The sun settled over the horizon, as the day came to a close Denoë castle was casting its shadows over the gardens surrounding its strong standing walls. One side of the castle was grasped open, black with sot. The ashes of the extinguished fire were rising into the sky.

Nathan was staring at the scene, his arms crossed as some of the Denoë residents were trying to clean up the mess. "Hey?" A soft voice spoke from behind him. Nathan turned to see Zoe.

 Nathan turned to see Zoe

"Oh hello." He smiled before he turned back around to face the castle. Zoe stood next to him, still huddling a towel around her shoulders as she rested her head on Nathan's shoulder.

"Do you think we will see her again?" Zoe asked, Nathan knew she was talking about Raven. He slowly turned to look at the hill in the distance. "Truthfully... I don't know." He sighed.

Zoe puffed and leaned against him, resting herself on his chest. Nathan wrapped his arms around her as he tilted his head into her hair. SLAP.

Nathan jerked as he stumbled forward, he turned around to see Tori, filled with rage. "WHAT WAS THAT FOR!" Nathan cried as he pressed his hand on his cheek.

"For hitting me in the head multiple times!" Tori stammered, her face looking furious. Zoe tried not to laugh, but she couldn't help but giggle. Tara meanwhile was prancing around, throwing strawberries in the air, not helping anyone with the work they had to do. "That girl..." Tori huffed as she facepalmed.

"Look... I'm sorry." Nathan muttered as he approached Tori. "I needed some way to stop Shad, I didn't want to hurt you."

"Oh I know." Tori replied, a sharp tone in her voice. "But you deserve it anyway."

"How is that fair!?" Nathan complained, Zoe continued to snigger.

"Look, Geo and Olivia are both contained in the dungeon now. That's why I came to talk to you." Tori added, seeming to be suddenly relaxed.

"Okay..." Nathan nodded, as he didn't know what Tori was up to. "Geo is still alive then?"

 "Geo is still alive then?"
