"Stay. Away. From her." A hoarse voice said from just a few feet behind Birch. Birch quickly spun around to see who was stopping him. But as soon as he saw who it was, he sh*t himself. Branch was not standing there, he was hovering off the ground with blue flames covering his whole arms. His eyes were fully light blue and glowing. His hair was a mix between his natural colour and blue flames. (I dare someone to draw that and I'll put it as the cover).

Birch gasped and backed up away from Branch in fear. "Now, now. Branch, buddy! You wouldn't hurt your own bro-" Branch interrupted Birch and shot a fire ball at his feet. "Aahh!!" Branch kept throwing the blue flames at him while Birch ran down away to the forest. Once Birch was right in front of the forest, Branch shot one last fire at him and luckily, it hit him where it hurts.

Birch was gone and he was never coming back. So that's a positive note, but there are still the negative ones. "Oh Branch!" Poppy yelled in concern as her husband fell to the ground with a painful grunt. He laid on his side with his eyes closed and his breathing slightly unsteady. Poppy kneeled down next to him and rested his head on her lap. She took a mental list of his injuries. He had some blood dripping from the side of his mouth, he was bound to have a broken rib or two after all those kicks and he had large bruises on his stomach.

Poppy sat with Branch making sure that he was okay and breathing properly. In this time, the other trolls had come out after not seeing or hearing from their King or Queen for a while. So they all came to the front and found Queen Poppy sitting next to a very injured King Branch. The snack pack were the first ones over. They all said things like, 'is he okay?!', 'what happened?!' and things like that. All the trolls surrounded the two, asking questions and looking at Branch.

Poppy managed to quiet the crowd down and asked, "Someone please get Doc and get a (whatever those hospital moving bed things are called) to help Branch get to the (hospital hut or whatever lmao)." Immediately, DJ Suki ran off to get Doc and two other trolls went off the stretcher (I found out what it's called I couldn't be bothered to change it because this way, I have more words. Please tell me I'm not the only one :).

I'm Lazy Time Skip - Branch has been taken to the hospital and IRL it's 11:40pm and I'm really tired.

Poppy was sitting just beside Branch looking at her unconscious husband and examining his bandages around his stomach. It's been four days since Branch and Birch had the fight. And Branch had been healing well. He just hasn't woken up yet. All the trolls have been a little less cheerful knowing that their King was in pain. Poppy has not left Branch's side. The only time she leaves is too get something to eat and she comes straight back.

All her friends and her dad are saying that she needs more sleep. But she keeps saying that she gets just enough sleep, right next to Branch. All this goes on until later today.

Poppy is in Branch's room, again, and she's sitting.......and staring. At nothing in particular. Just lost in her daydream. Until, *groan* and Poppy gasps and looks at Branch. "Branch!" She yells/whispers. Branch looks over towards his wife and smiles slightly. "Poppy." His voice is quiet and raspy. But he continues. "I'm so glad you're okay." Suddenly, at a rapid speed, he sits up and faces Poppy with a shocked expression and asks, "Where's Bir-?" And grunts in pain as he holds his stomach. Poppy gently pushes him back down.

"He's gone. And you need to rest. You're badly hurt." She said reassuringly. Branch then notices dark circles underneath Poppy's eyes. "When was the last time you slept?" He asked in a concerned voice. "I have slept...just.....not that much." Poppy smiled and laughed nervously. Branch smirked and said, "well, I think you should get some sleep." As he said this, he pulled up the covers and motioned for Poppy to hop in. And so she did.

Sorry this update took a while.

But it's up! And I'm sorry if it's kinda sloppy, I'm tired.

There's going to be one more chapter, it might be short, but it will shown either tomorrow or the day after.

Hope you enjoyed this chapter and sorry about the late updates, again. I'm useless, I know.

Thanks my beautiful floating sausage rolls!
