Will's camp experiences a moment of victory against the Hornets, and hope is again restored in their hearts, although some fear it will not last. The Hornet's group is afraid of the 'little female monster' who has reduced their numbers greatly. Donny goes to kill Mariquez in her sickbed and has to make a last-minute peace offering when he meets Selda instead. It is an impossible offer, and she asks to think about it. Both camps plan to ambush each other, and another disaster meets their little tête-à-tête moment of compromise. Evelyn's POVThis is because of Selda, excitement has returned to our camp after a long time. She arrives at our new post and informs us of an offer made by Donny and her plan to accept it and still take her pound of flesh. I am optimistic about the outcome of the intended betrayal, but I fear that we might lose more men than intended since Selda would only be going with one of the three groups of men on duty. I am not alone in that fear, but the hope that all will turn out fine unites us. Will's POV For the first time in a long while, we smell victory against the Hornets folk. Even Evelyn and Lisa are smiling. I am grateful for Selda's gift to our camp. When she arrives with an offer from Donny and a plan to double-cross him, I am all too eager to execute the plan beside her. However, watching her hit the ground in a lifeless manner, shocks the hell out of me
