TROLL STORIES

Chapter 3.

Branch was in bed after the noon incident, his worried grandmother was by his side sobbing while he seemed to have no strength, his friend Hickory was also by his side with a worried face.
—Branch, bro! What happened? Your grandmother called me worried because she said you almost lost your life in the well! —Hickory said concerned as she took a seat on the bed.

—Hickory —Branch said quietly— I don't know, I got dizzy —He looked very tired and gasping for air.

—Branch almost passed away, no, if you die I'll kill you, everyone in town would miss you too much —Hickory scolded in a worried but mocking tone to ease the tension that was beginning to build, Branch laughed a little before such a comment.

—But if I die, how the hell are you going to kill me? Fool! Nothing will happen to me, I'll be here to remind you who is the best —Branch tried to sit down, but the fatigue was such that he couldn't even do so.

—Easy bro, not so fast that you barely managed to live, just rest —Hickory pushed Branch gently to rest.

—True Branch, you rest, you work from sunrise to sunset, you deserve to rest —The grandmother lovingly stroked Branch's black hair.

—But grandma, I need to take care of you, besides I couldn't make you lunch for this —Branch was more concerned for his grandmother than for himself.

—Don't worry Branch, that's what friends are for, your grandmother and I will go to my house so you can get enough rest and she can have fun talking to my mother. What does Grandma Rosie say? We will visit my mother and have a great time, in the evening we will return —Hickory made the invitation to Grandma.

—Are you sure my Branch won't need us? I feel like I shouldn't leave him alone —Grandma didn't want to leave Branch alone.

—Grandma, Branch is old now, don't worry! Lest a beautiful and wicked woman appear and take advantage of your innocence —Hickory started joking to get the worry out of Grandma's mind.
—Hickory! —Branch complained annoyed.

—In that case we go, because I already want great-grandchildren —Grandma laughed, the jokes worked.

—Grandma, look what you did Hickory, now my grandmother is making jokes! —Branch slowly crossed his arms as he frowned.

—How easy it is to get angry, well, come on Grandma, let's let sleeping beauty rest —Hickory took Grandma's chair to go.

—Rest —Grandma kissed her grandson goodbye on the forehead before leaving.

At last he was left alone and was able to complain at ease without worrying those present, since he remembered he always tried to be active and strong to take care of his grandmother, in each fall he always made sure to regain his strength and be on his feet. nothing stopped him, but he did not understand how now he was without strength, he was so tired, he did not understand the dream he had inside the well, it felt so real, the image of that girl was so engraved in his mind; the fragment of a memory came back to him suddenly.

"—One day, when you are older, I will go find you and you will release me from my prison."

" —I understand ... And when you find me, will you marry me?"

Those memories came back to him so suddenly that it gave him a headache. Could it be that what you always thought was a fantasy actually happened? It couldn't be like that.

—It was just a dream —he told himself aloud, although it was only a dream, he was still captivated by the beauty of that girl… Poppy? I think that was her name, she was so beautiful that he felt intoxicated by the sensation of imagining her —Poppy— he said quietly to himself and then closed his eyes.

He felt a presence at his side, a strange warmth that snuggled up next to him, it didn't feel like anything he had ever experienced before, it didn't feel like the times he ran into his grandmother's lap and was protected by her, this warm touch Was it different, smelled good, and was it maddening? If he were not so weak, it would correspond to the female body that meandered in a sensual way as she placed herself on him and caressed him from all sides, it felt so good and gave peace to his soul, suddenly he felt that feminine presence gave him slow kisses and intense on his neck, they slowly rose up his cheek until they reached his ear and he gave him a small lick, he felt himself melt at such an action, a smile of satisfaction was drawn on Branch's face, he had never felt like this in his Entire life.

—So here's your weak point, huh? Come with me to the lake and I will make you happy, we made a promise —spoke the woman who was giving him so much pleasure.

—The promise of the lake? —Branch tried to remember such a promise while letting that presence give him those fiery caresses, suddenly sanity returned to him as if he had received a stone. Who the hell was with him?

—WHAT...!? —Branch's eyes snapped open and he sat down quickly on the bed. What the hell had that been? When he looked through one of his windows he realized that it was already night —Wow, I had not had dreams like that since I was 13 years old— he said surprised trying to convince himself that it was just a simple dream, he ignored the trace of heat he had about him and the moisture in his ear; feeling better and recovered he tried to stand up but the small bulge in his pants was a problem but it was nothing compared to the face that was about to burst out laughing that was on the other side of the window, it was Hickory who was looking at him about to burst into laughter.

—What were you dreaming of? —Hickory stifled his laughter.

—What the hell are you doing spying!? —Branch grabbed a pillow to cover himself.

—We went back to your grandmother and I decided to look out the window to see if you had woken up but I heard you very" comfortable "dreaming, we'd better come back tomorrow and I'll leave you comfortable with your sleep —Hickory could no longer bear to laugh.

—Wait, Hickory, never tell my grandmother! —Branch approached the window covering himself with the pillow to stop Hickory, saw him walk away to go with the grandmother who stayed at the entrance of the house.

—Apparently the evil woman appeared ... Pfff ... HAHAHAHA —Hickory left laughing out loud.

—COME BACK HERE, IDIOT, DON'T SAY ANYTHING! —Branch threatened Hickory in vain because he had already left with Grandma.
