I'm Back
Elena's POV
What happened? Had he lost his memory? He was shot in the abdomen, not the head. Oh…oh…shit, he hit his head in the fall. Dammit!
"Okay, okay, I'm going to try to explain what happened. You've lost your memory, you were in a gunfight, and a man was about to shoot me, but you jumped in the way and saved me, however, you got hit by the bullet. When you tried to get back up, you hit your head falling down."
"Yeah, sure, but, why are we getting into gunfights?"
"We are on the search for El Dorado." I stated calmly.
"Hahahaha, nice one, a treasure hunt, I'm sure that's true."
"Dammit, this is going to be harder than I thought," I mumbled to myself, "Okay, you'll see what I mean soon enough, anyways, your name is Nathan Drake, Nate for short. My name is Elena Fisher. And don't worry, this'll all work out," I said reassuringly.
Then I heard shouting in the distance. "We've got company." I tossed Drake a gun, "Do you know how to use one of these?" I said wryly, big déjà vu time.
"Yeah…umm…sure I do." He replied in a way that didn't instill any confidence.
The men began to run into the jungle, there were around five of them. I ducked behind a tree, dragging Drake with me. I grabbed the AK-47 from Drake's back and peeked around the corner and gunned down one of the men, and ducked back behind the tree.
Drake began to fire his pistol with surprising accuracy; maybe he still had all the muscle memory. BOOM! I turned around and saw that Drake had thrown a grenade, nailing two guys. Okay, he definitely still had all the muscle memory.
I fired another shot at a guy, then the AK ran out of ammo, and the guy now had a shot one me from his angle. I quickly rolled forward to a different tree, reached into my pocket, pulled out a pistol, and fired out of reflex. The man went down. That should be all of them.
"I think that's all of them Drake, but be careful." I saw Drake peeking out from behind the tree, making sure it was all clear. When we had decided it was all clear, we walked back to our campsite.
"So, umm, nice shooting Mr. Drake. I thought you would've forgotten all of that."
"I was surprised as well, it was like I was firing out of instinct or something. By the way, who's…Sully?"
I gasped and said, "Umm, that's your friend that you work with, but, he died, was killed by other treasure hunters. I'm sorry."
"Oh. Well, that's just great."
Maybe he was beginning to remember things. Maybe I should try to speed it along a bit.
Drake POV
That was weird, I just randomly remembered Sully, I now remembered an entire large portion of what'd I'd been doing. Elena walked over to me with something in her hands.
"Check this out," she said holding up her camera, "Watch it."
I watched the entirety of what she had recorded, and memories began to flood back. Who she was, who I was, where I was. Boomerang, it's all coming back to me. I looked up at Elena, and smirked, "I'm back."
Elena let out a huge sigh of relief, and then looked exhausted. I realized she must not have slept all night, she had been running on adrenaline.
"Okay, lie down Elena; you need to get some rest." She lay down on the ground, and promptly fell asleep. I watched her sleeping form, I never noticed it before, but she was really good-looking. I hope she'll be okay.
I looked back on the past day, and began to think, why had I thrown myself in the way of the bullet? What did I feel for Elena? Well, I had a lot of time to think about these questions while waiting for her to wake.
