I'm please to see that this story had received positive reviews and I hope to see more of them later on. I know it's not a longer chapter than the last one, but I assure you that the next one would be magical.

Here's chapter 2!

Disclaimer: I don't own Trolls, only the OC'S. Some OC'S were created by my friend Reby Montana, whose is the artist behind this story. I just help her by typing it in.

Enjoy!

Reby Montana - Oh, I will continue this for you! I hope each chapter pleases you, no matter how small or long.

Black Raider - Thanks! Well, Poppy has many friends and I thought it would be nice for Branch to have another friend besides Poppy. Oh, you will. But not on this chapter, but I promise you, on the next one you will.

SkyZoneKiller - I'm glad you like it.

ABBA1906 - Oh, I will. This story will be both sad and happy.

BornOnTheBreakOfDawn - I love the name Primrose and I know you used it for Poppy's mother in your stories. But this is not my idea. I didn't choose the name for Branch's mother. Believe me. But I'm glad to know you're enjoying this story.

mariahdoby13 -I agree. That Chef got what she deserved in the film, but this story will help you learn more about the past of our trolls. Enjoy!

Guest - I'm glad you're liking this story. Branch will feel better when the story's over, though that will take a while.

A Blue Angel Born From Love

Chapter 2: A Story of the Past Trolls

"It all started late one spring, and did you know that my father used to play Biggie's dad as well as Guy Diamond's dad and DJ Suki's mom?" Branch began with grin.

"What? No way!" Guy Diamond said surprisingly.

"Oh yes. And that he was also a rival to Creek's dad as well?"

"Creek's dad use to play with your dad?" Poppy asked curiously.

"Not exactly. You see, Grandma told me that my dad, Wood, was one of the bravest trolls in the village. He would always try to help anyone he can and he's considered to be quite handsome, at least that's what my grandma said. Creek's dad, Thorn, was becoming jealous of Wood. He would try to beat my father at anything, but as usual, he would always fail," Branch chuckled. "But you could say that it was thanks to one of their competitions that changed my dad's life forever."

-Almost 27 years ago-

It was a beautiful day that day. The sun was shining, with only a couple of clouds in the sky. The spring breeze brought the sweet smell of flowers for the trolls, despite being near the end of spring. Their home, the Troll Tree, was standing in the forest and its people were content. However, the Bergens, having discovered that eating a troll will make them happy, have coming to their forest in search of them. They even began to cut down some trees and parts of the forest to make the search easier. And that was how Trollstice was formed and every troll fears it.

King Peppy had made it official that every Trollstice, all trolls must hide in order to survive, but unfortunately, there's always at least one troll who's been taken away by the giant beasts. He hoped to find a solution to escape and soon.

In the village, a small group of young adult trolls, about in their twenties, were playing, well most of them anyway. The lead troll, a strong, athletic male with cobalt blue hair, green skin, green eyes, wearing a teal bandanna, red overalls, and a green hug-time bracelet, was panting as he ran ahead with a smile. Behind him was another male troll with indigo skin, indigo blue eyes, and blue-green hair. He wore long sky blue pants, a blue vest, and a blue hug time bracelet.

"Get back here, Wood!" The indigo troll shouted.

"Gotta catch me to make me, Thorn!" Wood taunted as he ran up to some rocks and down he went. Thorn was chasing him with a glare.

Right behind them were Wood's other friends. First was Shiningstar, a male glitter troll with periwinkle blue skin, sky blue hair, blue eyes, and wore only a green visor cap and his light blue bracelet. The second was named Rhythm. She is the only female of the small group and has brilliant gamboge skin with Amaranth hair and hot pink eyes. She wore a teal tank top, long lavender pants, a pink necklace which looks like a musical note, and a magenta hug time bracelet. And finally, the biggest of the trolls, Big Bash. He was a chubby troll with azure hair, royal blue skin, and orange eyes. He wore a yellow and pink striped sweater, dark red pants, and his orange hug time bracelet. These three always hanged out with Wood and usually watch over him in case of any trouble.

"Guys, wait up!" Rhythm shouted.

The five trolls ran out of the village and into the forest, but still close to their homes. Wood stood on a rock to take his breath. He peered around to see if Thorn was around, but no sign of him anywhere. Suddenly, he heard a twig snap. He was alert but then turned and hid a smile as he waited.

"Three...two...one..."

