Across The Bridge Novels & Stories

Lex said before opening the side door to get in. “And you?” I asked, looking at the girl standing in front of me. “Mmm-mm. Let’s say I’m the Girl Across The Street that couldn’t help falling madly over heels In love with you, the one that couldn’t get enough of your sweetness. The one you intoxicate with your beauty” she said standing an inch away from me, I watched her hand trail over my loose hair and brushed them off my face. Her hands moving slowly down my neck, I choked on my breath when she ran her thumb on my lower lips.

He said, slammed the door, and left. Watching his figure, I only felt exhausted. I did everything I could to make this desperate researcher the brilliant academician he was, but what had I gained in the end? … The next day was kindergarten's parent-child day. Anna woke up early, the redness and swelling on her face still lingering. Her tiny body sank into the large couch as she stared at the closed door. Neatly folded beside her was Arlo's matching outfit. It was a promise Arlo had made to her before he was supposed to leave for Swizor.

I fell to the side. We lay tangled in the sheets for a long time, our bodies pressed close, her hand resting on my chest, feeling the steady thud of my heart beneath her fingers. I kissed her forehead, then the top of her hair. “I was thinking of doing something,” I said quietly. She stirred against me. “About what?” “To honor Jace.” Rae looked up at me, eyes searching mine. “That’s… that’s beautiful. What do you have in mind?” I exhaled slowly, the idea forming more solidly as I spoke. “There’s a bridge on the edge of the territory—the one that leads to the northern cliffs. It’s been unnamed for years. I want to call it the Jace Dax Crossing.”

August's POV We just looked at the river. He is not ordinary in my eyes. It's not red, but there's a lot of fog on top of it and I don't know why it's like that. It's also wide, the river seems to be half a kilometer wide before the other side. "Are you serious Lucas that there is no bridge here?" Angel Grace asked in disbelief. "Roooooooooo!" Fyro is second. "Watch this," Lucas said and he put his hand on the ground suddenly some vines collided and he started to cross the river that was forming a bridge but before he could stop, the bridge suddenly broke and turned to ashes! What the fuck?!

"We need help getting the children across!" For several seconds, nothing happened. Then, a large brown wolf approached the broken bridge. Another followed. Soon, more gathered. Darius watched them. "They understood?" Malric offered a faint smile. "They always understood more than we gave them credit for." The wolves crossed first, testing the remaining stone with their weight. Several returned carrying children on their backs, while others stayed close to frightened humans as they navigated the narrow section that remained intact. It worked, until another tremor struck. The bridge cracked.

And then he rolled his eyes at the frowning forehead and came towards her thoughtfully. "Look at that." He stretched out his arm and pointed towards the bridge. She looked in the direction of his arm. There was a bridge made of four ropes with two ropes for walking and one rope for walking around. Seeing the bridge, people started trembling with fear. "Now don't say you have to go beyond that." She opened her eyes full of fear and asked in a frightened voice. "We can’t go back. They are still here. My mobile has lost somewhere so I can’t call someone. All we have to do is go across it and then untie the ropes on the other side so we can save more."

A rickety rope bridge stretched across the gap, swaying precariously in the wind. “You’ve got to be kidding me,” I muttered, staring at the bridge. “It’s our only option,” Zara said, already moving toward it. Rowan grabbed her arm. “That thing won’t hold all of us at once.” “Then we go one at a time,” she replied, shaking him off. The sound of footsteps and shouting drew closer, cutting off any further argument. Zara stepped onto the bridge, testing its strength before motioning for me to follow. “Hurry!” she urged.

"You've got to be kidding me." "Terribly sorry, ma'am. sir," the tall one said quickly, bowing slightly like that would fix anything. "Unfortunately, the hotel is fully booked tonight. We can only resolve this by morning." My stomach dropped. Fully booked? meaning.. The jerk let out a low chuckle that infuriated me. "Well, sweetheart, looks like we're roommates." "Over my dead body," I snapped. The nerve. still....why did that stupid chuckle sound so good?

“Oh, and Ben?” Brax turned back around to face the troll. “If elderly travelers want to cross your bridge, let them. I’ll gladly pay the f*e.” Brax said then turned back so we could continue walking along the path. “Of course, Prince.” Ben spoke from behind us. Then we heard his sloshing footsteps as he rushed back through the stream of water and under his bridge. I was gushing over the way Brax handled the troll under the bridge.

the speed increased, we caught up with the others and even surpassed them. The further we went the chiller the air became, even the day darkened unnaturally, my heart nearly leaped into my arms on sighting what was before us. A long endless bridge, carved with skulls, some in their wolf form, some in their human form, the bridge rumored to have no end. “You can't be serious. It actually exists” I muttered, “forged from the bones of everyone who failed to pass,” Cain’s voice turned solemn, “Aria, shut your eyes,”
