Chapter 1

The Never Ending Abyss of Sadness and Despair

"Why do I feel... sad, everythings seems to be falling, this... emotion is all new to me" said by a voice under the shade of a gaint flower. The voice wasn't very clear because he was still crying over the loss of a loved one. Soon, he found the courage to stand and walk but still lost to sadness. He found his feet dragging him to a village, a village of trolls. Later he gave up of his nonesense walking and he sat behind a bush waiting for the only one who ever realy cared for him to come back, only she was the troll that gave him hapiness. Well, other than- "oh no" he said cutting his thoughts as he heard the angelic female voice. He looked at the direction of the voice wich was only at the other side of the bush. He looked and there she was. The loveliest troll of all, a pink troll that was happily singing and dancing under the moonlight, giving her spotlight.

The pink troll stopped her gleeful actions as she heard rustling behind a nearby bush. "hello, is anyone there?" she asked as she slowly walked to the bush. Nervous, the other is shaking behind his hiding place, not knowing what to do. She then goes behind the bush to see what was there, she assumed is would be a squirrel... but to her suprise it was an old friend "Branch?" she was shocked of what she saw. The boy stand quiet still processing what just happend to his grandma. She hugged himand realized he was grey "Branch, we hadn't see each other for a couple of weeks and did you use food coloring on your skin and hair?". "sadly,no Poppy, this is what's left of me and this is who I am now" the sad and grey troll answered with grief. Being grey is one's nightmare since trolls are the happiest creatures to ever live.

Now, no one will ever like me, no one will ever accept me. Branch thought to himself as he saw fear on Poppy's eyes but he thought it was a fear becuase of him but her fear was FOR him.

Branch thought this will be there last meeting place so... he kissed her cheeks and hugged her and whispered "I love you, Poppy". Before Poppy got to hug back, he pulled out and ran away from her, leaving her with sadness over a lost friend.

Poppy got to her friends and told them what Branch is now. Hearing her story made them wander of what made him grey. When they were very sad as they wondered of Branch's fate, 8 year old Creek showed up being carried by a bug ( well to be fair, he was a bug to Branch). " Poppy, Branch will be okay, he is tough for a kid" Creek said trying to cheer everybody up as he got down from being carried by the bug.

Meanwhile, Branch on the other hand is not doing well, he sat under the tree both him and his grandma lived in. he felt sleepy and dizzy so he dicided to go to bed. Before napping he said to himself "I cant be like this I am already a 7 year old troll not 6 like Poppy". He slept as his dream of the last time Poppy and Branch played together wich was last couple of years.

*DREAM*

Branch was in Poppy's pod playing truth or dare with all of them friends ( Creek was not there yet). It was Poppy's turn and they dared her to hug the person she wants to be with most. She hugged Branch. With shock on his face, the snack pack teased the two because they were blushing. After the game ends, the group went to their pods and go sleep.

The next morning, Branch carried a flower for Poppy. And as He was going to Poppy's house, he saw Creek kiss Poppy in the cheek ( read this: Creek the creep kissed Poppy in the cheek, my ryhms rule). Jealousy filled Branch's eyes as it formed tears. Poppy heard crying as she looked around only to see a crying troll "Poppy, I thought you loved me" Branch said still crying. Branch ran as Poppy tried to go after him but Creek has a grip on her and he pulled her for another kiis but now, he aimmed for the lips. When their lips were about to crash, she pushed Creek away and continued to follow Branch. Poppy catched up to Branch and holded a tight grip but as their eyes met, Poppy looked into his blue eyes and see only a scared little troll running, running for his life for shadow, darkness, and sorrow was trying to swollow him whole. And when she saw that the darkness has Grpped onto him, she let him go and they never saw eachother again. That time as others saw branch just running to the forest, Poppy saw different, she saw him falling, just kept falling into the never ending abyss of sadness and dispair.
