Douxie's POV:

The year is 2021 in the small town of Arcadia Oaks California. The town we once called home has been completely abandoned by its human inhabitance, and not by choice.

Flashback about 3 years ago, the ninth configuration has reunited and our memories of the previous timeline had been restored and Tobias Domzalski became the new Trollhunter.

The night was like any other as the 3 best friends, Toby, Jim, and Claire are out on patrol for the night when they come across a strange creature. It looked like a human but acted like a troll and parts of its body looked like it was made of stone.

Nobody knew what it was, but they could agree on one thing. It was unlike any troll they have ever seen before. . .

No one's POV:

"What the heck is that?!" Toby asked in shock and fear. "A changling?"

"No, definitely not a changling." Jim said seriously. "But it's not a troll either, I have no clue what it could be."

"Was there anything like this in the other timeline?" Claire asked, feeling hopeful as she thought that if Jim knew what it was, they could stop it easily. "I can't quite remember."

"I'm afraid not." Jim said honestly. "I have never seen anything like this before."

At that moment the creature charged at Jim, instantly going in for a bite. He screamed in pain and his friends gasped in horror as the creature's jaws gripped his arm.

"Get away from him you freakazoid!" Claire shouted as she activated her shadow staff and ran towards the monster.

"Jimbo!" Toby screamed before holding up the amulet to say the incantation. "For the glory of Merlin, daylight it mine to command!"

With that said, magic armor appeared on Toby and as well as a sword. After a while, Claire was able to get the creature off of her boyfriend as Toby finished it off.

"Man, that things was ugly." Toby said as the armor deactivated before he suddenly realized the state of his friend. "Oh my gosh, Jim!"

Toby ran over to Jim, who was holding his arm. "Tobes. . ." Was all he was able to get out before passing out from the pain.

Douxie's POV:

Thats when a portal appeared in the book shop and I knew exactly who it was.

"Claire?" I asked as I turned around to see Toby with a worried look on his face. "Oh, Toby. What's going on? Where's Jim and Claire?"

At that moment I saw Claire walk through the portal with Jim in her arms, unconscious. "Douxie!" She said in a worried tone.

I saw the state of Jim and immediately rushed over to help move him to a more comfortable place to lay. "Bloody Belroths, what happened?" I asked as I started to tend to his wound.

"We were attacked by this strange new troll creature." Claire explained, helping with her boyfriend. "Jim was bitten and soon after, he passed out."

"Okay, well, everything should be fine." I said, trying to calm the brown and white haired girl down. "I'm sure as long as the bite doesn't get infected, he should heal up in no time."

"How do you know that?" Toby asked. "This creature wasn't like any troll we've ever seen. Plus, trolls don't usually bite."

"Toby's right, what if this is something more." Claire said, ominously. "We know nothing about this creature it must have been infected somehow."

"What makes you say that?" I ask, curiously as I raised an eyebrow.

"Think about it, this thing was almost zombie-like." Claire said as a matter of factly. And when zombies bite, it infects the victim and turns them into a zombie!"

"Everything's going to be fine." I said as I put my hands on Claire's shoulders. "Jim will be okay, but if you're that worried I can have him quarantined and monitored to make sure."

"Thanks, Doux." Claire smiled as she took a deep breath to calm down. "I appreciate it a lot."

"No problem." I smiled. "That's what friends are for."

Little did I or any of us know that this was the start of something much more. . . apocalyptic than we could've guessed.

To be continued. . .
