I paced the room once Aladdin had left, in fury.
I tried to think of explanations I could try for the two kings once I had managed to get out.
But.. wait, why did I need to wait to get out?
It concurred to me that maybe Aladdin would have to listen to me, being my genie.
I slowly walked to the door shadowing half of the room and cautiously turned the handle.
It creaked for a split second, then opened smoothly.
I silently snuck out and stealthily tip toed down a hall that led to another door.
Pressing my ear up against it, I listened for any sign of movement.
I sighed in relief and opened the door as silently as the last, and crept into the next hall, and I lost my breath.
"What.." I murmured as I slumped in.
This hallway was a bright yellow color, and very narrow. Decorating the walls were various paintings of exotic plants, and light candles all around.
I took one step in and froze.
I had heard a mans voice from one of the rooms ahead. I couldn't make out what he was saying, but somehow it seemed rushed and scared.
The voice lowered and I couldn't hear anything anymore. I slowly moved forward being cautious.
Suddenly, my mind became distracted and I started thinking about what the man was talking about, not prioritizing my escape.
My mind became blanker and blanker until I forgot what I had been doing in the hallway, and I tripped on the edge of the rug on the hallways floor.
"Gahhh!" I yelped as I smashed my head on the edge of a small table near the wall.
"This hallway is to narrow.." I whispered to myself, standing up.
All of a sudden I remembered what I was doing and panicked, I ran forward.
I ran and ran until I came across a set of four doors. Each had a different color, orange, blue, purple, and red.
I hesitated for a moment, then chose the red. It was the widest door, so I assumed the hallway beyond would be more comfortable.
As soon as I touched the doorknob, the shackles burned with a low grumble.
In the pain, I let go of the red door and knelt down.
Oh, so he didn't want me going in there huh? I asked myself struggling to stand up, still in the pain.
Well, it must be something important..
The shackles growled again.
"Your not being very fair either!!" I shouted, my voice echoing off the yellow walls.
I threw the red door open and dashed in, ignoring the annoying pinching of the shackles in sadness and anger.
Had I been betrayed? The question grew bigger in my mind...
