Another World

Chapter 26

Cassandra woke up with sweat.She had a dream, or rather a vision. She did not know exactly. Shewent through the pictures in her head again. Something wanted tocontrol her with an iron grip, but she managed to escape, butHercules and Aladdin were caught and then there was something else.But she could not tell exactly. Cassandra got up and decided to go toHercules to talk about her dream. But he just sent her back to herbed, grumbling. Sometimes it was really too desperate to be believedin such a thing. She decided to keep her eyes open for suspiciousactivity or people.

"What do you have to do with theRoyal Guard?" The conversation did not begin in a friendly way.The robbers had dragged me into a side street that turned out to be adead end. There I sat down on one of the boxes which stood againstthe wall and got so into the cross examination. "I have nothingto do with the palace guard!" Immediately I remembered the lastencounter with Razoul, which was now three days ago. "Oh yes?Why were some of us caught then? And now sitting in the dungeon ofthe palace? "Reproachful and full of anger sounded Shun's voiceand just that tone of him made me flinch. Not only the devastatingconversation in the tavern, now also the reproach I would work withRazoul.

Razoul is after me, but I did not tell him! ""How can we be sure? "Genghis pulled one of his daggers andslammed it next to my face into the wall. "ENOUGH!" Came afamiliar voice. Genghis pulled back his knife and Cassim came up tome. "It's true what she says. I've just interrogated the guard." Confused, I looked up at Cassim. "You did not seem awarethat you were being persecuted by Razoul's guards." It was morea statement than a reproach. "No, but I already had the feelingof being persecuted ...." I mumbled and looked at the floor. Itseemed that Razoul was trying to uncover the connection between me,the thieves and Aladdin. The whole situation relaxed and I describedthe incident between myself and Razoul. "What about the guardwho persecuted me?" I asked after completing my story. "Wehave put them in another hiding place for the time being, perhaps anexchange with Razoul can be arranged." Mindful, Cassim strokedhis beard.

"You should go back home, it's already late.And I heard that it will not be long before your trip to Greece. "NowCassim sounded like a father, which made me smile. I got up andstarted to leave as Cassim said, "It's better if someoneaccompanies you. Shun, you go with her. "At first it looked likehe wanted to argue, but then he went with me.

So thisunexpected meeting dissolved. For a while, we tacitly walked side byside. I did not quite know what to tell him if I should say anythingat all. The moment here in Agrabah in the middle of the night withhim seemed so unreal. Despite the recent not so good meeting, he didnot seem to be in a hurry. He seemed absorbed in his thoughts.

Finally we reached my home without a wordchange. I'm so stupid. But then he said, "How can we trust you?That you do not betray us, should you stay here forever? "Anotherquestion that hit me. Of course I could understand their doubts andyet it was especially painful to hear it from him. "You cantrust me. I would never betray you. "It sounded sounded so lameas I thought. Saying that is no proof, no obvious act. "Pah, assoon as you stay here you will sooner or later deliver us to theknife. Be it because you lack gold or because you want to be good atRazoul because he puts pressure on you! " "That's nottrue!" I tried to counter again, but again it made a weakattempt. "Oh yes? Then give me a reason why I should be wrong!"Now he made me really angry. "Call a reason? I can not dothat right now, but I'll show you a reason! "This time I grabbedhis arm and dragged him into the house. I threw the door shut behindme and kissed a baffled and completely surprised Shun.

Atfirst I thought that he could resist the kiss, but then he returnedit and he went further, putting his arms around me. It felt likehours, but it was only a few seconds, with the kiss. I was now awareof what I had just done and the heat shot into my face, no, itflooded my whole body. Embarrassed, I stuttered "Is this enough?... maybe as a reason? That I like you too much and therefore couldnever betray you?" " More than enough. "He stroked thehair from my face, which seemed to me quite familiar and kissed meagain, while he whispered again" More than enough . "
