One Last Time [Nathan Drake X Reader]

Chapter 12

(Y/N) sits. Silent and alone.

The bottom of her top was completely stained with the crimson red of her blood. Around her nose it had all dried up. Jax had kept her in the cabin until he had finished discussing plans with Will.

So she waits. Patiently. Her eyes closed and trying to keep her breathing steady. Until a sudden realisation hits her, making her open her eyes wide and stand abruptly.

Her phone. He didn't take her phone.

Pulling it out of her pocket, she immediately scrolls through the contacts and clicks on one, listening to the dull ring.

"Hey, princess."

"Sam, you need to get here now."

"Holy shit, did you find it? Hey, Victor!" Sam yells and she shakes her head. "No, no, Sam! Shut up, you need to get here as fast as you can. Tell Sully to get the seaplane and hurry."

"You know how long it'll take to get there right?"

"Which is why you need to stop talking to me and get your asses moving." (Y/N) replies.

"Alright, Alright, we're moving. What's going on?" Sam asks and she could hear him running about.

"He's got them. Jax has got Cassie and Nate." She breathes and there's silence.

"That asshole has my brother and niece?" He repeats. "I'll kill that son-of a-bitch." Sam mumbles and (Y/N) sighs, a hand gripping her hair.

"Me too, now hurry." She instructs.

"We're on our way, kid. Stay -" Sully was yelling down the phone until it gets grabbed off of her.

Jax stands there, fuming. He puts the phone down on the floor, crushing it under his foot.

"Jax, wait, please." (Y/N) pleads, placing her hands on his chest. Angrily, he grabs her wrists, dragging her out of the cabin and towards a room, which he throws her in.

"You can't do this! I'm supposed to be looking after my family!" She screams.

"Who did you call, huh? That old man?" Jax asks, his eyes burning with hate.

"No, of course I didn't. He can't handle this anymore."

"Who did you call, (Y/N)?" He yells, slamming his fist into the wall beside her.

(Y/N) wraps her arms around herself in a sort of protection. This is something she had seen from him before. "I promise, I didn't - I didn't phone anyone like that."

Jax doesn't believe her, but he pulls away, unhooking the radio off his belt.

"We've got a situation. I want all men on the lookout for anyone trying to get to the Drakes'." He orders down it.

Walking out of the room, he locks the door behind him and (Y/N) falls down the wall. Her hands scrunch up the bottom of her shirt, sobbing her heart out.

—

Hours and hours past.

(Y/N)'s head leans against the wall, her eyes dry and red from crying. The bottom of her shirt creased, but that didn't matter, because everything else was dirt and blood ridden.

She had been beaten. Both physically and mentally.

Gunshots sound from outside but to her, the whole world was numb.

Jax could take her, she didn't care. All she cared about was if there was any chance her family could survive this.

This was all her fault.

She had bought Jax into their lives that day years ago. She had thought she could kick him back out.

But, oh, how she was wrong.

The door handle turns and a light chuckle escapes her lips. "Back for more?" She croaks out, not even bothering to check.

"Princess, what have they done to you?" Sam breathes out, kneeling in front of his sister-in-law.

"God, kid, they really worked you over." Sully adds from the door.

(Y/N) opens her eyes wider, Sam's hands go to her cheeks. "Hey, we're here now." He whispers and she nods.

"Come on." He loops an arm around her waist and hauls her up.

"We've got Elena to find the boat that Nate and Cassie are on." Sully informs her.

"Elena? You can't bring her -"

"She's not. She's staying at a hotel in Seville, she's far away from this." Sam says.

Sully gently takes (Y/N) from him, passing him over the gun.

Sam takes the lead, taking down any of the agents who come near them. Sully and (Y/N) hobbling along behind.

The three make their way off the boat and Sully lets (Y/N) sit down, looking up at the two. "Now what do we do?" She asks.

"We go get Nate and Cassie back."

"And we find Atlantis."
