The sound of knocking was on the door to Daine's cell first thing in the morning. Oh No!! She thought. Like an idiot she had fallen asleep and had not come up with any plans. The door opened to reveal Sara Moreau standing their with a rope. She walked over to Daine without saying a word. Daine was glaring at her with the most stubborn face you would have ever seen. The woman grabbed the bounds that were tying her, and Daine instantly bit her upper arm. The woman released her and screamed. "You little wretch!!" With that, Daine dashed under her and out the door. But, she ran into Christopher Vivaldi. He grabbed her and she kicked to get him to let her go. His grip on her was a good one and she failed to escape. They walked her to the dorr and led her outside. The others were all there, waiting.

"We're sorry little girl, but we cant let you live." said Emily.

"Your powers would destroy us all." said Nicholas.

She closed her eyes for a moment. She searched deep inside her self for a plan. But instead, she found a thread. A thread of copper fire. It hung inside her, loose and unstrung. She grabbed it.

"Say goodbye to the light of day," said Sara.

She tied a rope to Daine's neck, and the other to a tree limb, about 8 feet from the ground. (Daine was only 5 ft. tall.) She lifted Daine onto a tall wooden crate (about 3 ft. high) The rope was just faintly loose.

"Goodbye, Daine Sarrasri." They all chorused together.

Sarah kicked the box. Daine fell and the rope went taught. Daine cast the thread she found out. She didn't even realize what she did until a large haxk came a bit the twine holding Daine and she Lunged to the ground. There was a moment of hesitastion from her jailors. Daine jumped and ran. She ran and ran and ran. Her speed grew less as she became weak. Whatever she did with that thread of copper fire made her very weary. Her capturers did not pursue her. When she turned around to make sure, she ran into a rock and tripped. She fell into the stream, forgetting all about what had happened.

She lay there unconscious for some time.