"GOTCHA!" Thorn appeared from behind him, only for Wood to dodge by grabbing a branch from above with his hair, as Thorn tumbled to the ground. "Where did you-"

"Seriously, Thorn, if that's all you got, then I should retire easily," Wood said as he lowers himself down to the ground.

Thorn growled and rose on his feet. "Enjoy it now, Wood, because one day, I will beat you on something."

"When that day comes, I'll be 100," Wood chuckles.

At that moment, Rhythm, Big Bash, and Shiningstar caught up to them, tired from their run. "Has anyone teach you how to jog?" Big Bash panted as he slumped down.

"Sorry, guys. Guess I am quite fast," Wood said.

"It's a good thing, too. With the Bergens around, you'll be able to outrun every single one of them," Shiningstar commented.

"You surely are the bravest of us all!" Rhythm declared, making Wood blush shyly.

"'The bravest of us all!'" Thorn imitated with a girly voice. "Pfft! He's nothing but a show off!"

"Takes one to know one!" Wood smirked. The other trolls ooohed at his taunt.

"We'll see about that! First one to that tree ahead is the winner!" Thorn said.

"You're on!" Wood said. "On your marks, go!" Both trolls ran at full speed. They made quick turns at every obstacles on the way and used all their strength and speed until finally they reached the tree, with Wood being the winner by a nose. "Ha-ha- and Ha!"

"No fair! You had a head start!" Thorn panted.

"No, I didn't!" Wood argued.

"Yes, you did!"

"Guys, come on, it's a just a little race!" Big Bash said, trying to avoid a fight from being formed.

"Easy for you to say. You don't win at any race and you're not up against a troll whom is considered as the favorite to every troll in all the village. Even King Peppy admires him!" Thorn argued.

"That's not true, Thorn!" Wood sternly said. "I'm not best at everything and I'm not that famous. I just help a lot of trolls and treat them all equally. It takes more than strength and popularity to be able to help the others."

"He's right, Thorn," Shiningstar agreed. "King Peppy admires him because of how mature, responsible, cautious, and caring he is."

"Blah, Blah, Blah! Whatever!" Thorn scoffed. "Besides, I have one thing that Wood doesn't have. In case you all didn't know, my wife Ivy is expecting our child! So, I'll be a father before Wood will!"

"Really? Congrats!" Big Bash cheered. The other two were happy to hear of a new life that will join their happy community. Even Wood was happy.

Thorn was happy with all the attention being given to him. "So, when the baby's born?" Rhythm asked him.

"In the fall, probably around November."

"What's the gender?" Shiningstar asked.

"Soon to tell. But I hope it's a boy," Thorn answered.

Big Bash then asks, "What's the baby's name?"

"Don't know yet. So, what do you think of that, Wood?" Thorn asked with a smug.

"I think it's great that you're going to have a child, Thorn, but being a father shouldn't be a competition. All life is cherished in this village. I just hope you don't fill your child's head with all your competition and rivalry of us."

"Shows what you know! I'm surprised that with you being well known in the village, you haven't found someone special in your life to settle down with."

"I guess I just haven't found the right girl for me," Wood shrugged his shoulders.

"I'm sure you will, Wood," Big Bash patted his shoulder.

"Thanks. Speaking of girls, how you've been doing Olivia lately?" Wood asked his big friend. "It's been half a year since you two married."

"Amazing! You have no idea. It's like having a lovable creature that feeds you, hugs you, sings to you, and loves you in every way," Big Bash sighed dreamily. "I wouldn't give that up for anything."

"Good for you, buddy!" Shiningstar patted his back.

"I just wish that these Bergens would leave us alone," Big Bash sighed. "It's not our fault that they're not happy like us. With Trollstice around, we have to live in fear whether the day comes or when it's nearing. It's not a safe life, not even for our future children, should we have any."

"Well, I'm sure King Peppy is working on a plan for that soon," Wood assured them. "I know Mom would like that too. She worries about me. About every young troll around here as well."

"Uh, guys? Don't you think that we're a little far from the village?" Rhythm interrupted their conversation nervously. The other trolls looked around and saw that there were indeed in unfamiliar territory. Some trees looked barren and the wind blew around, giving an eerie feeling around them.

"We should probably get back before-"

"Are you kidding? Where's your sense of adventure? Come on!" Thorn shouted.

"Thorn, get back here! You know we're not allowed in there!" Wood warned him.

"Excuses, excuses! Catch up or go back, Woody!" Thorn taunted as he ran deep into the forest.

