And then, out of the tunnel of green fire, she erupted into a world of ice and snow and darkness, and all
doubts vanished. The men still held her captive, and one of them shouted, тАЬGet ropes and a wagonтАФshe
hurt Paith and Kevrad and Tajaro. WeтАЩre going to have to tie her.тАЭ She was in troubleтАФnothing good
would come of this.

тАЬItтАЩs only two leagues to Copper House.тАЭ

тАЬSheтАЩll kill one of us in that distance. Tie her.тАЭ

тАЬBut the Imallin said sheтАЩs not to be hurt.тАЭ

Other hands were grabbing her nowтАФcatching at her feet, locking on to her elbows and wrists, knees
and calves.

тАЬDonтАЩt hurt her,тАЭ said the one closest to her head. тАЬJust tie her so she canтАЩt hurt us, damnall. And
whereтАЩs that useless Gateman the Imallin found to make the gate? We still have people back there! Send
someone to get them out before he closes it!тАЭ

Molly fought as hard as she could, but the menтАФthin and tall, but strongтАФforced her forward, adding
hands to hands on her arms and legs until she simply couldnтАЩt move.

When she couldnтАЩt fight, Molly relaxed her body completely. First, she wasnтАЩt going to waste energy
uselessly. Second, if she stopped fighting, she might catch them off guard and be able to escape.

тАЬGatemanтАФcan you hold it?тАЭ someone was shouting behind her. тАЬWeтАЩre going back for the others!тАЭ

тАЬHeтАЩs worthless,тАЭ one of her captors muttered. тАЬThis was as close to the city as he could get usтАФa good
Gateman could have put the thing almost in the courtyard.тАЭ

тАЬI donтАЩt like the feel of the forest tonight, either,тАЭ the one closest to her said. тАЬKeep the guards in tight.тАЭ

MollyтАЩs bare feet stood on packed snow, and she wore nothing but flannel pajamasтАФwhen she stopped
fighting, that fact plunged into her consciousness with shocking speed.

тАЬIf you donтАЩt get me some boots, and a coat, and maybe a hat and some gloves, you arenтАЩt going to have
to worry about getting me where youтАЩre goingтАФbecause IтАЩm going to freeze to death right here.тАЭ

Someone dragged a big, snorting animal through the dark toward her, and rattling behind the animal was
a big wooden farm-type wagon. But what the hell was the thing pulling it? It wasnтАЩt a horse and it
wasnтАЩt any variety of cowтАФit had a bit of a moose shape to it, and a hint of caribou, and some angles
that suggested bones where bones didnтАЩt belong in any beast of burden Molly had ever seen. And its
eyes glowed hell-red in the darkness.

тАЬYou can do without the shoes and the coat,тАЭ the one who had done most of the talking said to her.
