Chapter 129
Istanbul, Turkey
.
Fatima knew this was likely a trap. But these people had her mother. Fatima's mother told her to stay away, and they cut out her tongue. She fought well against her attackers, but they greatly outnumbered her. Fatima didn't know who these people were or why they had kidnapped her mother. But Fatima would not let them kill her mother, not if she could protect her family. She was strong, but not indestructible. One of the hooded men put an ax into her head. Fatima fell to the ground mortally wounded. The last thing she saw before she died was one of her attackers going to kill her mother.
