[HAWI]
"You didn't answer me, Razia. Was this how my mother screamed for help? Tell me and I will stop, at least for now," Hawi taunted as her clothes were now covered in Razia Greyson's blood.
Oh, but this was the most beautiful sight that Hawi had ever seen.
"Sh... She didn't scream... She never had the chance to," Razia said and Hawi roughly pulled out her claws from Razia's insides, ignoring the blood she was losing like it didn't matter at all.
Hawi didn't care what happened to Razia, and the more she knew about what had happened that day, the more Hawi was sure mercy was for the weak. They hadn't shown her innocent mother any mercy and she wouldn't show them either.
Staring at a faint Razia, Hawi was disgusted, to say the least. She hated the fact that this woman was a traitor in so many ways that it was impossible to even understand whether there was any genuine interaction whenever Razia was involved.
This woman was poisonous and she was the kind that Hawi wanted to rid herself of.
There wasn't a thing in the world that would stop her but until then, she had to see for herself if the woman who had been so good at playing the good mother was this cruel. Surely there had to be another explanation for the mess, right?
"Why... why did you do it?" Hawi asked as she punched Razia in the face with her bloodied claws. She wasn't worried that she would hurt herself in the process. Pain was something Hawi had always gotten used to.
Whatever she was feeling here was no match to the pain she had held back for the past four years. A lot of time had passed and yet the emptiness had remained just the same. She wished for so many things, but today she wanted vengeance.
She couldn't understand Razia. How the fuck could someone be that fucked up just because of a notion that she couldn't trust? Was that really all there was to this? Then again, if Eniola had been down and Hawi wasn't ruined, what was the main aim?
Her screams were filled with pain, but Hawi was just standing there licking her hands that were covered in Razia's blood like she was some cannibal. She was insane for his rally and even Malika got up and took a step back.
She wasn't sure there was any more space left for her before she would hit the wall, but goodness, Malika hadn't ever seen someone this bonkers. Each day, she realized that there was a new level of crazy to be unlocked in Hawi and it was frightening worse than hell.
This wasn't how the girl was supposed to be, but the pain... oh pain. Pain could turn even the most beautiful of hearts into a shell of who they once were. That was what was happening here right now.
And the fact that Rukiya Greyson wasn't close enough to remind Hawi of what it meant to be humane was crazy. This was why the white wolf needed a mate, but then Razia had to just try and mess everything up.
"Mistress—" Malika began but Hawi didn't even pay any attention to her, it was almost like the only thing Awuor Hawi wanted was to see Razia Greyson suffer. She loved seeing the woman so curled up like that, while her insides were burning with acid.
Well to be fair, Hawi was brimming with rage too, so that was equal, right? But would it make it all any better when the hearts were being shattered like that? And what of Hawi's heart? Was there anything left in there besides rage and revenge?
"Don't tell me you feel terrible for her. She said Mother was silent. Do you even know what that means? There's a chance my sweet mother got to see the face of her best friend, as they ripped her apart.
"It had to be the worst of her heart breaks, seeing her daughter unconscious while she was there, drying slowly. That hurts more than anything this woman could have ever done.
"She should have come after me, but then she was too much of a coward to do it, and now, I don't have no one. Everything I loved and had dear is gone. I won't see her smile again, I won't see my beautiful mother happy again.
"And it's this damned woman's fault!!!" Hawi growled out in anger as she clawed Razia's neck just like her mother had been. Only that her clawing didn't kill Razia.
"Make sure she doesn't die, and make sure she feels all that pain," Hawi said as she walked out of the dungeon and headed back up to her suite.
