A/N- I was watching Shrek 1 and listening to the commentary that gave me the idea for this. I know Farquaad's a little nuts but I think it's just how he copes with being disabled, being shorter than other people, the same way I use Shrek to help me vope with being disabled. Enjoyeth!
Shrek was woken up in bed. It was raining outside and a storm was raging outside. Somebody was outside the door of his house. It was an ogre teen with snow white fur, slender bodied with blue skin and green eyes.
His name was Snowgre and he'd just escaped from the rest of his family. He was Shrek's cousin. He was wearing a hooded cloak which hid many bruises along with cuts and dried tears. He then fell onto the door step, out of energy from running. "Please Shrek open the door." He thought as everything went black…
In another part of Duloc Thelonius was with Farquaad. His master had been reincarnated back to life by his love. "What's been going on?" he asked the half ogre/human hench man. "A selfish ogre named Mariott has overtaken the kingdom, made it worse on the people since your reign. We might need some help." He told him.
Snowgre heard Fiona and Shrek talking as he came around. "What were you doing out here in that weather?" Shrek asked him. "I… was escaping from family. You're the only one who'd understand my ambition." The ogre teen replied.
"What do you mean?" Fiona said gently. "I… I want to be a knight." Snowgre blurted out. Shrek smiled at that. He understood that because he'd wanted to be a knight but pressure from his family crushed them. Fiona looked shocked at the cuts and bruises on Snowgre's face. "We got into a huge fight." He told her.
Farquaad scowled as he looked at the swamp. He knew there was no choice but to ask Shrek for help but was worried. He never meant to be a control freak. He was like that when ruling Duloc because it helped him to cope with being disabled. Thelonius understood that. He knew it was hard for Farquaad to cope with being smaller than everyone else. Never felt loved or accepted by his peers.
Snowgre knew the pain of being alone too because he was disabled. He'd hidden his symbol cane in his back pack so nobody would know. His and Shrek's family along with his other cousins mocked him for being half blind. It made him upset and still did. "If they find out, they'll just hate me too. All I want is for somebody to look beyond my sight problems. It'll never happen." Snowgre thought as he ate some soup. But later that night Farquaad came into the house just as Snowgre was transforming into a were ogre. Shrek heard him and was scared.
Snowgre had never gotten in touch with the monster in him but being bitten by a were ogre could change that. "What do you want?" Shrek yelled at Farquaad. "I need your help. Your father has taken over the kingdom. Call him off!" he replied. Shrek then removed Snowgre from him by force. "I never meant to mess up Duloc or hurt you guys. I do those things because I'm disabled. Mt being shorter than others counts as well as those who are blind or in a wheel chair." Farquaad told them as the sun rose and Snowgre calmed down as he became himself again. Shrek felt nervous when he found a symbol cane in his cousin's bag...
