"Jo..." Nathan muttered, coughing slightly. Zoe turned to him, she gently pressed her hand on his head to see if it was hurt. Thankfully it wasn't. "Yes what is it?" She asked.

"You know about Raven, yes?" Nathan questioned, looking to her with his weary eyes.

Nathan's expression lit up with shock, the fact Raven would do that was, horrible. Why would she do that? He thought. "How did you know it was Raven?" Nathan asked. "And not your father?"
