I'm back! Wow! I have over a 1,000 reads. Thank you! I really appreciate it. Knowing people are reading what I write is what makes me keep going. Anyways! You're here to read a story not hear me talk. So let's get a move on.

"Push, come on," Branch told everyone. They were all pushing the giant boulder that was blocking the entrance. It was slowly moving, slow but moving.

"Almost there," Poppy comment. The boulder finally moved enough for everyone to slip in," Yes!"

Poppy was the first to get inside. Then the twins, Cooper, Guy Dimond, Fuzzbert and Smidge.

"What's wrong?" Branch asked Biggie. He seemed too afraid to walk into the cave.

"It's dark," Biggie was shaking and hugging onto Mr Dinkles even tighter.

"It'll be ok Biggie," Poppy came back out and held onto Biggies hand," We'll be with you through every thing, ok?"

Biggie shook his head yes quickly. Poppy guided him into the cave followed by Branch. The moment he went in, he gasped in terror. Tons of sleeping night hunters were laying all over the cave floor.

"I…. Ih….. I….. I c… ccc…" Biggie was starting to hyperventilate. He fanned himself with his hand as fast as he could but that didn't stop the tears.

"Shh shh Biggie relax," Poppy tried to calm him down," As long as we don't wake them up, We'll be fine. Follow our foot steps."

"O… yea .. . ok," Biggie agreed.

Everyone started to make there way to the other side of the cave.

"Suki?!" Poppy whispered her name. She didn't want to wake up any night hunters.

"Suki where are you?" Guy Dimond whispered. He tip toed over all the long legs, not wanting to step on any of them.

"Suki, where you at girl?" Cooper looked around. The sight of all the small bones stuck on the ceiling send him chills down his spine.

"Eww, Don't they ever clean?" Satin wasn't just stepping over the creatures, but she was attempting to not even touch all the yellow, sticky puddles everywhere. Chenille accidentally stepped into a puddle.

"Ewwwww it's so sticky, what is it?"

"It's sap," Branch walked by her.

Chenille tried to walk away but the sap glued her down.

"Need help?" Guy Dimond grabbed onto her and pulled her out.

"Thanks," Chenille thanked.

" where is she," Biggie wanted to get out of the cave immediately. A night hunter suddenly rolled over and wrapped it's arm around Biggie. It was about to pull him down but the poor troll couldn't keep it in," AH! Get him off!"

Biggie screamed. He pulled away from the creature. The thing started to open it's eyes.

"Sleep," Poppy sprayed the night hunter. Luckily it went to sleep with no problem.

"Biggie relax," The twins whispered to Biggie. He was on the floor, cradling himself and Mr Dinkles.

"I can't take it anymore! The pressure is killing me!" Biggie whispered and yelled. He was starting to cry tears from all the pressure on him," leave me here, throw me overboard while you still have the chance!"

"No no, Biggie breath, breath," Poppy kneeled down to him," Everything will be ok."

"I'll only jeopardize the mission, just leave me some food and water, here take Mr Dinkles, he deserves a better life," Biggie handed his pet worm to Branch.

"Um….. Ok….." Branch held onto Mr Dinkles as he took out a paper bag from his backpack," breath into this."

Biggie took the bag and started breathing into rapidly.

"Y…. Yea prefect," Branch shook off the fact that he was about to pop the paper bag.

"Let go!" a female voice encoded in the cave.

"Hey look!" Cooper was at the other side of the cave. He had his head in a gap between some rocks.

"What is it?" Poppy walked up behind him. Cooper moved away letting the queen take a look.

The giant night hunter queen was throwing in ingredients into the boiling water, this time, there was a spinner in it, mixing in everything.

"Hahaha, a cup of oil" Queen Midnight was slowly pouring some oil onto Suki, who was still tied up and sitting on the platform next to the boiling water. The queen took out some seasonings and sprinkled it all over her," Oooo can't wait for my first troll dinner!"

"Can't trolls go through a day without something wanting to eat them?" Suki asked to no one particular. She struggled to get free but the queen wouldn't let her go.

" After mixing you in, I'll be sure to save your bones as a reminder of this day," Queen Midnight cheered.

"What?!" Suki was traumatized by her words.

"Poor Sukie," Poppy backed away. She thought for a moment before pushing onto the giant boulder," Help me out."

The snack pack pushed the boulder with her. Again, a small entrance formed, and they snuck into the room.

"Help! Someone help!" Suki cried out.

"Awe, crying for help, How sad," Queen Midnight placed a stick beneath the platform Suki was on," But not as sad as being weak from hunger!"

Queen Midnight started to push onto the stick causing the platform to rise and tilt. It was some kind of home made machine. Each push would make the platform rise higher and tilt more.

"No no no!" Suki tried pushing herself up but all the oil that the queen put on her only made things difficult.

