Chapter 18
(Everyone stood in shock, hardly believing what she had said)
Biggie: poppy...
Poppy: I'm serious! If you're not here to help me find what I'm looking for...then go!
DJ Suki: poppy we do wanna help! But...
Poppy: but what? Tell me but what?
Satin: chill...we're just trying to help you
Poppy: well how are you helping? It really sounds like you don't support what I'm doing!
(Everyone looks at each other)
Chenille: poppy look...remember when creek betrayed us? Well...if he ever came back...you know he'd never be welcomed back...why would want to bring someone back who betrayed you in your life? You could've been dead
Poppy: go...
Chenille: what?
Poppy: I said go! All of you go! You know something? What if it was you in this situation wouldn't you do the same thing? I mean take a look at Branch! Branch grew up to hate his mother because she wasn't always there for him but now look at them!
Guy Diamond: but she didn't betray everyone to the bergens?
Poppy: what does it matter now?! Aren't we friends with them now! I thought we were all better than this! I've let go of the past so it's obvious you all haven't...so just go...everyone go...
(One by one, all the trolls leave and Branch still stands there)
Poppy: didn't you hear me?
Branch: you can't possibly mean me too...
Poppy: I do...
Branch: what's going on with you? You've changed...poppy you know I support you and I always will...please don't push me away
Poppy: branch...you knew how important this was to me...it was supposed to our adventure...but now...it's just falling apart
Branch: but it still can
Poppy: no it can't...I want to do this alone now
Branch: well...if that's what you want...
Poppy: branch you know I love you...
Branch: (looks at her with sad eyes) you did once...(walks away) goodbye poppy I hope you find what you're looking for
(He walks away back to the village, both of them with a broken heart, this adventure wasn't the happy adventure that was supposed to be...now it was just complicated...Branch wished he hadn't said that, now he wasn't sure what would come between him and poppy, Branch didn't exactly go back home, he stuck around just to make sure poppy didn't get hurt again)
(Poppy in her own mind was hurt, had branch ended things with her? She didn't know...was this real life? She thought adventures were full of fun...but his one wasn't...she had possibly lost her father, friends, and her love...she didn't know what to do...she still wanted to go on with her mission...she decided once she was done with that, she'd go back and patch things up with everyone, she went back into the tunnel and looked around...)
Poppy: hello? Is anyone here? (No answer) please someone answer me! (She looked around and noticed a secret passage which turned into a living space...wow it was incredible...but it looked miserable at the same time...there things written on walls, everything smashed up, and the place was just sad)
(There were footsteps coming down the tunnel that lead to certain death...there was a completely grey troll...)
Grey Troll: who are you? And what'd you doing in my place?
Poppy: (in shock) I've been looking for someone...and...you might be just that...are you Polly?
Grey Troll: Polly? Who wants to know?
Poppy: well my mothers name was named Polly
Grey Troll: good for you, don't know her
Poppy: but...you have to be...
Grey Troll: (rolls her eyes) ok I'm Polly! What do you want from me?
Poppy: I'm your daughter...
Polly: (eyes grow wide) p-poppy?
Poppy: yes...
Polly: (goes silent) get out...
Poppy: (shocked) wh-what?
Polly: get out! I don't want you
Poppy: what'd you mean?
Polly: I...don't...want...you how much clear can I be?
Poppy: but...I set out all this way to find you...I went through so much...
Polly: well you wasted your time...I never told you to come find me...
Poppy: but...
Polly: now do I have to tell you again? Get out!
(Poppy was beyond hurt...how could her own mother say such a thing? All this time...she had been searching for someone who didn't want to be found...by the time she reached the end of the tunnel she broke down and started crying hard and when Branch saw he immediately ran to her side)
Branch: poppy? What happened?!
Poppy: branch? (Cries on him) I found my mom...
Branch: you did?!
Poppy: she didn't want me...you were right...you were all right...this was a terrible idea to do...
Branch: (hugs her) Poppy...listen I love you and everyone loves you...I know you wanted this to work out but...(notices her colors starting to fade and saw her started to become in a depressive state and he immedialty brought her back to the village)
Peppy: poppy?! What's going on?!
Poppy: well I found mom and she didn't want me...she completely rejected me...
Peppy: oh Poppy...I'm so sorry
Poppy: you are right...I was wasting my time...I'm so naive...how could I ever think she would want me? I mean that's a dumb question she betrayed us so why would she love me...(her colors started to fade more)
Peppy: poppy listen it's gonna be ok...
Poppy: (looked at everyone and started to sing in a trembling voice) "this adventure is over and now it's is gone
I guess it's time to move on
She has new dreams ahe's building upon
And I'm still hurting
She arrived at the end of the line
I guess she thinks the problems are mine
She's probably feeling just fine
And I'm still hurting
I know something wonderful died
She decides it's his right to decide
She's got secrets she doesn't confide
And I'm still hurting
Go and hide and run away
Run away, run and find something better
Go and ride the sun away
Run away like it's simple
Like it's right...
Give me a day, Mother
Bring back the lies
Hang them back on the wall
Maybe I'd see
How you could be
So certain that we
Had no chance at all
The adventure is over and where can I turn?
Covered with scars I did nothing to earn
Maybe there's somewhere a lesson to learn
But that wouldn't change the fact
That wouldn't speed the time
Once the foundation's cracked
And I'm
Still hurting" (When Poppy finally finished she turned at everyone)
Poppy: I'm really sorry everyone...I love you all so much...don't ever forget that...(And shorty after saying that poppys colors faded ever more and poppy turned WHITE)
(It's said when a troll turns white, their soul along with their happiness is gone, and once it happened it was impossible to turn back...the fate of a troll who turns white would die of a broken heart in just a week in time...everyone started to cry as they saw their beloved poppy...lost forever...)
(Well guys...this was an emotional roller coaster writing this! Poppy has finally learned that things don't always turn out the way you want to...but...why did Polly reject poppy? will poppy ever get her true colors back or is it too late for her? You'll all find out...don't forget to review! ~Ash)
