The Blossoming Of Our Love (Broppy story)

Chapter 17

Branch's Pov

Creek picked Poppy up and threw her onto the bed and then he turned his gaze on me. But to his suprise, I was already gone and his sword was missing. I hid behind grandma's dresser and took his sword. I took a glance and saw Creek again on top of Poppy pressing the knife to her throat.

"Where is he???" Creek asked Poppy

"I don't know." Poppy answered in fear

"Once I kill him, you and I we'll have so much fun."

When he said that I bundled into him, throwing him off of Poppy, and pinned him to the ground.

"Look who showed up." He said sarcasticly

"If you touch her again...."

"What are you gonna do??? You're gonna kill your cousin????"

"Actually, it's not a bad idea."

"Oh my!!! Is she bleeding???" Creek said and I immediately got off of him and ran to Poppy. Creek got up and took back his sword.

"You're so predictable, cousin. Actually, you're a hopeless romantic."

Once I made sure that Poppy was okay, I jumped on Creek once again and I was giving a fight to take the sword away from him. Eventually, Creek got on top of me and he was ready to struggle me.

"Stay away from him!!!" Poppy yelled and hit Creek with a broken chair's leg. While I was gasping for air, Poppy was giving a fight with Creek. When Poppy turned her gaze on me to see if I was okay, Creek kicked her in her stomach, making her loose balance and fall to the ground. She hit her head and she let out a whimper of pain.

Then a loud noise caught our attention. Smidge broke down the door and our friends entered the room. I have no idea how they got in here, but I'm glad they did. I punched Creek, and I ran up to Poppy. She lost her consciousness when Creek threw her to the ground. I picked her up and placed her to Guy Diamond's arms and told them to take her away from here. Once they exited the room I locked the door behind me.

I have to end this myself.

Poppy's Pov

I opened my eyes and saw everyone looking at me with a worried expression. Did we win??? Wait. Where's Branch.

"What happened???"

"Popsqueak, you really gave us a scare, girl." Barb said

"Where's Branch?"

"He's still inside. Fighting with Creek." Biggie said

"What??? How did you get into the castle??? How did I get here???"

"You lost consciousness and when we came to help you guys, Branch told us to take you away from there." Smidge said

"Why????" I said and got up and started banging on the door. "Branch!!!!!! Let us in!!!!!!!"

No answer. All I could here was yelling and fighting and then......

We heard a loud scream. A whimper of pain. Like someone was.......cut by a blade.

Oh no. This is bad. Really bad.

"Branch!!!!! Please answer me!!!!! We have to get in there!!!!!"

Smidge used her hair to break the door down but there was no use. Branch had locked the door and had placed something heavy to hold her.

"We have an idea." Satin and Chenille said in unison and took a pair of scissors from their hair. They unlocked the door and then we were able to move the..... whatever that was from the door. We got into the room and.....

What we saw was......

Branch standing next to Creek's bloody body. Branch had blood all over him. Creek's dead and lifeless body was lying down on the floor with a sword going through his chest.

"Branch....."

"I'm.....I'm sorry cousin. I didn't have any other choice." Branch said in despair. At least he's alive. I came closer to him and Branch hugged me so tight while he was crying. He laid his head on my shoulder and I could hear his sobbing.

"It's okay, Branch. It's okay. It's over." I said while I was holding him in my arms.
