Salt. Sand. Hope. Defeat. The vast ocean.
Everything flashed through Kiara Carrera's head as she finally made it to John B's escape boat with JJ in tow.
Her hands trembled as she held JJ's neck up, begging him to wake up. She even went to the extent of smacking his shoulder, as if the familiar motion would somehow jolt him awake.
Miraculously, he wakes up and starts coughing up water. His eyes travel around the boat, searching for those familiar brown circles that are constantly full of warmth. He counts his friends first. John B is alive and well. Sarah is holding onto him like her life depends on it(which it very might will). Pope is sitting next to Cleo, who has a quiet look of content on her face.
Then, he finally comprehends an arm holding his shoulder and a hand holding his neck. It takes a moment to realize who's holding him. Kie. The one who he was trying to protect in the first place. She was alive.
Kie lit up and couldn't think of anything else to say except, "Hi." In typical JJ fashion, he followed up with a "sup."
------------------------------------------------------------
"I claim thee, Poguelandia." JJ declares, earning a chuckle from the rest of the pogues. It was a tiny bright spot in a dark storm. But still, a bright spot.
"To going full pogue?" John B asks, holding Sarah's hand.
"To going full pogue." the group repeats, JJ helping Kiara up and Pope helping up Cleo. Something about the way Pope was talking to Cleo made Kie happy. She thought that maybe, a romance would be blooming out of the two.
A similar thought crossed John B's mind, only about two different pogues with a lot more history.
