Chapter 4:Do You Believe in Ghost? 👻

As Branch enters the castle, he looks around to see lots of paints and statues. He walks into a spider web 🕷️ 🕸️ and trips. He knocks over a knight armor.

Troy is Showing Poppy around the castle.

"This castle has been here for.many centuries." It is my birth right he says." And as you can see in these paintings my ancestors as well."

Poppy was amazed. Hazel and Harley looks at a painting and sees Troy in it alongside another Troll who is yellow wearing a green and blue suit identical to his.

"Hey Troy is this.you?" Hazel asked.
"Indeed.".Troy replies. This is the great Troll war."Ah does that bring back memories." We fought with honor and had a big feast.

"Cool." Harley says. He then sees the other Troll. "And who's this? With you?" Was he a friend of yours?"

Troy seemed hesitant not to talk about the other Troll in the picture. "Indeed he was." But we have gone our separate dull to a little issue between."

"Oh no." Poppy says feeling bad for him. Branch grumbles.

"What happened?" Hazel asked wanting to know more. Troy got quiet. " Let's say when someone comes into your life, You have to make some sacrifices.'' Troy replies in a serious tone. Branch cocked a brow.

Wilfred comes. "Dinner is ready Master Troy.''

"Ah yes.'' Dinner.'' Come come.'' It's time to fill our Tummies.''

Troy takes Poppy's hand once again. The kids follow behind. Before Branch could come in the dining room, the door slams.

"Hey!" Hello!" He bangs on the door.He then sees something glowing and follows it. In the dining room, Wilfred pulls a chair for Poppy and the children. Poppy looks around the dining room is beautiful.''

"Isn't it?" Troy asked. This was the most wondrous room in the castle. We had ball room dances in here as well.'' He took a sip of his soup.

"That sounds.'' Fantasamazing!" Poppy says. Troy looks confused.

"Oh sorry, Fantasamazing is a word my sister back at home says.'' It's like a combination of Fantastic and Amazing.''

"Well, I think it's a pretty word.'' Troy says. Hazel and Harley both stared at them.

"Is it me?" Is he really like eye mom more?" Hazel whispered to her brother.

"I don't know, but it's really making me feel weird. He notices someone is missing.

"Where's dad?" he asked.'' Branch is seen walking down the hall following the mysterious light. He looks at the paintings on the wall and then counties to follow the light. Not seeing the eyes on the painting following him. As Branch follows the light into a room. He looks around.

"Whoa.'' He says. He sees more and more paintings of a pink troll who looks just like Poppy.

"Is that Poppy?" He asked. He sees a journal and reads. The night sky is young. The moon is full like just like my heart for-'' he is cut off by a voice.

"Hello?" Branch jumps.

"Who's there?"

No answer.

"Hello?"Branch called out. He looks at the journal and puts it in his vest.

"Who are you and what are you doing in this room?" A red troll dressed as a maid asked causing Branch to jump.

"This room is off limits.''

"I'm sorry." I didn't know this room was private.'' Branch replies.

"Well you should be sorry the maid says. "Now out, and do not come back into this room.'' Branch leaves and the maid shuts the door. Branch just got a suppcious look and heads back downstairs.

In the dining room, Troy is seen dancing with Poppy as the kids watch. "So I take it everything is going to your liking? Troy asked as he spins Poppy around.

"This has been a fun night.'' Poppy says.

"Of course it has.'' I am known to be a fun Troll.'' Troy says. What if I told you something more about this castle?" Troy says.

"Ok i'm listening."

You promise you won"t laugh?"Troy asked.

"I promise.''Poppy says.

"Do you believe in Ghost?" Troy asked.

"I Can't say that I don't." Why do you ask?"Poppy asked.

"Because I-Troy is suddenly cut off when he sees Branch.

"Branch.'' Poppy says letting go of Troy and walking up to . "There you are.'' Where have you been?"

"Upstairs." Apparently the Doors slammed in my face.'' Branch says guesturing to Troy who just rolled his.

"You ever thought that you're seeing things.'' Troy says.

"Oh I see perfectly fine.'' Branch says crossing his arms. "I see you're dancing With my wife.''

"Branch.'' Poppy says holding him back. "I'm sorry.'' He's just a little cranky."Being in an unknown area makes him very tense and sleepy. Poppy picks up Twig.'' We should be heading to bed."So we can get up bright and early for Pufalo Mountain.'' Hazel and Harley gets up and follow their mom.

Branch points both his fingers at Troy and follows his family.

Troy growled.

Later that night, Poppy and Branch are putting the kids to bed. Poppy gives Harley a kiss on the cheek.

"Good night kids.'' Sweet dreams." Poppy takes Twig with her and Branch walks up to his son and Daughter.

"Are you two excited for tomorrow?" He asked.

"Heck yeah we are.'' Hazel replies. I can't wait to see all the pufalo's Drink lots of pufalo milk and eat the Swiss Pufalo cheese.''

Branch smiles. He then sees a sad expression on Harley's face.

"Hey why the face sport?"

"It's just well this vacation is very important to me and i'm afraid that, once it's over, you're going to keep working?" Harley asked. Branch got quiet.

"You don't have to worry about that.''Look I know I'm always busy. But I will always be there for you all if you need me.'' Branch tells him

"You promise you'll try to be there more?" Harley asked.

Branch smiled. "I promise."

Branch kisses his fore head. "Now get some sleep and with that he turns off the light and shuts the door.

In another room. "I'm telling you sir.'' It just can't be her.'' Wilfred says.

"It has to be.'' I know it is.'' Troy says walking around.

"But how can you be so certain?" Wilfred.

"Because I know Judith." Those eyes that smile." I know it's her." And I'm going to get her to be with me once more."

"But what of the husband and children?"Wilfred asked.

"Don't worry, they'll be delt with.'' Troy replies. I'll make sure of it."
