40 How is she? part 1 (1/2)

He stood in front one of the buildings watching the guardian core do their job. Snow was there fighting alongside her comrades. The demon fell down, looking dead, but their types are usually the sneaky ones.

He was right, the monster lifted his head and used his hands to shoot lava at one of the girls.

He heard Snow scream the girls name. It seems she is very close to this girl Yuna. Yuna looks scared and just before the lava hits her, she is enveloped with a light, maybe an invisible shield, but he couldn't be sure, but it still seems too late as the lava hits Yuna and sends her flying backwards.

In seconds Snow is at her knees in front of Yuna, tears streaming down her face. He looked away. He didn't want to see Snow cry, it makes him uncomfortable.

Instead he looked in the direction of the demon, eyes blazing. He hated every one of them. All they do is kill, and today was just another example of that.

He took out his own dagger and in a flash he was on the monster. He would have to work fast, otherwise someone might see him and it would only cause unnecessary suspicion. In a swift move he cut the demons throat, and disappears before anyone can see him.

Still hiding in the shadows he saw Snow passing by with tears stained on her face, he sighed before coming out of the shadows.

...

Snow didn't have to turn around to know who it was.

”Nate, what are you doing here?” She asked ignoring his comment.

”What, I wanted to know what all the fuss was about.” He shrugged before falling into step next to her.

Snow hugged herself, feeling a little chilly from the slight breeze passing through.

She saw the carriage that Noctis send for her. He is so kind, she can't help but fall further for him.

”Earth to Snow.”

”What?”

”You heard me.”

Snow realised he was talking to her, then her eyes widened, because he was holding the carriage door open for her.

”Sorry, I wasn't... listening.” Snow was distracted with the way Nate's leather jacket clung on his body, revealing some of the muscles he had, but she quickly looked away before he could get any funny ideas, blushing a light red.

Nate noticed it and a smirk began to form on his lips.

”So I've noticed.”

Snow only rolled her eyes and stepped into the carriage, to her surprise Nate stepped in after her.

She didn't think a guy like him actually had manners, or that he would step in after her into the carriage.

”What are you doing?”

”Sitting in the carriage, obviously.”

”I can see that.” She snapped.

”Then why are you asking? I thought you were supposed to be smart.” Nate snickered.

Snow's blood is boiling, she is very irritated right now, and her on coming headache is only adding petrol to the fire.

He was the one who came to her, walked with her to the carriage, and then stepped into it along with her.

”If you're only here to irritate me, I suggest you leave, because I'm not in the mood for an argument, especially with you.” Her voice was like venom from a snake, but it didn't move Nate at all.

”As much as I like to bicker with you, no, that's not why I'm here.”

His words caught Snow off guard.

”Then why are you here?”

”I don't know, I guess you needed company.”

Snow almost laughed.

”You're kidding me right, I needed company.”

”You were the one who was crying, not me.”

Snow laughed, before turning serious.

”Get out.”
