Savage Beloved
“Of course they all understood the reason for her capture, but no one spoke of being in favor of his action, or against it.
It was up to him whether he would eventually release Candy back to her world, or make her stay among the Wichita forever.
Perhaps in time she might even be happy there, for her world had been torn asunder because of the Sioux’s attack on the fort.
He glanced at the smoke hole and saw that the sky was growing dark. He could hear the excited chatter of children outside; they ...were ready for a full evening of storytelling. Two Eagles quickly drew the council to a close.
In hurried steps, he went to the tepee where Candy was held hostage.

Candy watched wide-eyed as Two Eagles knelt beside her and first removed the painful irons from her wrists, and then from her ankles.
