+ Death of a Branch ( Trolls Fanfiction) + COMPLETED

Chapter 12

(3rd P.O.V.)

Poppy hugged herself, shivering whilst gritting her teeth. Flint smiled softly at her, rubbing her back.

Cooper had already fallen asleep under an giant leaf, dreaming about the horrors he had experienced at Fuzzbert's birthday party.

Chenille was gathering sticks and branches for the log fire.

And Fuzzbert had been kept to himself, nobody knowing exactly what he was thinking.

The small group were resting in a cave to spend the night, with spiders and insects crawling inside.

Flint whispered to Poppy. " Are you okay? "

Poppy frowned, looking directly at Flint. " N-No.. " She'd stutter due to awkwardness and the cold weather.

The white troll smiled sweetly and whispered into her ear.

" Sorry, if I caused you any trouble.. It's just such a rare opportunity to see such a graceful queen as you.. "

He'd fiddle with a long stroke of her bangs as he whispered.

Chenille scoffed. " Don't try anything, Flint.. ", her voice was deeper and her figure had changed. She was completely grey just like Poppy, but her hair was more messier because of doing the work to get the fire going.

But, Poppy couldn't help but think about Branch. She couldn't help but think Key.

She just knew it in her gut that Key had something to do with this whole party mishap. Off to find the trolls yet again.

Sigh.

Poppy pushed Flint's hand away nicely, standing up. " I'm not comfortable with you doing that.. "
She'd hug herself.

Flint frowned, knowing Poppy was not as naive as he thought she was. If he wanted to lure her to the cave, he had to act fast..

" Poppy. " He'd blurt out, having Poppy pivot back to Flint with a serious look on her face.

" What? "

Branch fell to the ground, having just spend 5 seconds of his life as a woman.

His head turned to Pana. As she was up against the wall, frightened and confused why her brother - Flint - is acting like this.. Well, she wasn't surprised, I mean he was a psychopath who got his hands on her creation that could cure the dead.

Pana sighed. " I'm sorry, Branch.. "

Branch was still angry, but calmed. It was like those moments when you want to be angry at someone, but can't help to feel bad.

" ..Maybe I shouldn't of chosen you to live.. " Pana's voice cracked, also feeling what Branch was feeling.

" I shouldn't of chose the Queen's boyfriend.. " She'd chuckle, but with a frown. " I can kill you again, you know.. "

Branch stayed silent, just having a empty mind, only thinking about death.. It wasn't the best option.. But, a miracle happened to him.. He was brought back to life..

But, that left him with nothing. No Poppy, no happiness.. No nothing.

Back then when he was gray, he had it all..

But, just didn't believe he didn't deserve it..

...

He's gray again.

Empty again.

  doddʎ...

Branch spoke a sentence, murmuring it. Yet, loud enough to be heard, which sent shivers down Pana's spine.

* * *

It's like ever since Branch's death, chaos had been striking as every corner they take.

It's fucking annoying..

. . .

Flint eyed Poppy as she slept with one eye open, trying not to think of the demons they'll face.

Flint had promised her they'll find out what happened to the Trolls and Branch..

But, Poppy didn't trust Flint, yet felt he was safe to be around.

But, that Key.. That troll.

Poppy knew something was up about him.

And she knew

That he was the reason behind this..
