The following morning, Aylah woke up to a horrible stench and the beating of drums. "What is that?" Melike asked, wrinkling her nose at the smell. Smoke seemed to surround the area and the only thing that could be heard was a single drum.

"This is starting to creep me out," Kayi said as he walked around," Starting? Because everything else about this is normal?" Melike sassed, making Kayi roll his eyes, "Shut it, Melike."

They heard footsteps walking towards them, making them stand defensively. But, to their slight relief, it was only the same soldier who came the night before. He looked around frantically, before setting down 4 small daggers and pushing them into the cage.

"Take these and hide them. Whatever you do, don't drink anything they give you, and don't breathe in the smoke."

"What's going to happen?" Aylah asked in a small voice and the man sighed, "I don't know, Aylah, but I'll get you guys out of here. I promise." Orhan reached down, grabbing one of the daggers and stashing it into his boot, "At least tell us who you are."

The man smiled slightly, "I'll tell you soon, just remember what I said, don't drink anything they give, don't inhale the smoke." Before the kids could say anything, they heard footsteps, and the man grimaced, "One of you, hit me, quick." 

Aylah shrugged before slamming her fist right in his face. The man cursed, "Crap, you didn't have to hit me that hard, Aylah." Orhan snickered, but it died down quickly as the "Stalker Man," as they had dubbed him, walked over. 

"What do you want now?" Melike sneered as soon as he came close enough to hear her. The man smirked, "Oh, Bey Kiz, you'll see."

Boran, Goktug, and the other alps had been tied up in the prisoner's tent as the tribespeople were forced into their tents. Soon later, Gunduz Bey was shoved in as well, his hands tied tightly in front of him. He brought his hand up to touch his neck, wincing slightly, "Why am I the one who always gets strangled?" He murmured, rolling his eyes as the Mongol behind him, hit him to quiet him down. 

"Hey Abi," Boran said weakly in greeting as the soldiers left the tent, and Gunduz turned to look at him, "Really? "Hey Abi"? Is that all you got after what just happened?"

Boran sighed, "Well, what do you want me to say? This really sucks because my child is in some unknown place with a bunch of people who just so happen to have a reputation of murdering  people in cold blood?" 

"They're not going to kill them," Goktug said quietly, making the two look at him, "Worse probably." They stayed silent for a moment, not wanting to bask in the thought, then Gunduz whispered sharply. "Listen, Osman has a plan, we're getting out here and we're getting the twins, Aylah, and Kayi back."

The alps nodded quickly, putting their fearless expressions back on as Argun walked into the tent. "Back already? I didn't know you liked us that much," Boran called out, his energy revived at the thought of getting out and saving his daughter.

Goktug smirked before repeating the same phrase he did earlier in Mongolian. Argun turned to him angrily, moving forward and grabbing the front of Goktug's armor. "Say that one more time," He dared, fuming in rage, and Goktug looked him dead in the eye, repeating the phrase with an obnoxious smirk. 

Goktug's comment led to a series of painful punches directed at him. When Argun finally left, Goktug breathed heavily, trying to pull himself back together. "What the hell did you even say?" Boran questioned, raising an eyebrow as Goktug laughed breathlessly.

"Just something to make him angry," Said Goktug, vaguely, making Boran frown and turn to Cerkutay. "Cerkutay, What'd he say? And don't pretend you don't know." Cerkutay merely shrugs after glancing at Goktug.

Boran's curiosity was peaking, but Goktug and Cerkutay let didn't say a word. When night fell, the door of the prisoner's tent, and in walked two tall young men wearing Mongolian uniforms. Before any of them could say a word, the taller of the two held up his hand.

The other one peeks out the door, before quietly shutting it. The taller one pulled off his face covering revealing his wavy brown hair, falling forward in locks. He seemed to be about 17 years old with strikingly bright hazel eyes.

The other boy seemed to be around the same age, though a little shorter. He had straight jet black hair, though it was longer, parted to the side. His dark eyes were luminous, clear with his youth. 

"Yigit? Ahmet? How'd you two get here?"

Gunduz asked, raising an eyebrow, the two boys shrugged, "We did a little of this, a little of that, long story, Gunduz Bey." Boran smiled, "What the hell are you guys wearing?" Ahmet laughed as Yigit grinned, "Well, Abi, as you can tell I am the definition of fashion."

Goktug chuckled, "And what did you do to the guards outside?" Yigit rubbed the back of his neck sheepishly, "Um... Zehra might have taken care of that one." 

"You let Zehra get into this?" Boran questioned, raising an eyebrow in a brotherly fashion and Yigit shakes his head. "I didn't, she kind of just did, and I went along with it!"

"Besides that, we talked to Osman Bey, we're getting out of here tomorrow morning," Ahmet said firmly, making the alps smile. "Check on Gonca and Savci, will you, Yigit?" Boran said quietly, as two boys were about to leave. Yigit nodded, "I will, Abi." 

Yigit and Ahmet split up, and Yigit went to Boran's tent. He looked around carefully and knocked quietly before entering. Yigit took off the face covering, and Gonca relaxed as soon as she saw it was only him. Savci was sitting on the ground, playing with a little wooden horse.

"Abi! What you wearing?" The little boy asked, scrunching his nose, perplexed and Yigit chuckled sitting down. "You and your father, both must insult my fashion choices," Yigit says, dramatically sighing, making Gonca smile, "You're wearing a Mongolian uniform, what did you expect, Yigit?"

"How is Boran, Yigit?" Gonca asked, lowering her voice, so Savci wouldn't hear. "He's okay, beat up, but okay," Yigit responded, before lowering his voice even further. "We're going to get out of here tomorrow morning. After that, I'm not sure what will happen, but it'll be dangerous. Keep Savci inside."

Gonca nods, stress, and worry evident in her face. "We'll save Aylah, I promise."
