Melting Snow // Coriolanus Snow

three: I got you

Alara kept looking at the guy, he was frozen too, as if any sort of movement would kick-start Alara fight or flight, and she would fly away from his grasp.

"Alara!" she heard her brother voice and tried to look over the man shoulder, but he was tall enough, and so she turned her head to the side to look at her brother. "Alara!" Egan exclaimed again.

His footsteps steadily walking towards her, but they had a small jump into them, as if he was trying to reach her quicker. The boy that was standing in front of Alara, immediately took his hands off her waist, as if he was burned by her body. And moving to the side, standing beside her, but with a respective distance.

Alara frowned when the cold morning breeze of Capitol hit her in the face, and the feeling of warm large hands were covered by a cold breeze that invaded her clothes, rushed through them, and made her shiver a little.

And then her frowned deepened when she realized why she was frowning in the first place, and to feel a some warmth, Alara wrapped her arms around her body securely. Egan along with the other crew member and the other young brunette boy walked toward her.

While all of her crew looked annoyed and sick to death, the brunette boy with a mop of curls on his had looked excited. She was unsure what of, but it ticked her off. And as for the other snow haired boy, she didn't even dare to look at him. Why? She didn't know, maybe it was his deep blue eyes.

Egan reached his sister, put his hand on her shoulder, and with a raise of his brow he asked if she was alright. Alara didn't speak up, but she only slightly nodded her head at him. She knew they were in enemy territory and all of their actions and words were being monitored.

"Hello and Welcome to Capitol!" exclaimed the brunette boy with excitement in his voice and eyes. He waited for a reply, his eyes running from one crew member to another. Perhaps Alara was tired, but she saw how his eyes stayed on her and her brother for a second-long.

Normally she didn't let such tiny things get to her mind, but this was Capitol, nothing was unimportant, not even a second-long glance that she and Egan received. Maybe the boy had finally got the idea that they weren't going to speak because he awkwardly clasped his hands behind his back and said "My name is Sejanus Plinth, and it was me who cordially invited you all to Capitol"

Silence. Again there was silence. Until finally Egan decided to break up the awkward air surrounding them all and spoke up in a very civilized manner, "Thank you for inviting us. I am Egan Feuer." He said, the guy named Sejanus raised his eyebrow, his eyes tilting over the rest of the crew.

Egan finally gave up, and introduced his stubborn crew to him. "This here is my crew. That's polo and Victor, our drummers." Polo and victor only nod at Sejanus who smiled back at them with a nod. "This is our female singer, Inna. Nyx and Alara here are our guitarist".

Sejanus looked at all of them for a second, as if he was trying to read them, but he was impressed that not a single emotion was given to him. Unfolding his hand from his behind, he opened his mouth but was interrupted when a huge two transports came into their view.

Sejanus waved at the drivers who swiftly drove the transports and came to stop next to them all. Alara focused on the cars, not wanting to go anywhere near another box after being in one for so long.

But Sejanus turned and clapped his hands together, "Come on we can continue our conversation later when you all are rested and clean" His eyes ran through everyone and for a second Alara felt insecure of how dirty she looked in the midst of everything so clean and beautiful and rich.

"Come on, let's go!" He said excitedly, and with hesitant steps, everyone walked near the transporting vehicles. Egan and Victor sat inside the first one, and they turned around and immediately gave a helping hand to Inna because the vehicle was high. Sejanus who was in the midst of climbing into the vehicle, turning around he saw Alara waiting behind him, and tilt his head towards the second vehicle.
