Sean's POV

"Ow…oh god that hurts." I mumbled as I pushed my face off the ground, dusting it free of the…sand? I shook my head, looking around.

"Whoa!" I cried, coming face to face with one of those fish with the huge teeth. I settled down as I realised it was dead, pushing myself into a kneeling position and looking around some more. I was on a beach, puddles dotted around. Water! I cupped my hands and lifted some of it up to my mouth, only to spit it back out as an awful strong salt flavour washed into my mouth. Turning my head to spit, I noticed the tattered remains of the sail that had dragged me hear. I grimaced, I hope the others were ok.

Wait…others…ELLIE! Where was she? I sprang up, looking frantically around for her. I was alone on the beach, not even a set of footprints. I dashed off, slipping through a crevice in the wall and careering through the tunnels, screaming her name at the top of my lungs.

"ELLIE! ELLIE WHERE ARE YOU!" I cried, searching everywhere I could for her. After nearly an hour I felt like giving up, collapsing onto the ground in a hopeless heap. I cried helplessly for Ellie, never getting the chance to tell her I loved her. An echoed tweeting sound interrupted my grieving. I looked up to see a familiar looking luminescent bird hovering near me. I sniffed loudly.

"Hey little guy." I mumbled. The bird tweeted again, flicking its small head in the direction of another slim tunnel. I heaved myself into a standing position, following the small bird. "I don't know what you're trying to do, there's not much that can make this…better…" I trailed off as I stopped in front a familiar shape, curled near a small shower of water as it washed a long cut in its arm. I just stood there, waiting for her to notice me. She must have felt something because she turned to look at me, her eyes widening.

"Sean?" she whispered. I nodded. Slowly she stood up, her task of washing her arm forgotten as she slowly walked towards me. I moved as well, encircling my arms around her waist as she stepped into my embrace. "I was scared you had died. I thought I was never going to see you agai-" I leaned down and captured her lips in a searing kiss. I never thought something like this could feel so good. I pulled her closer, emotions exploding everywhere within my heart and stomach. She responded immediately, her arms wrapping around my neck and pulling us closer together. I don't know how much time we spent just kissing but soon we pulled away from each other.

"What was that for?" Ellie asked with a small grin. I smiled down at her, my forehead leaning on hers.

"To keep me sane enough to get you out of here so we can go on a proper date." I said truthfully. A grin broke out onto my angels face. I smiled back, taking her hand and leading her back over to the small water fall. I took a quick drink before finishing the job on her arm. Realising I had no bandages I ripped off one of my sleeves and wrapped it around her arm.

"Really Sean, you don't have to." Ellie tried to say but I could tell she already appreciated having her wound covered. Once we were done I took her hand and followed the bird back out of the tunnel.

"Come, the river's north so we follow south." he mumbled. I stopped.

"Shouldn't we go north then?" she asked. I smiled, wrapping an arm around her waist.

"The polarity is reversed. My uncle told me while you were unconscious." I explained as we started on our journey. For a few hours we just walked, sometimes talking about what we were goanna be doing once we got home. I decided to be truthful and told her I wanted to take her out on a date. I wasn't goanna drop the 'I love you' bomb until at least one date.

Eventually we came to an open area of flat ground. Well, when I say open I mean a wide stretch between our entrance and the exit of the cave. I gave Ellie a smile, glad to be close to being out of this maze. I took a few steps out, feeling Ellie hesitate beside me.

"Sean, something doesn't feel right." I just chuckled, trying to act cool.

"Don't worry, it's fi-" I couldn't finish my sentence, tripping over a loose rock. I landed flat on my front, grimacing as Ellie giggled. As I was pushing myself up I noticed my pocket knife floating in mid air.

"Sean…what's going on?" Ellie asked, coming to stand beside me. I just stared at th knife, then at my compass. The needle was pointing all over the place.

"I get it." I mumbled before turning to her. "A magnetic field." Ellie nodded in understanding. "You ready?" I asked, taking her hand in mine.

She nodded determinedly and we dashed forwards. Rumbles groaned out under our feet as we sprinted. Was it just me or were the rocks moving under our feet? My assumption was proven correct as Ellie's foot landed on a loose rock, sending it down instead of kicking it away. We stared at each other.

"Magnetic rocks?" she asked and I shrugged. I grabbed Ellie's hand with my own again, noting that it was signifiguntly more clammy then before, yet I didn't pull away. Ellie's hand was pulsating with heat, making my hand ever clammier. I was shivering, but I was hot. I looked at her and smiled lightly.

"Let's just get this over with shall we?" I squeezed my hand reassuringly, "Just follow my lead." she nodded, hoping nothing would go wrong.

Once we reached the edge of the cliff, I let go of Ellie's hand and an empty, pathetic feeling filled my heart. I looked at the rocks that were in front of us. I sucked in a deep breath, took one step back and jumped to the first floating rock. I felt my heart race, like it was going to come out of my chest. I sighed once my legs stopped shaking and looked back at Ellie.

"Okay, once I jump to the next rock; you jump to the one I'm standing on okay?" I instructed. She looked like she wanted to nod, but it looked like she was having a fit. I was worried, but jumped to the next rock. Just like the first rock, I was shaky at first, but slowly regained my control.

It was my her now.

I watched he walk backwards a good three or four steps, close her eyes, then started running forwards and took a leap of faith. She wasn't as graceful as I was; she landed on her hands and knees making the rock lurch forward and crash into mine.

"Shit!" she screamed as my rock moved farther away from her. I was gripping the rock with my hands so tightly my knuckles were turning white. Once I was steady I looked up to see Ellie's rock slowly starting to turn upside down. I lost all rational thought at seeing the girl I love in danger.

"Hold on tight!" I cried. All I could do was watch as she did what I said. I watched as he rock slowly started to flip upside down. It didn't look good for a good minute.

"Sean! I can't hold on anymore!" she screamed. I just wanted to be in her place, just so she could be safe.

"Move your body forward! The momentum will help the rock flip over!" I ordered. I watched as she slowly tilted her body forwards, when she was finally right side up again, she was only half way across. How was she going to get across?

"Sean! What do I do?" she cried. I said the first thing that registered in my mind.

"Paddle?" she gave me her famous 'Are you kidding me?' look.

That was actually the smartest idea I had. She started "paddling" the air with her hands. Soon she reached my side, collapsing in my arms as I pulled her to safety.

"I need to rest for a bit." she panted.

"Why?" I asked dumbly.

"My arms feel like lead are about ready to give out you dunce!" she snapped.

I chuckled lightly. "Ah." just then the bird, or Tweeters, flittered past, giving us a 'come on' look. "You try doing that without wings!" I snapped up at him. Ellie laughed, leaning against my chest as Tweeters looked as sheepish as a bird could.

There it is. I think this is the furthest a Journey To The Centre Of The Earth Fanfiction has gotten. I dare anyone to out do me.
