Chapter 67
Meanwhile in the troll village, Peppy is in her pod walking into her living room. The elder is wearing an old dark yellow dress. Then an old scrapbook falls off the bookshelf from the top shelf by itself. The old Pop troll stops to look at the fallen scrapbook. Then the elder quickly walks over to it and bends down to grab her scrapbook. She gets back to standing as she picks it up looking at it.
The scrapbook has light green cover with a picture of little troll with a party hat on the middle. There is a heading in glitter that says " Poppy's 5th Birthday". The scrapbook isn't very thick but, it is not the lightest scrapbook either. Peppy smiles at the scrapbook about her baby softly for a minute then she decides to open it. The orange troll opens it to the first page as her mind flashes back to that day.
Flashback; Peppy is at Poppy's birthday party which she is hosting. The party is outside in the park of the village. It is night time. The little party has colourful streamers, yellow party lights lighting up the whole party,a big red banner that says "Happy 5th Birthday" and a long table with snacks and drinks on the left side and pile of presents on the right. There is also children games and music playing.
All of Poppy's friends and their parents are there. The children are wearing party hats and are laughing. The parents are either talking with each other or watching their children play. Peppy is sitting down on a chair watching her Birthday Boy trying to play Pin The Tail On The Critter. Peppy is wearing yellow dress and her brown jacket. The mother smiles happily to see her baby so happy.
" Can't believe he's already five...",Peppy says softly to herself.
The mother looks down at her watch and notices it will be time for cake in a few minutes. She should get the cake ready. The widowed parent gets up from her seat and quickly goes to prepare the cake so Poppy make his wish.
Soon everyone is standing around the table as Peppy stands next to Poppy who standing on a chair with his Birthday cake in front of him. Poppy is wearing green shorts with a blue strap and blue party hat. The cake is white with chocolate icing details and " Happy Birthday " written on it. There are five lit candles on the cake. Everyone is cheering happily and clapping for Poppy as he blows out his candles.
Later that night Poppy is playing with one of his new toys and his friends who are still remaining there. The party is over and some of the other parents who didn't leave yet are helping Peppy clean up. Poppy, DJ, Smidge,Satin,Chenille,Biggie,Gal,Fuzzette and Coop are playing with big and round ball in the park field very close by. Poppy laughs as he kicks the ball to Fuzzette who kicks it to Coop. There lights on in the park area so the children can see nicely.
Unknowingly to the children a few vampires are watching them... Coop kicks the ball too high sending it flying and lands in some bushes near by! Some of the children gasps as Coop says " Oopsie..." out loud. Poppy isn't mad. He just smiles as he quickly looks at the direction of where his new ball went then back to his friends.
" I'll get It! ",Poppy says happily.
Then the five year old boy runs off But, his friends wanted to help too so they run in the same direction too. They look for the ball through the different places. Poppy finds the large bush with his ball sticking out but,as he grabs it something pulls it back with Poppy.
"Woah!",Poppy exclaim surprised.
Then Poppy looks up to see an unknown evil and blood thirsty vampire,Danny in his normal form, standing and looming over Poppy creepily. Back at the party area Peppy and the other parents notice their trollings are gone then they their scared screams! All the parents immediately run in the direction of screams with their hearts pumping in fear! Peppy is fastest out of all of them and first to reach the field! The trollings run scared to their parents but, to Peppy's fear Poppy isn't with them!
The mother hears him screaming and calling for her! She spots the vampire trying to attack him trying to pull Poppy into the bushes! On instinct Peppy dashes to Poppy grabibng big and strong stick as her weapon. Nobody attacks her baby without facing her! The mother strikes the vampire in the head making him let go of Poppy who runs and hides behind her scared and crying. Other vampire hunter's join in the battle fighting off the vampires as Peppy protects her son.
After one vampire got away and the other ones were killed Peppy hugs Poppy. The five year old holds on tight to his mother scared and crying. She is on both of her knees. Peppy does her best to comfort him reassuring him that he is safe with her now. Poppy continues to cry still scared of what happened.
" Shh! Shh!... It's okay... Mommy has you. Your safe... I promise nothing will happen to you as long I'm here...", Peppy says comforting and promising softly.
The flashback ends as Peppy stares at one of pages frowning. She let's out a heartbreaking sigh to herself. She remembers that night like the back of her hand. There is nothing Peppy wouldn't do to protect Poppy. She wishes that she could had got there sooner so the vampire couldn't get his hands on Poppy.
Nobody was bitten or got hurt luckily but, Peppy became more determined to protect her only child and be a better Vampire Slayer. Nothing can get between a mother's love and care for their trolling. This is especially true for Peppy. Back then it was easier to do and protect Poppy but, with Peppy's old age she had trouble sometimes. She had to stand back nowadays since he is all grown up but, nothing will take away her love and care for him!
The elderly woman closes the scrapbook slowly then puts it back in it's place on the shelf. She misses Poppy so much But, she knows that all she can do is support and believe in him. Poppy isn't a little boy anymore But, a man. He can handle himself. Then the mother looks at a framed picture of Poppy. It is in a light wooden frame with a picture of five year old Poppy a big fudge Sunday. Peppy smiles at the picture adoringly.
" No matter how old you get you will still be my little baby...",Peppy says softly to the picture.
