Stories

Whip sat on her pillow listening to her best friend, Star, tell a story. Whip would have liked to be the one reading, and she had a feeling Star would have like that too, but it was impossible. Whip was blind.

"'You know, I always thought I rescued you from the tower.'" Star read. "'You did.'" Whip smiled, Star used a different voice every time someone different was talking. "'No, it was you who rescued me.'" Whip sighed. She loved the stories about Shrek. "And then they shared true love's kiss again. The end."

"Wait what?" Whip jolted up. "That can't be the end."

"Why not? Shrek went back to his reality and liked it more than before."

"But what about the ogre resistance, and the witches and Rumple and the Piper. What happened to them?"

Star let out one of those fast loud breathes. There was a short silence. "Well. . ." Whip could tell Star had been thinking. "I'm not sure, but I think Shrek imprisoned Rumple, then found everyone from the alternate reality and brought them to the swamp."

"But. . .wouldn't they not remember anything?"

"I don't know Whip!" Star's voice rose in frustration. "If you have so many questions go find Shrek and ask him!"

"Easier said than done." Whip responded. Aside from being blind Whip was also a great horned owl. She'd heard somewhere Fiona could make birds blow up by singing. She wasn't sure if that was true but she didn't want to find out the hard way.

Star sighed. "Night Whip." She walked out of the room and shut the door.

Whip slumped against the wall. In all truth, she was tired of life here. She was the princess of the Sky Kingdom, and boy was that a pain. All her 'friends' were nice to her because she was royalty not because they liked her, even Star. And there were the rumors. Everyone talked, and for some reason they seemed to think she couldn't hear them. I'm blind not deaf. She thought.

That was just the problem really. If Whip wasn't blind she would have run away by now. She was pretty good with metal, she could go to Far Far away and become a black smith. But she was blind, so that was impossible. She wouldn't even know when she'd reached Far Far Away. She yawned. She'd been up long enough. She relaxed further into her pillow and went to sleep.
