The Golden Bridge

Chapter 5: Searching for Abby

Nova was still holding on to Shadow flying. Shadow's arm was hurting really bad. "Are we almost there Nova?" Shadow asked. Nova nodded.

"Yes," She replied. Shadow nodded. After a couple of minutes they made it to some humongous kingdom on top of a huge hill. A small town was at the bottom of the hill. Nova landed at the big front door of the kingdom and let go of Shadow. "We are here now," Nova said. Shadow nodded. Nova then knocked on the big door.

"Are you a princess Nova?" Shadow asked. Nova nodded.

"Yes I am," She replied.

"How old are you?" Shadow asked with curiosity in his voice. Nova looked at him and smiled a little.

"I'm twelve," Nova replied. "How old are you?" Nova asked.

"Nine," Shadow replied then suddenly a fat rabbit with butterfly wings opened the door. He wore a red shirt, red pants, and red shoes.

"Princess Nova! We were so worried about you! Your parents want you. They are very angry with you for leaving," The fat rabbit said.

"Thank you Larry. I did it for Shadow and Amy," Nova said then looked at Shadow. "Your friend must be upstairs if you wish to see her," Nova told Shadow then walked into the kingdom. Larry stared at Shadow for a very long time.

"Come in then," He said suddenly then Shadow quickly ran into the kingdom and ran up some stairs. He then ran up to a door and knocked on it quickly.

"…come in," Amy said from the other side. Shadow pushed the door open slowly and peeked inside. He saw Amy sitting on a big white bed wearing a long pink dress with all kinds of designs on it. He walked over to her slowly and then stood in front of her. "What do you want?" Amy asked.

"I'm sorry Amy…I…I didn't mean to push you," Shadow said sadly and sat next to her. Amy didn't say anything she just sat there. "I hope you'll forgive me," Shadow said quietly. Amy slowly looked at him then smiled a little.

"I forgive you Shadow," Amy said then they hugged. Suddenly Nova opened the door and walked into the room with a worried look on her face. Shadow and Amy looked at her.

"…I was looking in my searching orb and saw a small hedgehog being taken to The Dark Master's kingdom," Nova said. "I think her name's Abby," Nova said thoughtfully. Shadow's eyes widened and he stood up quickly.

"Abby's my sister! We have to save her!" Shadow exclaimed and was about to run past Nova but Nova grabbed his wrist.

"There are too many demons Shadow," Nova told him.

"I don't care! She's my little sister!" Shadow shouted and tried to get away but failed.

"If you are going then let me tell you this. Trust no one, be back before night, watch out for the trees and the demons. The demons' hearing is like a dog's," Nova warned him. Shadow nodded.

"Come on Amy!" Shadow exclaimed and then him and Amy ran out of the room then out of the kingdom.

The demon was carrying Abby still. He walked and walked until he reached a tree. He tied her to the tree and put rope around her mouth so she wouldn't scream. He then started a fire and started roasting some rabbit. Abby was crying really hard. The demon looked at her and laughed evilly. "Be quiet young one. The Dark Master would love to eat you," The demon said and laughed evilly. Abby shook her head back and forth and cried. Suddenly Abby tried to say something. The demon looked at her then walked over to her. "You want to say something?" The demon asked, as he took the rope off of her mouth.

"My brother Shadow will come and save me," Abby said with tears in her eyes. The demon laughed.

"The Dark Master would love to eat him and his little friend," The demon said still laughing.

"HELP SOMEBODY HELP ME!!! SHADOW HELP!!! THE CREATURE HAS ME!!! I'M SCARED!!! HELP!!!" Abby screamed and was about to scream again until the demon slapped her across the face. Abby's lip was now bleeding.

"Shut up!" The demon shouted then put the rope around her mouth again. Abby started crying really hard.

Shadow and Amy were back in the woods. "We can't call Abby because The Dark Master's searching party will hear us," Shadow whispered to Amy. Amy nodded looking really scared. Shadow grabbed her hand and squeezed it tight. "After we find Abby we'll go back to The Light Kingdom," Shadow said looking nervous.

"I'm scared," Amy whispered with tears in her eyes.

"Me too," Shadow whispered back. They searched and searched until they spotted a fire not too far ahead. "Look," Shadow said, as he pointed ahead of them. Amy looked too and smiled a little.

"Maybe Abby's there," Amy told him. Shadow nodded then they started walking towards the fire. Suddenly they heard Abby's whimpers and the evil laughter of the demon.

"It is Abby," Shadow said with tears in his eyes then he tiptoed behind the tree where Abby was. The demon wasn't looking at all he was just eating his rabbit. Shadow then tapped Abby's shoulder and Abby looked at him. She then started making noises. "Shhh, Abby, shhh," Shadow whispered. The demon turned to look at Abby then Shadow quickly hid behind the tree again. Shadow didn't see Amy anywhere. The demon then turned back to his food and started eating it. Shadow started untying Abby's wrists but the demon looked at Shadow and frowned. Shadow froze in place.

"The Dark Master would be very pleased if I brought him two children for him to eat!" The demon shouted and ran towards Shadow. The demon threw a punch to Shadow but Shadow jumped away and landed on his back. The demon then grabbed Shadow by his neck and held him up with one hand. Shadow started gagging for air. The demon just laughed evilly.

"HEY!!!" Amy screamed from behind the demon. The demon turned his head and looked at her.

"What?" He asked.

"Take this!" Amy exclaimed and hit the demon in the head with her hammer. The demon fell to the ground unconscious and dropped Shadow. Shadow fell to his hands and knees and started gasping for air. Amy ran up to Shadow and hugged him.

"Where did you get that big hammer at Amy?" Shadow asked.

"I don't know. It just appeared in my hands," Amy replied. Shadow nodded and got up. After that Shadow and Amy untied Abby and Abby threw her arms around his waist in tears.

"I knew you would come!" Abby exclaimed threw tears. "I want to go home!" Abby shouted still crying. "I want mommy and daddy," Abby said sadly. Shadow picked her up then looked at Amy.

"Let's go," Shadow told her then suddenly they heard howling.

"Let's go now," Amy said nervously then they took off.
