Poppy waits in the throne room. He looks around the room with curiosity and awe. The castle throne room is a mix of Gothic,simple and elegant. The room is lit by candles on the walls. Then the turned vampire brings his attention to Branch's throne. He exams it with curiosity.

The throne is beautiful and simple with red seat cushions built into the throne. The wood covering the metal of the throne is dark brown. There is are moon and flower symbols in gold at the top of the throne. The throne somehow sparkles under the candle light beautifully as it sits between two red and gold curtains that are behind it and on a short stage like pedestal with three stair levels.

Poppy didn't get a lot of information from the Queen! He wonders what she is going to do when she comes back. She had already made him a citizen of Vampdom. Then Queen Branch comes back and walks up to Poppy. The male vampire turns to her.

"There is a place for you to stay temporarily. It's a shelter for homeless and turned vampires. You can stay until you get back on your feet.", Branch says.

Poppy nods his head to the Queen. He thought it is nice of her to find him a place to stay.

" There are a few things you should know. By Sun raise every vampire has to be home already cause we can't be in the sun like your use to. Most people and even vampire hunters don't really know this but, vampires don't just drink blood! It's important to drink enough but, the vampire diet does include solid foods,sugar and so on...So it won't be too different from what your probably use to... And your going to have to be more careful when you go into the woods! You should know how much care hunters have for vampires! I suggest you start learning to use your powers soon or else your going be a sitting duck next time!...",Branch explains serious.

Poppy knew about the sunlight problem but,the diet part was a surprise! He thought vampires only drank blood. Looks like Gal Diamond's bet was wrong. Poppy smiles at the idea that he can still eat his favourite foods.

Then the pink vampire starts wondering about how do the other Vampire hunters react to innocent vampires who did nothing wrong. Sure it is the job to kill vampires but,Poppy always felt it was  heartless if the vampire is just minding their own business,innocent and have no intend to attack a random troll! A few times before Poppy secretly wondered if it was possible for vampires and trolls to be friends and work something out. Poppy became a vampire hunter to protect,not kill! Suddenly the vampire Queen brings the undercover spy back to reality.

"Do you have any questions?", Branch asks.

Many questions fill Poppy's head like a flood! There are things he wants to know about vampires that the other hunters didn't know... Poppy decides to ask about something that caught his eye along the way to castle.

"What was going in the park earlier? The vampires seemed very busy...", Poppy asks curious.

Branch immediately knows what Poppy is talking about.

" Oh,that?... Tomorrow night is the Moon Festival... It is a yearly celebration for us vampires. It has been around for many centuries!",Branch replies honestly

Poppy's ears peck up and his face lights up when Branch said "Moon Festival". He loves festivals! He honestly did not expect the vampires to have festivals! Vampires are known to be quiet and not the most social compared to trolls. Poppy wonders what the Moon Festival will be like,what activities they that are especially for the festival and why do they celebrate the Moon. He is very curious about it!

"Moon Festival? That sounds like a lot of fun!What's it like? What special activities are there? Back at home we have some great festivals,like Hug Fest! ", Poppy says very excited.

Branch is surprised by how excited Poppy sounds! She never saw someone be this excited over the festival in all her years of living! The turned vampire might as well shine like a bright light with all his excitement.

" Are you always this over - excited when there's a festival around the corner? ",Branch asks with raised an eyebrow.

The spy didn't really understand what the Queen meant. Poppy is the most happiest troll in his village for a reason. The excitement twinkles in the hunter's eyes as he looks at the Vampire Queen.

" What you do mean?",Poppy asks confused and happy.

The Vampire Queen gives Poppy a look unsure what to say. She never met anyone like Poppy Kendrick before! He's very different from the other trolls she saw before and is not like the other vampire men she met! Something about Poppy makes Branch a little curious and confused at the same time. The Queen decides to shake it off.

"Are you going to the festival?", Poppy asks curious.

Branch didn't have to think too much of her answer. She has to go the Moon Festival to open it,start the shows and performances and maybe make a few announcements if she has to but, after all that she is free to do everything she wants. She is also going to meet up with her friends.

" Yes, I am. I will be doing Queen duties at the festival.",Branch replies honestly.

Poppy is a little surprised that Branch would be working at the festival. She should be having fun and relax at the festival after all. Then an idea hits Poppy's head making him smile. They could both have fun and he could learn more about the Queen.

"Oh... Well,you can't be working the whole time. It's a festival and you should enjoy yourself! Who knows maybe we will run into each other and get to hang out for a while. That will be lots of fun! You could show me around and show the best places to go and the best activities to do!", Poppy says cheerful and excited.

Branch raises an eyebrow at the turned vampire again. No turned vampire talked to her like that before! Usually the turns were more quieter and would go on their way after she helps them. Poppy is the first one to seem to hope that they would see each other at the festival and to hang out. Branch is unsure what to say honestly but, thinks of something to say. The Queen puts one hand on her hip. Poppy looks at her hopeful,excited and happy.

" Maybe but,I wouldn't count on it. The Moon festival is going to be a big place and there will be many vampires... ",Branch replies.

The pink hunter sees Branch's reply as an challenge. He is going to keep his eyes peeled for her. He quickly thinks of an good response.

" Well do you know what they say? It's a small world sometimes... ",Poppy says happily and playful.
