The leaders and the Keepers made no hesitation or a thought when they threw Poe into a Slammer. The fight between Poe and Nico lasted almost a minute and the Gladers around the two were shouting and yelling and cheering like they haven't seen an actual fight. Poe ended up getting punched on his eye once while he got Nico few times. The older boy doesn't get taken away, Poe can understand why, he's aware that he started the fight but did it just for a friend.
Slammer, also they call it as the Pit, was a jail cell. They put a Glader there for their misbehaviour. Most of the Greenies that arrive are thrown in there to clam down. Alby told Poe he'll have to spend the night there, he heard something about a Gathering, he wasn't sure what that meant. Then Nick responded maybe and that's when they left Poe alone in the Slammer.
The Slammer was a small space, dug into the earth about five feet down, Poe was unable to stand up straight without getting his head on the ceiling. The walls around him were all branches and bamboos and stones like the sizes of bricks. The ground was all dirt and soil, the bedding was more uncomfortable than his hammock, made of cloths and sticks. It was all dark and miserable in the Slammer.
Poe sat miserably on the bedding, the Pit made him feel miserable but doesn't really mean that he regretted what he did. Footsteps were heard, someone was coming, a torchlight illuminated the Slammer, Poe glanced up toward the door and see Anton approaching. Along with Teo and Winston behind the young boy.
"What you did back there, was really stupid" said Winston, "...but it was awesome" he grinned.
"Yeah, I agree" Teo sat down by the Slammer. Anton seated on the ground as well. "About damn time someone confronts that slinthead"
"I told you, Poe" Anton groaned, "I tried to tell you to leave it. You didn't need to do that and you're in for some big trouble"
Teo scoffed, waving his hand, "I'm sure it'll be nothing, few days in a Slammer is a possible punishment... Banishment? I doubt that, unless he's crazy like George was. Though I wasn't here when it happened but there are stories"
George was the deceased Glader who Poe assumed had been dead for a long time and was possibly the first. "What did you heard about that guy anyway?" He asked with curiosity.
"He got crazy after he got Stung by a Griever. Ended up killing another Glader by biting his throat off then Alby had to put him down" Teo explained, "There are whispers about it around here sometimes"
Poe was confused and at the same time, feeling bad for the deceased boy who he never met. Or maybe he has, who knows. "Stung? You get sting by a Griever?"
