"Where have she gone to?" asked karl confused

"She's dead?" asked one guy

"If she's dead , where has her body gone?" asked another guy

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaah" Iris screamed as she fell on sand

Her eyes were closed when she fell on the sand.

"I'm I in heaven?" she asked still with her eyes closed. She touched the sand and carried some of it on her hand , then left it to fall back on the ground.

"No!! Heaven couldn't be haven warm sand. Oh my goodness!! Please don't tell me that I'm in hell!" she said panicking

"Oh Lord ! I know I wasn't the perfect human being but does I deserved hell?!" She started praying.

Hearing no reply , she opened one of her eyes to see if someone was there. She saw no one and then she opened the other eye.

She stood up from the ground and observed her surroundings, which looked very different from what she was use to see in the modern world.

"Strange?, If I'm neither in heaven nor hell, where I'm I?" She said as she continued to looked at the surroundings

The climate seems to be different, the wind breeze blowing was warm. The houses were made of some kind of mud , looking as those ancient houses in dry areas like the desert.

She looked at the moon which was at its peak. Iris deduced that it was already late , almost 12pm.

"It's late, I have to go back to my house" she said and started walking.

The more she walked, the more the place was not familiar.

Where has the highlight went to? the noisy sound of towns, cars, the impressive buildings and all the rest.

Iris was getting worried and afraid. Her thoughts were confused with so much questions.

As she was lost, not knowing what is happening and where she is, she heard a voice , a sharp feminine voice.

" Hold it! Hold it! "

Iris turned to where the voice came to and saw a box rolling to her direction, she hold it and avoid the box to be lost. She looked at it nearly, it was a jewelry box. Perfectly sculpted and with beautiful ornament and small drawings.

" Heh you!! " she turned back to another voice

The man opposite to her looked strangely dressed, He was dressed like a guards having a cutlass in his hand.

[euh...People still dressed themselves like that?]

"Give me that box!" he said with a stern looked , he approaches her but the girl make a little stepped back .

" I can't, it's doesn't belong to me. It is for...." She couldn't finished her phrase because the man cut her

"Of course it's not yours! You stole it in the palace"

"Hein ???" She exclaimed

"She's here!! I found her!" shouted the man

And in no time, a mass of men were infront of her , almost dressed exactly like the man.

"No! I haven't stole it. It's a mistake. I heard a voice who asked to hold it and.."

"Shut up thief!! You're with them!"

[Thief? Who them?]

"Capture her!!!" Ordered the man

"Hein!!! Wait! No" Iris exclaimed

The men approached her and at the moment they wanted to hold her. A hand grabbed the hand of Iris and dragged her , forcing her to run!

The action was so fast that the guards didn't realize that the girl wasn't there.

"They're escaping ! "

And they started running after them.

"Heh!! Who are you?" asked Iris still running

"Your savior!!" said the personne with long black crow hairs. The person was wearing a transparent red shawl around her head , so we couldn't see her face but to her voice we could know that it's a girl

[ A girl? ]

The young women started to receive arrows with fire

"What the hell!!!!" shouted Iris

The girl that grabbed the hand of Iris turned to see the men throwing them arrows.

"Welcome to Bagdaad " She said with a smile and looked back infront of her

"They want to kill us!!"

"Yeah" she said with a normal tune

"It's doesn't seem to disturb you! " said Iris

The girl laughed "I'm already use to it"

She directed her eyes on the sky.

"They're supposed to be here" she said

"Who?"

"Them!" she said looking at the sky and Iris followed her stare .

It was a huge and large flying carpet.

"It's a flying carpet?" She asked surprised

"No a bird" she said sarcastically "Of course it's a flying carpet" she added

A rope ladder was thrown for them to climb and they climbed on it, leaving the guards down watching how they escaped.

They reached on top of the flying carpet

Iris saw three other people with different color of shawl hiding their faces leaving only their eyes to be seen and a bunches of bags on the flying carpet.

"Who's she?" asked one having the green shawl

"She's the person who help me not to lost the box" said the girl and she turned to Iris who was surprising, confused and silent " Where's the box?" she added

Iris stretches her hand and gave the box to the girl .

"You know that the boss will not like it" said the man with the green shawl

"I couldn't leave her in the hands of those guards" said the girl in red shawl

"She's pretty!" said another with the yellow shawl having an enthusiastic voice " but she's strangely dressed!" he added

[You people are the one strangely dressed]

"Is she deaf and dumb ?" asked the yellow shawl

"Stop that! She will talk if only you allow her to speak " said the girl in red shawl

"Please, I'm not in 2028" Iris asked

Their eyes widely opened when she said the year.

"No, you're in 1370 in an persian continent precisely in Bagdaad" said the girl in red shawl

"What??!!!"

"Are you sure you're okay? maybe one of the arrow has touched your head" said the girl with the red carpet

"I..I was chase by...." she was confused, words wasn't getting out

She turned left and right

"wait, wait , you guys are saying that we are in the year 1370???"

They nodded except the person with the green shawl .

Iris collapsed.
