I've almost finished my story 'Maybe' and I've been working on this for a while. It's the sequel to my story 'Treasure Hunters, Williams and Fallon' I hope you like it because I'm really looking forward to writing this! :D
Anyway here's the first chapter, I hope you enjoy it! XD
'In 1954, a great archaeologist named Jared M. West set out on an expedition in the search of a lost city; only to disappear three months later. Many legends have surfaced over the decades as to what happened to West and his team but to this day no theories have been proven.'
12 Years Earlier…
Natara:" And you're sure that this mysterious city exists? But it's just a myth everyone knows that!"
Shawn:" Jared M. West was a great archaeologist in his field at the time Nat; I know he wouldn't have wasted his life chasing a myth!"
Natara sighs deeply while closing her notebook and placing it on the desk in front of her as she glances back at Shawn.
Natara:" But there is no solid evidence to prove West's theory!"
Shawn:" Maybe that's what the history books say; but according to my findings West kept a log of all his research during the time leading up to his expedition! I just have to find it!"
Natara sighs once again as she rises to her feet and walks towards the bookcase stood near the desk. As she pulled history books from the shelves; she looked back at Shawn quietly observing him as he read eagerly through his notes once more.
Natara:" You know that this idea of yours is crazy right?"
Shawn scoffed as he stood and walked towards her, grabbing a book from the shelf above her head.
Shawn:" It's just as crazy as your theory that Malachi Charles Fallon has any living descendants."
Natara:" There is nothing in those history books that gives me the impression that he never had children! For all you know his descendants could be walking the earth right now!"
Shawn:" I highly doubt that!"
Natara:" Well believe what you want, but I have a feeling that they're out there somewhere I just have a feeling in my-"
Shawn:" Please do not say in your gut! Because I prefer to trust my brain for that kind of thing! In my opinion; if the facts don't support it, it doesn't exist!"
Present Day…
Mal:" Natara? Natara!"
Natara:" Hmmm?"
Natara snaps out of her daydream as she turned back to face Mal.
Mal:" I said are you okay?"
Natara:" Oh yes I'm fine."
Kai:" Hey lovebirds, just a heads up that we will be landing in two hours!"
Mal:" Thanks Kai."
Mal quickly turned back to face Natara as she picked up a discarded history book and quickly scanned through the pages.
Mal:" Okay, so how far away are we from this temple."
Natara:" Well according to the map's coordinates, it places the temple in the northwest of the Atlantic ocean."
Mal:" Alright so once we land we just have to-"
At that moment Mal is cut off as the plane shakes furiously, as Natara glances at Mal deep panic sets into her face. The plane continues to shake viciously as Mal tries to steady himself in his seat, he felt the gravity shift around him throwing both him and Natara around the plane.
Mal:" Kai what the hell happened?!"
Kai:" Just experiencing some technical difficulties!"
Natara clutched to her seat for dear life as Mal made his way over to her. While Kai gripped the controls tightly as the plane continued to swirl out of control.
Kai:" Come on baby don't let me down now!"
The plane continued rocking furiously when all of a sudden, Mal felt himself falling vertically as the plane fell from the sky. He held on tightly to Natara's hand, determined not to let go. After glancing into Natara's eyes one more time, he heard a deafening crash as the plane plummeted to the ground, leaving Mal in the dark.
As Mal's consciousness slowly flooded back, he opened his eyes to see tall trees gently swaying in the breeze above him. Hearing his deep echoed breathes as he panted, he slowly pulled himself to his feet as he looked around at his strange unknown surroundings. The smell of burning fuel and metal caused him to screw up his nose as it filled his nostrils. Narrowing his eyes into the distance, he quickly located the site of the wreckage from the thick black clouds of smoke that slowly floated up into the air. Without a second thought Mal sprinted through the dense jungle trees and bushes towards the wreckage, frantically searching for Natara and Kai.
After finding his way to the beach, Mal ran towards the plane wreckage. As he slowly approached he heard tapping and heavy coughing sounds.
Mal:" Nat!"
Natara:" Mal I'm here!"
Mal was quick to spring to life as he pulled what parts of the wreckage he could apart, to find Natara under the debris. He carefully pulled her out, trying to avoid causing her any more injures as he gently placed her on the ground holding her close.
Mal:" Oh Thank god you're okay!"
Natara:" *Koff Koff* what the hell happened?"
Mal:" I'm not sure, where's Kai?"
Natara:" I don't know."
After salvaging whatever aid and tools they could from the plane wreckage, Mal and Natara sat tending to their wounds. Natara winced in pain as Mal finished stitching up a deep cut on her shoulder.
Mal:" Sorry almost done."
As Mal finishes, he glances at his wife and smiles sadly. Natara stands to her feet and looks around at the landscape behind them. As she narrows her eyes, her face floods with realization.
Natara:" I know this place."
Mal:" You do? Then I suppose you can tell us where the hell we are!"
Natara:" Actually I have no idea."
Mal:" What?"
Natara:" I mean, this place looks familiar but I've only ever seen it in history books. I never knew the place actually existed."
Mal stands to his feet and joins Natara as she continues to observe their crash site.
Mal:" Well before we do anything, we need to find Kai! I hope to god that little weirdo is still alive!"
Natara laughs in spite of herself as she turns back to face Mal.
Natara:" I'm sure Kai is okay, I know you hate to admit it but that 'little weirdo' is smarter than the two of us combined."
I hope you like how I've kicked off this sequel! Please review! Jade xx
