I stumbled through the red door clumsily and shut the door as quietly as I could. It was to dark to see anything, but I could tell it was much wider than the last hallway.

I took a blind step and immediately regretted it. My right foot seared in pain as if I had stepped on a hot coal, and I had to cover my mouth to stop myself from crying out.

The shackles burned even more, yet I tried to ignore it.

"Just so you know, it is NOT ok to take people who you've knocked unconscious to a weird unknown building! What am I saying?! It's not ok to knock people out at all!"

My fury helped me ignore my pain, and I tried to move my right foot again.

After what felt like an hour, I finally ran into what felt like a wooden door.

I searched blindly around with my hands for a minute before locating the door handle.

"Aha! There you are.." I murmured, thinking to myself I was going crazy.

I opened the creaking door as slowly as I could, and bright light made me close my eyes.

Cautiously, still partially blind, I stepped into the unknown room. My eyes slowly adjusted and I cracked them open.

I stood there like an idiot for a moment, gaping at what I saw. For a moment I thought I really had gone crazy, because what I was looking at was space.

A space as far as I could see, nothing, no furniture, no matter at all seemed to be here.

"Wha..." I quickly looked down and noticed I wasn't even standing on a floor.

There was no floor.

I yelped and jumped back, closing my eyes in what seemed like madness.

"What... Is going on?!" I yelled frustrated, as I was seemingly floating in a strange space room.

"Aladdin!" I screamed in anger.

I had expected him not to answer like normal, but my wrists burned with heat and shook, and next thing I knew blue foam was emanating from the golden bands.

Before he was even fully formed he started talking angrily.

I thought I heard him curse, which made me gap even more at my situation.

"Morgiana! Why did you leave the room! You were NOT supposed to see this!" The genie, for the first time directed at me, yelled in anger and frustration.

I stuttered for a moment, and then gathered my wits.

"Me? Y-you! Why in the world did you bring me here, and then ignore me? I wanted to stay longer in that kingdom, and I wasn't done taking to Prince Natsume yet..!"

I tried to stand up angrily, but my legs were not moving, they seemed to be glued to the ground.

"Aladdin! What....what is this?"

"Why are you... doing this?!" I asked again in frustration.

I couldn't feel my arms now, and even Aladdin looked like he was concentrating hard on something.

"Mor.. I.." He regained his composure, but he seemed to lose it a second later.

"We can't stay here. This room is dangerous to you, humans aren't supposed to see it, it makes them question their existence.."

"Can you move?" He asked quickly, seemingly panicked.

I hated to admit it, but I couldn't really trust him.

He reached out and I leaned back, avoiding his reach.

"Mor! We need to leave!" He said demandingly.

"And go where?" I cried loudly.

"Where? To see your brother!"

I was starting to lose feeling in my face now, and I was even starting to wonder if he was telling the truth about that.

Again, seemingly reading my mind he said, "of course I am!" And grabbed my arm.

He pulled at my arm and whispered what sounded like and incantation, and I felt the rest of my body go limp.

"It's ok Mor, leave everything to me.."

I wanted to believe him, and with that thought on my mind, desperately wanting to believe in someone for once, I fell back to sleep again, leaving the weird dimension behind.
