The Last Summer Vacation

chapter 3

"You need to leave this place" it said.

It startled branch a little Barb was right it could talk but branch ignored it it was probably just his imagination, right?

Branch walked back to camp with the wood need to build a fire.

"Branch are you ok? You were gone for a very long time" Poppy said worriedly.

"Yes im fine I just got...distracted."

"Oh ok well let's make the fire so we can roast marshmallows!" Poppy happily said before she grabbed Branches hand and dragged him to join thier friends.

Branch sat in the middle of a little area surrounded by logs with trolls sitting on them. When branch tried starting the fire and it got big enough it went out. Branch tried 3 more times but every time it went out.
Everytroll looked at eachother confused.

"I dont know much about fire but i do think its supposed to do that" Trollex said.

"No its not" Barb replied.

"Uh Branch, whats happening?" Poppy asked

"I dont know" he replied

Then a strong wind blew so hard the trolls started to lift of the ground. Then Cookie flew out of the tent poppy was going to sleep in.

"You brought the cat?!" Branch yelled.

"His name is cookie and YES I DID!" Poppy yelled back while grabbing cookie.

"Now is not the time for arguing" Barb said.

They all tried to grab for eachother and once they had grabbed everyone they held echother tight and The weight kept them down.

Once they were on the ground they hugged eachother in one big group hug but branch squeezed the life out of poppy.

The wind stopped blowing but Branch kept holding onto poppy.

"WERE ALL GONNA DIEEEE" Branch yelled.

"Branch..." poppy said

Branch cleared his throat"oh yeah, can I stay here for a little longer?"

"Sure" poppy patted his head.

Branch slid down to hug poppys leg like a child.

everytroll (except poppy and branch) cleaned up the place.

...20 minutes later...

"Branch, I need you to let go." Poppy said.

"alright alright" branch said as he let go of poppys leg.

"We will camp here tonight and leave tomorrow morning " Branch said.

They set camp back up and headed to bed with a mysterious figure watching them.
