A Beginning Of Any Great Matter-Nathan Drake x OC

Chapter 17

(I didn't really want to write this bit as when I played it I thought it was a bit boring but I'm doing it anyway but will be short as there will be a skip and I'm sorry if there are any mistakes)

We all walk down the large corridor which brings us into this weird looking room which I couldn't describe but in my opinion it is absolutely beautiful. "What is this place?" Elena asks from behind me, I couldn't help but look around with awe. Ever since I was a little girl I've always love this stuff, even more than the actual treasure.

"A really elaborate way to hide the damn treasure." Nate snaps a bit as he walks down the stairs, walking up to some broken and crumbling wall. "Which way do we go?" I ask Nate as I walk past him getting ready to walk over to the three stairways but I was pulled back by Nate.

"Be careful!" Nate says as he points towards the large gap in between the stairs and here. I smile to him and walk to where Elena is, who is now on the other side to us, looking around.

Nate and I both jog towards her but Nate stops before we got the stairs. "Huh - wait a second..." Nate says as he looks to some of the symbols on the floor.

"What is it?" I ask Nate, looking at the symbol, Nate pulls out the map and says "There are roman numerals on the corner of Drake's map - this has got to mean something..."

Nate jumped to the other side just as Elena announces "We'll stay here" I turn to look at her and raised my eyebrow but she just ignores it and carries on what she was saying. "and keep a lookout while you figure out

how we're going to get across." Nate nods and carries on moving until he is out of clean sight.

I turn towards Elena with my arms crossed and leaned on my one leg and asked: "Why am I staying here?" Elena turns towards me before replying. " One: your injured and you need to have some rest and two: I need to change your bandages."

She pulls out on of the packets of bandages she had in her pocket, placing it onto some to a broken piece of the ceiling before pulling up my black, ripped tank top and carefully unwraps the dirty bandage, I watch as she takes a look at the wound before she smiles and says.

"It looks like it's getting better but the infection is still there but it will be alright."

I sign in relief, I'm so happy that it's healing and I'm not going to die here from it. Elena wraps the new, clean bandage around my waist and smiles before picking back the large fire touch and walks off to look around and whilst she did this, I go to the edge and sit down and look over to where Nate disappeared, waiting for him to come back the same way but that properly won't happen.

After waiting some time for Nate to get back something started to happen, some stuff started moving and once I hear Nate shout. "Something's happening!" I shout up to him.

"Nate did you do that?" I stood up to have a look what's moving. "Things just started moving down here." I had no idea what is going on but

I lean against the stone railing and watched as everything stopped I'm glad Nate is ok. I wish I had gone with him.

After a little more waiting, I'm getting bored by the minute, Elena had came back also obviously getting bored from the waiting and sat next to me. As we wait we both hear a voice shout down to us "Hey, I made it!"

It's obviously Nate, we both quickly get up to see Nate waving down to us, I shout back up to him with a worried voice. "Hey, be careful! That thing doesn't look very safe-NATE!"

Suddenly Nate looks like he loses him balance and falls off the edge, I held my breath as he falls but thankfully he grabs onto a wooden platform and laughs a bit and shouts back. "It's alright!, I'm okay!" Once this happened I want to go up and push him off myself but I am thankful he's ok.

Once Nate got back me and Elena jumps off the edge, well I jumped off with some help from Elena and we both walk over to where Nate is, Elena walks past, going up to the large, barred door but I walk up to Nate who had a smirk on his face but it was replaced with a look of pain once I punched him, hard in the arm.

"What was that for!?" he cried and looks down to me with a frown and I do the same up to him before replying. "That's for making me worry." and once I said this I was pulled into a tight embrace, I felt a small kiss to my forehead as Nate apologizes.

I pull away and walk up to where Elena is, I got halfway up the stairs before turning around to see Nate still standing there. "Of you go, go find a way to open the door." I laugh and walk up to the door, I would have done it myself but I don't want to be shouted at for it from Elena so it's better to send Nate.

It didn't take long for Nate to open the door but he properly didn't know what he was doing, once we both reached him, I laugh slightly and carry on walking over the wooden bridge.

"What are you laughing at?" Nate asks with another frown, I just turn with a large smile and quickly reply. "You have no idea what you are going, have you?"

I hear Nate huff and walks past me and says. "Of course, I do." I roll my eyes and laugh this proves he doesn't. We carried on walking over the wooden platform then suddenly we see an explosion from above us and guess who is it...it's Eddy.

"Hey, bule! Last man alive gets the gold! You loss." Eddy shouts and laughs before walking off, leaving his guys to try and kill us which isn't going to happen. We all pull out our guns. Elena and I aim our pistols and starts firing as we both ran to cover whilst Nate stays where he was standing and starts shouting the man above.

I run up the stairs to only be tackled to the floor by one of the men, but before he could do anything, I head-butted him in the nose, making it crack, grabbing my pistol and smacked him in the head with the grip which knocked him off of me. It obviously didn't kill him so I aimed my gun at his head and pulled the trigger, firing a bullet in between his eyes.

Before running back up the stairs to kill them men on this floor, with the help of Nate. Once all the men were dead, we all walk to where the man with the rocket launcher was and Nate looks up and announces. "I think there's some kind of ladder mechanism up there."

I look around until I see a way in, I look over to Nate and Elena, to see them both trying to figure out how to get the ladder down. I smirk before I run to where a dead man lied and I jump over landing on my feet perfectly. I walk into the building as I hear Nate and Elena telling me to come back. I keep my gun out just in case some men started firing at me and that didn't take long as a man with a rocket launcher shot at me but before he had the chance to blow me up I was pulled out of the way and pinned against the wall by a familiar body.

It's Nate. Before I could say anything to him, his lips were on mine but the kiss didn't last long, it lasted second. "Don't do that again!" he hisses before running out and killing the man and we both ran up the steps so we could lower the ladder to allow Elena up. Once Elena was up we noticed it lowered another ladder so we climbed up that ladder, only be greeted by more bullets and explosions.

---------------------------------------

After killing all the men and running up a load of stairs we finally arrive at somewhere we didn't want to be. We look around the large room to see nothing, the only things here are some broken parts of the pillars which created the arches.

"There nothing here," Elena complains, for only Nate to start complaining. "This is getting so old." I watch as he turns around and walks towards something we didn't notice on the floor.

"Nate...?" I ask, following slowly behind him, I look over his shoulder to see a corpse, I watch as Nate touches the symbol on the armor around the corpses neck and announces, someone I never expected it to be.

"It's Drake."
