Authors note: I actually have no idea if anyone will read this part, I think I usually skip over it. Here is the deal, I would like to remind everyone once again, just incase you missed it from the summary, this story pairs Aladdin and Mozenrath, two guys, so don't flame me, just don't read it.
Thank you to the people who commented on the last chapter you inspired me to post this chapter. I actually finished the story, I just lost confidence in it.
I guess I should also warn peeps, that this is the chapter where things start to get really weird. I guess you will figure it out really quickly. But this is definitely a story that took on a mind of its own. For sure not my normal cup of tea.
Also I don't own any of the characters... or places, at least not so far. It is possible I will later add on a new place... Not a fan of OCs unless I think they really are well developed. So yeah now owning of stuff, and no money being made. Poor student, please now suing.
A few Days had passed since Aladdin had retrieved the stone of Neffer Fell. Jasmine was walking in the garden, serenaded by small birds perched in the large flowering trees. Strolling by the large marble fountain she stopped to look at her own reflection. She was wearing her usual light blue outfit. Brushing a dark hair out of her face she heard a very welcome voice calling her. "Princess Jasmine! Princess where are you?"
"Over here Aladdin!"
A smile spread over her face as she saw her husband rounding the corner of a group of tall shrub. "Ah, Princess."
Jasmine hesitated, Aladdin's typical smile when he saw her was missing, a strange smirk covered thoughts familiar features. His normally warm caring brown eyes seemed colder somehow. Before she could think to hard on this Aladdin had her in his arms. His lips were on hers it was a strange kiss. Not bad, just different. When Jasmine opened her eyes from the kiss it was not to the palace garden she had been in before.
This was definitely a dungeon. The walls were rough and looked like they were carved from the solid rock. Chains hung from the walls some of them still holding the skeletal remains of there expired occupants. "Wha-"
She was cut off by laughter. It was a laugh she knew well. Mozenrath's sadistic glee was very plane on Aladdin's handsome face now.
"Dear princess, you are so gullible." A wave of his right hand and there were shackles connecting Jasmine to the wall. Blue sparks flashed around the dopleganger for her husband and standing before Jasmine was Jasmine. "How do I look? Good enough to fool Aladdin?" The voice was Jasmine's but the tone was all Mozenrath. He laughed again. Jasmine shuttered at the horrible sound coming from her double.
"I don't know what your game is, Mozenrath, but Aladdin will never let you get away with it!"
"Call me an optimist, Princess. But I doubt Aladdin will notice the difference." Smirking and walking a few steps closer. "After all you can't expect to much intelligence from a street rat."
Pulling against the shackles Jasmine was brought up short by the strength of the chains. "If you hurt him, Mozenrath, if you hurt him I will make you pay."
"I'm sure you will Princess." Mozenrath said looking over his shoulder has he walked out of the room still disguised as Jasmine. Just outside the door Xerxes floated waiting for his master.
"Princess captured?"
"Yes Xerxes. Make sure she is well taken care of while I'm gone. I would hate to be thought of as a bad host."
Xerxes shared a evil chuckle with his master. "Xerxes watch princess."
"Good, I'm off then to steal my stone from the street rat." A smirk crossed the princesses face, bringing the princesses delicate hand up in a fist Mozenrath could hardly contain his laughter. "He'll never see it coming."
Meanwhile back at the palace the real Aladdin was looking for Jasmine. Wandering threw the long marble hallways with their high elegant ceilings one might think the dark haired hero looked out of place in his common clothes. "Jasmine? Jasmine where'd you go?"
Finding the Magic Carpet and Genie sitting in front of a bright box which seemed to be flashing a image of several cars speeding down a road. "Have ether of you seen Jasmine?"
Genie looked frustrated as he twisted to his side holding a strangely shaped object with buttons and sticks on the top of it in his hands. "Sorry Al, I haven't seen her since breakfast.. WHAT? LAST PLACE, AGAIN? I thought at least with video games I might be able to win, how can he even see the TV?" Looking very dejected Genie turned away from the 'TV'. "One day I will find the game I can beat a rug at."
Chuckling Aladdin turns to Carpet. "How about you Carpet?" The carpet moved it's right tassel to the center of its upper horizontal side and mimed stroking the face as if in thought. Then clicking its tassel hand, it pointed down the hall to the treasure room.
"Thanks carpet."
Hurrying along the sounds of Genie bemoaning his loss faded. Rounding the corner Aladdin saw the object of his affection, Jasmine. She was so delicate and slender, Aladdin didn't think he had ever met a being so graceful. Her hair hung to once side hanging over her opposing shoulder. Strangely she seemed to be trying to push open the door to her father's treasury. "Jasmine?"
At the sound of his voice, Mozenrath, disguised as Jasmine stood up strait, turning quickly and preparing to unleash his magic should it be needed.. "Jasmine I have been looking all over for you." Aladdin put his arm around what he took to be his wife's slender waste intending to pull her in for a kiss but she pushed him away.
"Whats wrong? Did I do something?" Aladdin looked genuinely confused and worried.
Realizing quickly that if he didn't think of a reason for his behavior Aladdin would become suspicious Mozenrath acted. 'Jasmine' took Aladdin's hand. "Of course not... Aladdin. Its just that I have things I have to do."
"Well maybe I can help you. What are you trying to do?"
Mozenrath paused thinking about it. And coming up with a quick lie 'Jasmine' said, "I think I may have lost the gem for one of my headbands, I thought maybe someone put it in Father's vault by mistake."
"Oh! I can help you look for it." Taking her again in his arms, "Then when we find it maybe we can spend some time together." Aladdin took one of her small delicate hands and brought it up to his mouth kissing the back softly. He had his eyes closed and so missed the look of annoyance that marred the lovely face of the person he assumed to be his wife.
Authors note: So yeah I guess most of the story will be like... with the disguise thing going on... so yeah. I always wondered why Mozenrath did't use is ability to transform more often. Of course there are a lot of things I wonder why he doesn't use more often. Its like how I wonder why they always seem to let him go even though maybe it would be a good idea.. you know... not to let him go. I mean yes they take the gauntlet... but maybe add on to that by you know... arresting Mozenrath or something.
