Im safe, I just need to wait for Anya now. I followed the commander for what seemed like hours before she stopped. She turned to look at me with a smile. "Welcome to Polis."

*Marias POV*

"This is Polis?" I was awe struck it is so beautiful. Well as beautiful as a ruined city could be.
"Yes, this is where the clans handle their affairs with me and each other. This is also consideres the capital and where I reside." Lexa answered me not even sparing me a glance. I split from the group and look around at all the people who have set up homes and shops. I see Lexa stop out of the corner of my eye but she doesnt say anything. I continue looking seeing everything that we havent. Everyone at the base told me they are vicious they want us dead, but no one has seen them like this. They are warriors but they are also humans the only other person I know who think like this is Octavia, but I dont even know if she is alive.
I slowly walk back over to Lexa "Are my people dead." She doesnt answer instead she walks up to the tallest building and starts to assend upward. "Lexa answer me. Are my people dead." Still she continues her journey upward. I grab her arm and pin her against the wall. The shock in her eyes is eveident but she remains still. "Answer me Lexa. Are my people alive."
She pushes me off her and pins me with a knife against my neck. "You do not get to make commands I do and you will listen. I didnt want to answer you so I didnt. It will be wise if you remember this. You got lucky it is only us around but next time you won't be so lucky and I wont be as generous." She pushes away from me putting her knife away and continuing upwards. "We are going to the meeting room it is where I meet with all the ambassador and make my desicions, we will talk there. You will aslo be given a room to stay in and for now you are our guest and I plan to keep it that way. Do you understand?"
"Yes Lexa." She gives me a nod and we enter a room where she takes a seat in the middle on a big throne.
"Good I will have to start teaching you our ways so you blend. I will get you some new clothes." She shouts some words that ive never heard before and two men come barging into the room. They look at me and then Lexa. She said some words again snd the two men bowed their heads and left. "They will get you some new clothes and a room."
I nod my head and take a seat near Lexa in a chair. "You have to call me the Commander when people are around, when we are alone I will alow you to call me Lexa because I like you and would like you to stay here as my friend. You may ask any questions youd like tomorrow you start to learn how to speak trigedasleng. Am I understood."
I nod my head and she gives me a pointed look "Yes Commander." She gives me a smile.
"Good now ask any question and I will do my best to answer it."
"Are my people alive."
She pauses and moves to look out the window. "Im not sure." She turns and looks at me. "There was a lot of burned bodies and we cannot tell which is which, but when we went to scavage the battle sight everyone was gone. So we took that as if they didnt perish in the fight they fled and will perish on their journy... Im sorry." She puts her hand on my soulder and gives me a small smile. "You have had a long day let me escourt you to your room. Yes?"
I nod my head and fallow her out of the room, she leads me to this big room with a wondow showing me the entire city. "This will be where you stay my room is just down the hall feel free to come get me if you need anything." I give her a small smile and she walks out of the room. I look out the window and I can see kids running around and playing and people talking to the shop keepers.
I move around and look at the room the bed is right in the middle of the room there was a mirrior and dresser. I layed in the bed and realised this is my new life. I am now a grounder in the eyes of my people and im a wanna be in the eyes of the grounders.
