Chapter 7: A Dangerous Plan

Aisha and Ali continued to plan their escape from Ibrahim's mansion, but it was proving to be much more difficult than they had anticipated. Every time they thought they had a foolproof plan, something would go wrong and they would be forced to start over.

However, their attempts to sneak out at night were repeatedly thwarted by the guards, who seemed to be keeping a closer eye on them than ever before. Aisha and Ali were forced to abandon their plan for the time being and focus on finding another way to escape.

As they continued to work and live within the mansion, Aisha and Ali began to learn more about the layout of the compound and the habits of the guards.

One night, as they were discussing their latest failed attempt, Ali brought up the idea of trying to recruit other slaves to join them. He had heard rumors of a secret slave network operating in the region, and he believed that they might be able to help.

Aisha was hesitant at first, but Ali convinced her that it was worth a try. They spent the next few days discreetly talking to other slaves, trying to gauge their interest in joining a rebellion against their masters.

To their surprise, they found that many of the slaves were eager to join them. They had all suffered under the cruel and oppressive rule of their masters, and they longed for a chance at freedom.

With the help of the secret slave network, Aisha and Ali were finally able to put together a solid plan. They would all meet in the stables at midnight on the night of the next full moon, and then make a break for the nearby hills.

The day of the escape arrived, and Aisha and Ali could barely contain their excitement. They had recruited over a dozen slaves to join them, and they felt confident that they could make a successful escape.

As they made their way to the stables that night, Aisha's heart was pounding with anticipation. She could hear the sound of her fellow slaves' footsteps as they crept through the dark corridors, and she knew that this was their last chance at freedom.

They turned to see a group of guards approaching, their swords drawn.

Panic set in as Aisha and Ali realized that they had been caught in the act of planning their escape. They tried to run, but the guards were too quick and too well-trained.

The guards quickly overpowered Aisha and Ali, and they were brought before Ibrahim for punishment.
