Crash Landing // Poe Dameron

03.

Thalia's eyes slowly fluttered open, her eyes squinted as the sun blinded her for a few seconds before she was able to see. Thalia managed to pick her body off of the burning ground, dusting the sand from her dirty body, she examined where she was. They were back in Jakku.  Her eyes fell on a sleeping form, "Finn?"

Thalia took a few wobbly footsteps towards him, and shook him. Hoping he would wake up. "Finn, wake up!" He jolted awake, jumping up on his feet. Thalia grew weary, she hadn't seen Poe. "Finn, we need to find Poe." Finn took notice of the girls panicked voice and complied.

The two walked around the wreckage before realizing half of the ship wasn't there. Her eyes looked into the distance hoping to spot anything, and luckily she did. Black smoke floated up to the sky, nodding her head towards it, "Let's go." Without looking back Thalia ran, and didn't stop.

Each step brought a new wave of fear, and worry. Within minutes they were at the crash, "Poe! Poe!" The smoke blinded Thalia as She reached her hand into the broken window, feeling for any form of life. Her fingertips touched leather, and she grabbed it, pulling it out of the wreckage. 

Realizing that Poe wasn't attached to it she reached her hand in again. Then the ground sank, the ship falling, and disappearing under the sand. She stumbled back, tripping over her own feet. Thalia grabbed Finn's arm, which was still covered in his stormtrooper uniform, in attempt to balance herself. Her voice quivered, "Finn, Poe wasn't in there, right?" Finns face held some hope, but she could tell he thought Poe was dead. She wrapped Poe's jacket around herself, it was bit large, but she was going to keep it safe until she found out what happened to him.

Thalia refused to believe that he was dead, until she knew for sure she would keep hope, but that didn't stop the tears that flowed down her face. Looking at Finn, Thalia nodded, "We need to leave." Wiping her tears she began the long trek to town. They needed to find bb-8.

By the time the resistance pilot  and former stormtrooper reached a town, we were panting for water. Finn had taken off his uniform, ridding himself if his former life, and also effectively making him cool down. Thalia's body took me to a well, while Finn walked to a watering hole. Thalia Didn't have any idea why he would drink the water that an animal had been drinking out of. Turning back to her own water, her tongue relished in the moisture that had been brought back to her mouth.

She didn't know how long she had been drinking the water, but what she did know is that she heard Finns voice. She turned around finding Finn, talking to a girl, and bb-8. "Bb-8!" The droid looked at Thalia before gliding over. "Who are you?"

The brown-haired girls voice interrupted my happiness at finding the droid, "My names Thalia, I'm bb-8's master's friend." Thalia frowned at how lame that sounded. Narrowing her eyes at the scavenger, "Who are you?"

"Rey" Nodding Thalia looked at bb-8, "Well Rey, do you think you could help us get off this planet?" Bb-8 slid next to Thalia beeping in agreement. A frown fell across Reys face. "I can't I-"

Her voice was drowned out by explosions. "Well fuck." Thalia began to run next to Rey, Finn, and bb-8. "Our best way off here is that." Rey's voice sounded over the blasts.

Thalia doubted that they could get anywhere with it, "Are you sure?" Pointing in the direction of a bigger ship. "What about that?"

Without looking back at Thalia she spoke, "That, that's a piece of junk." Running to the first option ship, before they could get within 10 feet of it, it exploded. Groaning in frustration Thalia stopped, then looked back, "piece of junk it is."
