Solo ◇Thomas◇

They were walking up all the rubble as Thomas turned back to check on everyone, "Everyone okay?"

A chorus of "Yeah" was heard from the group including a strained one from Winston as he held his hand over his wound, the only one that didn't answer was Spencer. She was drinking from a small water bottle that Newt had given her earlier.

Winston was at the bottom behind everyone and although Spencer didn't want to interact with anyone she could see he was getting weak and looking worse. She slowed down to his side and held the water bottle out to him.

He looked down at the water bottle and up to Spencer, slightly confused and also shocked. From what he had seen she liked to distance herself and didn't really bother with interacting with any of them except Thomas.

She looked at him waiting for him to take it before seeing his hand weakly grip it whilst sending a soft, weak smile to her. He took a few sips before handing it back to her, "Thanks."

"Are you.." Spencer stopped, not really sure what to say, "Are you doing okay?" Her voice was slightly muffled by the neck gaiter but it was easy to hear her.

"I'm coping." His voice was weak as well but he still sent her a smile.

"I'm not the best person for this but.." Spencer looked up at Thomas to see him smiling at her and Winston. "Well, I'm just here if you want a shoulder to lean on without worrying your friends."

"Thank you."

She nodded and carried on walking, moving to the side slightly so she was distanced from everyone. They continued up the rubble before reaching to top and heading up another sand dune.

"A little further guys." Thomas reassures them.

At the top of the sand dune they look out over at the endless sand and broken down buildings.In the distance right above the horizon they could see the outlines of the mountains.

"Those mountains that's got to be it." Thomas says pointing. "That's where we're going."

"That's a long way off." Newt replies looking over at Thomas with uncertainty.

Winston took his backpack off to drag it along the sand as it was getting too hard for him to walk with it on.

"Then we better get moving." Spencer says.

Winston took a step before tripping and collapsing to the ground, sliding down the hill.

"Winston! Hey Winston!" Thomas shouts as they all rush towards him.

Spencer was next to Thomas before seeing Fry behind her so she stood up moving out the way so he could get to him. He sent a quick thankful smile before kneeling down next to Winson.

Teresa moved his head away from the sand and it was obvious to them all that he was struggling to breath. Spencer patted Thomas' shoulder and pointed to Winstons bandages to see blood seeping through.

"He's hurt pretty bad." Thomas says.

"What can we do?" Teresa asked, looking up at him.

"Hey Winston, can you hear me?" Newt asks whilst Thomas stood up next to Spencer scanning around them.

Winstons breaths were strained and he was gasping and grunting in pain.

"Hey, it'll be okay." Newt said, trying to comfort him.

Minho and Fry were pulling Winston with them on the makeshift stretcher. Spencer had taken Fry's bag whilst Thomas had Minhos.
