HE'S MY DELILAH

Chapter 29-A Twist

Woow,another update,thank you guys for reading,voting, commenting, i see and read them all...i heart you all......

Ayan's POV (Unedited))
The man kept coming towards us, his footsteps sounded like thunder, by now we were petrified with fear,because if we were caught, we would be beheaded,spies are not tolerated anywhere.
And I would never see my Falcon again. I turned to look at Yasin and he was pale and looking faint, the soldier wasn't doing any better. I couldn't look him in the eye, I kept looking down seeing those feet approach us,finally he stopped in front of us,instead of slashing our heads,he laughed a horrible laugh which I think he thought was nice, he started clapping,
He walked around us looking over us,eyeing us from head to toe,
"Wonderful dancing! I've never enjoyed exotic dances this much,how come I've never seen you two before? He says
We all breath a sigh of relief and tell him we are travelling dancers.
Then he says,
" Am inviting you to my private party,its inside the castle" he says
"Yessssssss, our plan is working I think"
When he leaves,we are taken inside and offered food and drinks. Everyone is an a celebratory mood. Drinks, music, free food keep flowing.
There is entertainment everywhere!

Its time for us to perform at the private party. When we step inside the venue,we are left speechless, there is exquisite beauty everywhere! Gold patterned walls,low hanging sparkly chandeliers, expensive imported rugs and Carpets,beautiful Persian utensils and velvet cushions where the guests are seated. Looking at them,you can tell they are very important people of Tigran. There are generals, nobles, princes, princesses, charlatans and slaves. But I notice two empty seats.
Everyone turns to look at us,paying attention.
"Woow us with your dance" the general says
We start dancing, doing some traditional dances,then we continue dancing,following the beat of the drum. People are clapping and cheering us loudly.
Then we take a simple break as we prepare for the second round.
After the break,we return to dance,I feel eyes on me,scorching my back. I turn and the general's eyes are fixed on me,staring at me lustfully while licking his lips.
I turn back mortified.
After the dance,everyone claps and I notice two figures at the doorway slowly approaching us.
I look again shocked and scared! Its....Shafiq and his uncle!
Yasin and the soldier have noticed him too so we try to hurry off the stage,but no luck,
"Why the hurry? Stop right there!" Shafiq says
We stop and turn but partially hide our faces.
"Nice dance,where did you learn such exotic dances?" He asks clearly suspicious
"We are traveller dancers,we learn everywhere we go" I reply disguising my voice
"Hmmm,I see,but that dance you just did, its particular to Jalen,they learn it in childhood, how would you two know?" He says
We are at a loss for words,he is right. The dance is taught to Jalen children. Before we can come up with a reply, the general thankfully interrupts,
"Enough Shafiq, let them rest" he says
Shafiq and his uncle go to their seats but I hear him saying,
"General, something about those three doesn't add up,I can almost swear I know them, those faces" he says
"Relax Shafiq and enjoy the party" the general replies
Shafiq turns and glares at us.
"I will but we need to be cautious especially now,don't underestimate Jalen,they didn't become powerful because of luck"
The general nods his head and laughs.
We breath a sigh of relief and we sneak off into a corner.
"Now,you two split up and search for Yasin and Malik,I'll check this side but don't take too long,lets meet here in ten minutes,they are bound to get suspicious" I say
We split up,I try looking into rooms and dark corners but I see nothing. After about fifteen minutes of intense searching,I return without finding anything. Even those of Yasin find nothing.
   "Let's go back for a little, then resume our search" The soldier says
We hurry back inside and pretend we had always been there. Out of the corner of my eye,I see Shafiq shaking his head in disapproval.
This time around, we get up to go and in the hallway,
"This time, we have to find them,stop at nothing, its our only chance,Shafiq gets more suspicious by the minute" I say
"Yes,its now or never,if any of you get caught, signal the army,it may be our only hope of getting out alive" The soldier says
"I hope we find them" Yasin says

They head off while I take the second route I didn't take before, I find myself steadily sloping downwards in a tunnel that gets deeper by the second and darker! Towards the end,I notice a cell and suspended from the ceiling is a figure I would know from anywhere!.........tears form in my eyes, after that night, I finally get to see him,my heart breaks over into tiny pieces, I turn to run to him,but a voice stops me,
"Stop there! Get him! What are you doing down here?" Shafiq shouts and grabs me.
I see the general and some soldiers coming due to the commotion.
"I have to think fast!"
Falcon please forgive me,I think.
I hurry to the general and drape myself over him,batting my lashes at him and smiling seductively,
"Don't listen to him, general, I only came down here to do you a personal favor, wouldn't you like to rub your victory in the face of your enemy, show him the luxuries and pleasures you have?" I whisper
The general has completely fallen for my charm and he is focussed on me.
"Yes,that wouldn't be a bad idea" he replies thoughtfully
"Well,bring him to your private room and let's rub it in his face, make him feel the loss" I say
But Shafiq interrupts with his uncle,
"You fool! General, please don't release the prisoner, you are not thinking straight! Lust is clouding your mind,Malik is a great warrior, he can take on half our army,he is that invincible and formidable, don't listen to this cheap whore!" He says
I pretend to gasp in outrage, the general gets angry and dismisses his personal guards and everyone else.
He holds my waist and leads me to his bedroom. I feel disgusted but I have no choice.
Suddenly, the door bursts open and there he is! Looking tired, worn out and a shadow of his former self. My heart beats faster at the sight of him,he is bound in ropes and chains. They tie him to the pillar in the room.
The general immediately begins mocking him. He tells me to dance for him. I dance and slowly make my way to Malik,when I reach him, I put my hand out and slap him across the face, he whips his head towards me,his eyes flicker with recognition, but he hides it.
"You loser and traitor!" I say and slap him again while slowly tucking a dagger into his hand.
The general  gets up and laughs but suddenly pulls me to him and pins me on the bed,he starts kissing me and I try to fight him but he says,
"Calm down, I want to enjoy you before I execute the prisoner"
I immediately calm down in order to buy time,but the general has other ideas,he starts undressing me while kissing down my throat, touching me and stroking me while forcing me to touch him too. He gets between my legs and takes of his pants. I look away and turn to Malik,only to see his eyes widen in betrayal, disbelief, anger and dejection. I try to convey through my eyes that I don't want this,my tears flowing but he turns away from me when the general turns me on my back and starts preparing me.......................
