Stream's POV

I'm a reckless 11 year old, living alone in a dangerous forest. How did I get here? Well, I was playing with my brother. Our mother asked Creek to get ready. I could see the worry and sweat on her face. Being an only mother was hard for her. I was the reason my parents separated. "Too dumb to live!" had been the reason. My mother was a criminal and Creek helped with her robberies and evil plans to take over the Trolls. I was 2 at the time, not knowing my family were in big trouble. We got ready. Well, by that I mean 'he' got ready. I wasn't allowed. Too young may be the reason that popped into most trolls' minds but no. It was because I was considered a dumb child. No one ever liked me. So I escaped when I was six. Creek was 20 years old. No one ever really cared.

I cared for Creek with every part of my heart. I hugged him and kissed him like a loving sister would. But he treated me the opposite. I gave up my dessert for him, did his chores, made his bed, cleaned his room and left him chocolates I had paid for with my own money. But what did he do to me in return? Tie me up, leave me in a room and threaten to kill me. My mum didn't quite love me either. I had to leave, so I did. I built myself a shelter in the middle of the forest and I found berries to eat. I'm quite the survivalist I would say. Creek and I are 14 years apart. But that didn't mean I didn't love him. Now I want revenge. Not the bad revenge Creek wants, but the peace restored to Trollsville. The perfect revenge. I planned not to get help from anyone. But now I think Branch and Poppy might be my only hope.

Creek tried not to be evil. But evil took over him in the end. And there is NOTHING I can do.

Poppy's POV

That troll sure was a life-saver. She was so young, putting her life on the line for us. I really need to repay her someday. But Creek's face was filled with hate and disbelief when he saw her. I mean his face is always like that... but still. He must know the girl. Incredibly unlikely because we never knew her, but there is a chance. Millions of thoughts were racing through my mind. Then she caught up to us. "H-hi w-w-wondering if I could.... um stay with you for a bit." she mumbled. "Sure!" I said. Branch gave me a look of, 'I don't know if we can trust her yet' and I stared at him. "What's your name?" I asked politely. She said, "Well, you won't believe me and you'll throw me out... It's Stream." I looked at her. She did resemble someone. Hmmm... "Creek's sister.." she stuttered. Branch gave me a look of, 'Nope. We can't trust her.' I ignored him. "Are you evil?" Branch questioned. Stream started crying, a stream of tears going down her face. "Branch, give her a chance." I murmured. "My family wanted to kill me. They think I'm stupid. I escaped. I've lived in the forest for 5 years." She pulled herself together. "I need your help." she said. "What can we do?" She explained her plan.
