After creek took poppy's cow bell Chef easily lifted and cage and empty he trolls into a large cook pot before getting ready to head out back to the forest leaving the pot in the kitchen latched up.

King peppy and the other trolls were all curled up in Hickory's tree house waiting to hear from their beloved princess. they had been there for days and for trolls that normally party and make noise it felt like forever of sitting in silence. That's when they heard it, a familiar sound they have heard so many times for the last 20 years.

ding!....ding!....ding!...ding!....ding!

"that's poppy's cowbell"King Peppy whispered in relief before all the trolls started flooding out of the tree house and running in the direction of the bell.

"they did it! Poppy and hickory did it"! Peppy cheered as they turned the bend around some bushes and came to where the bell was being rung only to stop short at who they saw with poppy's cowbell. Standing on a large mushroom above them ringing the cowbell was none other then creek, he said nothing as he stood there with a smile looking down at them, the other trolls glanced around to hopefully see Poppy or Hickory or any of the others that were taken but no one, Just creek.

"creek"? Peppy wondered quietly as creek simply dropped the bell and stick before shrugging and assuming his regular yoga pose, this brought the trolls attention to what was holding creek up. A dark gray purple hand lifted creek by his hair gently and placed him on the shoulder of none other then.

"uh-oh" Peppy said in fear as he and the others stared in horror at the five bergens grinning down at them before they opened their packs ad reached for the trolls.

Back in bergen town, All the bergens made their way to the castle ready for the big feast happening tonight! after so long they will finally be able to taste trolls again, some couldn't even remember what the taste was like while others talked in bliss about how wonderful it was and impossible to describe.

As the bergens walked into the castle Gristle stood at the door way holding a bright yellow roller skate and looking down the steps leading up to his castle with hope in his eyes.

The castle's kitchen was also full of busy activity as the cook's rushed around preparing meals for the bergens to happily eat after the main course, no one batted an eye as chef slammed down a large familiar pot, The old troll pot used for so many years on trollstice.

"now let's prepare the main course"! Chef announced as she opened the lid and her four assistants came forward opening their packs.

"The Trolls"! Chef jeered as she and the four other bergen's slipped all the collected trolls into the large pot until everyone single one except creek was now laying on the cold metal of the pot, which then Chef closed the lid and locked it in place. There was no way for the troll's inside could open it and escape.

"poppy thank goodness you're alright"! King peppy stood from where he landed on the ground when he saw poppy standing sadly near by and rant to her hugging his daughter tightly while she just frowned sadly.

"I'm doing great, I got everyone I loved thrown in a pot thanks for asking" Poppy grumbled moving away from her father to face away from him, the other troll's stared at her in shock as they had never heard her talk like that before.

"poppy...are you being...sarcastic" Biggie asked slowly staring at his friend in worry.

"Yes"! Poppy turned and said in a loud voice causing the trolls around her to gasp and smidge to say her usual 'oh my god'.

"I'm sorry, I don't know why I thought I could save you" Poppy told them her voice flowing with sadness as everyone stared at her in sad silence.

"All I wanted to do was keep everyone safe like you did dad but I couldn't" Poppy's face scrunched up as she tried to keep the tears back, it broke everyone's heart to see her like this and hear her talk with such sadness instead of her usual happiness.
