Loving a Drake

Almost There

~Bryllee's POV current time~

We got ourselves back on track after the little incident from back by that mud slide. Sam's bandages were still intact and so was his cocky childish personality. Sully was now complaining about old man pain and all of us made sure to point it out.

"I'm gettin to old for this," Sully said, stopping at the side for the fifth time in an hour.

"But your doing great, Victor," Sam said, nudging Sully. "Looking great too."

"Oh please, you're so flattering," Sully responded and slapped Sam's shoulders.

"You two act like siblings just as much as you do with Nate," I chuckled as they both gave me a look of agreement.

"That's just because we're all family Cras- I mean Bryllee," Sam said winking.

"Yea don't call me Crasher."

"You know I really wish I would've not listened to you Sully and grabbed a map because from here, we really are gonna be lost," Nate said, stopping and looking around.

"Goddamnit. So that puts us how far back now?" I asked as Nate handed me my phone and continued to look around

"No sure, but if we just continue to go that way, then we should be able to find the cavern," Nate said pointing up towards a cliff. Great! More climbing, because we don't do enough of it.

"What about Arcticneer? Are they gonna get there first and steal the treasure before Bryllee can use it to keep her business open?" Elena asked following behind Nate as he already started to look for easy hand holds.

"I forgot all about my business," I chuckled and stopped when I got to thinking about it. That's my way of survival, tat where I get my money from, if I lost it, what would I do?

"Relax, kid. We'll get there before they do, we just gotta follow Nate," Sully said and pointed to Nate, who was half way up the cliff.

"Oh yea," we all said and began to follow Nate up the cliff.

As I got closer to Elena I whispered, "Let's see how long it takes one of them to break a ledge and almost fall to their death."

She chuckled and we both looked up at the Drakes. And like I predicted, as Nathan reached for a ledge right next to him, we all heard a crack, followed by a "crap."

"Jesus, Nate. I'm just gonna start calling you Nathan Break," I called up t the struggling Drake.

"Ha ha, very funny. You won't be laughing long when you crash and burn, Crasher," Nate called back.

"Bryllee's joke as better, Nate," Sam called to Nate.

"You're only saying that because you kissed her, once," Nate replied.

"Twice actually," Sully called from somewhere bellow me. I felt my cheeks go hot and Elena chuckle from beside me, so I quickly began to climb up and to the left.

"Lets just focus on not falling off, not how many times Sam did something," I called.

"Nathan, there's a beam here we can use our ropes to swing from to the ledge over there," Elena said pointing to what looked like an old flag post.

"That definitely doesn't look natural, that's a good sign right?" I asked climbing closer to the beam and getting my rope from my side.

"That, kid, is a very good sign," Sully said from behind me.

"Fantastic."

"Ladies first," Sam said.

"Are you sure you don't want to test it out to see if it's stable?" I asked. he shook his head.