Wood groaned and attempts to follow him. His friends, being loyal and caring, followed Wood despite the danger.

Thorn ran ahead, jumping over rocks, going under the shrubbery and passing some sticks on the way. It wasn't long until he reached a clearing where there were trees surrounding it in a circle, the sky opened to the area, giving light around him. But what really amazed him was a strange contraption hidden in the leaves. It looked liked a small cage for small creatures like him. Probably an abandoned Troll trap left by the Bergens. He then peered closer with curiosity until...

"Thorn, get away from there!" Thorn turned around to see Wood with a serious expression on his face. Shiningstar, Big Bash, and Rhythm joined him with worried looks.

"It's fine. It's not like I'm going inside of it or anything," Thorn assured him despite the danger.

"Thorn, I'm serious! Get away from there!" Wood ordered.

Thorn glared and turned to face him. "Guess what? You're not the boss of me!"

"Thorn, listen to Wood!" Rhythm exclaimed.

"Unless you want your child to become fatherless, I suggest you'd stay away from that thing!" Shiningstar explained.

"Would you guys relax?" Thorn calmly said, not realizing that behind him was a hidden trap as well. Wood saw it too. "Fine, let's go. But you guys have no sense of...WHOAA!" Suddenly, he felt his foot got caught in a rope and was suddenly lifted into the air by a small tree and hung upside down. "Guys, help me! I'm stuck!"

"You know, maybe I should just leave you there so you'll learn your lesson!" Wood growled.

"Wood!" Rhythm said in shock.

"Don't worry. We'll get him down before the Bergens do."

"I think we have bigger problems than that!" Big Bash whimpered as he pointed up. The trolls looked up and gasped. Coming down from the trees were a swarm of fuzzy tarantulas, knowing that there's a meal for them. Wood looked around as saw a sharp stick. He jumped down and grabbed it.

"Rhythm, you and Shiningstar help Thorn get down from the trap! Big Bash, you carry Thorn and all of you, run back to the village! Now!" Wood ordered.

"But what about you?" Shiningstar asked.

"If I go with you, it'll lead the spiders back to the village! I'll be fine, just do what I say. Trust me!"

The three trolls nodded and went to Thorn to free him. Wood grabbed a pebble and threw it at one spider's head. This made all the arachnids turn to him. He stood defiantly and spun the stick like a ninja would. The spiders growled and crawled towards him.

Rhythm and Shiningstar climbed the tree and Rhythm used a sharp stone and try to cut the rope around Thorn's foot as Big Bash prepared to grab him from below. "Hurry!" Thorn pleaded. After a few seconds, the rope snapped and Thorn landed in Big Bash's arm. Then the three sprinted into a run and ran back to village.

Wood saw them and nodded. He then taunted the spiders to chase him and he ran deep in the other direction.

He ran and ran and the spiders were not even close in giving up their meal. He then saw a tree limb and used his hair to lasso himself on to it. The spiders then climbed up the tree. Wood then ran across the branches, jumping from twig to twig while dodging the spiders. As he jump onto another branch, he gasped as he saw spiders coming after him in every direction. Finally, he locked onto an empty tree and began to climbed to the top as the spiders chased him. The higher he climbed, the more spiders began to fill the tree and with the added weight, forced the tree to bend sideways. Wood finally held onto the end of the branch and hung tightly and when he looked down, he grinned and smirk. The spiders stopped growling and saw why he was smiling. They noticed that the added weight helped Wood reach to the ground safely and he was holding the branch.

"I'm afraid you all are going hungry tonight. See ya next landing!" He then let go and all the spiders were flung off, away from him and the other trolls.

Wood chuckled as he rubbed his hands. "Now, that's quite a workout! Well, I better get back before the others get worried." He then began to walk back, until he stopped. He perked his ears and heard a faint voice not far from him. "Huh?" He looked around and saw no one there and yet he hears someone and it sounded like it was...singing?

He then looked back to where the village lay in a few minutes of walking. But then he looked to the right. There was a path leading him somewhere, but for some reason, the singing voice came from that direction and it was like it was baiting him to follow. Now, he knew better than to follow it, but he just can't seem to ignore it.

"I guess a little peak wouldn't hurt much," he said to himself as he went down that said path where he heard the voice. Little would he know that this is the start of a new life awaiting for him.

Hope you like it!

Well, next chapter will be the start of something magical for this particular troll. Be patient, my readers. Good storywriting don't just happen. Oh, if only.