"Any last words!?" The queen asked as she kept pushing Suki into the water. Suki didn't say anything beside scream as she was slipping into the hot water," Here… You… go!"

Queen Midnight was about to give one last push and have her meal until she heard something.

"Ow! What the…." The 2 guards that were walking around, got knocked down to the ground. The queen, curious of what happened, left the troll by herself and walked over to her guards. Suki on the other hand, was slipping down straight into the pot, thanks to the oil she was drench in.

"What happened?!" the queen asked in a bit of anger.

"T…. llll…. Sleep," One night hunter fell to the ground.

"What?" The queen looked at her other guard, who was just as drowsey as the first.

" There.. …. Here," is all he was able to say before falling to the ground as well.

"Wake up!" the queen lifted the night hunter that just fell asleep," who's here?!"

"Mommy," The night hunter sighed.

"Tell me!" the queen shook him.

While she was trying to wake up her guards, Suki was inches away from her death. Her feet were already hanging off the platform, and the rest of her was about to go in.

"No no, help!" Suki tried to move herself up but it was no use to struggle. She was going in either she liked it or not.

"Oh no you don't," Cooper leaned in and bit down on her shirt, preventing her from falling into the water. He pulled her up and off the stone platform.

"Suki you're ok," Poppy hugged her friend.

"You guys came," Suki was over joyed.

"Of course, no troll left behind," Poppy cheered.

"Yea yea, come on, let's get out of here," Branch hurried up everyone. Poppy untied the ropes behind Suki, setting her free.

"Can't any of you talk!?" the queen was getting irritated with the guards lack of corporation.

"5 more minutes," a night hunter rolled over on the ground and fell asleep.

"You will not keep me waiting for five more minutes, tell me!" Queen Midnight pulled a night hunter above her and shook him. That's when she saw it. A reflection on the blue crystals. It revealed a group of trolls leaving the cave. The queen gasped before immediately turning around. She didn't see them anymore.

"Trolls! Guards! Someone!" Queen Midnight ran over to the entrance and rolled the boulder over. The trolls jumped in fear at the queen's entrance.

"RUN!" Poppy cried out. No one wasted a second on running to the exit.

"You idiots, wake up!" Queen Midnight kicked a night hunter awake," Get them!"

The night hunter screeched causing everyone else to wake up. They all looked at the exit where the trolls were escaping.

"There awake there awake!" Biggie pushed everyone out onto a pile, including him.

"Come on let's go!" Branch slipped out of the pile and ran off.

"Wait up!" Poppy ran behind him.

"I don't want to die!".

"Hurry!"

"Yolo!"

One by one, the snack pack got up and ran into the forest. One night hunter didn't even bother on rolling over the boulder. He pushed it down and landed right where the snack pack was. All the night hunters flew out, in search for their colorful meal.

"Can anyone see them?!" Poppy looked her at all her friends. Biggie looked up behind him and was just able to see some flying over the trees.

"They're coming!" Biggie ran faster.

While running, Branch spied a spot with tall looking grass beside them.

"This way!" he cried out as he took a turn. Everyone followed him, some slipped and slide on the wet mud when they turned. They were running and splashing through a giant body of green like water.

"Ew dirty water, ew dirty water!" Satin repeated to herself. She didn't like the cold dirty water but she also didn't like being turned to dinner. Branch pulled some grass over letting the group run in.

"Come on come on come on," Branch hurried them. He looked back to see the night hunters emerging out of the trees. He quickly ran in behind the others.

"ok everyone stay in a group!" Branch turned to them, but soon realized everyone was gone. He stared at the grass before him, blinking a few times," Oh no."

"Aaaahhh!" Biggie ran alone in the maze of tall grass. He can hear the buzzing of the creatures above him, getting closer to where he was.

"Mew!" Mr Dinkles warned. Biggie looked up and spotted a incoming night hunter. Biggie yelped and stop in his tracks before the the night hunter could land on him.

"Eh….. Um…. Hi," Biggie slowly backed away. The night hunter responded with a loud squeal causing Biggie to cry.

"Mew," Mr Dinkles told him.

"Huh, oh right!" Biggie grabbed onto his defense weapon and aimed it at the night hunter. The night hunter walked forward to Biggie and was just about to grab him. This only caused Biggie to shake more, he couldn't concentrate, he was petrified.

"Mew!" Mr Dinkles pushed his head onto the handle making the poppy scent spray all over the creature. The night hunter backed away immediately, trying to shake off the scent. He shook his head hard enough to get rid of the smell and stay awake, but by the time he did, the chubby blue troll was gone.

"This way!" Satin ran to the right.

"No this way!" Chenille ran the left. The two girls pulled onto each other, trying to convince the other twin to go their way.

