Chapter 62 A Hard Choice

• When we sobered up and thought about what we were going to do, we had to help Zoe, which would make it nearly impossible to turn back. The new playing field, the new round in the age-old conflict had just begun, and the tensions were higher than before. And somewhere out there, The Raven was waiting for us to take the next step.

For days we get through our lives in a haze where every sudden noise and every conversation has us on edge. They say that when you hear the fluttering of a raven, you will die; the presence of The Raven cast a shadow over everything so that we could not give it our full attention.
• I remember we were at our regular table in the school’s cafeteria, trying to make the best of cafeteria lunch, which for the most part neither of us was very fond of, when Zoe joined us. Zoe was a rather quite girl in our class, a person who we never took our time to notice in the past. But as she poses today, there is a determined look in her eyes which causes both of us to sit up straighter.
