Finally they reach the burgo pass where Harker was supposed to meet a private coach and driver to take him the rest of the way to castle dracula.

The private coach shows up and Harker thinks that the drivers eyes looked red in the lamplight.

At this point it's almost midnight and he hears wolves howling. The horses pulling the couch starts to get nervous and it begins to snow as they keep going. Off to the side of the road they both notice a flickering blue flame. The driver makes a pile of rocks to mark the place. To harker it looks like he can see blue fire through the drivers body. Wolves kept surrounding the coach, but the driver miraculously drives them off and finally they reach the castle.
