"Awww! You're so cute!" the giant said, looking at Branch in her hand.
"Let me go!" Branch cried out in terror.
"Whoa! You can talk!? Mommy! Mommy! I found a talking blue hamster!" she called out, as she ran away from the fountain.

"Branch!" Poppy yelled, climbing out of the fountain with the rest of the trolls.
"Well... he's done for," Barb said.
"Barb!" everyone yelled, turning to look at her.
"What? I'm just speaking the truth."

"Ugh!" Poppy yelled out, pulling on her ears. "We have to save him!"
"How? This isn't like the growl beasts, Poppy. We don't even know where that creature took him. It's hopeless, Poppy. He's gone."

     Poppy shook her head.

     "No. We're not giving up. No troll left behind!"
"Poppy's right. We can't just leave him here," Synth said. "He would never leave us."
"Yeah. I agree," Prince D said.
"Yeah... I'm not so sure," Copper said.

     "Well I'm going. I don't care how dangerous it is! I will find Bra..."

     Suddenly a hawk swooped down, picking all of the trolls up off of the ground.

     "AHHHHH!"

     "Mommy! Mommy! Look what I fou..."

     Suddenly Branch bit down on the giant's hand.

     "Ow!" she screamed, dropping him to the ground.

     Quickly, he stood, beginning to run back towards the fountain, his arms stretched out in front of him, as he screamed.

     "Wait! Come back!" the giant yelled, chasing after him.

     "No!" Branch cried out, running for his life. "Leave me alone!"

     Several giants walked past, most of them almost stepping on Branch.

     "Whoa!" he yelled, dodging the giant feet.

     Finally, he reached the fountain, jumping, trying to get back into it.

     "Poppy! Barb! Cooper! Anyone! HELP!" he cried out, but no one answered.

     He tried so hard to get back into the fountain, but it was just too tall.

     "Gotcha," the giant, who had taken him before said, as she grabbed him off the ground.

     "No! Please!" Branch cried, trying to get away. "I just want to go home!"

     The giant laughed, quietly.

     "We are going home, silly. Come on. Mom's gonna love you."

     She started to skip away, bringing Branch with her.

     "No! Poppy! Help!"
