Bridget rolled into her room and flopped on her bed. "That was the greatest day of my life! Thanks Poppy!" Bridget say before Poppy nodded back. "Even you I guess." Bridget said to Branch. "I just never thought something like that could happen to me and it just did. I'm so exited i could just scream!" Bridget said letting out a weak scream. But moments later, Bridget heard Chef yelling her name. "BRIDGET! BRING THAT TROLL UP HERE THIS INSTANT!" Chef yelled. Poppy gulped. "Im coming with you." Branch said. "Branch no. you ca-" Poppy couldn't finish her sentence. "I promised your dad i would return with you. And I'm not gonna break that." Branch snapped. "Branch, Chef won't do anything to me. She knows I'm the happiest troll so she's gonna feed me to Gristle... If we don't escape and thats tomorrow night." Poppy said. "You can hide in my pocket." Bridget suggest pointing to a pocket on her shirt. Branch nodded "OK fine but she better not hurt you." Branch said to Poppy. Bridget put Poppy back in her cage and put Branch in her shirt pocket. Bridget walked up to the kitchen where Chef was waiting. Chef took the cage looked Poppy in the eye. "Ah Princess Poppy, how are you this evening?" She asked sarcastically. "I was a lot better until I saw you." Poppy replied. Chef scowled. Chef pulled out a knife, opened the cage and pinned Poppy between the bars in the back. "Listen pinky, tell me where the others are. NOW!" Chef demanded. Poppy Scoffed. "I don't have to tell you anything." She said. Chef then pushed the knife a bit harder into the little troll. It stung and Poppy whimpered, but she wouldn't ever tell Chef where they were. "Push all you want ugly-fugly. Im not telling you anything." Poppy said in a very chill manner. Chef got angry. But she knew she couldn't kill Poppy. Poppy was to be fed to King Gristle. But Chef had quite a bit of Knowledge when it came to the trolls. "Fine. I'm sure you wont mind if I steal your cowbell." Chef said intimidatingly. Chef grabbed poppy and shook her while holding her upside down. All of her stuff came out of her hair. The scrapbooks, some invitations, and of course, a cowbell. "No! Don't do this please!" Poppy begged. "No. sorry. You don't want to tell me, then i will find out my self." Chef replied before walking away. Branch hopped out of Bridget's Pocket and tried to comfort Poppy who was hyperventilating. "Calm down Poppy." He said. "No Branch! I cant! Everyone's gonna die because of me! Everytime they hear that cowbell, they all gather around to where it is. Arrrrghh!" Poppy said in frustration. All she could do was just wait and see what would happen.
