😁

Creek, a pop troll who was willing to sell out his entire tribe purely to save his own life, and he was forgiven because he said sorry. Seriously!?

You had heard what had happened from a few pop troll kids in school, and you did not understand how he could be forgiven so easily, it's not like he saved any one or did anything worthy of forgiveness, he just said he was sorry and the pop trolls instantly welcomed him back into there tribe.

You didn't get it, Creek clearly valued his own life more than anyone else's and they just forgave him in seconds, no punishments, no cruel treatment, nothing. He was treated like any other troll was, it was like nothing ever happened. And you didn't get that.

When everyone else found out, the other tribes seemed to think the exact same things you did. However though, once Poppy had heard everyone's skepticism towards Creek, she decided to invite everyone to the centre of pop village/trollstopia and prove that Creek is a good guy, thats what her invitation said.

Everyone had arrived in the centre of pop village/trollstopia, Poppy had called all the leaders and ambassadors up on a mushroom platform to talk to them about something.

"Ok guys, I know this will probably be really hard for you because you know what he's done and everything, but he truly has changed now and he hasn't tried to hurt anyone so far, so are you all ok with this?" Poppy asked

The leaders and ambassadors mumbled in worry, looking uncertain.

Before Poppy could say anything else a familiar purple pop troll landed on the mushroom platform, Creek.

"Ah Creek, nice to see you" Poppy said smiling at him

"And it is nice to see you two Poppy" Creek said in a calm tone of voice

"Creek, these are the leaders of the other troll tribes, the leaders are Queen Essence and King Quincy, leaders of the funk trolls, Delta Dawn leader of the country trolls, king Trollzart leader of the classical trolls, Queen Barb leader of the rock trolls, and King Trollex who is king of the techno trolls and his daughter princess Y/n, I assume you already know the ambassadors names, right?" Poppy asked

Creek nodded and bowed respectfully "it is a pleasure your majesties"

Everyone except Poppy exchanged nervous glances towards each other, your dad gently picked you up and held you close in a protective way.

"I understand you all need time, but believe me when I say that I truly have changed and regret what I did, I hope you can all find it in your hearts to forgive me" Creek said softly

Everyone still looked sceptical, but agreed to give him a chance, but you still weren't so convinced.

As the party went on, everyone seems to be warming up to Creek, everyone except you and your dad.

Creek was stood on top of the mushroom like platform "everyone, thank you for being so friendly, it's nice to know that not everyone is still angry at me over what happened, and I want you all to know that I am truly a changed troll and I hope that you all forgive me for everything"

"just as long as the pop trolls are ok with this" Delta said

"Well it's been a year since the incident and you haven't caused any trouble since then, so I'm giving you a chance" Holly said

Trollzart and Dante nodded along with Queen Essence, King Quincy and Lownote Jones, Val gave him a uneasy look but slowly nodded with the others "just so you know, I'm gonna be watching you!" She said glaring at him.

"Eh were good man, it may take a little getting used to though" Barb said

"You do seem like you have changed, so we're good, I guess" Synth said, but he still looked slightly uncertain, your dad nodded but also had a slightly uneasy look on his face.

All the other tribes cheered in agreement.

You suddenly felt everyone's eyes on you

Glancing up for a quick second, you were correct when you saw literally everyone looking at you.

You crossed your arms and continued to stare at the ground, the sight of him repulsed you, this party hadn't helped at all.

"What's the matter little one, don't have anything to say to me?" You heard Creek say in a soft voice. Ugh, whenever he spoke to anyone it sounded like he was mocking them, his voice was just automatically patronising

You said nothing, you still stared down at the floor, refusing to look at him.

An awkward silence went by for a couple of minutes, the only sounds that could be heard was the wind blowing and pop music in the distance. Everyone was waiting for you to say something.

"Well uh hehehe, who's ready for the next song!" Poppy said chuckling nervously, with a nervous smile on her face as she glanced at you and Creek.

This luckily distracted everyone.

As everyone was distracted with partying you slipped away to the lake, you needed to get away.

You sighed as you sat down and placed your tale in the water, you didn't get what everyone else saw in Creek, he seemed patronising and he just seemed......off, like he was faking the sympathy and remorse he was showing.

You heard footsteps behind you, you turned around to see, oh god, him.

"Why hello there princess Y/n, mind if I ask you something?" He asked looking smug

"Uhh, sure?" You said looking suspicious

"Why didn't you say anything back there?" He asked and chuckled dryly, like he was secretly angry about something

"Oh well just didn't want to talk at that moment" you said

The smug smile left his face and was now replaced with a frown

"Stop with that, I know exactly why, everyone else has already forgiven me, why can't you?" He asked sounding irritated

"Why!?" You yelled, your patience was already wearing thin, plus the feeling that he was up to something wouldn't go away.

"I'll tell you why, you were willing to sacrifice your entire tribe for your own life! I'm sorry but I cannot forgive that" you crossing your arms

He growled in anger and clenched his fists "I was just terrified for my life, I didn't have a choice!" He yelled

For a troll that was know to be incredibly calm, he was pretty hot headed

"No you did have a choice! But you chose the worst one, your nothing more than a cowardly manipulative selfish pathetic dirt covered leach that sucks on the lives of others purely for your own survival and I can tell that you don't feel a shred of remorse for what you did!" You yelled glaring at him.

