Chapter 4

Poppy is in the Vampire Hunters' bunker. The pop troll is in a room with his team,called "The Snack Pack".  It may seem to be a stupid name for a vampire hunter team but, it is a code name. Every team in The Strings has an code name so they could send letters and messages to each other and to headquarters during patrols,missions and hunts without the vampires figuring out the hunters identities if the letters or messages get into the wrong hands.

Poppy is talking to his team but, they not just a team! Poppy's teammates are DJ Suki, Gal Diamond, Coop, Smidge, Biggie, Fuzzette, Satin and Chenille. They are also his closest friends and are like family to each other. They have been friends since they were very little trollings.

Poppy is the leader of the team. His friends are a little worried about him. Usually Poppy has them with him when he is on missions,portals and hunts but,this is one of the solo missions so he will be on his own! And for a very long time too! The mission is very risky but, they truly believe that Poppy can do it.

The whole team talk about the Vampire Kingdom. None of them had been there before. Sometimes they wonder what it looks like and what happens in there.

" What do you think the Vampire Kingdom be like?", Coop asks with a big smile on her face.

Coop is a funk mystical troll. She has dark blue short hair that is down and braided into dreadlocks,round ears, light blue legs,her face is pink and the rest of her body is covered in fur that is two different shades of pink. The fur is stripped in light pink and dark pink. Coop wears a black golf hat,a Hug Time bracelet and a black cape. She is not the smartest member in the group but, she is the most silly.

"I think it would be dark and not the most colourful...", Poppy says honestly.

It makes sense to the group that it could be like that. Vampires do seem to love red, black and darkness. They probably don't really party like trolls.

" And probably only have blood as their only restaurant item on the menus.", Gal Diamond jokes.

Then Gal does a vampire impression earning laughter from everyone else. Gal Diamond is a Pop Glitter troll. She has silver glittery skin, long and tall white hair,light blue eyes, dark grey eyebrows and a light green nose. Gal is not wearing clothes,unless you count the Hug Time bracelet, because; just like other glitter trolls she likes to be naked. It is like a cultural thing. It does not bother anyone in the team. They don't really care about the fact that Gal is naked and give her respect. After a good minute the laughing dies down.

"Good one!", Poppy says happily.

A few minutes later,The Snack Pack go to the bottom floor to find out more information about Poppy's training. They meet up with two other vampire hunters,Archer Pastry and Danny Stone. The two other hunters stand in front of the big table. The large room is bright cause there are many candles lit up.

Archer is not a troll! She is a lizard like creature. She has yellow skin,pointy ears,a tail,a dull purple and thin fin on her head and yellow eyes. She wears dull brown skirt, black boots,dull green shirt, a purple vest and a hug time bracelet.

She used to be a scout for " The Party Crashers" but, she was caught in the troll village. After months of being in the troll jail she had escaped and hunters of all kinds were sent after her. The Snack Pack and her had then got stuck in the dangerous part of the forest. They had to fight off some evil vampires then at the end of the adventure they had become friends. Archer also joined both the troll kingdom and The Strings. She is part of a team code named "The Midnight light".

Danny Stone on the other hand is a rock troll. He is tall, is surprisingly still going strong and has dull red skin,short black spiked hair with some grey hair,orange eyes and grey nose. Danny has a few tattoos in his body. He wears brown pants and a black laver vest. He also wears a necklace which is just a black rope with a small piece of magical blue crystal...

Only Danny knows what the magic crystal does and he is protective of it! Danny is one of the elders of The Strings and part of a team code named " The Fang Gang". He knows more about vampires than most of the hunters. He is a quiet a troll for a Hard Rock troll.

"Hi Archer. Hi Danny. ", Poppy greets happily.

The rest of the Snack Pack follow Poppy's example by greeting. Some of them just wave at Archer and Danny with a smile.

" Hi.",Archer greets.

"Hey...", Danny greets.

Soon Archer starts teaching Poppy how to spy on someone high profile. Being a scout, she learnt a few things. Archer is showing Poppy the basics of spying. She writes on the board on the wall. Poppy sits down next to the table listening to his teacher. Danny is just here cause he is interested in Archer's lesson while the other trolls are there to support Poppy and to see what Poppy has to do.

' Spying 101:

1) Disguise
2) Story
3) Character ', is written in white chorke on the green board on the left side of the board.

Archer turns around to the trolls.

" Your Disguise,story and character must be related to each other! Poppy, you will sort of still be yourself but, different. We will get into your official disguise, story and new character later on...",Archer says serious.

Poppy nods his head in a understanding manner. Then Danny softly says something to himself that nobody heard with a interested look in his eyes that seems suspicious while folding his arms. He is thinking about something that could maybe help him in his favour. Archer turns to back to the board. She starts writing more information on the empty side of board as she talks.

"When your playing a character as you spy you must try your best to not make others suspicious of you. You should socialize and win the person your spying on trust. Without the trust you can't get close!", Archer says.

Poppy never realized before that spying would be this complicated. He hopes that he will remember all this information. The pink troll going to have to study.
