Left Behind

Escaping...

Time came to almost evening. Bisol's soldier was busy in writing. Other side, Ertugrul and Halime tried to look all hopeless, but didn't stopped their own efforts. Halime was all disturbed l, jiggled...
She was trying all ways to get out of ropes. Ertugrul felt irritated by her useless attempts.

"Ugh... What are you actually trying to do girl? Can't you just stay still". In a low voice, still loudly, Ertugrul said.

"No, I can't. You can still quietly, but I want to be free, so please you stay quiet." Halime stuttered.

"Oh really, what about enjoying?"
He taunted.

Halime angrily saw him, Ertugrul too saw her with equal anger. They both were staring each other as if ready to kill the same moment. All this while, they never noticed Bisol's abrupt but continuous look on Halime.

"I am also trying to get out, so please stop your irking bids."

"Ohh wow, I never knew you possesses magic." She rebuked.

"How would you know, we only met today right." Ertugrul showed a forceful smile to which Halime resisted her deep urge to roll eyes, still turned her gaze.

Her sight rested on Bisol, who was standing beside a tree staring her. Halime felt strange, she looked somewhere else. She thought to not give it a think, as she is having more matters of concern.

Bisol smirked. He walked some steps near them. He suddenly sent his soldiers apart. They walked to an enough distance.

"Strange." Both mumbled at same time. Bisol came over to them.
Neither of them had any idea of his unknown actions. He bent downwards on his single knee.

"How are you both feeling? Is it fun to be here?" His wide eyes gleamed while saying it.

"No? Well, it's going to be fun for me, I swear."
And he tried to caress Halime's face. But she immediately jerked it.

"Get your filthy hands off me Bisol." Halime literally shouted at him. He appeared to be so disgusting. Bisol chuckled slightly.
He then departed their rope, still keeping them tied separately. Bisol was trying to took Halime, he made her stand.

"What are you doing?" She wriggled hardly.

"It will be as per my wish sweetheart, and not as yours." He said smilingly. Halime kept wiggle.

"Leave me." Halime tried hard to get out of his grip, but she failed. She was making it hard for him, but still bisol had the control. He clutched her hands tightly not to let her slip from his hands.

Bisol just moved forward, but out of the blue he received a rigid thump. His grasp loosened and he stumbled upon with a thud. Halime stiffened. Bisol fell down.

It was Ertugrul. She got terrified for moment. Ertugrul had 'no one can hold me' beam on his face.
Alev discern the uncertainty.

"Soldiers." He immediately yelled out. But before anyone could do anything, Ertugrul dragged Bisol on his hands with a sword on his throat.

"Stop there everyone. Or your governor will pay for it." Soldiers stood still.

Taking the chance, Halime grabbed her dagger from ground and exactly threw it on a soldier. He fell on the spot.

Bisol tried to back stabb Ertugrul, but he was fast than him, Ertugrul gripped his hand and gave him a smack on his back with the leg. Three soldiers ran away seeing it, but others came to attack them.

Halime took a lying sword and immediately slashed a soldiers throat. Ertugrul tossed half dead Bisol on the ground and got merged with others.

No one noticed the hidden face Alev who was slowly slipping from there. He refuged in a tree. He had a bow. On taking a busy look, he prepared his bow. His arrow pointed Ertugrul. Ertugrul's position changed, Alev too came out a little bit.

In a second, he released the bow.
Without even realizing, Ertugrul received a heavy stab in his back. He fell on the ground. Ertugrul didn't understood what happened in a fly of time. Halime fell beside him.

The arrow hit the lone soldier left there who was standing behind Ertugrul fighting him. Within a blink, he fell down. Ertugrul saw it was Halime who pushed him. The arrow was highly poisoned. Soldier had an awful poisonous death.

Halime was right, she thought. She knew it had poison. Ertugrul and Halime look at each other. While saving Ertugrul, she gained a shallow cut in her arm and palm. She shrieked a bit. But there wasn't anyone to be seen till far. He ran away. Bisol was also dead. Ertugrul got up and helped Halime to stood up as she struggled to stand.

**********

Alev ran as fast as he can. His last spawn failed. Bisol died, their soldiers died, Ertugrul and Halime escaped and he left helpless.

"Damn you Bisol, Damn you!" He cusred loudly.

He noticed some slashes on his hand and on back got from tree branches while running.
He needs to do something new now, it's going to be more tough now, he thought.

"I'd better go to Master Simon."
Alev decided. Simon is his last hope and last target for Ertugrul and Halime, and he has to help him anyhow now after Bisol's death, he thought.

Alev left all defeated.