He stood there in shock for a few minutes, trembling with rage. But suddenly he looked very, angry.

Before you could even react, he leaped at you, pinning you to the ground.

"you little brat! I'm going to tear you to Pieces for that!" He yelled

You tried to struggle out of his grip but it was pointless, he was a lot stronger than you.

He raised his first and was about to punch you, you closed your eyes bracing yourself.

""

You recognised that voice

The pop troll seemed to freeze in fear at the glitchy computer like voice, he suddenly screamed in pain at something, you managed to see Clampers mercilessly bitting his legs and then he was suddenly thrown off of you, you quickly sat up, panting. You were in shock over what had happened.

"What the hell is wrong with you!?" You heard Val yell

Looking over you saw your other friends, the ambassadors, leaders and your dad and uncle, they were all glaring at Creek, looking livid.

Your dad sped over to you and picked you up "Y/n, baby girl, are you ok, did he seriously hurt you!?" Your dad asked worriedly, checking you over for any injuries.

The others came over and did the same, once everyone saw that you were ok, they went back to Creek.

You hugged your dad tightly and buried your face into his chest, whimpering. The sound of his heart beat was soothing you a little.

"Shhhh, I'm here angel fish" Trollex cooed, rubbing your back comfortingly.

He looked up at Creek enraged "how dare you attack my baby!" He roared

"Yeah what was that? Attacking a literal toddler like that you should be ashamed of yourself!" Holly yelled, stomping her hoof on the ground in anger

"That little brat insulted me! I was only teaching her a lesson!" Creek said he the eyed you and your dad "I'm not surprised she's like that, after all with a bad father and a dead mother that she killed who wouldn't be messed up" he smirked having a cocky look on his face

Everyone minus you and Trollex gasped in horror

That hit you hard, how did he even know about that?

You felt your dad trembling, probably with rage.

Words could not describe how angry Trollex was

"Synth, please hold Y/n for me" he said, making an attempt to sound calm but anger could heard in his voice.

Synth quickly came over and took you off of your dad, hugging you close, you buried your face into his chest.

Trollex then shot forward at the speed of a bullet and punched the pop troll, hard.

He then grabbed his neck and pinned him to the ground "you can insult me all you want, you can even attack me for all I care, but insulting and attacking my baby and insulting my wife is toofar!" He yelled raising his fist, he was about to punch him again.

Suddenly Lownote and Holly pulled Trollex off of Creek and Poppy quickly stepped in

"Carful Trollex, you don't want to end up killing him" she said

Trollex looked at her in disbelief "your defending him!?" He yelled

"Oh no I'm not defending him, don't worry he will be dealt with for his behaviour" Poppy said in an attempt to calm the angry king of techno.

"Let me deal with him!" Trollex yelled trying to struggle free from the funk and country trolls grip.

being unable to get to him only made Trollex angrier, in a fit of rage he yelled ""

"Lex please calm down! Your scaring Y/n" Synth said, hugging you closer

Trollex looked at you and softened, you were trembling and whimpering.

He began to feel guilty, Holly and Lownote letting go of him once they saw he was now calm.

He flew over to you and Synth and your uncle handed you over to him.

You whimpered in fear, seeing your dad get that angry was actually scary, he was quite terrifying when he got angry.

Trollex frowned in worry, feeling even more guilty than before he wrapped his arms and tale around you to comfort you "shhhh, shhh, it's alright shhhh, I'm sorry baby girl, i didn't mean to scare you, everything's ok now" He cooed

You snuggled into his chest, his gentle voice and heartbeat was soothing you, the pink glow coming from his heart was also very comforting and it was also making you feel sleepy.

He gently stroked your hair and kissed you on the forehead, humming a lullaby as you dozed off and soon fell asleep.

Trollex then set his eyes on Creek, glaring at him.

"How are we gonna deal with him?" Trollex asked

"Hand him over to me, I know exactly where to put him" Delta said, glaring at the pop troll.

Creek felt dread creep up his spine, only one thought went though his mind.

This wasn't going to be good.

Later that night, you were asleep in your bed in your uncle's pod; it took a while for you to fall asleep, but after comforting hugs and a few of your favourite storybooks read to you by your uncle, you soon drifted off into a peaceful sleep.

But your see wasn't peaceful for long...

You were with Creek again, but it was in a forest you didn't recognise.

Creek himself was glaring down at you angrily; a smug sneer resting on his face as he grabbed you, pinning you to the floor.

"No! No! Let go!" You yelled in panic, fear and horror filling you as you desperately tried to struggle free.

Creek just chuckled darkly and responded coldly "oh little Y/n, there's no one to save you now..."

he then pulled his fist back and swung it at you, your eyes grew wide in fear as you saw his light purple fist flying closer to your face...

!

"AHHHH! NO!" You screamed as your eyes flew open, wide with panic. You threw the soft sheet off of you and sat up painting, sweat running down your face as tears welled up in your eyes. You painted as you looked around the room rapidly; despite registering where you were it didn't help you calm down at all.

