Gray: Chapter Three

After that incident, Poppy was going up on the elevator to get back to the surface while she was kneeled down crying and burrying her face down.

She arrived at the surface, but didnt expect someone was waiting for her. She got up and looked in front of her seeing..

"C-Creek? W-What are you doing here?" Poppy said with a suprised face. "I should be asking you that" Creek replied with a calm voice.

Poppy was still crying. "I-I tried to help him b-but I saw a horrible thing.." Poppy's voice was weak but Creek listened carefully. "Im sorry Poppy, I should've been there for you" Creek replied with a calm voice again.

Poppy sighed softly and stepped out of the elevator. "Its my fault.. I thought that I could help everyone, but I was wrong.." Poppy apologized out of no where. "Its alright, not everyone doesnt want to be happy" Creek smiled and hugged Poppy. She hugged back thightly. "Now lets get out of here and forget about Branch" Creek said as he let go to Poppy.

Poppy nodded slowly and walked back to Troll Village with Creek.

When they arrived, Poppy immediately headed back to her pod and sleep. She stopped and looked back to Creek, "I just wanted to say thanks for being there" Poppy smiled and Creek smiled back. "From now on, ill be there for you no matter what" Creek replied. Then Poppy went back to her pod.

Poppy got on her bed and stared at the wall thinking about what she saw from Branch. She shook her head, "Tomorrow will be a normal day, I hope" She said to herself, closing her eyes and slept.

Meanwhile with Branch

Branch is sleeping but not peacefully. He kept dreaming about his grandmothers death. He had trouble sleeping and he just sat up on his bed, with his eyes very tired.

Branch felt devastated about his family. He barely remember his mother and father. His grandmother died because of him. He kept blaming himself for everything gone wrong.

He stared at the bloody sharp rock, then at his arms. "This doesnt seem good enough.." he said to himself.

He stoop up to his bed, heading towatds the bloody rock, getting a closer look.

He stared at it for a few minutes then picked it up. He continued cutting more but he cutted his arms deeper than before. Every new cuts, he closed his eyes thightly as he continued cutting. He started crying.

After a few minutes of cutting, he stopped and put the rock down and sat at his bed. He was mentally and physically hurt. "I dont deserve to live, I make everything worst.."

He started thinking about him hurting Poppy. Wondering if she could ever forgive him. But he doesnt think it was possible. But he had a little hope she would. He wanted to head to the Troll Village but he would have alot of attention on trolls, he doesnt like being the center of attention. But its atleast worth a try.

Branch then started trying to find a long sleeve to hide his cuts from his arms.

After few minutes of searching, Branch suddenly remembered Poppy gave him a cloth. He tried remembering where he put it, and remembered he putted it on a shelf.

He went to the shelf and found the long sleeve Poppy gave him. It was a a long, blue colored sleeve. He didnt like the bright of the color, "Its better than nothing". He removed his leaf vest and wore the Blue Sleeve.

He went to the elevator and pulled the lever going heading to the surface. It was 4:27 am hoping Poppy was awake early.

Back to Poppy

Poppy could barely sleep, she kept thinking about Branch's cuts. She kept waking up and going back to sleep every hour. She decided to give up and just lay on her bed quietly.
