Poe was woken up by Thomas who found a crow pecking into one of the packs before he scared the black bird away. Poe watched the crow flapping it's wings before flying away.
The sun is out, partially cloudy and windy. Poe was still tired, his eyes were itchy and heavy, he could use some more sleep but it was time to get up and keep moving. His muscles ached from all the run last night and felt his legs stiffened as he tried to get onto his feet.
Not everyone were awake, Frypan had to wake up the other two, Aris and Leigh. Anton was already sitting up before Poe did, Teo had left the spot to go for a quick bathroom room, Winston was still lying down on his spot, oddly that his skin was pale than yesterday. Nico was looking into his pack as if looking for something, Teresa had been sleeping near Thomas and Minho, she looked more tired than Poe.
"We should get going" Thomas announced.
Poe wanted to say that they need a little more time to get ready, but everyone already got themselves ready and grabbed their packs. Poe glanced down where Newt had slept, he was still sitting and already had his eyes up on Poe.
Winston grunted loudly, Poe shifted his attention and see the Keeper of Slicers struggling to get up. Poe approached his friend, "You all right?" He reached a hand for Winston to grab. Poe immediately assumed it was when a Crank grasped on Winston and had his stomach clawed was hurting him. The bandages around his stomach had bleed through while he was sleeping.
"Yeah" Winston lightly smiled, grabbed Poe's hand and helped him get up. Winston's hand was burning like fever.
"You sure?" Poe looked at him.
Winston lightly pat Poe's shoulder, "Yeah, I'm sure" he went to go join Thomas who had went ahead.
Poe was waiting for Teo and Anton to get back from their break while others have already went ahead. Teo got back before Anton did, they grabbed their packs and followed the group. As Poe walked with Teo and Anton, Poe was concerning about Winston already, "Winston don't look so well"
"What are you talking about? He seems fine" Teo gazed ahead where Winston was standing.
Before Poe could say anything else, the view they found when they joined the group had them all in halt and fell stun. In front of them was two rows of dozens of buildings, all in ruins, like something washed onto these buildings and ripped out the walls. Poe remembered what Ava Paige said back in the Maze where she mentioned about the solar flares that hit the earth. He wondered if he was alive when the solar flares hit, or how he survived. Also wondered of his family, if his parents survived or if he ever had any siblings. Are they still alive? Any of them?
