I had only just realised I'd just thrown a road cone at an already angry troll and made him even angrier when he roared and charged at me. I ran as fast I could in the other direction and hid behind a car at random. He was in the process off throwing cars off the road to find the one I was hiding behind when he suddenly stopped and sniffed at the air. He walked away from where I was hiding and towards the bus Jim and Toby were hiding behind. He walked down the road, tearing through cars as if they were nothing more than tinfoil until he got to where Tom and Toby were hiding. He lifted the bus they were behind and stared at their terrified faces for a moment.

"Centuries of trollhunters" he growled "and I will have killed two in almost as many days".

"He's good at math!" Toby shouted

"Go, go, go!" Jim yelled back at him as the troll threw the bus at them. "Flying bus!".

"Incoming" Toby added as they peddled away from the bus.

They biked away and the troll followed them. I could faintly hear the troll cursing at them.

"I'll flay the flesh from your bones!" The troll shouted at them.

I sat still for a moment and savoured the silence before I got on my bike and prepared to chase them. They would have been dead if I hadn't distracted the troll for them, who knew what madness they would do without me. When I caught up to them they were biking into the gab beside the electronic shop. Maybe they weren't as stupid as I had thought. I watched the troll claw at the gap for a while until I decided to go the long way around to meet them.

When I caught up to them they were catching their breath. I biked up to them.

"Don't I get a thank you?" I asked them as they stared at me worriedly.

"Do you think she'd believe me if I told her she was hallucinating?" Toby murmured to Jim.

Jim never got to answer him because at that moment the trolls from earlier came out of a bush beside the road.

"Master Jim!" The troll with four arms chuckled as he came out of the bush.

"Bular's trying to kill us!" Jim gasped "he chased us all over town!".

"And your still alive!" The troll cried happily, "I knew you had potential!"

"You have a sweet voice, but you bring death with you!" Toby accused the troll.

"What kind of sick. . . Monsters are you?!" I gasped.

The trolls looked startled, it was obvious they'd only just noticed me.

"Why don't you fight this Bular person?!" I shouted at them

They both burst out laughing.

"I could not hope to poses the skill to defeat Bular" the many armed one laughed."

"What about you?" I said to the bigger one "you're big and scary!"

"Pacifist" he answered simply.

"Seriously?" I replied

"What waste of a hulking brute" said Toby as he patted the trolls shoulder.

"Thank you" it rumbled back.

"This is why there's a trollhunter" the smaller one said, turning to Jim "aaarrrgghh renounced the violent path ages ago".

The troll was cut off when Bular appeared around the corner, growling.

"Follow me" the smaller troll shouted "we'll be safe in heartstone trollmarket!"

We all started running down the road towards the canal. I didn't particularly want to follow these strange creatures but I didn't particularly want to be eaten alive either so I followed Jim, Toby and the trolls. As we ran the troll with four arms yelled at Jim.
