Desert Encounter
Chapter 36

Emir where are you? was his last thought before a vase crashed on the head of the one who wanted to take his life.

Sanaa found herself surprised by the shock before falling with all her weight on Naomi, thus dropping her knife which resonated on the tiled floor with a dull noise

– phew I arrived in time.

Exclaimed the person who had just saved his life.

Standing tall and proud of herself, Soraya displayed a triumphant smile.

– THANKS. Said Naomi softly, breathing short because of the mass that had fallen on her like shit.

She observed for a few seconds the young woman, barely older than her, she was beautiful with long black hair, a true Western beauty. Western, she thought.

– you didn’t miss this crazy woman, when I knew it was her all this time, I regretted not having given her a good beating the day we had a fight.

Naomi looked at her without saying anything, in fact she didn’t understand anything she was saying, she released the one that was preventing her from breathing properly with a sigh of contentment.

Soraya held out her hand which she quickly shook to get up.

– We need to move out of here, I came to look for you

– how did you know where to find me? Do we know eachother ? Did Emir send you?

– everyone only talks about the new acquisition that Aziz allegedly stole from the sheikh. It was pretty easy to know where he was keeping you. You no, you don’t know me but I do. I introduce myself to Soraya

Naomi looking at her in shock.

So it was her that everyone had wrongly accused. In any case, Emir wasn’t in lace as they said at home. So why her? when he could have that. she thought.

– eh oh, are you listening to me? We have to hurry and leave

– sorry, I was thinking of something

– yes it’s me that Emir was keeping in the basement, and yes he knows I’m here. He asked me to watch over you. She continued, heading towards the door

– all this time, he knew this day would come?

– Emir is a dangerous man, that’s all I know. Come on before his crazy cousin shows up. She said, looking from left to right, checking that no one was coming.

– where are you taking me?

– we have to get out of here. I know how to do.

They ran out of the room, occasionally avoiding the guards who were making the rounds.

Aziz burst into his room wide open and found Sanaa lying on the floor, and he understood that Naomi had escaped.

He sounded the alarm and quickly went looking for her.

But what was Sanaa doing in her room at such an hour, he had touched her and she was still alive.

She owed him an explanation and prayed that he found his stranger otherwise she was going to be one more name in his list of corpses.

Naomi and Soraya had followed the alert and had to be more suspicious from now on. They were afraid but the exit door was close, a few meters away from them.

– it’s okay, we’ve arrived. Soraya whispered. I’m going to open this door and the three of you run without looking back.

– And you?

– I’ll be right behind you.

– ok

– one, two, three…

– you won’t go anywhere, the person who moves I’ll shoot.
