four >>> escape

A light slowly creeps into the room, invading my vision. Quickly, my arm flies up laying over my eyes. The light is no longer a problem but when I hear a bit of a rough, unnecessary voice, that's when I groan shaking my head. 

"Get up or I have to force you-" Nik's voice pauses, then continues. "You won't be happy with the force." 

A sigh escapes my lips as I remove my arm from my eyes. There I blink repeatedly, not expecting it to be that bright. It's as if a really big light was in the center of the room, lighting up everything. Thankfully, however, my eyes adjust and just as they do I hear the door shut. I jump and quickly snap my head that way finding that Nik had left. 

I roll my eyes tossing the fur blanket off of me, glancing down at my body. The same clothes I've had for days now, stay attached to me, but what am I to do with that? Ask for clothing? Well, that would probably be the thing to do, but I don't really want to dress like the grounders. I'm happy with the clothes on my back, for the most part...With that said I slide my legs over the side of the bed and stand. I run my hands through my hair a couple times before eventually just giving up. I don't even know what I look like right now, but it doesn't really matter. 

"You ready?" I hear a knock before hearing Nik's voice. I nod my head and quickly look around the room. Before too long my eyes land on my bag and I immediately run to it. I open it, surprised I left it unzipped, but thrilled to see everything inside that needs to be, except my pencil. Sadly. But I zip it up, swinging it over my shoulder. It doesn't take long before I hear the door open as I slip on my shoes. 

My eyes flick to the door, spitting Nik glaring at me. I'm not entirely sure why, but it does make me hurry to put on my other boot and hurry towards the door, following him out. We walk down the halls before soon making it down to the bottom level. Not many grounders were around which I suppose is a good thing but I don't know...

Nik opens the big doors causing a bright light to appear in front of me. I lift up my hand, covering my eyes a bit, stepping forwards, following Nik out. Eventually, I put my hand down beginning to feel a lot of eyes on me as I follow behind Nik. My eyes trail around locking eyes with a lot of grounders. My teeth sink into my bottom lip and I glance to the ground quickening my pace to walk side by side with Nik. 

"Why is everyone staring at me?" I ask looking to the grounder. He keeps his eyes straight ahead, continuing to walk. 

"You are Skaikru," he says, simply. I nod slowly, tearing my eyes away looking to the ground. I watch my feet and pay attention to the gravel, racking my brain for something but I don't get anything. I'm sure the grounders hate seeing me, especially just roaming around. I'm sure they want me dead just like they want my people dead, but I can't do much about that, can I?

"This is the market. Roam freely but stay where I can see you," Nik said. I pick up my head already seeing the grounder walking away from me. A soft sigh escapes my lips as I take a swift look around. The place I was, was extremely busy. It reminds me of the cafe on the Arc or when we had dances. I never really participated at the dances but the drawings, the sketches I got were amazing to say the least. But I think this Market is way more people. MY eyes look in every direction, standing in the mist of it all. Throughout look I spot a fight break out between someone grabbing something and handing it to someone else. The clerk selling shouts loudly and begins getting louder and louder. Everyone had stopped what they were doing, paying attention to the scene and that's when the two customers take off running. The split up, one ran away from where I stood, the other running right towards me.
