The Golden Bridge

Chapter 6: The Tree Attack

Shadow, Amy, and Abby kept running. Suddenly Shadow caught a tree moving rapidly. Shadow suddenly came to a stop. Amy stopped ahead of him and Shadow put down Abby. Abby grabbed Shadow's hand and squeezed it. "What's going on Shadow?" Amy asked him. Shadow looked at the trees.

"The trees," Shadow replied. Amy looked at all of the trees and gulped nervously. Abby started crying.

"What are we going to do?" Amy asked then suddenly a branch wrapped around her waist and picked her up then started squeezing her very hard. "Help!" Amy managed to say through the squeezing. Shadow let go of Abby's hand and ran up to the tree.

"I don't know what to do!" Shadow called up after her. Amy didn't say anything and tried to get out but failed. Suddenly a branch wrapped around Abby's waist and picked her up.

"Shadow!" Abby screamed, as tears rolled down her cheeks. Shadow looked at Abby then at Amy. Suddenly a branch reached over to Shadow and tried to grab him. Shadow jumped out of the way and started climbing the tree Abby was on. Shadow reached Abby and pulled the branch off of Abby. Suddenly Abby was about to fall but Shadow caught her just in time.

"Climb on my back," Shadow demanded Abby. Abby climbed onto Shadow's back and wrapped her arms around his neck. Shadow then jumped onto the branch that Amy was on and climbed towards her. Amy was limp in the branches' grasp. Shadow pulled the branch off of Amy and then caught her before she fell. He was holding Amy with one arm. "Amy wake up, you're too heavy!" Shadow exclaimed tiredly. Suddenly Amy opened her eyes slowly then she quickly looked around.

"Shadow," Amy said, as she looked up at him.

"Amy…come on. Help me pull you up," Shadow said, as he pulled. Amy climbed up and then sat down on the branch.

"Shadow look out!" Abby exclaimed, as she pointed at a branch heading his way. Shadow looked and tried to jump away but it was too late. The branch hit him and then he and Abby went falling. Abby started screaming and Amy was calling after them. Shadow grabbed Abby and put her in front of him.

"Brace yourself Abby," Shadow said, as he shut his eyes. Abby clutched onto him tightly and closed her eyes. Suddenly Shadow fell onto another branch hard and hurt his back. Shadow cried out in pain. Abby didn't get hurt at all she was still clutching onto him tightly. Shadow was trying to stay up. "Abby…" Shadow whispered tiredly. Abby looked at him with tears in her eyes.

"Shadow!" Abby screamed, as she shook him. Suddenly Amy climbed down to the branch they were on and sat next to Shadow.

"Shadow get up! We have to get out of here or the tree branches will come again and those creatures too!" Amy exclaimed. Shadow sat up painfully. "Can you still move your legs?" Amy asked. Shadow moved his legs a little and Amy smiled a little. "Good," Amy said.

"Can we go home now?" Abby asked with a look of fear on her face. Amy and Shadow nodded.

"Yeah…" Shadow said, as he stood up. Abby climbed onto his back again and Amy held Shadow's hand. "We're gonna have to jump," Shadow said. Abby closed her eyes tightly.

"Do you mean, jump branch to branch?" Amy asked. Shadow nodded then they jumped onto another branch. Suddenly a huge branch was coming straight for their heads.

"Duck!" Shadow shouted. Amy and Shadow then ducked. After that they jumped down onto another branch. Suddenly a branch hit their backs then they went falling forward. Amy screamed so did Abby. After a couple of seconds they hit the ground. It wasn't too far down so they didn't get hurt too bad.

"Come on let's go," Amy said then they started running. Suddenly they heard howling. It was the demons. Shadow looked back and saw the demons running after them like dogs.

"They're coming!" Shadow said, as he picked up Amy (bridal style). He then ran extremely fast.

Shadow's parents were in the woods still, searching for their children and Amy. Amy's parents were also there along with the police. Sarah was sitting down on a log crying her eyes out. Wark walked up to her and then sat next to her. "Something took my baby Abby and my little Shadow is missing," Sarah said, as she cried. Wark hugged her tightly.

"We'll find them…don't worry, we'll find them," Wark said with tears in his eyes. Sarah continued to cry then suddenly Amy's parents walked up to them. Amy's mother's eyes were red because she had been crying. Amy's father was frowning at them.

"I'm Nancy…and this is my husband, Leo," Amy's mother said trying not to cry. Wark and Sarah looked up at them and smiled a little.

"I'm Wark and this is my wife Sarah," Wark said, as he pointed at Sarah.

"…it's nice to meet you…both," Sarah said, as she cried. Wark squeezed her tight. Leo growled.

"If your son hadn't become friends with my daughter, she wouldn't be missing right now! It's all your son's fault you mindless dummy!" Leo shouted at them. Wark closed his eyes and Sarah cried even harder.

"Leo…you didn't have to say that…" Nancy said, as she put her hand on Leo's shoulder. Leo moved away from her and growled.

"Don't touch me. I need some time alone," Leo said, as he started walking away. Nancy started crying and she fell down to her knees.

Shadow ran and ran until he reached the front of The Light Kingdom's door. It was now dark. Shadow dropped Amy and Abby climbed off his back. Shadow then fell onto his stomach and passed out from exhaustion. Abby looked at Amy with tears in her eyes. "Is Shadow gonna be okay?" Abby asked.

"…yes…yes he is," Amy replied then suddenly the door opened and Nova walked up to them with two soldiers with wings. Abby just stared at them in amazement and gazed at the kingdom.

"Where are we?" Abby asked.

"You are in Golden Land," Nova replied, as the soldiers picked up Shadow and carried him into the kingdom. "Your brother will be fine Abby, come, we'll have dinner now if you like. Then Shadow can join us," Nova said, as she walked into the kingdom.

"Yes…I'm starving," Amy said, as she grabbed Abby's hand then they both walked into the kingdom.

In a dark kingdom south from The Light Kingdom a big dark figure sat in the corner. Its red eyes glowed in the dark. Suddenly a smaller dark figure walked over to it and smiled. "I want you to get those pesky children and bring them to me," The small figure said. The big dark figure stood up and growled.

"Yes…" The big dark figure said and was about to walk pass him until the smaller dark figure grabbed his arm.

"Do not fail me. I want the girls' heads and bring the boy to me, alive," The smaller figure demanded. The big dark figure nodded then walked off. The smaller figure laughed evilly.
