47 Regret, part 3 (1/2)

Snow gave one big lunge, souring through the air. In that moment, with the wind all around her, she could see half the kingdom, with lights shining out of homes with families enjoying the little food they can get in these parts of the kingdom.

And just little further Snow could see where the line of broken houses stopped, and where a new line of different houses began. They are the homes of the rich, where food is a never ending source.

Snow landed on her feet on the next rooftop, instantly missing the feeling of the wind all around her. She looked back to where Nate stood, smiling confidently at him.

”Think you can jump better, Nate?” Snow taunted.

”I know I can do better than you, princess. You forget, I've been at this for a while.”

Nate jumped and soured through the sky. With his sliver necklace tucked inside his shirt, and his black leather jacket flapping behind him, he landed a few feet infront of Snow.

”How is that for you?” Nate said, smiling broadly, obviously very pleased with himself. Snow rolled her eyes at him, not saying anything.

”What? Is the princess mad that she got beaten?”

Snow gave a little snort.

”In your dreams.” She scoffed.

”You should watch out then, my dreams usually come true.” Nate said smirking.

Snow surpressed a laugh, but settled for a smile, shaking her head.

”The competition is not over yet.” Snow said, her gaze wandering around the area. ”You never did say what you were doing out here,” Snow said, finally letting her gaze rest on Nate.

Nate watched her for a few seconds, and Snow wondered what he was thinking the whole time.

”Oh, you know, this and that.” Nate waved the question off, stuffing one of his hands in his front jean pocket. He let his gaze wander over the area.

Snow lifted her brow and crossed her arms.

”And that is?” Snow asked, she tried to hide the suspicion in her voice, but that didn't stop the train of thoughts that entered her mind. She knew Nate wasn't a saint, obviously, but he wouldn't be involved in illegal stuff would he? Not that she can actually be certain, as she doesn't know him that well.

Nate's smirk returned when his gaze stopped at Snow.

”I can see the gears turning in your head, princess.” Nate said, twirling his finger in a circular motion to emphisize his point. ”Come on, we still have a competition to get on with.” He turned his back on Snow before she can say anything else, and leaped to the next building that was a bit higher than the one they were standing on. The vines almost completely covered the building, and it looked like it might crumble down any moment.

Snow decided to drop the subject, because she could clearly see he didn't want to talk about it.

The sky was completely covered in dark clouds, and it might just be that Nate was right, rain and snow was on its way, and the strong gust of wind that blew in from the North, was just more evidence to prove it.

Snow also leaped of the building, and to put more power into her jump, she did a single somersault, before landing on the next building. This time, landing right next to Nate.