"You're not cooperating!" Satin shouted as she pulled.

"You're not cooperating!" Chenille pulled harder onto their hair. The girls then noticed a shadow above them, getting bigger every second. They didn't need to look up to know what was coming. The twins screamed and ran in place, pulling onto each other.

"Get over here!" Poppy pulled the two girls away right when the night hunter landed in the spot they were on. It looked around, trying to find the girls he just saw. It saw nothing but grass and bodies of water everywhere. He swore he saw something out of place.

"It knows," Chenille half yelled, half whispered. The twins and Poppy were both hugging onto each other in fear as they watched from the inside of Poppys hair. She had camouflaged to look like a regular rock, sitting in the water. The giant creature walk around, in search for them.

"Just stay quit," Poppy whispered. The night hunter started to pull back pieces of grass, hoping to find them.

"Please don't come here please don't," The girls whispered. The night hunter walked closer to them, pulling aside more tall grass. It finally made it to the girls, who were all shaking in fear and praying that the creature doesn't see them or even touch Poppys hair. Thankfully, it stepped over them and walked away from them.

"Is it gone?" Satin asked as she looked around.

"I think so," Poppy pulled her hair back into place, cautiously looking around," Let's go."

The girls ran away.

"Why are they after us!?" Smidge shouted. She was running away with Fuzzbert behind her because the night hunters were chasing after them from above. Fuzzbert started shouting something out, warning Smidge about something from above. Smidge looked up and spotted a night hunter diving to them," DUCK!"

The two threw themselves into the water causing the night hunter to miss them by inches. The two lifted their heads back up the water.

"Come on, this way!" Smidge ran through some thick grass. Before Fuzzbert can follow her, Smidge came back screaming, and splashing" Other way, other way!"

A night hunter emerged from the grass, startling poor Fuzzbert. He turned back around and followed Smidge to where ever she was going.

"AAAHHHHHHH!" Cooper and Suki were both screaming inside a small hole in the lower part of a tree. Luckless for the two, they were found and chased by a night hunter. It was banging against the bark of the tree trying to get it's hands on the trolls.

"Help help help!" The two cried out.

Branch was running around the swamp, rabidly looking for everyone.

"Poppy!? Smidge?! Cooper!? DJ!" Branch cried out. He ran straight and found himself out of the considerable group of grass and into the open. He was disappointment at the fact that he couldn't find any of his friends.

"Some one help!" Sukis voice caught his ear.

"We're going to die!" Cooper shouted.

Branch got a bag out and ran up to the creature.

"I'm dead, I'm so dead!" Suki sounded like she was about to cry.

"Hey you over sized pest!" Branch caught the night hunters attention. He didn't waste the opportunity, he took a ball like weapon and threw it at the creature. It exploded the poppy scent all over him. The creature backed away from the tree. He took out some more of the balls and threw them.

"What the….." Cooper looked out the tree.

"Get back!" Branch continued to throw the exploding balls. The night hunter finally fell down and slept.

"When did you make those things?" Cooper was referring to the little balls he threw.

"When ever we took a break, I work fast," Branch told him.

"Out of the way! Little troll wants to survive!" Smidge came out running along with Fuzzbert. She ran past everyone but Branch didn't let her.

"Smidge!" Branch grabbed her by her bow and pulled her back," where are the others?!"

"I'm gonna die, I'm gonna die!" Biggie came out covered in leaves and stray pieces of grass.

"Biggie, is everything ok?!" Branch ran up to the nervous boy.

"I….. I almost died," Biggie started to cry.

"Aaahhhhh!" Guy Dimond ran out screaming before bumping into Biggie and falling," Night hunters! Night hunters everywhere!"

The glitter boy was panicking.

"I'm not being dinner tonight!" Satin, Chenille and Poppy came out running. Poppy was at the end of the line and tripped over the cold water.

"Poppy, are you alright?" Branch helped her up.

"Yea, We barely got away from the night hunters," Poppy was catching her breath.

"What were you all thinking! Separating like that!?" Branch shouted at everyone.

"Now's not the time Branch, we need to go!" Poppy grabbed onto Branches arm and pulled him away with the others following them. Half the night hunters were still searching for the trolls in the field of grass while the other half spotted them running away. They followed the trolls in the air, determined to capture them. Biggie was the first to see them.

"Th….. There coming!" Biggie ran faster. He zoomed from last in line to third in line. The trolls eventually ran under a log that was too small for the night hunters to crawl in. The snack pack took heavy breaths and collapsed onto the ground in the log.

"Safe," Poppy whispered. There was a sudden shake to the log and a shadow covering the light.

"They're going to get us!" Biggie cried out. Everyone panicked and screamed in fear. They were hugging each other in one group, fearing what will happen.

"Everyone calm down! They won't get us!" Branch tried to assure the group. But his claims were instantly debunked when night hunters started to crack the log.

