Arabian Nights S1 Episode Seven Part I

I’ve known Asher for less than two weeks and he’s the one I trust. How crazy is that? Sure I like him and he’s a great guy, but I’ve lived with Kaleb all my life and, yes he’s annoying as heck but I never thought he would LIE about something like this!

“I might have heard a… rumor… about it…” Kaleb said sheepishly. “But do you think I would have believed her for one second! How was I supposed to know?”

“You told Jeremy and not me!” I can’t believe his nerve! He was the only person in the whole world that I knew I could trust and he turns on me?

“Kaleb you are the biggest jerk in the world!” Asher accused.

“Shut up!” Kaleb argued. “You have no idea how many con people we’ve run into, I suddenly meet this crazy lady in a cave of all places and you expect me to believe her!?”

“I expect you to be honest to your sister, do you seriously think that I would believe you’d be telling your friends lies and make sure they don’t tell Bree?” Asher fought back.

“No, I expect you to stay out of our business!” Kaleb shot back. “GET OUT!”

“NO!” I yelled at him. “You lied! You seriously lied to me! And about this! He has been real, and he’s been trying so hard to make you accept him! You are the one that should get out! HOW DARE YOU LIE ABOUT THIS!”

Kaleb stared at me, and we both glared at each other. He shook his head. “I thought you were better than this Bree.”

“GET OUT!” I pointed towards the door, my arm shaking, and I felt tears start to form in my eyes. Kaleb’s eyes moved from me to Asher, and he glared even harder at him. “Yeah.” He said darkly. “Let’s get out of here Jeremy.”

Jeremy frowned at us and followed Kaleb out, off to do whatever it is that cheaters do. Once they were gone Asher’s face softened. “Bree I am so sorry.”

“Don’t be.” I sighed, brushing back a tear. “You were the only one who was being real. Thanks.”

“No.” Asher shook his head. “I came here because of you. I was waiting for you because I knew whoever it was coming out of that cave was the one. You’re special Bree, you know that?” I turned to him, hoping I didn’t look too confused. “Those powers are a gift.” Asher continued. “And I was thinking that it was you, and I wasn’t sure until it happened… I don’t think you want a liar like me around.”

“Asher wait!” I said before he could leave. “You are the one I trust… you didn’t lie, you just weren’t sure and didn’t want to tell me misinformation. This is… a bad situation. I need help.”

Asher nodded. “Bree.. we need to keep you away from him.. I think I might know a place. We’re righting all the wrongs, and changing the world. This is a terrible place, you don’t deserve what happened to you, not just Kaleb, but your entire life, I can help you make them pay.”

*Maybe he is right… I don't’ deserve what they keep doing to me. Every person I’ve come across in my life hates me. Kaleb. Brittany. Even Jeremy who seems to like everyone hates me! And to add to that they’re always betraying me. WHY?*

“Bree?” He asked, and I realized neither of us had spoken until now.

“I’m in.” I narrowed my eyes in the direction Kaleb and Jeremy had left in.

“Whoa… hold your horses.” Asher decided. “Give it time… it’s not the right time..”
