Dark Paradise (A Broppy Story)

Dark Paradise Prologue

Poppy's POV

No No No..... this can't be. He can't be gone, he *sniff* can't be.

It's a nightmare I'll wake up... I'll wake up. But why am I still here?

Here with him lying limp in my arms.

My Branchie....

He was gone. I held him close to me, never wanting to let go, crying my eyes out.

"Branch... N-n-o... please....". But his skin was as cold as ice. His melody breath was gone. His eyelids closed, never to be opened again....

Tears run down my face, I could feel my colors fade, but I didn't care. I had blood- his blood all over my dress, but I didn't care. I could hear Smidge fighting Creek, but I didn't care. All I want is my Branchie back...

I held his hand in mine. "Why... W-w-why did you leave me" I could barley speak, I was a mess. Hugging him tighter in my arms.

He promised...h-he promised that he would always be there... but your not here....

I could the Snack Pack calling my name, but I didn't care....

After a while I finally look up to see the Snack Pack in front of me. All with sorrowful looks on their faces. We all stood there for a while until DJ finally spoke up. "Poppy... I'm sorry but we have to go.... more of Creek's followers are coming...*sigh* we have to get out of here".

"No, I'm not leaving him!". I can't, I just can't leave my Branchie. I could then see Smidge dragging the beaten up Creek with his hair. Creek looked up at me, seeing Branch in my arms... and he smiled.

"Well... looks like I won in the end eh?". Before he could go on Smidge lifted him up and threw him straight back to the ground.

I go back to looking at Branch.... it's all my fault! If I had only stayed at my pod like Branch said, I wouldn't have gotten captured... and he wouldn't of have to save me.... killing him in the process. The wound on his chest kept bleeding... from were Creek stabbed him...

I could hear Creeks men getting closer. But I didn't want to leave him...

"POPPY WE HAVE TO GO NOW!". DJ started grabbing at my arm pulling me away from Branch. "NO NO NO, I DON'T WANNA LEAVE HIM! HE NEEDS ME!" I struggled against her grip.

"POPPY DON'T YOU SEE BRANCH IS GONE OK! HE'S DEAD, HE'S-... HE'S NEVER GONNA COME BACK!" DJ yelled. I froze, the words stinging my heart like if I was stabbed my Creek. DJ then yanked me away from Branch pulling me away from him.

"NO PLEASE, NOOOOOOOOOO". All the girls walked away with me leaving the boys with Branch. GD had picked Branch up and him and the boys started walking in the opposite direction.

"WAIT, WERE ARE THEY GOING? WHAT ARE THEY DOING WITH BRANCH!". DJ who was pulling said "They need to go in a different direction, we've lost Branch, we can't lose you".

I tugged away from DJ's grip and started to run were the boys were. But Creek's men were already chasing after them...

....and that was the last time I ever saw my Branchie...

I didn't even get to say good bye...

1 year later

"POPPY! COME DOWN HERE NOW!". Ugh, why does he want now? I put on my crown and left my bedroom. "POPPY! DON'T MAKE ME COME UP THERE!". I closed my bedroom door and bolted down the hallway.
