Arabian Nights Season One Episode Three

The blinding sunlight hit us seconds after leaving the “Cave” as Izzy had called it, more like a death trap in my opinion. “You know…” Bree started. “Maybe you were seeing things… But I was hearing things.”

“Like what?”

Bree’s eyes were huge, and she dramatically grabbed me by the shoulders. “Somebody was following me!”

“Yeah right,” She always gets dramatic when she lies, it’s just that some people don’t notice.

“No,” Bree shook her head. “I’m not kidding! I was sure someone was following me! I thought it was you!”

“I wasn’t following you, there was this-” I remembered what Iggy had said… it’s fake…. But I decided to keep it to myself anyway. “Bree it didn’t look fake… Maybe there was somebody else- ow!”

Something was thrown onto my back, something heavy. I felt someone grab my shoulders, hard. “Get off of him!” Bree yelled, before hurtling herself behind me. There was grunting, a loud smack, and then I felt the person’s hands wrench at my neck, trying to hang on. “Bwe-” I tried yelling at her to stop, but it came out in coughs. “Oh, sorry!” Bree cringed before going back behind my back and carefully prying the fingers away.

“Get off of me!” A female voice said snottily.

“Excuse me?” Bree sounded annoyed. “That’s my brother!”

I turned to see a girl with wavy light brown hair blowing in the breeze, her eyes narrowed and her angry gaze fixed on Bree. “Well your brother is under arrest!”

“You’re forgetting something.” Bree folded her arms.

“What?” She asked.

“You’re outnumbered.” Bree glared at her.

“You’re going against the law!” She pulled her phone out and tried calling someone. “Dang it!” She held up her phone at different angles. “Where’s the reception?” Bree rolled her eyes and slapped the phone out of her hands into the sand. “Hey!” The girl accused. “Fine. Whatever. We’ve got to find shelter until Daddy can come and properly arrest you.” She bent down and scooped up the phone, whipping all the sand off of it and dumping it, sand and all into her pocket. “Daddy?” Bree scoffed.

“Who are you?” I questioned.

She straightened. “Brittany Knight. My dad is Officer Brandon Knight.”

“Bratt.” Bree muttered, making Brittany glare at her harder.

“Get over it,” I pulled Bree away from Brittany.

“So what’s the plan?” Brittany asked after a few minutes of silence.

“We should-”

“Hold on,” Bree interrupted. “We’re involving her, and bringing HER along?”

“We’re in the middle of the desert, do you have a better idea?” I asked.

“Leaving her behind. She can figure it out herself.” Bree decided.

“If we are responsible for her- you know - then we’d definitely go to jail Bree!”

“Oh get over it!” Brittany rolled her eyes. “I’m coming with you. So where are we exactly? Like how far did the cave drop us in here? Maybe we should go back in?”

“No!” I said a little too quickly. Both girls stared at me.

Brittany responded first. “Umm.. are you ok?”

Bree snickered. “He’s jumpy.”

“We’d get lost,” I don’t want a chance of that Iggy lady killing Bree.

“Aren’t we lost?” Brittany asked.

“Well yeah.. I guess.” I agreed.

“So?” Bree asked.

“We aren’t going back in there.” I decided. “Bree that’s final.”

“I could help you.”

We all turned to see a guy wearing a denim jacket similar to Bree’s, without the wear and tear, leaning against the cave and enjoying the shade.

“Who are you?” Brittany asked, instantly suspicious.

There’s a reason to agree with- what am I saying? Nevermind… “We don’t need help from a stranger.”

“Why not?” Bree asked. “If we are taking her along might as well take one more! Plus we need to find the way back to the city limits to drop her off.”

“You are gorgeous.” He smiled down at Bree, making me tense. Usually if a guy tries that Bree is quick to make him sorry, but she didn’t… Instead she smiled back, and I couldn’t catch her eye. “But you aren’t in California anymore.”

“What are you talking about?” I glared at him.

Bree snickered. “Oh so now you think I’m crazy for not wanting to take her with us?”

“I’ve seen her before, we know she checks out.” I protested. “He’s a random stranger!”

He grabbed my hand and shook it. “Asher. Asher Igotu.” I stared at him. There’s something about the way he said it… Igotu… “There. Now I’m not a stranger. Let me show you the way to civilization.”

Summary
