Kel struggled in the ropes that bound her. What would Rathausak do to her? Torture her? Use her for ransom? Then she nearly laughed out loud at her own folly. She was just a knight, and doubted that the king would lift a finger to save her. But Raoul might. And so would Dom. Suddenly, tears sprung to her eyes at the thought of those two. She loved them both. And Neal. All she knew was that she needed to get hom.
"What are you going to do to me in Hamrkeng?" she asked her captors.
Ivan laughed and explained the deaths that awaited her, and soon, every soldier was laughing and jeering. Except one. He stayed quiet in the back. He had blond hair and blue-green eyes. He puzzled Kel. She thought that she recognized him. When the mysterious Scanran saw Kel looking at him, he cleared his throat and pulled his hood up, shadowing his face. Kel shook her head and focused on Ivan, still suspicious. Very soon, they set up camp. One of the soldiers made a fire. Kel was given bread and an apple, then chained to Ivan. She settled down to sleep.
