Another World

Chapter 15

Saleenhastened hurriedly through the ocean. She had almost reached hergoal. The sea grotto where Ursula and Morgana lived could see themfrom afar. It was boiling in her. How dare those silly robbers dareto contradict her? Well, wait, she thought to herself, you'll be thefirst to suffer when Ursula finds out about it. She was in front ofthe entrance. From there she could already hear the voices of thesisters. She nourished the room and swallowed. This is going to beuncomfortable now. She had only once angered Ursula, and that was nota nice experience.

Ursula and Morgana looked up at the sametime Saleen came into the room of her grotto. "What's up, what'sup?" Ursula snapped. Great, she got into one of the sisters'frequent quarrels, but she could not retire. Saleen bit her lower lipnervously and pushed out cautiously

"Thegirl ...... is ............."

"What'sgoing on, what is going on?" Ursula shouted at her

".... escaped ..... "" HOW PLEASE ??? and you do not doanything to capture them ?????? "

Saleenstepped to the ground. "... the Genie is free ...... and some ofthe robbers .... are on the side of Aladdin's father ......"

Ursula'seyes sparkled with anger. She snorted with rage and she spun the sandaround her with her tentacles. Frantically, Saleen and Morgana gaveway. "AMATURE, BEGINNERS, FULLY DISCLOSURES, if you want to dosomething right you have to do it alone." With these words shotever increasing in the direction of the robber's den. She left behindthe intimidated Saleen and Morgana.

The shackles were tiedaround my wrists as loosely as the last time I was taken back to thetent on Saluk's orders. Together with the robbers I returned to thecave. Hopefully everything worked out as discussed. The robbersbrought me in rudely. But that was all part of the plan. Saluk wassitting on his throne again, he did not notice us immediately, but heshould have noticed how the cave had opened. After all, this was notto be overlooked, maybe he was expecting someone?

Genghisurged me to go on. A knot formed in my stomach. Saluk's appearancewas frightening. Now Saluk noticed us and his eyes darkened. Now hegave an even more frightening picture. Despite the rising anger hewas looking at, he seemed to be pulling himself together, expecting afew explanations.

Hesitating and somewhat intimidated, Shunbegan to talk. "We found her on the beach, near where you sentus." "I'm escaped the siren, Saleen," I added withoutpretended pride. With that, I took the anger out of Saluk. He couldnot really rant that he would betray the plan, which we really shouldnot know about. "So that's it." I could swear he wasgritting his teeth as he uttered the sentence. "Anyway, bringher to the other prisoners and make sure she does not escape. Sheshould not go ever more. "" But should she ... ""IMMEDIATELY" Hakim wanted to ask him something else, butSaluk did not let it happen. At his bellowing, he shattered the tableand small flashes played him around ominously. Hastily we hurriedoff.

"He'seven scarier with those skills," I mumbled, the others noddingin agreement. In a few steps we reached a prison cell. This washidden behind a curtain, I wondered why the robbers had not locked methere from the beginning. Genghis guessed my thoughts, "OnlySaluk had the keys to imprison prisoners, traitors and slaves here.""Then he was here like the jailer?" "Yes you can callhim like this."

Shun pulled out the keys Saluk had given himand opened the lattice door. Hesitantly, I went in. Hopefully youcould really trust the robbers now. A queasy feeling spread in me. Iwanted to turn around and go out again, but the door slammed, theclick of a closing lock sounded and the curtain closed. Now I wascompletely dark. It had probably been a mistake to trust them.
