[Battle of Artah. . 1105 - Syria.]
The sounds of battle filled the air, As a struggle for Life and death ensued on both opposing sides. The air was thick, And it smelt of iron. The Turks were pushing us back. . But we were going to shove them further back, Once our reinforcements come. .
-TS! TS! TS!-
"ADALBERT!"
I ripped the sword out of the Turks bloody chest, as I rushed for My friend.
Slashing my way through the turks, I desperateley tried to make it to my squire, My companion. . My friend.
-Shlk! Shlk!-
I smashed my foot into the shins of a Bloodied turk, before plunging my blade into the poor mans chest, As I continued forward.
"ADALBERT!"
I was almost there. . To him. But there was a bloody Kilij wielding Turk in front of me.
"Out of my way You Heathen."
I snarled at him, Raising my blades tip to his chest.
And without warning, I initated a sword duel with the Seljuk. We clashed, And clashed hard we did.
I swung my sword over my head, But the Turk was quick. This Turk swung his Kilij at my own blade, Effectively Parrying it. Then I felt it. I felt the cold, Metal, Plating of his knee, Smashing into my gut. I stumbled back, Pained, But this was no time to complain about injuries.
With bloody rage, I Feinted another Overhand swing, Before plunging my sword straight into his own gut, Before ripping it out. I was almost there.
Practically limping, I made my way over to Adalbert, Before I felt the ground under me dissapear. And before I knew it, I was falling. . Falling and Falling. .
-Thud-
"GAH--!"
I groaned in pain, Trying to make sense of the matter, as I hold my stomach tightly. . I closed my eyes, Holding back the urge to yell, As I layed on the Ground.
After a long while, I finally found the courage to get up. I groaned in pain, Looking around my new surroundings. .
"By the holy father. ."
The grass. . It was so. . Vibrant. The sky was no longer ashy. . The sand was not stained. . Where. . Where was I. . ?
PREVIOUSLY NAMED 'Maybe it was never meant to be...'
"Why did you do this to me? WHY ME? AN ALREADY BROKEN girl? Why did you show me a fake world and destroy it along with me? Why Ismail? Why?" I broke out in tears. I had been silent for far too long. I needed to speak up for myself. For how long would I live like this, a puppet, a slave, a useless nobody, someone who'll never have any importance in his eyes despite being in his Nikah.
He took a threatening step towards me, to which I flinched in response. He smirked knowing he will always have control over me. "Cause my jaan, it's much more fun to show a living corpse a new world and then lead them to hell then it is to do so to someone normal, I guess." He stated shrugging his shoulders.
I took the vase from the table and smashed near his feet. "Why? Why did you marry me to ruin me? Why can't you see that you've ruined me enough. Just kill me. KILL ME NOW!" I shrieked
His eyes darkened as I said those words, I regretted saying them as soon as I saw his reaction. He calmly bent down. Anticipating his next move as a slap or a punch, I wait with my eyes shut tight but nothing comes. I opened one eye followed by the other and see he is picking up the pieces of glass from the vase I threw, calmly and placing them on his palm and his long fingers. He realised I was staring and smiled, an evil one.
"I won't kill you cause I need you for MY needs, but I can give you a taste of death, if you're that eager." He lunged towards me and wrapped the same hand that he had placed broken pieces of glass on, around my neck. I could feel blood oozing out of my neck but his grip kept tightening, not caring about my pain or tears. He kept going. I don't know what was hurting more my lungs from the lack of oxygen or my neck from the glass pieces that were piercing into it.
After what felt like a century, he released my neck. I dropped back gasping for air. But he wasn't done with me yet...
