cart of barrels was collapsing in front of her. Aladdin's mind cleared momentarily as he dove to push the girl out of the way of the barrels that were about to collide with her.

The girl hit the ground with a thud with Aladdin landing next to her. Aladdin got up quickly and lent his hand to help her stand. The girl took his hand and rose slowly. "Are you alright? Sorry for pushing you over" Aladdin said apologetically. He looked at the girl carefully. She looked about fifteen. Her thin body was covered in a torn dress. She had matted dark that hung over her shoulders that, despite being messy, framed her beautiful face in an attractive manner. "Thank you…for what you did," she said slowly.

Aladdin smiled "No problem! What's your name?" Aladdin said as cheerfully as he could manage. "I'm Tali, I'm fourteen years old" she said shyly. Aladdin and Tali began walking together. "I was trying to get some food for myself, I don't make much money, and after all, no one hires girls in this place well, not for anything I'd want to do! So I was trying to steal a few dates from that man's cart when the barrels came down" she said disgustedly. Aladdin nodded knowingly.

They continued walking and began to share stories about their lives as street rats. Suddenly they arrived at the village square, where everyone appeared gathered in front of a statue. "Hey Tali, what's going on here?" Aladdin asked. "This is where the statue of Farah, the Angel of Friendship is, people often gather at this time to pray and wish for their friends, it's a silly thing, but it gives people hope" Tali said.

Aladdin looked up at the magnificent statue ahead of him. A woman in an elaborate gown was carved in gold. The statue held a staff, bedecked in jewels. Many Townsfolk had gathered in front of the statue to bestow wishes upon their friends. Aladdin sighed at the thought of his missing friends. Tali sensed Aladdin's pain. "If I may be so bold as to ask, what's wrong?" Tali said. Aladdin hung his head in sadness. "Well…" Aladdin continued and told the whole story of the purpose of the journey, the sandstorm and how he didn't know where anyone was.

Tali listened sympathetically. Aladdin slumped against a building wall and sighed heavily. Tali looked from Aladdin to up at the statue. "Maybe you could wish to Farah, you know, a little luck for your friends?" she said hopefully. Aladdin smiled weakly "Maybe," he said as he stood up slowly. He looked at the statue in the corner of his eye "Maybe"

Nadira's anger had calmed, and a cunning plan was entering her mind. "Aladdin will be mine, because no man ever escapes me!" she chanted to herself. She raised her hand and a burst of wind shot out. She channelled the wind to pick up her veil in the corner of her carriage. Then she shot more wind out of her hands, this time, creating enough to hold her up into the air, as though she were flying. Expertly she controlled the wind to carry her wherever necessary in the carriage. She smiled craftily. "Just wait Aladdin," she said as the diminished the winds to lower her back down "Just wait"

Genie and the gang had arrived at the statue of Farah. "Well" said Genie proudly "This is Farah, Angel of Friendship" Iago, Carpet and Abu eyes wandered from the base of the statue to Farah's refined head. Slowly they all crept over to it. They bent down to bestow their wishes (A/n they do not pray to Farah, they bestow wishes on their friends) Abu pouted sadly. Iago flew right up to the statue to look at the jewels on the staff. He wolf whistled "Look at those gem—" Genie appeared in front of him with his arms crossed. "Huh huh, sorry!" he said meekly.

They all bent down in front of the statue seriously after that. Abu finished his wishes and looked up. Then, in the corner of his eye, he saw someone. It was Aladdin, with some street girl! He jumped up and down in excitement, waving his arms about as he squealed. Iago looked up "Shut up monk—" he said before Abu grabbed his head and pointed it at Aladdin, who she could see was approaching the statue.

"Holey mother of Farah!" he squawked. He proceeded to flutter around the concentrating Genie. "Genie, look, it's Aladdin!" he yelled. Genie looked up. He saw where the others were pointing and Carpet swooped under him to take him to Aladdin. "Wait for us!" shouted Iago as he and Abu followed Carpet and Genie. "Aladdin!" they all yelled in unison.

Aladdin spun around at the call of his name. Tali looked him strangely. "What is it?" she asked. "I thought…someone was calling my name!" he said excitedly. He looked around, his gaze shifting from side to side. "Alllaaaaddddiiiiiiiinnnnnnn" yelled the gang. Aladdin looked behind him and saw Carpet and the others speeding crazily to him. His heart filled with joy and relief. "Guys! Watch ou—" his voice was interrupted by the gang crashing against the wall.

Tali watched in amazement. "Guys, you're here!" he said ecstatically. The genie and the others, who were seeing stars, smiled wobbly. Abu, the only one who wasn't dizzy, ran and climbed up Aladdin's leg and on to his shoulder. "Abu!" he exclaimed cheerfully. The others returned to their normal state and gathered around Aladdin. "Praise Allah! Thank you Farah!" exclaimed Genie and Iago. Tali smiled at the reuniting going on in front of her. "Tali, meet my gang" Aladdin he said before introducing everyone.

"So have you seen Jasmine?" Aladdin said hopefully. Genie shook his head unhappily. "Unfortunately not, we thought you went after her" explained Genie "We only got here because a friendly nomad offered his help to us" Aladdin breathed deeply in disappointment. Tali looked at the sadness reflected on his face. He really loves Jasmine, I really should help him find her, after all, he did more than save from barrels, if the fruit merchant had seen me, I would have had my hand cut off. Yes, I definitely must help.

"Aladdin, I wish to help you find Jasmine" she said confidently. Genie stopped and stared at the gutsy girl. "But you don't need to being doing that," Aladdin said. "You saved me, and if I have any values, I will do the same" she said adamantly. Aladdin smiled at her courage and determination. He felt there was definitely something about her that reflected his own behaviour and attitude. "Alright," he said. Tali smiled. "Now Genie, let's find Jasmine!" Aladdin said. He was determined, he would find his wife, or die trying.

Jasmine lay immobile in a dungeon cellar. She felt as though she was asleep, a dreamless, unnatural sleep. Her eyes felt heavy and her head still felt dizzy from the sudden intoxication she suffered. Numbness shot throughout her body. Her breathing was slow and unsteady. She tried to wake up, but the effects of the gas had not completely worn off. She managed to hear everything around her though, if somewhat blurred. The eerie noises of the dungeon rang clearly in the still air, as thought they were taunting Jasmine. Suddenly a voice could be heard wafting through from another cellar. It was Mozenrath's, she was sure, and he was speaking to someone.

"She is here…No they weren't there…but I'm told he is missing" said Mozenrath. Jasmine listened more closely as only parts of his conversation could be heard. Jasmine heard muffled sounds of the other voice, it sounded familiar but she couldn't place it. "That is partially in our favour…but the boy…the street rat…I've learnt that you mustn't underestimate that insolent fool" said the indistinct voice. Mozenrath argued "We have the princess…surely it isn't—" "It is necessary to capture that fool, or our plan may never be carried out!" interrupted the voice. Jasmine listened more intently as her heart quickened in fear for Aladdin. "I have cast a spell of invisibility on the city, so no outsiders, aside from our chosen few, can see the city," Mozenrath said. Jasmine felt her stomach churn in fright. "It isn't enough! WE MUST be sure to capture that bloody street rat…or else" the voice threatened. A chill ran up Jasmine's spine. Her mind was filled with alarm.

She recognised the voice.