"You were saying!" Satin shouted.

"Criticize me later! Start rolling!" Branch commanded. He and the snack pack got onto their feet and started rolling the log away the giant insects. They couldn't see where they were going but as long as they were away from the night hunters, they were more than happy. Without knowing it, the trolls rolled over to a downhill slope. The log rolled faster and bounced up and down, causing the trolls on the inside to start losing balance.

"I can't take it anymore!" Satin fell and got thrown around, pulling Chenille in the process.

"Watch it!" Gut Diamond jumped over the girls but it wasn't long until the twins took Guy Diamond with them. The three then landed on Smidge and Fuzzbert, making them trip and fall as well.

"Oh my gah!" Smidge pulled DJ Suki with her but of course Suki pulled Cooper along too. With so many trolls now rolling around, it was only a matter of time until Poppy and Branch joined them in their cycle of pain. They all shouted in fear as they rolled down a very bumpy hill. The log was then launched up and landed with a crash. Making the log break into pieces. Fortunately, All the trolls landed on the same pieces and kept sliding down the mucky hill.

"Everyone hang on!" Branch shouted. He looked back behind them to see how far the night hunters were. A few feet away and gaining," Oh no!"

"There catching up!" Poppy shouted. A night hunter was diving to them, and gained speed at every second it was in the air. Everyone screamed again, thinking they were going to be caught. Right when it seemed liked the night hunter was about to catch them, Guy Dimond bravely jumped up, sprinkling glitter all over.

"Eat glitter!" He shouted as his glitter sprinkled into the night hunters eyes. The night hunter was blinded by all the sparkles and crashed into a incoming tree. The snack pack clapped and cheered for their glittery friend.

"Whoohoo! You go Guy Diamond!" Chenille cheered.

"Thank you my lady," Guy Dimond smiled and bow but their celebration was cut short.

"ROCK!" Smidge pointed out. It was true. They were headed straight for a rock. Everyone screamed once again in fear. The piece of wood crashed into the rock, launching all ten trolls into the air. They hit the ground and rolled the rest of the way down hill, into some trees and bushes. All the night hunters landed where they saw the trolls fall. They looked around for them but it seemed as if they just disappeared without a trace. After for what seemed like 5 minutes, all night hunters retreated back to their home. They'll be able to see better in the dark anyways. Once they left, Branch changed his leaf like hair back into his indigo color. He looked around making sure no night hunter was left behind.

"All right! coats is clear!" He told the others.

" That was close," Poppy came out of a tree branch," Too close."

"At least we lived," Satin and Chenille were camouflaged as flowers. One by one, the rest of the snack pack revealed themselves to each other.

"Now that's over with, we need to go back home," Branch told everyone.

"And clear up the bergans name!" Poppy chimed.

"That too," Branch smiled. They all made their way back to their home at the troll tree.

- - In the forest - -

"Did you all see me?!" Guy Dimond was talking about what just happened," That night hunter was just about to get us, but i showed him huh!"

Everyone was laughing and telling each other about the recent event. All besides Suki. She was at the back of the group, focused on the map she took from the cave.

"Something wrong?" Poppy noticed her best friend wasn't talking much.

"Yes…. I mean no… actually… I don't know," Suki sighed. She tilted the map so her queen can see too," You see this?"

Poppy leaned in closer to the map. She noticed all the red markings it had all over it.

"Yea, what about it?" Poppy asked in curiosity.

"This is a map of the forest, They had one just like it, painted on the walls with X marks everywhere and a huge circle mark around bergen town," Suki started to explain, she flipped over the map," And look at this, what is this writing?"

"Hey, Branch and I saw this writing when we read about them!" Poppy claimed. She took out a pieces of paper out of her hair and unfolded it,"See?"

DJ Suki looked at the paper then back to the map. The paper Poppy had seemed to be translating the night hunters writing.

"Huh, it matches," Suki comment. Poppy took out a pencil from her hair and started writing something down.

"That one looks like a… A and that looks like a T….." Poppy started to write down what the writing can mean.

"Heres another A," Suki was looking back and forth from their papers, trying to help translate.

"That's a K," Poppy wrote down.

"J write here," Suki comment. After a while of writing and thinking, the girls finally had what they wanted, well, not exactly. What Poppy and Suki had written down was the exact opposite of what they wanted. On Poppys paper were the translated words that said,

"Attack and feast on trolls on January 22!" The girls gasped in shocked at this news.

"Today is January 22!" Suki told Poppy.

"BRANCH!" Poppy ran up to the survivalist.

Wow! This story is over 3000 words! Well I guess I was just happy at the fact that people are actually reading this. Thank you so much for reading, I really appreciate it. Next chapter just might be the final chapter. So see you next time!
