Chapter 66
Branch walks slowly with Poppy chatting on and on right beside her annoying her by accident. The Queen just rolls her eyes as Poppy continues talking happily. The Spy doesn't notice her eye roll as he walks beside her.
" Then the fireworks went off and looked crazy up in the sky!",Poppy say honestly and happily.
" Sounds unnecessary. ",Branch comments blankly.
Poppy doesn't really get how the fireworks display was 'unnecessary'. The party wouldn't had ended on a crazy party note officially if the fireworks weren't lurched. Branch had seen the trolls fireworks displays over the years. She usually could see them from her bedroom window easily. She didn't really see the point of making the displays so loud and big. It would disturb the peaceful quiet of Vampdom sometimes and literally made every vampire in Vampdom pause for a brief moment before going back to their lives.
"What you mean?",Poppy asks.
" It's like your trying to put an big target on your backs. I can even hear and see your fireworks in my castle and your troll village and Vampdom are miles apart! It's no wonder why anyone here can probably find the village so easily during your loudly noisy, out of control seeming and massive parties.",Branch replies honestly and blankly.
Poppy gives the Vampire Queen a disagreeing and not amused look as he looks at her for a few seconds. Sometimes Branch could be a Killjoy to the Party Animal. They are so completely different from each other but, honestly that also pulls Poppy to her more. Nobody else could pull Poppy in like that. Branch glances at Poppy for a second quickly noticing the look then ignores it not really caring about it. Then suddenly they hear a male's ,Terence,voice making then stop in their tracks! And it sounds too close to Branch's dismay!
" Hey Princess. Did you miss me?",Terence says flirty.
Branch groans more annoyed quietly to herself. Poppy blinks at her confused. He didn't understand why she suddenly became so annoyed. Then Terence moves from put of nowhere to in front of them! Poppy looks at Terence confused and starting to recognize him as Branch mumbles something lowly and quietly to herself.
" kill me now...",Branch mumbles lowly and quietly annoyed.
Terence has a cigarette in his hand as he smiles at Branch flirtatiously. The Gang leader glances at Poppy for second then goes back to the Queen he bullied. Terence sees Poppy as a threat to his chance of power secretly but, won't admit it. If you ask Branch Terence has no chances but, according to Terence's cocky pride of his twisted mind he has a shot! The Gang Leader puts out his cigarette against a mailbox then dumps it in said mailbox.
" That's not a trash can,Trash Brain! What do you want?",Branch says annoyed.
"Don't be so uptight,Princess. I'm here for you. So why are you doing here? ",Terence says flirty.
" Don't call me 'Princess'! It's Queen to you and what I do is none of your business.",Branch says angrily and lowly.
Poppy notices the high level of hatred in Branch's voice. He wonders why Branch has so much hate for this vampire from the Moon festival. The spy gets a small bad feeling from Branch's reaction towards Terence. Something must had happened before but,little did Poppy know that it was more than just few things... The spy looks at Terence then at Branch as Terence speaks too flirtatious sounding to Poppy's mind.
"Oh, such a pretty face can't let go of the past. Thought we were past that after me and the gang stopped,Princess. ",Terence says very flirtatiously.
Poppy is confused even more. What Terence do that was so bad? Why does he call Branch 'Princess' even it's making Branch seem angrier and ready to give him the boot? Did Terence just referred his friends from before an innocent version of gang as Poppy does to his own friends? Or did he have an real gang? Poppy wasn't sure since Terence seemed like he did have an actual gang. And then another thing confused Poppy. He felt a little jealous cause Terence was flirting with Branch which didn't make sense to him. Then Terence tries to lift his hand closer to the Queen but, she grabs his wrist and holds it tightly in the air keeping it still. This isn't her first time dealing with Terence.
" If you try to touch me again then I will make you regret it! You better leave me and Poppy alone cause I'm not going to do this pointless dance with you again. Now Bye!",Branch threatens seriously.
Terence growls at Branch like he just lost his prey as she let's go of his wrist. Then before Poppy could react Branch grabs his hand then is pulled away by her as she walks past her Childhood abuser. Poppy felt a little spark of electricity go through his arm as Branch's fingers touch his hand. In that moment the spy gets lost in the spark and the moment itself.
Terence watches Branch walk away fast with Poppy and her dignity glaring upset! The Gang Leader didn't like how Branch had her powers in both over the Vampires and the ones she was born with. He always believed that if anyone should have that power it's him! The evil vampire then more his glare onto Poppy as he disappeared from sight with Branch.
" So she rather take a pathetic turned vampire spy over me? ", Terence says lowly and evilly to himself.
Soon Branch and Poppy stops at the coffee shop they shared a coffee at unknowingly. Branch let's go of Poppy's hand causing him to starts recovering from his brief daze. The Queen let's out annoyed sound as she takes a few steps away from Poppy.
"Why won't he just leave me alone? I don't want him!", Branch says unhappily and annoyed.
Poppy has recovered from the sudden spark of electricity that went through him. Branch didn't actually use her special power when she touched Poppy's hand earlier but, he did feel something that never happened to him before! The pink vampire looks at Branch worried by how happy she is.
" Branch? Are you okay?",Poppy asks concerned softly.
Branch's ears perk slightly at Poppy's voice. She isn't exactly feeling alright. The vampire woman let's out a sigh to herself then turns around to face Poppy. The spy gets a stronger feeling that there is even more to what happened back there with other vampire.
" I'm fine. I just can't stand that guy! ", Branch says simply and softly but,she wasn't fine.
Poppy could hear it in her voice that she wasn't fine. He frowns sadly at the blue vampire. The spy didn't care if Branch shut him out for asking again. He just wanted to help her and comfort her.
"Are you sure about that? And who was that guy?",Poppy asks still concerned.
"Yes! Whatever floats your boat. That's Terrence. He isn't worth wasting your time on. Trust me. I had a lifetime of him being around.",Branch says annoyed then softly and honestly.
" What did he do that was so bad?", Poppy asks.
" I don't want to talk about it...", Branch says honestly and softly.
