As the Trolls walked, Poppy began to feel uneasy and squeezed Branch's hand. Branch looked at Poppy in a worry

"Something doesn't feel right." Poppy said

"What do you mean?" Branch asked

"I don't know.." Poppy said

Nearby Cole was saw the Trolls. He saw Barb and immediately hated his decision

"I'm sorry..." Cole whispered

Cole threw a rock at the snake, waking it up. The snake saw the Trolls and immediately attacked

Branch and the others ran somewhere to hide. Cole watched them in guilt. Hating his actions and choices

Barb tripped and fell as her leg got trapped in a vine, both Knox and Barb tried to get the vine off. The snake lunges towards them

Poppy got in front of them and started to glow and fought the snake. Knox got the vine off of Barbs leg as they ran to the others

Poppy got bit by the snake as she screamed in pain. Branch went to her side. He took out a stick from his hair and went to attack the snake

Poppy managed to shoot a pink arrow from her fingers. The arrow hit the snake as it became glitter on impact. The snake immediately slithered away

Poppy panted. Branch immediately dropped the stick and slid to her side. Poppy groaned and tried to sit up

"Branch, I don't feel so good." Poppy said

Branch then noticed an tooth from the snake. Branch took it out and examined it as everyone came out of hiding

"It's poisoned.." Branch said

Poppy began to sweat and shiver. She tried to focused powers but her vision became blurry. Poppy could barely stand as she struggled to stay awake

"Cybil, keep Poppy warm. The rest of you bring her some water." Branch said

Cybil went to his sisters side as everyone else walked off

"Gosh you're freezing. Here.." Cybil spoke

Cybil took his vest off, leaving him completely shirtless. He put his vest on Poppy to help warm her up

"Everything will be ok." Cybil said

Poppy looked at him as she shivered

Cybil sat beside her

"Just look forward. Everything will be just fine." Cybil smirked

Cybil covered Poppy in a blanket he had taken out of his hair

"When I was younger and I hated fun. I was always looking back on what I should have done." Cybil sang

"I used to live my life in fear. Of the terrible performances that brought me here." Cybil sang

"But, I'm looking forward, I'm looking forward, I'm looking forward now." He sang

"I'm looking forward, I'm looking forward, I'm looking forward now." Cybil sang

"It's hard to live your life in stride. When you feel the way I always used to feel inside." Cybil sang

"Now it's so easy that it's strange. I'm a Troll and the Troll that I am can change." Cybil sang

"So, I'm looking forward, I'm looking forward, I'm looking forward now." Cybil sang

"I'm looking forward, I'm looking forward, I'm looking forward now." Cybil sang

Poppy put her head on Cybil's shoulder as the two smiled at each other

———————————————

Branch saw a marigold flower. He picked it and went back to everyone else. Branch made the flower into tea and gave it Poppy

Knox poked Poppy trying to wake her up. Barb picked Knox up for him to leave Poppy alone

Branch pet Poppy's hair gently

Soon, Poppy woke up and looked at everyone. Branch checked on Poppy and was absolutely thrilled that Poppy was ok. He hugged her

The Trolls heard kissing as Barb and Guy covered Knox and Tiny's eyes

Cole meanwhile watched and stared in awe. He knew Violet wasn't going to be so thrilled

————————————————

Meanwhile, Violet was looking at a picture of Cybil she had. She couldn't help but smile as she stared at it

Cole came into the room and fiddled with his fingers

"Uhh Violet. You're not gonna be so happy about this, but the Trolls survived. Poppy took that serpent down with no problem thanks to her friends." Cole said

Cole smiled at the thought of Barb

Violet groaned annoyed and threw all her stuff off her desk

"Poppy's stronger than I thought, but it doesn't matter. There will surely be more coming their way. That'll stop Poppy for sure." Violet said

Cole's smile disappeared as he sighed

"Yeah... I'll get on that.." Cole said

Cole walked away. As Violet had multiple ideas to stop the Trolls for sure
