Once Upon a Time: Ever After High (Book 8)

Ch.29 Savior's decision

(Flashback) Now back at her palace, Jasmine made her way into the throne room.

"Father" she called as she spotted her father the Sultan sitting on some steps near his throne with a small model of a village next to him.

"Jasmine my dear" he smiled when he saw her "Have you seen my new model of the village?"

"We don't have time to play with toys father" she said "I have to get you somewhere safe, a great battle is coming."

"But Agrabah is at peace" he smiled.

"Agrabah is dying" she said with a worried look "I know you can't see it right now, but a great evil has tore our kingdom apart, and I know a Savior who can save us."

"Save you from what?" Jafar suddenly appeared behind her "From me? That sounds like treason."

"You" Jasmine gasped as she then turned to the Sultan "Don't listen to him father, Jafar is controlling you."

"Yes" Jafar smirked "I am."

And with that he used his power to push her back into the wall.

"So I can do what I want" he added.

"You stay away from me" she ordered "The Savior will be here soon."

"You mean Aladdin? The thief with a heart of gold, or the heart that desires gold?"

"You don't know him" she frowned.

"Oh but I do, the Savior took the gold and ran. Now all that's left between me and the throne, is you."

And with that he used his staff to put Jasmine into a giant hourglass as she felt the sand being poured down on her. Jafar watched with a sneaky smile as Jasmine sat there with fear as she felt the sand ran down her. But just when she thought she was doomed, the doors suddenly burst open as Aladdin flew in on a magic carpet.

"I wouldn't be so sure of that!" he declared as he flew the carpet down and landed in front of Jafar.

"You should of used the shears" Jafar growled.

"I could of" Aladdin said with a slight frown "But I'm still the Savior, and I don't care what price I pay for it."

And with that he used his new powers to release Jasmine from the hourglass as he then used his powers to break Jafar's staff in haft, which released the Sultan from his trance.

"Spoken like a thief" Jafar frowned "Never get to pay the price for anything. But you will, and one day you'll realize that today was no victory."

And at that point he disappeared as Aladdin ran to Jasmine.

"Jasmine you alright?" he asked as he knelled in front of her.

"I'm fine" she said in relief "I just didn't think..."

"What's wrong? Was the magic carpet too much?"

"No, I just thought you had abandoned us."

"Yeah uh, I kind of almost did."

"What changed your mind?"

At that point he gave a small smile.

"You" he replied "I couldn't let the women I love down."

Jasmine then gave a smile as he helped her up as they went into a hug.

"What's going on?" the Sultan suddenly asked.

"Well uh-" Jasmine started to say, but before she could, a swirl of smoke appeared near them as a man appeared.

"I'm back!" he exclaimed with a smile.

"Genie!" everyone exclaimed as they went up to him.

"You're back!" Aladdin smiled as they shook hands.

"I told you I was coming back" the Genie smiled "Boy did I miss this place."

"And uh, didn't you say that you wanted us to meet someone?" Jasmine put in.

"I did" he smiled as he turned around "Come on."

And with that Gigi and Whisp appeared.

"Everyone" Genie said "I'd like you meet my daughters, Gigi and Whisp."

"Your daughters?" they gasped.

"How do you do?" Gigi and Whisp smiled.

"Are they twins?" Jasmine asked.

"Indeed we are" Gigi smiled.

"And we're both genies" Whisp added with a smile.

"Wow" Aladdin said surprised.

"I figured that it would be nice for them to visit Agrabah every once in a while, especially since Gigi is attending school in another realm and Whisp is bound to the Genie rules."

"Well it's nice to meet you two" Jasmine smiled.

"You too Princess" they smiled.

"Well I think we're going to have a lot of fun together" Aladdin smiled.

That night inside the Science lab, Jackson was trying to solve some equations when Holt entered.

"Find anything yet?" he asked.

"No" Jackson sighed with disappointment "I don't get it, this is hard Science, I know how to do this, but it keeps giving me the wrong answers."

"Well maybe his time Science wont solve this problem."

"What do you mean?"

"I just talked to Cupid, and she told me that there was this magic box that can trap any evil souls in, it actually used to hold someone who's just as evil as my dad, but apparently he's out now, but that's not the point. The point is, if we can find this box, we may be able to use it to trap my dad."

"Well how are we gonna find it?"

"Cupid told me to ask Elena since she was the last one who had it, but if she doesn't have it, then we should look in that antique shop."

"Well, alright then, we'll look tomorrow, it's getting late right now, I need to go."

"Yeah me too. And uh, one more thing, I know how much Miranda meant to you, and even though I've never met her, I'm really sorry about what happened."

"Thanks" Jackson said with a small sigh.

"And uh, now that we're separated, why don't we make a deal that we don't let girls come between us, like Frankie for example."

"Well, I did learn that she had Miranda's heart, which is probably why I fell for her in the first place."

"Oh yeah I heard about that, looks like I did meet Miranda after all, but in a different body, well, more like several bodies if you know what I mean."

"I do. And uh, I have to agree with you, let's never let girls come between us."

"Alright then" Holt smiled "It's settled."

So after that, they both left the school as they went their separate ways. But as Jackson was walking down the dark lit up streets, he began to have a feeling that he was being watched, but when he turned around he saw nothing. But just when he thought he was being paranoid, he turned back around and nearly shrieked when he saw Mr. Hyde in front of him.

"Hello Jackson" he said with a sneaky smile "I've been looking for you."
