Recap: Cassim felt a tear escape him. He hugged Tali tightly "Daughter, I have faith in you, so go! Rescue your brother and Jasmine!" he said encouragingly. Tali smiled, trying her hardest not to cry.

She let go of her father and walked straight ahead towards the city. "Ok guys, I'm going in!" she said bravely.

Chapter 16:

Cassim and the others watched as Tali walked away and suddenly disappeared. "Cassim! Where did she go?" burst out Iago.

Cassim continued to stare at the empty space his daughter walked into. I shouldn't have let her go! What sort of Father am I? He thought worriedly.

"Umm Cassim, What are we gonna do?" asked Iago "Sit here and fry while we wait for her?" he said with a vigorous flap of his wings. "Iago, that is precisely what we will do" replied Cassim. I will wait here until my children return!

Tali walked ahead nervously. Every anxious step she took made her wonder if she was really "the one" to save them. Why me? She thought. Trembling, she continued to wander through the city, searching, for where Aladdin might be.

"What the hell have you done to my wife?" Aladdin yelled furiously. Jafar grinned in return "You're so impatient Aladdin! You will find out in time!" Aladdin felt his blood boil. "What have you done to her!" he yelled again.

"Tsk, tsk, why don't you ask Jasmine?" replied Jafar pointing to Jasmine, whose eyes had fluttered open. Aladdin spun around to see Jasmine pushing herself up slowly.

Immediately he knelt down to her. "Jasmine, are you ok? What did he do to you?" Aladdin asked worriedly as he took her hand to support her.

"I-I don't know" she said dazedly. Jasmine rose shakily. "I feel so strange," she muttered. Aladdin turned to Jafar, whose eyes were flashing victoriously.

"Oh Jasmine, you said you would be my wife, and now you are!" he said, his fingers curling over his snake staff. Jasmine's mouth hung open. "What!" she gasped.

"Don't you remember what you promised me? You said…now let me see," he paused knowingly "You said you loved ME! That you would be mine!" he yelled out elatedly.

"I never loved you!" she sobbed "That was just a ploy to…to­­­­—" "Pah!" spat Jafar

"I knew it was a trick! I merely held you to your word, while you unknowingly continued your false affections for me!" roared Jafar.

Aladdin remembered the kiss he'd seen in the crystal ball. It was all a plan? She never loved him? To think I doubted her! He thought angrily.

Aladdin glowered at Jafar "Why you son of a—" "Enough street rat!" Jafar growled menacingly. All of a sudden Mozenrath emerged from the stairway. "Jafar!" he said icily. "What?" snapped Jafar.

Mozenrath's eyes narrowed towards Aladdin, "There is an intruder in the city"

Tali continued walking. Ever footstep was meticulous. In the distance, she could see a wide tower with a dome covered in jewels. There was a terrace surrounding it, painted in vibrant colours. Come on Tali, there is nothing different about this one tower…except, it wouldn't hurt to check it out, she thought curiously as she continued towards it.

"An Intruder?" boomed Jafar's voice. "Yes," replied Mozenrath, his ivory features twisting into a look of disgust. "Are you sure!" Jafar said incredulously.

"Yes, the spell should have only allowed the people in this room to enter, yet there is an intruder!" he snarled impatiently. "Nadira!" yelled Jafar. Nadira entered, her kohl rimmed eyes flashing.

"Yes, Jafar?" she crooned sensually. "Mind these two!" ordered Jafar, gesturing towards Aladdin and Jasmine. Nadira shot some wind in Aladdin and Jasmine's direction, forcing them back in the cell; she effortlessly used her wind to slam barred door shut.

"Mozenrath! Let's go! We MUST find this intruder!" commanded Jafar. Jafar strode up the stairway, with Mozenrath behind him.

"So Aladdin how does this feel, being locked away? You could have had it the other way you know…with me!" said Nadira. "What did Jafar do to her?" he asked angrily. Nadira laughed "You'll find out in due time! Of course, you wouldn't have had to if, you and I… "

"You whore!" yelled Aladdin. Nadira laughed again, even more devilishly. "I resent that," she replied in mock hurt "After all, wasn't it your precious Jasmine who kissed Jafar?"

"How-how did you know that?" asked Aladdin. Nadira snapped her fingers and immediately her face changed into that of a gaunt old woman. "You were the fortune teller!" he yelled incredulously. Nadira smiled "You bet, handsome" she said vixenishly.

Jasmine sat there in disbelief, unable to grasp the truths that were pouring out. "Jasmine?" said Nadira. "What?" asked Jasmine icily.

"You should know this," she said as she came closer to the bars "Your husband, is a really good kisser." She said with a taunting laugh.

"I know, I mean we kissed twice!" she said boldly. Jasmine's blood ran cold she turned to Aladdin "Is that true, you kissed twice?" she said shakily. Aladdin hung his head "Yes it's true, but she came on to me! I swear by Allah, it's true!" he said.

Jasmine burst into tears "I believe you," she said through sobs. Aladdin embraced her tightly. "I love you" he murmured. "I love you too," Jasmine whispered back.

Nadira laughed loudly. Jasmine let go of Aladdin, narrowing her dark eyes at Nadira. "What is so funny?" she said icily. "Oh Jasmine, I should expect this from you, I mean you are after all a princess" replied Nadira.

"And what's that supposed to mean?" questioned Aladdin fiercely. "Well, Aladdin, princesses don't have any experience with men," replied Nadira.

Turning to Jasmine she said "After all, you are Aladdin's virgin bride, what do you know abut the working of a man's mind and wants?" she said smugly.

Jasmine felt her insides churn "At least I'm not a slu—" "I know, isn't that how everyone views me, at least I not so naïve I don't know what men really want from women" said Nadira.

"Aladdin loves me, and I know that it was you who kissed him, not the other way" replied Jasmine coolly. Nadira raised an eyebrow and placed a hand on her hip "How do you know?" she asked. "Because I have faith in him" Jasmine said boldly.

Aladdin stood up in front of Nadira "You'll never get what you want from me, I love Jasmine" he said. Nadira smiled slyly.

"Oh handsome, don't worry, It's not you I want anymore, believe me."

Tali walked up the marble stairs that led to the terrace, which opened into a throne room, lavishly filled with treasure and luxuries. Gold vases big enough to fit a child in, were in every corner of the room, filled with exquisite blossoms.

Tali stood next to a giant gold vase, staring at the room in amazement. "Where is this intruder?" growled a voice in the distance. Tali felt it coming closer. What do I do! She though desperately.

Quickly she jumped into the huge vase filled with jasmines, hoping she wouldn't be discovered.

"Mozenrath," Jafar said gravely "Where is this intruder?" Mozenrath scanned the throne room. "I don't know, the spell does not say where, but there is definitely someone about" he answered.

"Search this room!" ordered Jafar, as he sauntered by the gold vase filled with jasmines…
