Story 4:Trolls And The Haunted Castle

Chapter 10:Madam Cortez

You look so beautiful.''

Poppy is covered in wearing a white dress, with a skull head band . She has a dull look on her face."I don't want to do this!" Poppy yells."I want to see my husband and kids!"

"You rang my dear?" Troy asked coming into the room.

"Where's Branch?" And my kids?"

''The children are safe for now.'' Troy answered. "They're being guarded in the tower."But your fool of a husband, well...you can take a goo guess.''

Poppy couldn't believe what she heard.

"No..."

"Yes. "And with him out of the picture, we can finally focus on us.''

Poppy looked up at Troy.

"You're insane she says.

"Thank you.'' I take full credit for it.'' Get it from my father's side.'' Troy says.

"It's true.'' Troy's father says.

Poppy begins to tear up. 

"Don't worry darling, the pain will be over soon, Once the wedding starts. Troy tells her. 

Poppy didn't say anything. Suddenly a guard comes. 

"Sir your aunt and cousins have arrived."

"Better go welcome them.'' Can't wait for you to meet the family.'' Troy goes downstairs.

Poppy couldn't help but cry over Branch's suppose death.

The two ghosts that were with her felt sorry for her and left.

"I think this is wrong Mina.'' Troy's finally lost his mind.''

"I know Trina, but what can we do? Mina asked.

"You can both leave.'' The twin ghost sees Wilfred.

"Mr.Wilfred."

"I'll take it from here thank you.'' Wilfred says entering the room.

Mina and Trina looked at each other.

As Poppy continued to grieve, Wilfred stood over her. He clears his throat.

"Um, Ms.Judith-

"Poppy.''

"Right, forgive me.'' Master Troy wanted you opinion on which flavor cake you would like for the wedding.''

"Are you serious?" Poppy asked in anger with tears pouring down her cheeks. "My husband was murdered and my kids are locked away in a tower and your asking me what flavor cake I want?" How can you stand by and help someone like that?

Wilfred felt gilt.

"I'm sorry...I really am...I just...Wilfred didn't know what to say.

"Suddenly the door opens. Where's my new "Niece in law?" A big fat ghost asked. She hugs Poppy.

Poppy wiggles out the hug.

"Leave me alone!" She yells.

"Ooh she's feisty." Ok She's a keeper Troy."

"Yes she surely is." Troy says.

Poppy glared at him.

"Come along Wilfred." Let's give Judith some time to herself before the wedding."

Wilfred looks at Poppy and back at Troy. "Of course Master Troy."
As they leave, Poppy looks out the window.

"Oh Branch." She lays on the bed 🛏️ continuing to grieve.
