Chapter Nine

Branch and Poppy were relieved, and slightly confused to see their only bergen friend Bridget instead of Chef. Not sure what to say, Branch just watched curiously as Princess Poppy hoped up onto Bridget's extended hand before lifting the princess up closer to her face. Out of the corner of his eye, Branch could see King Peppy tense up a little as one of the troll races sworn enemies had gotten a little too close for his comfort to his daughter, but he made no scene. Branch assumed he was able to quickly pick up on the newly formed relationship between the female bergen and his daughter, King Peppy also knew that if Branch wasn't worried about this bergen, then there was no reason he should worry either.

"What are you doing?" The pink troll questioned, her voice full of worry.

"I can't let them eat you." The kind female bergen explained.

"But..." While Poppy battled with her inner turmoil, Branch could only feel relief wash over him with Bridget's declaration, as he glanced around him he could almost visibly see the tension lift completely from the rest of the trolls still trapped inside the pot. Poppy had really made a good decision when she decided to befriend this bergen, a decision he highly doubted any other troll surrounding them right now would've ever dared to make, including himself.

"Come on! You gotta go!" Bridget urged as she stopped the troll princess from saying anything more and tipped over the pot everyone had been trapped inside. Everyone tumbled clumsily to the ground, but were able to quickly find their bearing the moment they felt themselves hit the pavement, the fear of being found still weighing heavily on everyone's minds.

"Hurry! Go, go, go! Get outta here!" Many of the trolls took off the moment they found their footing and Branch found his instincts telling him to do just the same, but he paused.

'If she goes in there without us... what will happen... to Bridget?' Branch found himself wondering as the rest of the troll village scattered around him. He couldn't believe he was actually finding himself concerned about a bergen right now! But... she was probably the only bergen in Bergen Town willing to risk her life for them... he turned back to glance at Bridget and Poppy for a moment as Bridget lowered Poppy back down onto the ground, feeling satisfied that Poppy was safe, assuming she would be able to handle this situation on her own and would soon follow, Branch shoved down his worry for Bridget and refocused his attention on helping King Peppy and the rest of the Snack Pack guide everyone safely back to the Troll Tree in the center of town.

"No! Bridget if you go in there without us you know what they'll do!" He heard Poppy cry as he ran, voicing the very same worries that were on his own mind. He could feel his heart leap in his chest, the closer the pair got to one another, the more and more they seemed to work in sync with one another, right down to feeling the same worries and thoughts toward those they cared for. It seems the bright princess and the formerly grumpy grey troll had finally begun to understand one another.
