Susannah stiffened and struggled. "No, I don't want to go to a doctor."
Everyone knew about the three cousins who'd defied the brothers and went to doctors on the outside. She wasn't about to die horribly because outsiders killed people. Who knew what an al-ien doctor would do to her?
Azagor ignored her kicking and screaming and easily carried her and Killer through the huge sil-ver walled cavern.
A woman with red hair and pale freckled skin waited for them in another silver room with an ominous looking slab in the middle of the floor. To Susannah it looked like a gravestone. She sagged and moaned. No way could she outrun Azagor, but she didn't want to lie on that thing. And she had a horrible feeling that's exactly what's about to happen.
