Chapter5

This time I heared nothing. No grumbling and thundering fromthe opening of the rocks, no this time the cheering and a troubledvoices rang in the robber's cave. What was going on? There were onlyseven robbers in the cave, why did it sound as if they were forty?Monika pale at the thought. Without it she wanted her hands startedto tremble. Saluk! It could now be possible that he is now here.

Thetent was torn open, and Shun and Genghis stood before me. "Getup, Saluk our leader is here." Shun told me. Afraidly I stood upand followed them wordlessly out of the tent. "How ..." myvoice died instantly when I saw the rest of the robbers in the cave.How had they escaped from prison?

Therewas a lot of shouting and wild exclamations among the robbers. Salukdid not seem to care about the chaos around him, he was sitting on achair that looked almost like a throne, waving a cup of wine. "Youhave betrayed us and sold us to the palace guard," cried arobber from the crowd, the others shouting to him in agreement. Somechallenged Saluk to kill immediately. They threatened their swords.But Saluk just smiled and stood up. Shun and Genghis stood next to meholding my wrists. They themselves were very tense because theyalmost crushed my joints. They had probably also heared from Saluk'slie that he and not Cassim had betrayed the forty thieves. I couldsaw their mixed feelings very well. "You hurt me," Iwhispered to the them. They glanced at me briefly, then loosenedtheir grip. Banned, we watched to Saluk again.

Saluknow paced up and down, and finally raised his voice. "You'reright, I betrayed you and sold you, but have I freed you from prisonor not?" The shriek was quieter and a furious murmur broke out."I have freed you and will share with you one of the greatesttreasures. That I can not get without your help. "Now therobbers were all ears. "We have a promising client who can giveus all the gold in the world if we only want to." Furthermore,we will be able to rule over Agrabah. "The crowd grumbled.

Icould not believe it, were they so easy with gold and power? Howcould he be trusted or even believed after betraying them? Even Shunand Genghis were included in the cheering. I just shook my head.

"Who is this client?" Cried a voice. "Until now he does not want to reveal himself, but he will do it when everything is prepared."
"And how can we trust you?" Someone shouted. After all, a skeptical voice I breathed on, so it seemed as if one could not all bait. Suddenly, a robber fell on Saluk, who cleverly cleared his throat and raised his hand with his claws, but instead of striking, he went for a distance, this irritated the robber very much, for Saluk is known for his merciless close combat. A lightning flashed through the room and hit the robber, he was thrown through the hall and he banged against the wall. He remained lying, but alive. The shock was written in the face of the robber. All looked at Saluk, the crackling of the electronic statics could still be heard. A devilish grin played around his face. "Quite easy," Saluk continued unhurtly, murmuring, and the despicable insults at Saluk were now dumb, fear grew in the cave of robbers, and no one dared to contradict him. Saluk pointed with his hand at me, my breath stopped, what came now? "We have someone here who has the ability to make this cave safe again, as it used to be."
The robbers cheered and looked at me expectantly.
I beg your pardon? I thought I was interrogated, but no, he had really said that I had the ability to change the magic words. My mouth was open, I did not know what to say. He could only be wrong. Still in the other hand, holding the cup, he came towards me. As if he wanted to pronounce a Tost, he raised the beaker and announced further, "And not only that, it will serve us as payment for our clients."

IfI had not been pale before, then my skin color had now been takenfrom chlorine-bleached paper. My legs gave way and I collapsed infright. Shun and Genghis pulled me up again. After this shock angerbroke inside me. "That was the reason why I am here to be sold?"I shouted at him. Saluk laughed and came towards me. "Exactly,you were the first one who had moved away from this strange place anddiscovered the enchanted exhibition. It could have been anyone, butit hit you. "He broke into an awful laugh again. That was prettymuch the worst consequence of the school tail. But the worst ofall.

"Let's say it could have hit anyone who first walkedout of the station and entered this strange exhibition?" Iwhispered, "Just like that." Saluk was standing right infront of me, a robber still raised his voice, "How come You werestill alive, there were rumors that you are dead. "Saluk turnedin the direction from which the voice came, thoughtfully pulling athis mustache. "This is not the right time to tell it all."The undertone in his voice left no other questions, with a handgesture, he gestured to bring Shun and Genghis back to the tent."Restrain her," he called after us.

I was pushed tothe tent, I landed on my stomach, then I noticed how my hands weretied on the back.
