Evren had intended for her words to cut Warsaw, to show him that she knew what kind of beast he was, and that she would not tolerate any more nonsense from him. She had intended to show, with her posture and sharp tone, and unwavering gaze, that she was no mare to be walked all over. That she could be dangerous too. But even before she was finished speaking, she could see her words glancing harmlessly off him. He looked bored and irritated, as though she was a fly buzzing persistently in his ear. When he turned and cracked a joke with Shamwari about putting a baby in her, Evren’s cheeks went hot with shock and anger. Her eyes widening in alarm, she glanced nervously at Shamwari, then just as quickly looked away from him.
As Warsaw continued to speak, Evren felt the world tumbling down around her. Part of her had expected Warsaw to reply so flippantly, but every word was like a blow, each harder than the next. And when he revealed what he had done to Hannah, Evren’s breath caught in her throat, and for a moment she saw nothing but red. The embers of anger deep in her gut smoldered, and her limbs began to tremble with fury. She stared hard at Warsaw with bared teeth, unable to believe what she was hearing. First a kidnapper, now a rapist. She had been right not to trust him. He was a monster, the worst kind of monster. Tarek would be devastated.
In those moments, Evren wanted nothing more than to kill Warsaw. Her body shook with the desire to lunge toward and tear his smirk off his face and crush his skull into the ground, but she managed to hold herself back, knowing that if she did, she could potentially ruin any chance of getting Hannah and Blackout home. With her blood rushing in her ears, she barely heard what Shamwari said, but when he was finished speaking, she turned to him, her expression hard and cold, and stared at him for a moment as if to say, You see? You see what kind of monster he is?
Then she turned and wordlessly loped further inland to find Hannah and Blackout. Shamwari could do what he liked; she was taking them straight home.
