Escaping

7 years later…

"I wonder what it's like out there" Arya wondered standing in the courtyard looking at the wall. Little Arya was no longer a baby; she was now 7 years old. She had long black hair that went down to her waist, she would usually put it in a ponytail and she now wore a pink top that had no sleeves and came to just a little above her belly button. She also wore a short pink skirt that ended at the top of her knees. What was over the skirt was two pieces of pink see through silk that were cut on the sides all the way up to where the skirt stopped so that it looked like she had a long skirt on. On her feet she wore pink slippers. She had never been allowed outside the palace for her mother had told her on multiple occasions that it was dangerous outside the walls.

Then:

On one such occasion her mother was going outside to go shopping. Her mother wore a brown cloak to cover her turquoise outfit so that she would be disguised, Arya wanted to come with her.

"Oh mother can't I come with you, I'm always stuck here, I never get to go outside," Arya had said with a pleading look on her face.

"No you may not, it's too dangerous outside these walls, you don't know what it's like out there" Jasmine said to her daughter's now sad face.

"But I don't understand, I would know what it's like if you just let me out of my cage" the child protested. Jasmine bent down and took her daughter's face in her hands,

"I know this is hard for you but I want to keep you safe, you're my only child and I love you, so stay here with your grandfather and Raja" Jasmine finally said to her daughter. Arya just looked to the side with an angry look on her face. Jasmine tried to get a hold of Arya's face again but Arya shook her hand away.

Jasmine sighed, "You'll understand when you're older." And with that Jasmine went out the door and left Arya standing there angry with her mother.

Now:

Arya came back from her daydreaming as Raja bounded down the stairs and came up to her and licked her on the cheek.

"Hee hee, hey Raja" Arya told the cat with a grin "How are you?" Raja just smiled and wagged his tail indicating he was doing well. "Come on boy help me up the tree" Arya said gesturing toward the tree that was closest to the wall.

"I want to see the city." Arya had done this a number of times mostly when her mom wasn't looking. So she and Raja went to the tree and Raja gave Arya a boost with his nose and she climbed up the branches and onto the top of the wall. She then sat down and held her knees between her arms. Arya loved being up here she loved trying to walk the wall with her hands out, she loved the wind in her hair. But Most of all she loved to see the city from this height, she felt like a bird flying over the city and looking at it. From this point she could see all the buildings, all the people going about their day. She felt so free, so free from the walls that surrounded her on the ground.

"Arya!" Jasmine yelled. Arya turned around and looked down to see her mother glaring at her from the ground.

"You get down right now young lady" her mother scolded arms folded across her chest.

"Yes mother" Arya said with disappointment. Arya climbed down through the trees and landed on the ground. She looked at her mother with a flat expression "Okay I'm on the ground" she said flatly. Jasmine just glared at her daughter, then she sighed.

"Arya what were you doing up there?" "It's very dangerous, you could fall and hurt yourself," Jasmine scolded

"But mom, I was just sitting up there, it's not like I was walking on top of it this time" Arya spouted trying to defend herself.

Jasmine looked like she was going to have a cow. "You've done this before!?" Arya looked at her mother.

"he he" She laughed slowly a bashful smile on her face because she knew she was in trouble now.

"Arya" Jasmine began "Princesses should be lady-like and"

"And proper, and I need to be careful or else I'll get hurt" Arya finished her mother's sentence sarcastically. Jasmine pinched the bridge of her nose and thought for a moment.

"Arya go to your room" Jasmine finally said

"But Mom!" Arya started to protest.

"Just go!" Jasmine cut her off pointing a finger toward the palace. Arya reluctantly started walking toward the palace with Raja following behind her.

"I'll come get you when it's time for your lessons" Jasmine said. All of a sudden Arya turned around with a look of disgust on her face.

"Oh no mom not my lessons, they're so boring and not fun" Arya said a look of disgust and boredom on her face. Arya hated her lessons, mostly because she hated acting like a princess; she hated acting like a little lady. She wanted to run around and play but one thing she really wanted to do was learn to fight. She had watched the guards training from her balcony and had wanted to join in too but her mother didn't want her fighting with swords. Even though her mother protested Arya still practiced with a stick, swinging it around like it was a sword.