Just then your door burst open and Synth came in looking panicked; he was panting and also sweating; likely having the shock of his life when you woke up screaming. He quickly zoomed over to you and picked you up, hugging you close "shhh it's ok my Glow stick, I'm here, your ok, shhh shhh..." Synth cooed gently, looking down at you worriedly; his heart was thumping fast and he was still in shock slightly; he checked you for any injuries and once he saw none, he calmed down.

"Shhh It's alright..." he whispered; his voice was soft and soothing. Contrasting with how loud and hyped he usually sounded.

You sniffled and buried your face into his chest, sobbing. Despite the gentle comforting tone of your beloved uncle's voice; it helped a little but not nearly enough yet.

"Shhh it's ok Glow stick, it's ok..." Synth whispered; rubbing your back comfortingly.

You sniffled and looked up at him, sobbing softly "I-I'm scared uncle S-Synthie...C-Creek, h-he was...-" you didn't finish your sentence as the last few words you wanted to get out where taken over by sobs.

Synth looked at you sadly, feeling his heart break at your cries. He hugged you closer "shhhh, shhh it's alright Glow stick, it was just a bad dream, your ok now, shhhh he can't hurt you..." he cooed softly.

You sniffled a few times, snuggling into his chest; it took about twenty minutes for you to calm down, and when you did, you quickly fell asleep mainly because the crying had tired you out more and it was already late at night.

Once Synth realised you had fallen asleep; he got up with you still snuggled in his arms and carried you into his room. He tucked you in your be ok the left side of his bed before leaving.

He'd return to his bed soon, he just had to make a call first.

Swimming into the living room, he grabbed his shell phone and dialled a familiar number.

Trollex woke up to his shell phone ringing loudly; groaning in annoyance, he grabbed it off of the bedside table and looked at the caller ID. His eyes snapped open in panic and his heart sunk when he saw the word baby bro on it; did something happen to you!? Were you sick!? Are you lost!?

Now completely wide awake, he answered it and immediately threw a bunch of questions at his younger brother rapidly "is Y/n ok!? Is she sick!? Did something happen to her!?"

"No, it's ok big bro. She's fine" Synth's hushed voice replied from the other end, easing Trollex's panic but also annoying the techno king a little. If everything was fine then why'd Synth call him at 2 in the morning!?

Before Trollex could ask however, Synth whispered "she just had a pretty bad nightmare, sorry to wake you up in the middle of the night big bro, it's just that her nightmare was about what Creek did and I thought I should let you know immediately; I'm worried about Glow stick..." Synth felt tears pricking his eyes, it wasn't fair, your just a baby...

Trollex also felt tears well up in his eyes; having the same thought as Synth "is she alright now?..." he asked sadly, sitting up a little more in his large bed.

"Yeah, she's fast asleep in my bed" Synth replied, briefly glancing over at his bedroom.

Trollex sighed sadly and wiped his tears "I'll be there to pick her up first thing in the morning, thanks for letting me know baby bro..."

Synth nodded "alright big bro, I'll see you then" he replied; after saying their goodbyes, Synth placed his shell phone down and headed back into his room, relieved to see you still asleep.

He crawled in and hugged you close, pulling the covers over both of you; smiling a little as you snuggled up to him in your sleep.

Synth yawned wildly and soon fell asleep; despite how worried he was his brain seemed to just shut down and enter sleep mode, he'd worry more in the morning...

Trollex however was still awake; his exhaustion from before was now completely gone, staring down at his bedsheet as he was deep in thought, worrying about you, about how it would effect you...

He sighed and buried his face in his hands. Whatever happened in the future, he'd be there for you, always and forever, he'd make sure no one ever laid a finger on you again...

He'd protect you.

Even if it was the last thing he'd ever do...

In the morning, Trollex wasted no time heading to techno lagoon.

The second he entered the area he made a b line for Synth's pod, knocking on the door.

Synth opened it and smiled sadly "hey big bro, she's in the living room"

Trollex nodded "thanks for taking care of her Synth" he said flying into the living room "Y/n, baby, daddy's here" he called out, looking around for you.

You crawled out from behind the sea sponge coach, looking up at him with tired eyes "daddy..." you called out to him, reaching your little arms for him, you desperately wanted to be picked up and comforted, the nightmare was still fresh in your mind.

Trollex immediately scooped you up in his arms and held you close. "Shhh, Daddy's here..." he comforted, looking down at you sadly.

Trollex left and took you home; you were silent the whole way back.

As he entered the throne room; he looked down at you as you snuggled his chest more, whimpering a little.

Trollex sighed sadly and gently caressed your cheek "baby girl, your safe now, that pop troll can't hurt you, I won't let him, I promise I will always protect you, no matter what gets in the way" he stated firmly but gently, giving you a kiss on your forehead.

You looked up at him and smiled softly; feeling a little better now, but you were mainly just tired.

"Thank you daddy, I love you" you responded softly; snuggling in his arms.

Trollex smiled "I love you too baby girl"

That was the last think you heard, causing you to fall asleep with a smile on your face, feeling safe and protected.
