The question stung her and she felt tears fill her eyes. Arisia shook her head sadly, then stood and spread her wings, feeling the last of her shorn feathers falling into her fingers. There were new feathers beneath that. She softly sighed, then attempted to flap her wings. She rose a few feet, then flapped harder and took off. Cool clean air rushed across her face and her tears were swept away with immense joy. Freedom at last! The teen rose to some of the clouds, merely a speck to most eyes. She flew around a little ways, eyes searching through the desert. It looked like an endless reserve of sand. Hot itchy sand everywhere. The woman scowled, her stomach tightening. The flying was taking a bit of an edge on her. A few minutes later, she'd managed to find a gas station, a dozen miles out. She wasn't going to risk landing.<br/><br/>Arisia unsteadily flapped her wings, struggling to get back to the group. She sleepily landed on the sand, her muscles aching from the flying. She flapped her wings again, but sank to the ground. She could at least see Sky and Salem, but she had to walk a long ways back to them. "Hey!" she tried to call, her throat dry. "F-Found something!" she called out again. The woman swayed slightly, her wings feeling unusually heavy and her head burning. She managed to walk several more feet, panting heavily. "Guys!" she called again, closer now. "There's... a b-building... With water... and food... It's... a little ways south."<br/><br/>Tris stared at Sky in silence. She'd curled up in the sand and was trembling softly. There were small knobs on her head. She blinked at her again, tiredly. She whimpered, then crawled to her feet and nodded slightly. She began to walk away from the facility and through the sand, her head burning. She just wanted to be left alone. She swayed, scared and sick. She sensed Salem not trusting them. She didn't blame her. Tris relaxed, then looked up. She saw Arisia there. She blinked, then looked back at the others as if to indicate that she'd seen something there. She tiredly yawned, then ran over to Arisia and hoped that the girl had found some water.<br/><br/>Arisia tiredly stumbled up to the party with Tris in tow. She looked at Sky and Salem with an exhausted and haggard expression. "There's a building south," she repeated. "We can look for water or food there. We need to hurry. Let's grab the kid and go, shall we?"
