"POPPY!" Branch shouted ignoring his pain he rushed over to the ledge. His eyes scanned the fast moving water for any sign of the bright pink troll. "No," he whispered before her head popped up but only for a few seconds.

"HELP!" she screamed trying to keep her head above water. She noticed a tree root sticking out of the side of the ledge, with some quick thinking she used her hair to grab it.

"Hang on Poppy!" he called to her as he searched for a way to get to her. "Do you see what you have done?" Boulder asked as he walked towards Branch. "If it were not for you she would be safe and sound right now."

That's when Branch saw it, the best way to get Poppy but before he could set his plan into motion he felt Boulder's body slam into his sending both trolls over the edge. Once they hit the water Boulder lost whatever grip had on Branch and the grey troll was left struggling to find the surface. He tried to keep his head above the water once he found the surface, he was not the best of swimmers besides their was a big differance between calm water and fast moving water he was in.

"WATCH OUT!" he heard Poppy shout before he slammed into something hard, hitting his head he fought the urge to black out. Using his own hair he grabbed onto a nearby root next to Poppy and pulled himself up. He then used his hair to pull Poppy to safety, at first she was afraid to let go of the root but she knew Branch would never let her fall and she trusted him.

Poppy looked at the injured troll before her and she noticed he his side was bleeding. "Branch," she whispered pointing to his side "we have to get back to the village."

"It's no that bad," he lied trying to hide any sign of pain from her.

What happen next was much of a blur for both troll because it started out as a hug but a quick head turn changed that. Lips met and it took both trolls by surprise and neither seemed to protest. An intense warmth came over both of them as they stood in a lip lock, it just felt right...

I don't want this moment to ever end,
Where everything's nothing without you.
I'd wait here forever just to, to see you smile,
'Cause it's true, I am nothing without you...
