Sacrifices

Chapter 7: Getting Out

Hey! Man this story has taken so long to write I swear when I started writing this, I thought I had a boyfriend XD. I gotta finish this story cus I'm developing writers' block... again... so this'll be the last chappie! Here it is! Thanks for being so patient with me throughout this story!


She started to put force down on Branch's chest hoping to get some sort of life from him. "Branch?" Poppy started to cry as she forced all her might into trying to save him. "Branch!?" Her vision was starting to get blurry. She was crying and she gave one last attempt. "Branch, I'm not losing you now no WAY!" She felt one of his ribs crack and it she felt as if it was one of her own. She finally gave up and cried into him but felt one thump as she laid down. Her crying instantly stopped and she listened again.

Two thumps.

He was back! Poppy turned Branch's head to meet her own. "Branch?"

Branch's eyes opened slightly. "Poppy?" His voice crackled but to Poppy it was the most beautiful thing she could've heard. She helped him to his feet and instantly forced herself into him giving him the biggest hug she could've ever given him. She hugged him as if it were a reassurance that he was actually there with her and that he's alive in her arms returning the hug.

"I'm so glad you're ok!" Poppy smiled burying her face in his neck.

"Um. Not to be THAT guy but shouldn't you be outside of this cage? I can't leave" Branch started completely ruining the moment for Poppy. But she wouldn't let that suppress her happiness.

"You can come with me now!" Poppy shouted happily.

"How? I'm poisoned" Branch asked

Poppy informed, "I have the herbs that's been keeping you alive! A whole bunch! Plus I know where they grow! We can use this to cure you!"

"You actually went out of your way to get this for me?" Branch was shocked

"Of course I did! I can't imagine a life without you in it." Poppy started blushing avoiding eye contact. Branch grabbed her hand.

"Thank you so much." Branch started moving his head closer to hers. Poppy noticed what he was doing and started doing the same. Their heads became closer until.

*Kiss*

Poppy opened her eyes with a warm feeling on her forehead but a disappointed feeling in her heart. She wanted to grab him and show him how she felt truly but he was already making his way to the cage door.

They were making their way on the floor towards the entrance but stopped at a corner and saw the large Bergen they feared coming towards Branch's cage.

"HEY!" Chef shouted spotting the duo trying to sneak out. She started marching towards them.

"Run!" The two shouted in unison. They both ducked under a counter so Chef couldn't reach them. They went back to the wall to get as far out if her reach as they could. Chef started sharpening two knifes to try and scare the Trolls. It seemed to be working.

"We can't outrun her! How do we escape?" Branch asked

"I got an idea!" Poppy started whispering her plan to Branch.

"You sure it will work?" Branch asked.

"Positive!" Poppy gave a nervous smile.

"Ok then. GO!" Branch shouted and the two darted out from under the counter between Chef's feet. They made their way through the castle hitting everything trying to make as much noise as possible. They barged into the mail hall in front of the throne. They ran up to the throne and stopped, Chef coming behind them.

"What's going on?" A green Bergen yawned coming into the room. It was King Gristle!

"Your majesty! These Trolls are trying to escape!" Chef exclaimed as the two Trolls stood in front of the king.

"Oh no you don't! We can't let you yummy Trolls leave!" As he went to grab them a voice pierced the air halting everyone's movements

"STOP!" The voice belonged to Bridget.

"How dare you speak over me!?" Chef glared back. She started approaching Bridget about to hit her. Poppy had to speak up.

"King Gristle! That's Ms. Glittersparkles!" She shouted and the room went quiet.

"What?" Chef and the king asked in unison.

"It's true. I just thought you wouldn't like me so I didn't mention it." Bridget admitted. King Gristle went to his throne and held the roller skate in his hands and started to approach Bridget. The shoe fit perfectly.

"I can't believe it!" Chef screamed. She then aimed a knife at Branch and was about to make her move when she felt both her arms behind her back suddenly. "What are you doing!?" Two guards now had her and started to drag her away. into the darkness towards the dungeon.

"Poppy. I can't thank you enough." Bridget looked at Poppy with eyes that showed genuine happiness.

"Same goes for me Poppy" Branch opened up. He kissed her on her forehead again. Poppy had enough of that though. So she just did what her heart told her to do. She pulled his head to hers and clashed their lips together. Their lips molded perfectly together. Poppy had Branch back. She parted and looked at the brave Troll who sacrificed so much for her safety.

"Come on Branch. Let's go home."
