Redemption?: Chapter 1

Branch's Side:

"No.. You don't have to blame yourself Nathan" Branch frowned, pulling his brother onto hug.

"Yeah Nate, I'm the one to blame" their father said, looking right into his older son, then at Branch, frowning.
"I was the one who planned on leaving without you.."

Branch sighed, letting go off his brother then looked at his father.
"No. Stop. It's never anyone's fault. The bergens used to be our terror from the past, and you just wanted to be free from them. I'm just happy seeing you all again, and alive. All of those was the past, I just wanted to find out the truth"

Branch's family looked at him with a smile on their face.

Branch was surprised at first, but then returned the hug.
"I love you guys"

Poppy's Side:

When both of the trolls reached the dungeon, Branch threw Poppy on the cell and closed the cage.

Poppy looked at Branch in fear as he stares at her with his now glowing red eyes and furrowed brows.
He grunted, walking away back to the royal room.

Poppy went to the back of the cell and hugged her legs.
She started sobbing.
"Branch, please.. I need you.."

Back to Branch:

Branch gasps and suddenly realizes.
"Hey um.. I don't want to break the hug and stay like this forever. But.."

The four trolls released each other from the hug, having everyones attention on Branch.

"I really need your help on this. You know Poppy, right?" even saying her name, it makes Branch even more worried about her.

"We're sorry but we don't know" his mother replied, frowning a bit.

"Well, she's the queen of the village plus my-" Branch hesitated a bit to say it.

"Your what?" Nathan insisted for Branch to continue, leaning a bit closer to him.

"My girlfriend" he mumbled the word, looking away after.

"Your what?!" the three trolls yelled in unison.

"It doesnt matter right now!" Branch replied. "All I need is your help.. She got sucked into a wormhole and- I would've been able to save her.. B-But I-I wasnt fast enough to.." he let out a bit of tears, immediately wiping them out of his face, sniffling.

"No Branch, you don't have to blame yourself. Nothing is your fault, and nothing ever was" Nathan layed his hand on Branch's shoulder, looking at him right on the eyes, saying that it's okay.
"And for sure, Poppy is still alive right? Since she only got sucked on a wormhole" he continued.

"Yeah but.. Who knows where she ended up" Branch clenched both his hand together.
"I-It might be in a terrible, horrible, scary, a-and probably even worse than a nightmare!" he started freaking out, placing both his hands on Nathan's shoulder, shaking him in panic.

Nathan immediately pulled Branch into a hug, trying to calm him down. "Calm down, Branch. Calm down.. She's gonna be okay, alright?"

Branch returned back the hug, crying. It's been a while ever since he showed this much affection to anyone. But it's also been a while since he felt comfortable and to his emotions plus unable to control it.
But of course he also does this towards Poppy when they were alone at her pod sometimes. He loved her company.
He always thought everyone would make fun of him because of his emotions, but ever since he did that back from the pot, he felt more free.

Jack suddenly stood up, about to exit the room.

"Where are you going?" Rose asked as Branch and Nathan broke their hug.

"Where else? We're going to save our sons future wife and unborn children" Jack replied in a dedicated tone.

At this, Rose facepalmed at the last part of his line.

"Dad, are you seriously going that far off the future?" Nathan gave his father an 'are you serious' look.

"What's the problem with having grandchildren?" Jack pouted as he turned around, facing Nathan.

Nathan rolled his eyes with a smirk. "But yeah, lets go save-" he suddenly stopped when he stood up.
"What was her name again?" he looked back down at Branch.

"Poppy. Her name is Poppy" Branch replied as he playfully rolled his eyes.

"Let's go save Poppy!" Nathan yelled excitedly.

"Yeah!!"

Back to Poppy:

Poppy didn't know what to do. She had no way out, no where go, no where to be save in this world. She can only hoped for her Branch to save her, or something miracle would happen.

She just waited for something to happen. Anything, just anything that would be good for once.
She just stayed at the dark side of the corner.

All in her mind is Branch. Not the current Branch from the different dimension she's in, her Branch. He was always right by her side, comforting, and his safety paranoid side. It was somewhat annoying, but it proves he cares, which Poppy loved.

The Branch in this dimension was somewhat the same as him, just more aggressive. Poppy understood that he was under control, so she couldn't blame him.

"Hey, you got caught too?" a mysterious voice said.

"Huh?" Poppy got her attention on the voice. She got up and got closer to the cage. "Who said that?"

She looked through the other cell in front of her own. Suddenly revealed a blue fish-liked troll.

"Name's Trollex, king of the techno trolls, but also from a different dimension. What's yours?" the blue fish-troll let out a smile as he says it.

Poppy smiled a bit, with her eyebrows lowered. "Poppy, queen of- wait, techno trolls?" she immediately got confused. What did he mean by techno?

"It's my type of music. You don't know?" Trollex raised a brow and tilted his head.

"Your type of music? There's different kinds?" Poppy asked again. She didn't know any of this, her dad never mentioned about different types of music.

"Yeah. Basically there are six of them. Techno, Funk, Classical, Country, Pop, and Rock. And judging by your appearance, you're a pop troll" Trollex answered while he pulled one finger when he mention one type of music, then he scanned closer toward Poppy.

Poppy didn't understood one bit about the types of music, but she decide to roll with it. "Then, I'm the queen of pop trolls, also from a different dimension" She smiled a bit. "How did you end up here too?"

"Well, It's a long story. I don't really do backstories much" Trollex replied, scratching his back neck.

"Have you find a way to escape this place and come back to our original dimension?"

"If I would, I would've leave this scary place immediately"

"I guess so.." Poppy looked down, frowning a bit.

"Hey, it'll be okay, Poppy. We'll be back to our home soon enough" Trollex tried to reassure her.

Poppy looked back up at Trollex.
"Yeah, we will!"
