A Beginning Of Any Great Matter-Nathan Drake x OC

Chapter 18

I couldn't help but look at the corpse with shock, I couldn't believe it's Drake. "He never found it. He just...died here" Nate says just before he pulled the ring off of his neck, Elena kneels just a few centimeters away from Nate, whilst I stayed behind him now with my hand on his shoulder.

I watch as he stares at the ring, I know this is going to have an effect on him. "So much for 'greatness'." He says look back at Drake "Wasted his life...for nothing." He drops the ring onto Drake. Elena and I stand up as we could hear some noises seems to be Eddy's men but I can't be certain.

"Nate, are you ready to move?" Elena asks as she looks over her shoulder as more noises can be heard. "Yeah...more than ever" Nate replies as he moves away from Drake.

"There's gotta be a way outta here,"Elena states as we look around, trying to find a way out, there are a few large holes in the floor but it seems that they won't get us out of here. We look for a few more minutes until I hear Nate say. "It looks like there's some kind of machinery up there."

I look up to see there is some kind of machinery up there but how are we going to get up there, there is no way we could climb up there but then I turn to see a ladder. "Hey, there's a ladder. Here I can reach it if you give me a boost" I say, I turn to see Nate and Elena walking over, Nate moves in front of me and crouches down. "All right, climb on." As I was about to climb on Elena stops me and climbs on herself. Nate slowly rises with Elena on his shoulders. "Oh, you're heavier than you look." Nate states as Elena jumps towards the ladder, I couldn't believe he said that.

I watch as Elena climbs up the ladder with a bit of struggle first but she didn't speed up, she stayed at a slow pace properly just in case the old, rusty ladder broke. "Looks like an old hoist or something!" Elena shouts down to us as she slowly moves up the ladder. "There's a rope - I'll try and lower it down to you both! Oh, I see a tunnel - we can get out this way!" Elena shouts again but now up the top of the ladder, now walking towards the rope.

Suddenly there is an explosion behind us, Nate and I turn around to see Eddy and one of his guys walking backwards towards us. We both grab our pistols and aims our guns at the two men. Nate's is on Eddy whilst mine is on the other guy.

"Hello, boys," Nate says causing both of the boys to turn around and aim their guns at us with fright. "Easy, Eddy. Easy." jut as the same noise as early come into hearing but a little louder and I now know it isn't Eddy's men but whatever it is it isn't normal.

"What the hell is going on out there?" We all lowered our guns as we look behind the two men, Eddy turns around and asks. Didn't you see them?"

"Oh no...Oh god...Oh no" The man who I was aiming my gun at started chanting. "We're trapped!" Eddy panics, more weird noises can be heard, I started to panic too as these are not normal at ALL!

"Jesus, what is it?" Nate asks Eddy only for him to be shouted a reply. "We're dead!"

"Aaaaaggh!!" we all aimed our guns towards the men screaming to only see this monster dragging him down one of the large holes. Eddy started running where the man was pulled down and started firing. Nate and I look at the large holes to see more of those monsters coming up. "Oh crap," Nate says as we all went back to back aiming our guns at these monsters who are still coming up through the hole. "Drake, if we don't make it out of here, I just want you to know - I hate your guts" Eddy says to Nate. "Yeah, likewise pal. Now let's do this."

And we all separated going to different parts of the room, firing at these guys. I tried my hardest the aim at the head so it would be easier for them to be killed. "What the hell is going on down there?!" I hear Elena shout over the gunfire.

"Just get that rope down here and fast!" I shout as I kill one of the monsters. As we try and kill the others I hear Elena shout about the machinery being rusted. "Elena?" Nate shouts as we carry on shooting and killing these monsters.
