Well. The time has come for the final chapter. But please don't cry because as I have mentioned there will be a sequel and it will come soon. Until then enjoy the final chapter.
The Bergens charged at the trolls as the trolls used their hair to lift them up in the air to reach the Bergen's faces to fight. Satin and Chenille ran with Jason to help him take down the flowers.
Creek was busy fighting to not notice what Poppy did to her dress. She ripped the long skirt to make it a short one, the sleeves that went over her shoulders became straps like a tank top and brushed out all the flowers from her hair and took off her vail.
Branch was surprised at Poppy but thought it she looked quite cool.
Poppy then walked up to Branch with a grin on her face "what, how else am I gonna help?" she joked.
Branch laughed and gently took her hand. "I guess I could give you a quick lesson" he flirted.
They both used their hair and jumped, swiftly, into the air. "So all you wanna do is just kick…" said Branch and he kicked a Bergen's chin and Poppy then repeated. "Very good" he praised. "Punch" he continued and Poppy punched the Bergen's cheek.
"And finally?" Poppy asked.
They used their hair to lower themselves down a bit to the Bergen's stomach. "Then push" said Branch and went Behind her, grabbed her waist and she used her feet to punch a Bergen in the stomach and sent him flying to the ground.
They landed on the ground, feeling guilty. "Sorry!" Poppy shouted.
"No hard feelings" shouted the Bergen on the ground, lying on his back "it had to be done".
Branch looked at Poppy with such amazement. She wanted to fight but for good. He could still see the Poppy he knew inside her. "You're a quick learner" he joked and gently nudged her side with his.
Poppy giggled softly "I must have a good teacher" she joked back. She gently kissed his cheek and smiled at him with her eyes filled with the warmth from the sun, even though they had gone through ice cold treachery.
Branch had fought Creek on his own last time, now with Poppy by his side, they were most unstoppable team in the world.
Biggie, Cooper and Guy Diamond had a silly plan that they hoped would work. Biggie and Cooper would use their hair to slingshot Guy Diamond into the air and he would fart Glitter in Bergen's eyes.
Suki and Smidge used their hair to trip the Bergen's up and Suki would then play blaring music into their ears.
Gristle and Bridget convinced some Bergens that have fallen, to run into the forest and he would catch up with them. Some left and some stayed.
Of course the trolls didn't want to do this so the always apologized after what they did to the Bergens.
Branch used his sword at some points just in case. He used it to stab the Bergen's feet, it wouldn't injure them it would just feel like painful pins and needled on their feet.
Creek's anger kept on flooding in. This was supposed to be his day, the day he had been preparing for this for ages that time itself had sped on without him. He wouldn't allow this.
He went up to where Satin, Chenille and Jason were. Creek knew that the twins could separate their hair whenever their hearts desired. He knew because he saw it at the diner in Bergen town when he was trapped inside Gristle's jewel and managed to see Satin and Chenille in Bridget's 'hair'.
Creek grabbed Chenille and her hair became separated from Satin's. He put a blade up against her throat and Jason whipped round aiming his crossbow with a scared Satin by his side.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you" Creek smirked.
Jason's brow furrowed "let her go" he growled.
"Give me the bag" Creek hissed.
Jason groaned "survival kit" he corrected.
"I DON'T CARE JUST GIVE IT TO ME!" Creek roared with Chenille whimpering.
Jason dropped his crossbow and it landed at his feet. He swung his 'survival kit' off his back and threw it at Creek's feet.
"Now let her go" Jason croaked in a worried voice.
Creek threw Chenille into Jason's arms and ran away.
"You okay?" Jason asked, Chenille nodded with a few tears in her eyes.
Jason then had to warn Branch and Poppy "you guys stay here and keep taking down the flowers" he ordered and the twins nodded.
As Jason ran towards Branch and Poppy, Satin turned to Chenille and smirked but not in the way Creek did. His was more evil, hers was mischievous.
