Chapter 21 - The giants bridge

April, Hailey and I we near the mountains now. They were so close that you could see them from our hotel window. The hotel we were in was called the skis and ale grand hotel and by far the best I have ever set foot in. "come back to bed "Hailey said as she let out a cute yawn.]

I walked back to bed and threw off the blankets and started kissing Hailey's soft neck. "we got to get a move on" I said happily as I was with the most beautiful woman in the world so amazing were these last few days I forgot about the dark path that was in front of us.

"fine" she giggled as she brought my chin forward so that she could kiss me, each kiss tasted like happiness if happiness had a taste. Are moment of bliss was cut short. A dock came from are door followed by an excited "let me in". it was April who since learning that hailey was an earth witch and I was her stepbrother was a real joy to be around.

Hailey conjured her nightdress and answered the door. April was at the other end with three big parcels hat towered over head. April waddled over the bed and set the parcels right in front of me. There was a parcel for each of us even Hailey.

In mine there was a great big Gray winter coat, hiking boots and some supplies. April's had the same except hers was pink and the hood had fluffy edges. Hailey kept looking at here examining it for traps (in case it was from her evil mother).

"it's alright princess it's from my master" I happily reassured her.

"princess" Hailey's glittered with joy and by the time she stops glaring at me lovingly it was open. Hailey's was just like ours except in teal.

After April went back to her room to get changed. Me and Hailey had some quick fun. After forty minutes we arrived in the reception area. April was sitting there doing a puzzle. "sorry we are late" being not sorry at all.

"aha" April near bounced out of joy, "oh I didn't notice being trying to do this puzzle for ages". April packed her puzzle away as I thanked and paid the receptionist. All three of us wear now standing in the stone the cold air barely affecting me or the girls as we happily walked toward the mountains.

An hour passed. Finally, we were at the foot of the mountains. The closest to us was the only way up as it had a giant spirally staircase that the ancient used to get to the ancient summit in which the was a giant bridge that ran through the whole range.

The march up the stairs was perilous as we kept slipping. I wish Max were with us I thought to myself as he could use fire to burn away the ice. Hailey's connection to earth was also weak up her and April would just make it worst.

Finally, we were on level ground again. We kept walking through a cave that was well lit. Taven must have already been here I said as I started into a sprint the girls at my heels. Lucky it was less slippery as we ran through the end of the cave and pass a giant gold arch way.

Something in the distance was hurling towards me. The girls quickly pulled me back as the bolder bounced of the bridge. The joy of making it to the bridge was quickly washed away when I seen what was cutting through the clouds.

Two giants well giants were at each side of the bridge. The eyes were like ice and were fixed on me.

The swung there bolder like arms to the spot in which way lay. Quickly April form and circle of ice under us and gave each of us a kick to move us away. At the last moment she kicks herself of the railings as the giant fists pounded the empty ground.

The whole bridge shook but there not even a dent. I stood up and pulled out my bow firing both light and dark arrow is in quick succession to little effect. April shot up about a dozen ice balls again with little effect. I looked behind me and as far as the eye can see there was more of them.

A thought came to my head.as I grabbed hailey told her to hold on tight and ordered April to try and keep up. I shot a stream of water and with some luck because of the temperature it froze.

Using the stream as a rail I skid down the bridge. Going to fast for the giants to hit us but slow enough for hailey to hold on. The rumbling of the bridge died down as we reached a golden door built into the rocks.

But before we could celebrate getting passed the giants' all, but familiar beings swooped down from each side one taking Hailey and the other taking April. Without a second thought they dropped both over the edge giving a sinter laugh.

I just stood there heartbroken I feel to my knees, but then a light bright than anything I've ever witness appear. It was an angel who looked quite like me each shoulder holding one of the girls. The sinister laughing was now replaced with screams of pain as they were burning away.

"father" I walked closer to the glowing being with a heavy heart.

"yes, son your mother used the last of her will to summon my spirt" he said his voice was like wind.

Hailey and April hugged him then hugged me. "my mother is she going to be alright" I worryingly asked.

"only if you succeed son I must part ways now. just keep making me proud" he disappeared." Are you both ok" I asked the girls my heart full of mixed emotions? They both nodded as we walked past the ashes of the vampire brides and into the ancient summit.
