Just for the record, I do not own any of these characters. They are all owned by the wonderful minds at Naughty Dogs and I love them all for creating these amazing characters.
Chapter Two – Thanks
The cool ocean breeze flew through the clear night sky. After their recent adventure through the Panama jungles, this night seemed just wonderful. Feeling restless, Elena got up on her two feet to see what everyone else was doing. Getting up was the challenge since Elena had been on them for more days than she could count. The days seemed to mend all together while trying to find the lost treasure of El Dorado. Sure enough, she got on her feet moving towards the other side of the boat. While walking around the ship, she noticed that her companion was looking straight at the sky.
"Penny for your thoughts?" Elena asked getting rid of Nathan's train of thought. Nate looked over to see Elena looking down at him and smiled.
"Just looking at some stars want to join?" Nathan responded signaling her to sit next to him. Elena smiled and sat down next to him.
"I didn't know you read stars?" Elena laughed as she looked up looking at the different constellations. Nate moved his hand to the back of his head.
"Well, I'm still learning. Sully's the one who taught me but finding different stars is difficult when all of them look the same." Nate shrugged but then continued to look up at the sky. Elena giggled at Nate's response.
"So the big treasure hunter still has a few things to learn huh?" Elena stated looking at the treasure hunter. Nathan looked down at her with a sarcastic look on his face.
"Well look who is talking Ms. reporter who wouldn't stay put in one place." Elena knew what he was referring to. She shook her head and crossed her arms.
"Well if it weren't for me, you would still be trapped by Raja and that wouldn't have turned out pretty." Elena pointed out what happened on the island in the monastery. Nathan laughed a little at the response she stated.
"Yeah right! I would have totally gotten out of there scotch free. I've been through worse situations." Nathan exclaimed as he moved his head to look at the sky again.
"Whatever Nate, you keep telling yourself that." Elena yawned as she rolled her eyes. Her vision started to get a little bit hazy due to the lack of sleep that she had gotten. Without thinking, Elena put her head on Nate's shoulder. Not expecting the action that she performed, Nate looked over and noticed that Elena was close to falling asleep. He smiled and pulled his arm around her to protect her from the crisp air still dancing around. For being such a feisty girl, Nate never noticed how small she fit into his arms. "Nate…?" Elena responded no more than a whisper. Nate started to feel his eyes getting heavier.
"I'm here." Nate muttered still holding Elena in his arm. Elena slowly started to close her eyes.
"Thanks for saving me…from Navarro" Elena couldn't see his face but Nate was smiling. Before Nate could respond, Elena was fast asleep on his shoulder. Nate moved his head to plant a kiss on the top of her head.
"Anything for you…" Nate whispered drifting off to sleep.