"I don't care you need to do them now go" jasmine said. And with that Arya marched off to her room. Arya then ran into the sultan her grandfather.

"Hello my dear" the Sultan said smiling at his granddaughter, "what seems to be the matter?"

"Mother is being so unreasonable, I can't do this and I can't do that." Arya said stamping her feet, "It's not fair".

"I know it may not be fair but your mother is just looking out for your best interests," the sultan said hugging his granddaughter.

"I know but it's so annoying" Arya said annoyance on her face.

"You'll understand someday, now go upstairs and get ready for your lesson," the sultan said with a smile. Arya sighed.

"Come on Raja let's go". Arya went upstairs and went to her room, the big cat following behind her. Arya went into her room, jumped on the bed and screamed into her pillow. Then she flipped over and looked at Raja who was starring at her at the edge of her bed.

"Well at least you're on my side" Arya said petting the cat under the chin. "Well I guess I better get ready for the lessons" Arya said with disgust as she said the word lessons. So Raja helped her by bringing her brush, which Arya used on her hair and looked at herself in the mirror. She saw a girl who needed freedom who was sad to be trapped in her own home. After she got ready she went back down the stairs, riding Raja of course and they bounded into the throne room where her mother and grandfather were waiting for her. So her lessons began, they went over how she should curtsey and how to be polite. She recited how a princess should act and what a princess was supposed to do. After her lessons she did something she did every time, she went up to her mother and asked her a question.

"Mother will you please tell me about Dad today?" She asked pleadingly. Jasmine looked at her daughter for a while then with a sad face she said

"Not today Arya."

"Why not!?" Arya asked now outraged because she didn't know why she wasn't allowed to know about her father. "Every time I ask it's always not right now, or not today!" "What's your deal mom? I'm ready to hear it, I think I'm old enough to know why my dad isn't here." Arya said shouting at her mother. Jasmine didn't want to tell her daughter that her dad was not there because an evil sorcerer was out to get her and her dad was out protecting her.

"Arya we're not going to talk about this right now". Jasmine stated folding her arms across her chest and looking away from her angry daughter.

"Why not? I'm not a baby anymore. Why are you treating me like this?" Arya asked her mother outraged and pleadingly.

"We're not talking about this" Jasmine stated curtly. With that Arya knew the conversation was over. She just stared at her mother angry that she couldn't hear about her dad, angry that there were secrets from her.

"Aaaaah!!" Arya screamed annoyed and frustrated. "I hate this, you always treat me like a baby, and I feel like you're keeping secrets from me all the time, it's not fair."

"Arya enough!" Jasmine finally said. Arya just glared at her mother then she turned around and ran up the stairs as fast as she could wanting to get away from her mother. She ran to her bed and buried her head in her pillow and started to cry, hot, angry tears fell down her face.

"Father am I doing the right thing?" Jasmine asked tiredly sitting on the floor pulling her knees up to her face.

"You're just trying to be protective, she'll understand someday," the sultan said comfortingly hugging his daughter.

"I hope so" Jasmine replied. Later that night while everyone was sleeping Arya was planning to run away.

"I need to go out to find my dad and be free, he has to be out there somewhere" Arya said with determination looking out at the courtyard from her balcony. Raja was watching her closely worry on his face. Arya snuck down the stairs and grabbed her wood staff from the wall. She then went down the stairs to the courtyard and ran through the darkness to the tree she loved to climb. Arya felt exhilarated as she ran sneaking through the darkness. Raja worried had followed Arya knowing he needed to watch her. Raja grabbed onto Arya's outfit and Arya stopped to look at her best friend.

"Oh Raja, I just have to go, I need to go find my dad. He's out there somewhere and I'm going to find him," Arya told the big cat. Raja just gave her a sad look. Arya then had Raja help her up the tree, then she climbed the branches and onto the top of the wall. Before she jumped down to the other side she looked back at the home she loved where the people she loved lived with a sad face.

"Bye mom, I know you don't want me to do this but I have to find my dad" Arya said as she looked at the palace. Then she looked down to the sad Raja and waved goodbye. With that Arya jumped down to the other side and into the city of Agrabah.
