Y/n's POV

"Ugh." I rub my head.
"Welcome home." My eyes squint to try and focus on the persons face.
"Who the-" The women's dark, lifeless eyes fill my vision.
"Back away!" I shout in fear, almost falling off the hard familiar bed.
"Calm down." She tells me.
"No! get away!" I stand quickly and loose my balance, falling to the floor.
"You have a head injury. You need rest." She says.
"No! I need to as far from you as possible!" Getting on my hands and knees, I push myself into a standing position.
"You're not going anywhere." She chuckles.
"I told the Leader how Mark was a bad influence on you." My eyes go wide in anger.
"You selfish woman! Do you ever think of how others feel?!" Her stare is cold and seems unfeeling.
"One day you'll understand why I do the things I do." My mother says, walking out the room and closing the door.
A tear slips from my eye. I'm back in my mother's house.

How could she being me back here? I've been working so hard to accomplish good things in my life and she goes and ruins it!!!

I punch the flimsy wall.
Tears could my vision.
Looking to my right I see a new feature in my bedroom; a window.
"Huh?" Walking over to it my hair seems to wipe away the tears for me.
The fourth quarter is barren.
A protector seems to be standing job too far from my window.

Guess she isn't all too stupid.

My bottom plants on the windowsill, wind blows through my hair. It's very rare for there to ever be wind. I'm glad today that there is. Lights all around the quarter start to go out as people go to bed.
"But it isn't even late." I whisper.
I spend a few more minutes looking out the window before getting up and deciding to go to sleep.
"Y/n!" Someone whisper yells my name.
Turning back to the window, my eyes spot a short, Asian, woman standing there. I almost didn't see her. She almost seems to bend into the dark.
"Miss. Fischbach?" I ask.
She puts a finger to her lips and nods.
"Put this on." A black sweatshirt smacks me in the face and I quickly pull it over my head.
"Climb out and follow me."
She starts to walk away from the house and back into the small amount of light that lamps in the quarter give off.
I do exactly as she says and jump out the window to follow her.
"What are we doing?" I whisper as I catch up to her.
"I told you that I was gonna show you where I get my flowers from." I smile.
"How did you know I was at my moms house?" I ask.
She's silent for a moment.
"I have my ways."

Not mysterious or creepy at all Miss. Fischbach.

"It's super far from here just so you're aware." She says.
"That's fine. I don't want to be in that place anyways."

I still can't even believe that a rule like that exists. If your parent thinks someone is a bad influence on their child then they can be practically forced to not be around them anymore.
As we walk through the second quarter I see Dan and Phil's house. It's very lovely looking.
I can also see the faint glow of a light coming from inside.

Knowing that some people actually love each other still is heart warming.

Most adults that get married end up breaking a part from one another or one of them goes missing. Just like mine and Mark's fathers. I've never known mine and mom never talked about him. I didn't even know that fathers were a thing that existed until I saw parents picking their kids up from school. I had asked my mother where my dad was and she said, "You don't have one." and walked away. I've pretty much steered clear of that question after that.

"Where are we?" I ask.
The tunnels we're turning down I don't recognize. They look so dark and expand far beyond the quarters.
"Outskirts." She tells me.
"Nothing is out here. Mostly because the Leader prohibited people from coming down here."
"Then how come you've never been caught?"
She smiles.
"Because no protector would want to cross my path."  I chuckle.
"And because they all fall asleep around this time." She motions to a protector I didn't even notice, sleeping in a small nasty puddle.
"Gross."
We continue to walk until I see a but of light. We stop walking and Miss. Fischbach turns toward me.
"What I'm about to show you Y/n you can never show to anyone else." I nod.
She starts to walk again making me slightly jog to catch up to her.
That's when I see it. The ceiling is red, orange, yellow, pink. It's even sprinkled with bits if white.
The concrete ground turns to mushy looking brown and green stuff. Flowers seem to be coming from inside of the green and brown material.
"Woah."
There's a huge puddle that looks like it goes on for miles.
"This is what everyone in the systems calls the 'sky'." Mark's mom interrupts my examination of this part of the systems I've never seen.
"But the sky is above us?" I raise my eyebrow.
"That multicolored ceiling is the real sky. You've seen the drawings before from that book I gave you." She tells me.
"I'm confused." I start to run my head.
"I can't tell you much. What I can say is that humans went into hiding a long time ago to protect themselves from something deadly." My eyes go wide.
"We live in the old sewer systems. The real world has been above us for centuries." The......giant yellow thing in the...sky? sends light onto her face making it glow.
"How do you know all this?" She reaches down and picks a flower.
"Because Y/n. I use to live up there once."
