We were heading for where we heard the Raven had been spotted: Limmat.

Currently, Jesper and I were standing at the stern, and I was sitting on the railing while Jesper stood beside me, with his hand on mine.

Suddenly,  everyone was talking about there being two people in a small boat that we were going to rescue.

Turns out it was two girls, one our age and one Ben's age.

Jesper was the only guy not commenting on the girl's looks, he just stood by me, and I was still on the railing.

"Jesper, Cora, come meet Lydia and Lili." Hal said.

Jesper helped me down from the railing even though I didn't need it because he was being nice.

I shook Lydia's hand and waved to Lili.

Jesper shook hands with Lydia, but before he could say anything about Lili, she and Ben tackled him.

I couldn't help but laugh, although, I helped him up.

That night, Jesper and I were the only ones still awake.

"Can you sing again?"

"Oh Jesper. You sound like a little kid."

"Pleeeeaaaase?"

"What if I'm not up to it?"

"Darn."

"I'm picking on you Jes."

"Oh, ok."

  One more depending on a prayer

And we all look away

People pretending everywhere

It's just another day

There's bullets flying through the air

And they still carry on

We watch it happen over there

And then just turn it off

Hey, yeah, yeah, hey, yeah

We must stand together

Hey, yeah, yeah, hey, yeah

There's no giving in

Hey, yeah, yeah, hey, yeah

Hand in hand forever

Hey, yeah, yeah, hey, yeah

That's when we all win

Hey, yeah, yeah, hey, yeah

That's, that's, that's when we all win

That's, that's, that's when we all win

They tell us everything's alright

And we just go along

How can we fall asleep at night

When something's clearly wrong

When we could feed a starving world

With what we throw away

But all we serve are empty words

That always taste the same

Hey, yeah, yeah, hey, yeah
