Broken Souls

Sparks in Captivity

The Izna Daily

Here is the news everyone. Our couple has gone MIA on their honeymoon and the way both the families keeping it so hush is making me think that something must have gone wrong. My inside sources told me that the newlyweds ditched their securities on the way to their honeymoon which was not part of the plan at all. It seems they had a plan of their own to spend time with each other completely isolated from the world, which I can totally understand by the way. Nobody wants to spend their honeymoon with a bunch of guards hovering around them. But still the questions remains, where did they actually go?

"Hilal, wake up, Hilal."

Leon's urgent voice brought back Hilal to consciousness. Her whole body felt sore. 

"Leon, What happened?"

"We got kidnapped by some rebel group named Black Daggers. But are you alright?"

"Apart from the fact that my hands and legs are tied, I think I am okay otherwise."

They were both locked in a small room of a wooden cottage it seems. Their hands were tied behind their backs, even their legs were tied up. 

"Do you have any idea where we are?" Hilal asked Leon

"I tried to peek through the window earlier. It seems like we are somewhere in the forest. This is the base camp of this group I think," Leon told Hilal.

"I heard about this group from my father. They were trying to cause trouble for quite sometimes," Hilal said thoughtfully.

"Yes, I knew about them too. We suspected that there were some spies among our men but never would've thought Adonis to be one."

At that time the door of the cottage opened and a bearded man entered followed by Adonis and several other men. 

"Hello, my lovelies. It's great that you both have woken up," the man said in mocking tone. 

"Who are you?" Leon asked him.

"I am Dağistanli, leader of the Black Daggers and soon to be the leader of this country."

"Huh, You dream too much," Hilal said.

"Oh no my dear, I don't dream. I plan. And you two are part of that plan."

"And what do you plan to do with us?"

"Our demands have already been made to both your families. Soon the control of this country will be in our hands. Until then you two are our guests. Enjoy your stay."

***********************************************************************

A whole day and night passed after their kidnapping. Hilal's neck ached so much due to sleeping on the hard floor she felt like it would fell off from her head any moment. Their hand and leg ties were only released when they were given food to eat or have to go to the bathroom. 

"We need to do something. We can't just wait here like chickens who are about to be slaughtered," Hilal said with frustration.

"I know Hilal. But at our current position, there is nothing much to do. I'm trying to come up with something but so far I got nothing," Leon replied to her with equal frustration in his voice. 

"I have noticed something when they were taking me to the bathroom."

"What did you notice?"

"This whole camp is not that big. They have only 30 people all together here. They keep a head count of members on a blackboard."