"What?" Chenille asked. Satin then made a heart with her hands and then pointed at Jason.
Chenille just groaned at her sister "let's just get back to work" she moaned as Satin kept on singing at the back of her mind I don't care, I ship it.
Jason ran towards Branch and Poppy to warn them, until a large hand grabbed him and held him in the air. "I really should have made myself taller when I had the chance" he mumbled to himself.
Poppy and Branch had just taken down a Bergen and gave her another apology like they did with the other Bergens.
Creek took out 'the sleeping death' from the survival kit and a cloth and poured some of the poison onto it.
He snuck up behind Branch and was ready to put the cloth onto his face. But Poppy saw what he was going to do and had other plans.
Poppy shoved Branch out of the way and the cloth covered her face and the poison started to take effect.
"NO!" Branch yelled as tears flowed from his eyes.
Chenille threw Jason's crossbow at Jason, he grabbed it and shot it and Creek's feet and kept on shooting.
Satin and Chenille then brought down the last flower and the Bergen that was holding Jason then dropped him.
Jason landed to the ground with a thud and ran over to Creek, Grabbed his arm and held the crossbow at his neck. "This seems familiar" he whispered into Creek's ear.
Creek didn't listen. He just stood there with so much guilt and sadness. He made a mistake and karma finally came to punish him.
Branch ran over to Poppy and held her close.
"No, no, no. Poppy why?" he cried quietly with tears still flooding his eyes.
Poppy's eyes were heavy but she managed to open them and smiled. "Because" she whispered "you saved me and it was my turn to save you…" and she drew her last breath.
Branch couldn't believe it. In his arms lay an injured angel with a broken wing. He never let go of her, he didn't want to. He gently kept hugging her lifeless body, showing no emotion, but sleep.
The snack pack hung their heads low but didn't lose their colours. Gristle and Bridget did the same. Even Jason, still holding Creek, felt sympathy for the troll that lay with no life left in her, in her special troll's arms.
Creek's Palace- Two Days Later
For some reason Branch, Jason and the snack pack didn't feel like leaving the Palace just yet.
King Gristle asked some Bergens to take Creek back to his castle and lock him up.
The snack decided to do a funeral for Poppy and bury her in the poppy field not too far from Bergen town.
Branch didn't go grey. But he felt like his whole world had been wrecked.
He sat on one of the beds in one of the rooms in the palace. He sat in silence, not uttering a word and he didn't move. The whole palace was quiet apart from the tears Biggie bawled from his eyes downstairs.
Someone knocked on the door and came in. it was DJ Suki.
"Branch?" she said quietly and crept inside. She saw that Branch's heart was aching and went over to talk to him. "Branch you're not the only one who's upset. Can't you hear Biggie from downstairs?" said Suki.
"You don't get it" he murmured "I didn't get to say that I loved her".
DJ sat on the bed and put a hand on his shoulder "I'm sorry Branch, I just want you to know that we're all behind you on this" she said kindly.
Jason then walked in the room and the two trolls turned to him. "It's time" he said.
Branch sighed and stood on his feet and walked outside.
Everyone else was outside, the snack pack, Gristle, Bridget, Tom and Chad.
Poppy was in a coffin made of gold and a glass case.
Branch looked like she was sleeping more than lifeless. He liked it better that way. It looked like she was in peace. Jason opened the case for everyone to say what they need to say.
Everyone took their turns saying goodbye. They twins were first, then DJ, Smidge, Guy Diamond, Biggie (who was still bawling his eyes out), Cooper, Fuzzbert, Gristle and Bridget. Last but not least was Branch.
He put his hand on hers, which were on her chest, and began to speak. "Poppy I miss you so much. Your sacrifice will never be in vain. You will never be replaced by anyone in the troll village as their favourite troll. I want you to know… I love you" he finished and pressed a gentle kiss on her lips.
Suddenly a whoosh of golden air rushed by, going through the strands of everyone's hair, from the second Branch put his lips on Poppy's.
