Aftermath: Chapter 4

Two Days Later, 6:00 AM

Branch woke up, yawning. He sat up and stretched his arms. "What day is it?" he asked himself.

And that's what he realized, he'll get casted out to day.

"Oh right! I can finally leave this place today!" He yelled excitedly. He's excited to finally go outside and scold tro-

..No no, that's not it. He could finally meet the other tribes. Ever since Poppy told him about it, he have been curious of how they are, what they are, and who they are. 

Branch decided to wait for the doctor, which would probably be in thirty minutes. He looked at the left side of his bed, the side where he always looks at the window. Few minutes later, he then looked at the side table, a book that Nathan told Poppy to give him. He didn't read what's inside it yet. But while he had the time, he could read it.

Branch grabbed the book, opening the first page. The first thing he saw was the title, 'Lost Brother'. At first he didn't understand why Nathan gave him this. Maybe because he didn't read the book yet. So he turned the page and Chapter 1 appeared. He started reading it.

30 Minutes Later

Branch was already in Chapter 5, he was reading it the whole time. He started understanding why his brother gave him this. He stopped reading when he heard the doorknob shuffle and open. He first saw the doctor, then a pink troll beside him, which was Poppy.

"Alright, Mr. Timberlake," the doctor called as Poppy ran towards Branch and gave him a hug. "You are free to set off the hospital" he let out a smile.

Branch nodded as Poppy let go of him. He pulled the blanket off then moved his legs to the side and stood up. He took a step and almost tripped. Luckily Poppy caught him. Not surprising for ten days of only sitting and laying down. Especially the wound

"You okay? Can you walk?" Poppy asked.

"Yeah, yeah I think I can walk. Just forgot how it feels being alive" Branch joked, lightly chuckling.

Poppy giggled. She'll let Branch walk by himself, if he can at least.

Branch another step and almost tripped again, but quickly got his balance back.

"I think you need walking stic-"

"No! No. I'll be fine" Branch cut Poppy off.

"If you say so.." Poppy said softly.

Branch gestured down at the floor, feeling some slight sweat on his face. He used the wall from his right to support him a little bit. He took a couple steps until he reached the door.

"Oh, I forgot to say, don't overdo it or it might get your vision blurred and tiredness" The doctor instructed.

Branch looked up at the doctor and nodded. "Alright I guess"

The three trolls exited the room and walked through the hallway. The doctor went right ahead while Poppy stayed right by Branch's side.

He was still pretty weak to walk, sadly.

When Branch and Poppy reached the main reception, Branch got used to it already he didn't need the wall to help him anymore.

"I hear that you're well now, that's good" The main receptionist smiled at them. 

"Thanks, Alen" Branch let out a light smile at him. 

He got a nod in response, telling they can go now. They got the sign and walked at the exit door.
