She let them take her with them. After that, they began to move constantly around to different areas in the wilderness. She describes the celebration of the Indians as a place resembling hell where they do satanic rituals of roaring, yelling and dancing. To survive, Mary had to eat Indian "filthy trash" which had become the most delicious food because she was too hungry (79). Even though the Indians fed her to keep her alive, they disrespected her Christian practices. They threatened to break her face if she did not work on the Sabbath day (79). However, she had to maintain a good behavior, hoping that they would not harm her and her daughter. Their disregarding attitude towards Christianity makes her ask why God protecting them. .
As time went on, few of the Indians felt sympathetic for Rowlandson. She had gone from despising the Indians to trying to befriend them and even care for them. Her captor even told her that when the time comes, her husband will be able to buy her back. They somewhat developed a mutual relationship as they realized that they could gain from each other. Mary knitted and sewed clothes for the Indians and the Indians provided her with food in exchange. Mary tried to find most of her comfort out of her faith in the Bible. She also began to find comfort from different kind deeds of her enemy whom she still referred to them as "barbarous creatures" (89). She became more optimistic that she would return home when she heard there was council meeting at Wachuset about the redeeming the captives. The Indians finally agreed to release Mary with twenty pounds of goods in exchange. After that, she ran into two Indians who were Christians name Peter and Tom who assisted her in her journey home. Mary burst into tears and could not speak to them because her heart was so full (97). She was so happy when she saw these two Indians showing the views that she had become more comfortable with the Indians than she was prior to her captivity.
