The Amulet of Sight 3

Sully looked at the amulet in his hands for a brief moment before placing it around his neck. Salim had realised by this point, that using the amulet was something that Victor had to do, and instead of trying to stop him, closed of the tent that they were separated from the rest of his camp.

"I will warn you to be careful again my friend. No one has used or even seen this amulet in over 1000 years."

Sully nodded vaguely before turning all his attention to Nathan. Placing a hand in his shoulder and waiting for something to happen. Just as he was beginning to think the whole thing was just a myth, there was a flash of brilliant, blinding white and then he was floating above the square in Yemen, watching himself, Nate and Elena as they left the room with the well in it and walked through the square. Knowing what was about to happen, Sully looked around for the shooter, and spotted Talbot on a rooftop taking aim at Nate.

The drugged dart seemed to move in slow motion towards his friend, and Victor could only watch as it found its mark in Nate's neck. The younger man's whole body tensing with the impact and his hand flying up to meet the dart and yank it out. But by that point it was too late and the drug was already in his system. As his past self, Elena and Nate all tried to deal with the effects of the drug, Future Sully found himself glaring at Talbot, who was still on the rooftop and obviously enjoying bearing witness to the scene unfolding below him.

"I don't know what the rules of this amulet are but if I could punch you right now I would" Sully muttered. He turns back to face Nate in time to see him swipe at Elena, who jumped back out of reach in time to avoid getting hit, before darting down a side alley and through a gate, Sully's voice calling after him. Following him seems to be easy. Maybe it's because it's Drake's memories that he's remembering but he finds himself floating after Nate without really trying.

He remembered what he and Elena had done at this point. He had tried to barrel down the alley after Nate, only for Elena to stop him, her small hand gripping his arm.

"Wait Sully, wait! There are some police just there, we're going to have to go around" she'd tugged on his arm before jogging off down a different alley. Not even waiting for her to explain Sully had followed. They had avoided the police and looked for Nate for nearly two hours but had found nothing. Elena had eventually taken Sully back to her apartment, half hoping that the drug would have worn off and that a dishevelled and apologetic Nathan Drake would be waiting on her doorstep. He wasn't.

Unable to stay at the apartment and wait, Sully had gone back out to look for Nathan again, only to get captured by Marlowe's men. Elena stayed at the apartment and was left entirely alone. Thinking of the short, spirited woman Sully wondered if she knew what had happened to them both or if she was completely clueless and all alone.

Deciding not to dwell on what had happened to him he focused his eyes back onto his young charge. Nate was trying to run, stumbling down alleys and very nearly knocking people over. Whatever the drug was it must be making him hallucinate, just like what happened to Charlie in Syria.

Despite knowing that Nathan wouldn't be able to see him and that all that was happening in front of him was in the past, Sully found himself drifting closer to Nate, trying to comfort the younger man even though there was no possible way for Nathan to hear him. When he got within arm's reach he discovered that even though Nate couldn't hear him he could hear Nate.

"No,no,no,no,no"

"Sully?"

"Don't let, don't let them"

It seemed like he was talking to himself, or at least to someone that Sully couldn't hear, must be an effect of the drug. Victor sighed and ran a hand through his grey hair. He knew something like this was going to happen he just knew it! Nate was always a trouble magnet, even when he was younger. He remembered one time, back when Nate was a teenager, the two of them had been having a race across some rooftops.

"Face it Sully, you're too old to keep up with me!" Sully had turned to glare at his protégé, "Youth is entirely different to experience kid" he'd replied, "I've had time to perfect my climbing skills, you haven't, short stuff". Nate had huffed at that before they both took off, vaulting over chimneys and leaping from rooftop to rooftop. That hadn't even been at it that long before Nate had stepped on a loose tile and skidded down the side of the roof, hands frantically grabbing at anything, he was visible for all of five seconds before he fell out of sight. Sully stopped running forwards and quickly but cautiously made his way over to the edge where Nate had fallen.

Peering over the roof he could see Nate hanging off of a window ledge two stories down. The kid was lucky he'd give him that, making his way over to the fire escape, Sully called down to Nate, "Hey Kid you alright?" "Fine" came the terse response. Great, he'd probably hurt himself or something, with a sigh Victor made his way over. Reaching the window across from Nate and grabbing him by the collar just as the windowsill the youngster was on collapsed. Between the two of them they quickly managed to get back to the fire escape and descend the ladder to the ground.

Victor caught sight of movement in his peripherals and saw Talbot running along the rooftops following Nate. His stomach clenched uncomfortably, Talbot was not going to get Nate! When he'd be captured by the agent, he'd been told that Nathan was dead. Despite knowing that he wasn't, the thought of that man being near a vulnerable Drake left a horrible taste in his mouth.

He was still looking at Talbot when Drake stumbled, it was the smile on Talbot's face that made him turn back to look at Nate, who was now on his knees with his hands clasped tightly over his ears. Sully's world starting to burn a harsh white and that was when he realised that he would only see what Nathan remembered, and it seemed Nate was losing his hold on consciousness.

Sully realised at this point that he didn't know what would happen to him if Nate lost consciousness.
