Chapter 37
The Terrors are slowly walking through Vampdom. Wendy trips a random tween vampire boy making him fall onto the brick pavement. Willow high fives her sister as their group walks away.
"So where are we going?", Christ asks.
" We're looking for that stupid guy Danny told us about so we will be at that shelter Branch visits. He might be there...",Terence explains seriously.
The gang is looking for Poppy. Danny had asked them to keep an eye on the spy for him. Danny even sent them a picture of Poppy. Willow is holding onto the picture. The twins of the gang pull up their noses disgusted at the mention of the homeless and turned vampire shelter.
"Ew!", Wendy comments disgusted.
" Why does a handsome turned like Poppy have to be at that place of all places?!",Willow comments disgusted.
Christ didn't really get why the twins felt that the shelter was so disgusting even know they explained it clearly to him ten times before in total! The muscle man has confusion written all over his face for a moment but, doesn't say a thing. Jordan looks around at the different beautiful women passing by. His eyes look all over their bodies mischievously with a naughty smile on his face and without the female vampires knowing.
Soon the shelter comes into the Terrors' view. They stop at corner where they can see the shelter from a distance perfectly. Poppy exits the shelter with a box in his hands and Eddie by his side. Jordan, Christ and Terence look at Poppy suspiciously as Willow and Wendy watch the spy liking how he looks.
" Good luck boys and remember to bring pizzas from that cute restaurant. ",Eddie's mother's voice calls out happily.
" Don't worry about it,Mom.",Eddie calls out back.
"See you later,Mrs Honey. ", Poppy calls out happily.
Then Poppy and Eddie start walking away in no rush from the shelter. The gang allows them a few minutes head start then Terence snaps his fingers with power. The gang leader gestures them to follow the two vampires. The rest of Terrors catch on and don't say word. Then the Terrors start following Poppy and Eddie slowly catching up while keeping an good distance between them.
Poppy and Eddie have no idea that they are being followed! Poppy happily hums a song to himself. Eddie notices that the turned vampire is humming again. He turns his head to look at Poppy as he walks. Eddie raises an eyebrow at Poppy.
" Why are you humming? You seem to do it a lot at the shelter... ", Eddie says.
Poppy stops humming and turns his head to Eddie as he walks. The pink man has been humming every now and then tonight. Why? Cause he has this melody in his mind but, has no lyrics in his mind yet to go with it.
" Just a little melody I came up with. I wrote it down but, it's still playing in my head. ",Poppy admits happily.
The turned vampire turns his head back to the front of him and starts humming the same melody again. He really likes it. Soon Poppy and Eddie reach the Post Office. Eddie takes the box from Poppy.
" I'll just be gone for a short while. Don't wonder off too far! ",Eddie says honestly and a little serious.
Poppy just nods his head eagerly to Eddie ready to explore Vampdom some more. Eddie feels like he is babysitting Poppy right now which doesn't make him happy. His mother had made him take Poppy with him. Eddie needs no help with mailing a package so Poppy can do whatever he wants.
Then Eddie walks into the Post Office not really caring about what Poppy is going to do. The turned vampire turns around and starts walking in an random direction but,suddenly he unknowingly bumps into someone! They both almost fall backwards as they step back.
" Ow!",Poppy and Branch yell together.
Branch looks up to see Poppy rubbing his forehead. She couldn't believe he just bumped into her again! Poppy looks up and is surprised when he sees Branch standing in front of him! A smile appears on his face as he forgets about what he was going to do.
"Oh hey Branch! Sorry about bumping into you. I didn't see you coming. ", Poppy says happily.
" Clearly you didn't. ", Branch replies unhappily.
Branch was just standing looking at something when Poppy bumped into her. By the time she noticed that he was coming without knowing it was him it was too late. The Queen isn't mad of him so she let's it go within a minute.
" So how you doing? ", Poppy says curious and cute.
" Well you just bumped into me but, that doesn't matter. I'm okay. What are you doing here? ",Branch says honestly.
The blue vampire folds her arms. Then the pink vampire remembers what he was gonna do before he bumped into Branch. He was going to do some exploring and look at the different buildings just for the fun of it.
" Eddie and I came here to the Post Office to post an package for Mrs Honey then Eddie took it and went inside so I decided to look at the buildings of the area and explore a little but,then I accidentally bumped into you so here I am. ",Poppy explains happily with an unnecessary amount of details.
Branch raises an eyebrow at Poppy for the long answer. She didn't ask for all the details. The Queen is just about to say something but, Poppy beats her to it. He is very chatty for a turned vampire.
" What about you? ",Poppy asks curious.
" Not really important. ",Branch informs bluntly.
Poppy didn't like her answer and he isn't going to accept it. He wants to know what she was doing. An playful smile forms on his face happily. Branch just looks at Poppy as it happens.
" Oh come on,Branch! I told you so you have to tell me. It's only fair. What were you doing? You can tell me. ",Poppy says playfully and happily.
" Why do you want to so much? ",Branch asks bluntly.
" Because, I just wanna know... ", Poppy replies cutely and playful.
The Queen keeps folds her arms. She notices the cute tone Poppy is using. Branch playfully smiles and playfully shakes her head at Poppy's answer. His behavior seems a little cute to her but, she doesn't admit it. Poppy doesn't even know he is using an cutesy sounding tone at all!
" Please? ",Poppy asks playfully.
The Queen softly sighs then unfolds her arms and put them by her sides. She has a feeling this might go on for a while. Branch looks at Poppy and decides to tell him her reason for being here.
" I was just taking an walk by myself then stopped to look at something. ",Branch answers honestly.
The turned vampire smiles at her. He couldn't help himself from continuing to be playful. He is happy that Branch finally answered him. Poppy gestures with his arms and hands as he replies to the Queen's answer. He puts both his arms out forward then folds them.
" See! That wasn't so hard. Was it?",Poppy says playfully and happily.
Branch is surprised by how very innocently playful Poppy is being. She isn't use to this and isn't sure how to respond. The spy turns down his playfulness and decides to ask her about something.
" Who was that guy you were with three nights ago anyway? I saw you two by an restaurant as Eddie, Savannah and me were going one ourselves. ",Poppy says curious and softly.
That took the blue woman completely off guard! She had no idea that Poppy was there! He must had been passing by. Branch starts feeling something small,subtle and strange but, doesn't know why she feeling this way. Why is Poppy making her feel this way by telling her that he saw her? It didn't make any sense so Branch shakes it off.
" That was Maxwell. We were on our first date.",Branch answers honestly.
"Oh... How was it? Are you going out again with Maxwell? ", Poppy asks softly hoping Branch will answer.
Branch is going out with Maxwell again tomorrow night. He had asked her out moments ago. She doesn't fully how she feels about Maxwell but, she is going to give their a relationship a chance.
" The date was fine and Maxwell seemed to be a flirty nice guy... Yes,I am going out with again. ",Branch replies honestly.
Poppy starts feeling a little part of him lose happiness. He pays no attention to it and keeps his upbeat attitude. The hunter starts wondering about her next date.
" Oh,that's good. Do you like him? When's the date? ",Poppy says curious.
" Hmmm... I'm not really sure if I really like him. It takes me longer then the first date most of the time. It is rare for guys to be themselves on the first date. You should know that - ",Branch says but gets cut off.
Poppy is now confused. He didn't understand what she meant. What did she mean by he should know?
" What you mean? ",Poppy asks confused.
