Chapter 5




It was morning.

Chef had made it back to her trailer and went inside.

She had opened her bag of captured Trolls and put them each in a cage, and Trollex was put in a fish bowl.

As the leaders got up, they all saw that Chef clearly had a crazy obssession with finding the Trolls.

Chef looked at them and said, "Finally, my plan for revenge is put into motion."

Poppy shouted, "I don't understand. It was just the Pop Trolls that you had problems with! What do you need them for?"

Chef smiled and answered, "True, it's mostly 'Pop' Trolls that gave me a hard time, but seeing as there are different kinds of Trolls, I can get my revenge on all Trolls."

Poppy then shouted, "But, that's crazy! You've never even met the other Trolls until now!"

Chef then grumbled and said, "Don't try and make sense of revenge! It cheapens it!"

King Quincy then said, "No matter! At least our people our safe and there's nothing you can do to find them!"

Chef replied, "You're right. I don't know where they are...which is why you're going to tell me!"

Queen Essence asked, "And why would we tell you?"

Chef answered, "Well, since one of you Trolls were willing to sell every other Troll out that one time, I figure at least one of you may have the same cowardice!"

Poppy said, "If you're referring to Creek, then you're out of luck! Not one of us you have now would stoop as low as he did!"

Chef just made a smug smile and said, "One of you will crack. For now, I'll give you until tomorrow morning to give me the answer I want. I believe one day in cages should give you second thoughts on what you want to tell me. If you all continue to hold your tongues then, I guess I'll just resort to more drastic measures."

Chef then left the room, slamming the door behind her.

The leaders just sat there, trying to figure out what to do.

Barb asked, "What sort of 'drastic measures' do you think she means?"

Delta answered, "I don't know. But, I do know that we can't tell her where the other kingdoms are."

King Quincy looked at Poppy and said, "Poppy, she knows where your home is. Do you think your people will be alright?"

Poppy answered, "Yes, Branch has a Bergen-proof survival bunker. It's heavily fortified with booby traps. Even if she did find them, she couldn't get them."

Trollzart then said, "Also, she clearly has no idea where the other kingdoms are. So, as long as our Trolls went home, they should be fine."

Trollex said, "All of you are right. But, right now, we need to figure out how to save ourselves. If we don't...well, it won't matter if she never finds them; If she kills us, they'll have no chance of survival."

Poppy smiled and said, "Don't worry. I'm sure Branch already has a plan to save us."

Barb asked, "What makes you so sure?"

Poppy replied, "You don't know Branch like I do. He'll never give up."
