The trolls all walked into the Enchanted Forest, Branch watching as they disappeared into the trees.

     He gulped, his heart racing. He wanted to go home. He wanted to just turn around and leave... but he knew he couldn't leave Poppy there. She was in danger, and he had to protect her.

     Slowly, he gathered up his courage, and then walked into the Enchanted Forest.

—————————

     In the Enchanted Forest, the trolls all ran around, exploring.

     Some of the trolls sat around a cozy camp fire, watching as the flames danced.

     Others ran around, chasing the wind. 

     In a lake, the water shot up, making different shapes like hearts and stars.

     Poppy watched, amazed, as trolls, both from Troll Village and the Enchanted Forest ran around together, laughing, playing, and dancing.

     From behind a tree, Branch watched Poppy, making sure she stayed safe.

     Something was gonna go wrong. He could feel it.

     As he stood behind the tree, the leaves on the ground began to move, as if someone, or... something... was coming towards him.

     He was so focused on Poppy, he didn't even notice.

     Slowly, the leaves began to circle around him.

     "Hugh? What the..."

     He looked down, finally noticing it, but it was too late.

     "AHHHHH!" he screamed, as the wind lifted him off the ground. "AHHH! Help! Someone help!" he cried out in fear, as he floated in the air.

     Poppy heard his cries, and turned, seeing the wind bouncing him up and down.

     "Branch?" she said, confused. Then her confusion turned to joy. "Branch! You came!"

     She ran over, stopping in front of him.

     "How are you doing that?" she asked amazed, seeing him floating.

     "I... I don't know... p... please get me down!" he whimpered.
"Here. Grab my hand."

     She reached up to him, and he reached down to her.

     Their hands touched, as Poppy tried to pull him back down to the ground, but the wind fraught back, pulling Branch higher into the air.

     "AHHH!" he screamed, as their hands were pulled apart.

     Suddenly, the wind began to twist away, like a mini tornado, carrying Branch with it.

     "Poppy!" he cried out in fear, as he was carried away.
"Branch!"