Branch lifted his lips off Poppy's, not knowing what he did. A few seconds went by. You could almost hear everyone's heartbeat, since it was quieter than Branch when he was in one of the rooms.
Poppy's eyes then flew open and she gasped for air and started breathing normally. She looked up at Branch and she smiled. "Thank you" she whispered
Brach then had an open-mouthed grin on his face and laughed with relief "you're alive!" he happily cried and helped her sit up.
"This is amazing. We were the first ones to find the cure to 'the sleeping death'" Jason said happily.
The snack pack gathered round Poppy and Branch and squeezed them into a tight hug.
Branch grabbed Jason's arm and pulled him into the hug.
Bridget nuzzled into Gristle's side happily and he put his arm round her.
Later on everyone finally got their stuff together and decided to head to Jason's kingdom before dark.
Branch and Poppy were in one of the rooms were Branch had a large blue blanket in his arms.
"What's this?" Poppy asked.
Branch smirked kindly "this is your ride for the journey to Jason's kingdom" he said.
He quickly wrapped it round her before she could protest and carried her bridal- style with her laughing in his arms.
"Branch you don't have to do this" she giggled.
"Too bad, cause you have no choice" he joked.
The snack pack awed at them when they walked down the stairs together. Poppy buried her face in Branch's chest as her face glowed a dark pink.
After they went outside, Jason drank a bit of an 'enlarging' potion and he grew back to his natural size. Then everyone started their journey home.
During the journey, Satin whispered into Poppy's ear "have you heard that I started a ship between Chenille and Jason". Chenille heard her sister and she groaned making Satin and Poppy giggle.
After a few hours of walking they realised it was dark and decided to stop for the night.
Branch and Poppy shared a large sleeping bag that Jason made for them. Later on in the night Poppy woke up from a nightmare and started shaking. Branch woke up from Poppy's movement.
"Poppy, are you okay?" he panicked.
He then saw the tears forming in Poppy's eyes.
"I had a nightmare…about him" she whimpered.
Branch knew exactly who she meant. He took her in his arms and stroked her back and lay down with her. In no time she fell back to sleep with a smile on her face.
In the morning Branch wrapped Poppy up in the blanket and kept on carrying her until they finally reached Jason's kingdom.
Branch put Poppy down as they entered the town and hundreds of people came swarming toward them.
"Did you do it your highness?" a middle aged woman asked.
"Did you find it?" a little girl also asked.
Jason reached into his bag and pulled out the sleeping death and reached it to the sky.
People started to cheer, happy that the poison was back and wouldn't hurt anyone ever again.
Just then a carriage with two people in it, wearing crowns approached the scene. A woman with brown hair and hazel eyes jumped out, ran over to Jason and gave him a death grip of a hug. "Jason I missed you so much" she cried and then grabbed his ear. She then went from crying to flaming mad "that was more than a couple of days mister, me and your father were worried sick" she screamed.
A man with black hair and green eyes then put a hand on his wife's shoulder "That's enough Anita" he calmly said.
She then gave her husband a death glare "Joseph your son said he was going to be gone for a couple of days, that means two days, but he has been gone for one whole week!" she rapidly screamed.
"Remember when we were young and someone stole your mother's earrings and you said you'd be gone for a couple of days but instead you've been gone for a month" The man said with a playful smirk on his face.
The woman then went silent and her cheeks went red and she twirled a piece of her hair.
"Guys" Jason turned round to the snack pack and they climbed onto his hands "these are my parent's".
"Hi" Poppy shyly waved hoping no more screaming would come from the woman.
The woman smiled kindly "nice to meet you, I am Queen Anita and this is my husband King Joseph" said Anita.
The king nodded politely at the trolls and then turned to his son with a serious expression on his face "Jason do you have 'the sleeping death'?" he asked.
"Yes" Jason said eagerly "and I also found out the cure".
The crowd around them gasped and the king's jaw dropped "that's impossible" said Joseph.
