Melting Snow // Coriolanus Snow

one: Twins

Alara was sleeping on her stomach peacefully, with her face shoved into the pillow to not get disturbed by the heated sun rays that were filtering through the broken window. Her eyes were still closed when she heard voices deep in the house, with yells and chaotic shouts.

Knowing very well what was to come, Alara groaned and turned around, her face facing the roof which had water spots on it. She got lost in her thoughts, with the noise of water dripping down the roof into a half filled bucket. drip drip drip

The door to her room was smacked open, and someone straight stumbled into the bucket, kicking it accidently and letting all the water swoosh over the dry aged wood of the floor.

"Fuck me", Egan, her 17-year-old twin brother grumbled under his breath, cringing his face over his dripping pants bottom. Before he could even look up or say anything, A flash of rainbows swished through the door and jumped onto Alara bed, wrapping their arms around her body tightly and pelting kisses on the side of her head.

"God Lucy" Alara giggled, and the 16-year-old girl chuckled at her friend turned sister's reaction. "Aren't ya excited, baby?" Lucy asked, and Alara looked at the girl, loving her pellicular accent.

cough Gay cough, was heard from Egan, but he shut up when both of the girls glared at him with a bored look. Soon enough, Lucy let go of Alara body and sat back on her bed comfortably, "So are you excited?" She asked again, and Alara only shrugged her shoulders.

But at the sudden noise from the door, they turned their head to see Alara twin brother cursing under his breath, still focusing on his wet pants. Without saying anything to the girls, he left the room, probably to get a new pair of pants, or maybe to dry that one because let's be real it's not like they had any good clothes in the first place.

Alara rolled her eyes at her brother antics and turned her attention back to Lucy. "You should come with us Lu" She said and Lucy sighed: I wished I could, but you know Capitol sends a list of performers they wanted, and my name is not in the list."

Alara groaned and stood up from her bed, running her hand over her crinkled shirts, she angrily shook her head "I am telling you it's that bitch Mayfair, I am sure she messed with the list. Because you are one of our best singers, so no way you are not invited

Lucy looked down at her lap sadly, but then she looked up with a smile and crawl to the end of Alara' bed, her feet swinging she shrugged her shoulders It's okay, but I will get to see Capitol some other time"

Alara went deep in her thoughts. No one from districts ever wanted to see capitol because there was only one way to do it and that was by getting reaped. A fate no one would wish upon their enemies. However, it was different for Alara and lucy, being nomadic musician, somehow the news of their talent and art reached the ears of Capitol.

And hence why they were invited to the Capitol to play as a band, and maybe even perform some tricks for some spoiled brat birthday. Alara was worried because Capitol was never kind to outsiders, however the money being offered was a fat check she couldn't deny.

If not for her own sake then for the sake of the orphans of the districts, to whom she can feed good food, and buy them nice clothes and maybe even some luxury such as toys.

They were deep in thought when her brother came back, his pants dried, and knocked at the door, "Are you guys clothed? Decent?" He asked with a hand of his eyes and Alara rolled her eyes at him and replied bored "Oh yea Lucy yea kiss me harder" in plain tone.

At this, Egan removed his hand from his eyes and glared at the girls. "That was lame", while Alara didn't care to reply to him, Lucy giggled and standing up from Alara's bed, she walked toward Egan and wrapped her arms around Egan shoulder and poke his cheek lovingly, "You are lame"
