Seems like you all were glad to have a break from all the heartbreaks and betrayals and cliffhangers. But.. maybe I have more in store for you! Please make sure to read what I wrote at the end of the chapter!

BananaQUEEN13- Yes, the magic of love is strong, so I thought that I might as well show it! Come on, I couldn't let Poppy die that easily! This chapter will definitely send you into more panic attacks though, sorry! Thanks for the props on my writing, I try! I am so glad that I keep you hooked.

Animal Girl1507- Yes, it did, and thank you very much! Here is some more!

FandomsAreLoveFandomsAreLife- Yes, I thought you all deserved that much! So sorry, I understand how scarring it is and I feel a bad emotion.. guilt? Nah, couldn't be. Anyways, whenever I do, I feel bad. And creepy is my middle name.. Nah kidding! Or am I..?

Samantha Peace HeartStar- Yes it was, and thank you! No, it was not the final chapter! I plan on making this fanfic extremely long! Don't worry! And I thought you all would think so!

Warning: Below is a lot of suspense, but not too much! Not enough to stop anyone!

"Do you, Queen Poppy, take this boy to be your son for life and all eternity?" The judge asked the pink troll, and she smiled from ear.

"I do."

"Do you, AJ, take Poppy as your lawful mother, and accept the position of being the prince of the trolls?"

"I do!"

"Do you, Branch, take this boy to be your son for life and all eternity?"

I do.

"Do you, AJ, take Branch as your lawful father?"

"Duh!" AJ yelled, and the judge gave him look. "I do."

"AJ is now the official son of Poppy and Branch." The judge said, frowning. Nobody understood this, but let it go as they hugged.

Branch wheeled himself out, racing his new son out of the courthouse, grinning ear to ear. Poppy stayed back a few paces. She had just married Branch the day before and had just adopted AJ, but she felt like their family had been a family for ages. She smiled at the scene of her two most precious boys playing around, giggling when Branch held up his arms in victory.

They got back to the castle and saw the doctor standing at their door.

"Hello, Queen Poppy, I just wanted to ask you one little favour, I hope you don't really mind it." she smiled, and AJ hid behind her legs, trembling.

"Anything.." she said uncertainly, worried why the doctor had suck her out. She frowned at the thought.

"Your husband dead." Poppy gasped as eight different haired people jumped out and wrapped around Branch. He mouthed one word: go.

She grabbed AJ and ran into the castle, going into the first floor's bathroom, and locked the door. There was no window, so they couldn't get in. She and AJ worked on the toilet, finally getting it up and pushing it up against the door right as she heard banging.

"Come out, come out, wherever you are, Poppy! If you give yourself up now, I will spare the child." AJ's eyes widened and he shook his head madly, but they were silent and made sure their feet couldn't be seen through the crack under the door, hiding in the shower and silently pulling the curtain down, as the doctor whispered, "No? Oh well! I wouldn't've anyways." As she passed the door, she slid a note under the door, that took up eleven lines.

This family will not happen.

There was the picture of the three of them hugging in a deep embrace. AJ saw in and began crying.

"Is Branch gone forever?" He whispered, his lower lip quivering as she hugged him close.

"No, I don't think so. We can only hope that he can fight his way out, and don't worry AJ, as long as I live no harm will come unto you." She pressed her lips to the top of his head, hugging him close to her. She took his hand and held it between her own. "I love you AJ, and I always will. You are my son, you always will be, and you can never have anything happen to you on my watch. I know Branch feels the same."

They just laid in that shower for hours, in a comfortable silence, praying with all their hearts Branch was alright.

AJ had fallen asleep in her embrace, bless his four year old little heart. He shouldn't have to deal with such pain and sorrow like this so young.

No wonder Branch turned grey. If we hadn't been here, I am sure he would be grey too.

She gently laid him down, laying his head down on a loofah. She looked through the drawers and cabinets, looking for what she hoped was there. To her luck, there was.

"Hello? Police?" She whispered into the phone, praying they could hear her.

"Hello, can you please speak up? We cannot hear you too well." Dang it!
"Sorry, but I have an intruder in the castle. We are locked in the bathroom, and they took Branch!" She whisper-yelled in the phone, and she forced tears back. Her husband might be gone, forever.

"Say no more." The phone went dead and she hoped that someone was on their way. She could hear running down the hallway and hoped that mean good news.

"Poppy?" AJ asked, and she realised he had woken up from the noise.

"Right here, sweetie. The police are on their way." She picked him up, before hearing hammering on the door. She shoved AJ into a cabinet and she dove into the shower, under a pile of dirty towels. She peered, terrified, from underneath the towels, and could smell pee. Ew!

She let out her breath when it was the police hacking down the door, calling out their names. She came out from the hiding spot, and helped AJ from his spot.

"How was Branch taken?" A woman officer asked, and she told them what had happened up to this point. She still couldn't stop mulling over the fact that the doctor had been the attacker this time. First her father, then the doctor? She couldn't see the faces of the other trolls, but wondered if she was close with any of them too.

She and AJ walked from the bathroom to see the setting sun from a window. She held him close as they walked up the stairs, insisting he sleep with her tonight. Not once did she let her son go. If they wanted her son, they would have to go through her first!

Branch struggled against the hair, unable to move. There were eight different trolls carrying him, so his handicapped self was hopelessly outmatched.

They tied him in licorice ropes, and, even though of the dire situation he was in, he felt like laughing out loud.

Once a troll, always a troll. Using a sweet rope to capture enemies instead of real rope. Haha!

As soon as they threatened him and left the room, he bit through his ropes, easily tearing through them. He chewed the black sticky stuff and hated the flavour of it but kept it in his mouth.

As soon as his hands were free, as was the rest of his body, he spit the enormous wad into his hands. The sticky substance was hard to remove from his hands, so he just rolled his eyes and stood up.

He forgot about his knee until it sent a sharp pain through his body, and he would have screamed if he had a voice. He balanced on his good leg, staring at the low ceiling.

Wait!

He tore his hands apart, hopped up on the chair with all the strength he could muster, and placed his hands up towards the ceiling, easily touching it. He kicked the chair down up the sticky stuff kept him glued up there. He made sure to have put several cords in his mouth in case he needed more.

He made slow work, unhooking his hand and travelling only a few feet a minute. The room was a large ballroom, and he didn't understand the low ceiling until he realised that it was the second floor and only part of the room was like that. He kept in up, until he saw a vent. He used one hand to use the suction force, and crawled through it, scraping off the sticky licorice remains. He began chewing up some more, in case there was another time he needed it. He had to begin crawling up, which was even harder work on his knee, which had begun bleeding again.

He came up on the roof of wherever he was, seeing nothing but a sea of trees below him. He knew he was a few hours away from the troll village, and hated being so far from his beloved.

He army-crawled over the side as he saw people spilling out over towards him, about to use their hair. He did the only logical thing in a situation like this.

He jumped.

I know this chapter is short, I am sorry, but I have three doctor appointments today, ugh! It won't be nice. I also have a great idea for another fanfic, so would you rather me have two running at the same time or wait for me to finish this one first? If so, let me know in the reviews! I have already started chapter one, just so I wouldn't forget the idea, but I can always wait until I complete this one first, which may take a while, honestly! This fanfic will be extremely long, and I think you guys would like my other one too! Let me know what you think through reviews and PMs! Love you all!

Ps The reason I am posting this earlier is so I could see responses. I will either post another chapter tonight or my new fanfic tonight. Enjoy!