"Nothing's impossible, not anymore" said Poppy and she turned to Branch and smiled.
Jason had an eager grin on his face "the cure is true love's kiss" said Jason, holding in his excitement for his discovery.
"Thank you for making sure my son didn't get himself killed" Joseph said with a smile on his face.
"Dad!" Jason hissed, embarrassed as Chenille giggled as Satin sang I ship it and Chenille groaned.
The next day Branch once again carried Poppy in a blanket and as they were about to leave he spoke to Jason.
"We will stay in touch, right?" Jason said hopefully.
Branch chuckled "of course, if it wasn't for you I would have never found Poppy" and hugged her in a tight embrace.
"Out of all the discoveries I made" Jason began "you guys were the best ones".
Poppy smiled kindly at Jason "how will you make sure no one will steal 'the sleeping death' again?" she asked.
"There will be a finger print code for the vault" Jason explained.
"See you soon buddy" Branch smiled.
Jason waved after them as the snack pack walked away "bye".
Gristle and Bridget walked the other direction. They said goodbye to the trolls and walked off.
About five hours of walking later they arrived and Poppy climbed out of Branch's arms and the blanket as she walked into the troll village. They were then greeted with the happy faces of trolls and all the children ran up to Poppy and hugged her.
Then her father approached and Poppy turned to him. Tears welled up in Peppy's eyes and he ran over to his daughter and hugged her with all his might. "Poppy, you're alright, I'll never let Creek near you again" he cried into her shoulder.
"I missed you too Daddy" she cried back. They broke apart and smiled at each other. Everyone in troll village then decided to have a party to celebrate Poppy being saved.
The party was amazing, the music was amazing and the food was amazing. There was so much dancing and singing. Branch then asked Poppy if she wanted to do a duet and she happily obliged.
Branch started with his sweet solo of the song
You with the sad eyes
Don't be discouraged
Oh I realize
It's hard to take courage
In a world full of people
You can lose sight of it all
And the darkness inside you
Can make you feel so small
But I see your true colours
Shining through
I see your true colours
And that's why I love you
So don't be afraid to let them show
Your true colours
True colours are beautiful
Like a rainbow
Poppy then sang, with her voice like an angel.
Show me a smile then
Don't be unhappy, can't remember
When I last saw you laughing
If this world makes you crazy
And you've taken all you can bear
You call me up
Because you know I'll be there
And I'll see your true colours
Shining through
I see your true colours
And that's why I love you
So don't be afraid to let them show
Your true colours
True colours are beautiful
Like a rainbow
Then they sang together, like a broken heart had been out back together.
If this world makes you crazy
And you've taken all you can bear
You call me up
Because you know I'll be there
And I'll see your true colours
Shining through
I see your true colours
And that's why I love you
So don't be afraid to let them show
Your true colours
True colours
True colours
Shining through
I see your true colours
And that's why I love you
So don't be afraid to let them show
Your true colours
True colours are beautiful
Like a rainbow
They stopped singing and the crowd cheered. Two hours later and everyone went back to their homes. Peppy went back to his royal pod where all the former royals before slept. Poppy looked at her home. The royal tree. She didn't feel like sleeping on her own tonight. She turned and saw that Branch didn't go back to his newly furnished bunker.
"Hey Branch" she called.
Branch whirled round, saw Poppy and ran over to her. "Is something wrong" he asked.
"You see" she started "I don't wanna sleep on my own tonight, wanna stay over" she asked.
Branch knew what it was like. Ever since his Grandmother died, he always had to return home in an empty pod, all alone.
Branch put his hand on her cheek "I'd love to".
Poppy smiled and led him into her home. She changed into her PJ's and climbed into bed. Branch just took off his vest and climbed in after her. He held her in a soft embrace and saw her smile "I love you" he whispered.
Poppy giggled and replied "I love you to" and they both fell into a peaceful sleep, inside the royal troll tree.
