"Just... a little... farther," Poppy groaned, as she and her mother slowly climbed up the tube.
Poppy and Pansy both had their feet against the walls of the tube, there backs smooshed together, as they held onto each other's arms.

(Like this but with trolls)
They reached the top of the tube, panting as they gasped for air, tired from the climb, but they weren't free yet. They still had to get the trap door open, so they could climb out.
Quickly, Poppy whipped up her hair, pulling on the trap door, but she couldn't get it to open.
"It's... stuck..." Poppy groaned, struggling to open the trap door. "Here. Let me help," Pansy offered.
Pansy joined in the attempt, whipping her hair up, to help her daughter pull.
Slowly, the trap door began to slide open.
"It's working!" Poppy laughed with a smile.
The two trolls kept pulling on the door, until they were finally able to crawl out, making their way to freedom.
They knelt on the floor, panting heavily, trying to catch their breath.
"Ok," Poppy finally said, still panting slightly. "We need to find Branch, and then get out of here." Pansy nodded, but then froze.
Her eyes widened in horror, as she noticed something.
"Uh... Poppy..." she said softly.
Poppy looked to where her mother was looking, seeing a wall of security screens, all of them showing hunters searching for Branch, but one of them was a little different...
"Branch!" Poppy yelled, seeing Uueeka running through the halls with Branch in his beak, several hunters chasing after them.
"We gotta save him!" Poppy yelled, running out of the room, with her mother following behind.
Slowly, the chair behind the dest began to move, spinning around to reveal Creek sitting in it.
"I don't think so, Poppy..." he said quietly, as he smirked. "I don't think so..."
