You're Not Alone

Ch 1

A/N Another new fic. I was listening to Hero by Superchick one of my fave songs and this inspired me to write this. Also this is a sequel to my other fic Keep Holding On.

Also the condition Snowgre has is real. It's a very rare genetic disorder. I have it. It affects your sight and other areas but my Mom and my friend Leah know more about it. You can look up about it if you're curious.

Another day at Duloc High but Dracon cackled as the final bell rang.

He was Astra's son and an ogre bully.

He had violet skin like his father, blue eyes, slender and a cruel heart.

He'd only moved here a few weeks and he was picking on somebody, Snowgre.

He picked on him because he had a symbol cane and was half blind.

Mikaz watched as Snowgre closed his locker.

It looked like he was about to cry.

Dracon had put flyers in his locker which had a not allowed sign and an eye in the middle which was the symbol of visual impairment.

"Snowg… please don't listen to him.

You may be half blind with no night vision and tunnel vision but you're a wonderful person.

Besides freaks like Dracon are insecure losers." He told him.

"Yeah…. I guess." The ogre teen said sadly as they walked out of the building.

Mikaz was Snowgre's only friend, a human one who was a goth like him and into music.

They wanted to form a band together.

Snowgre sighed looking at his arm and hand.

There were bruises from lunch on them.

Astra had told Dracon to bully Snowgre because it was revenge on Shrek, Snowgre's cousin for stopping his fun.

"I wish he'd leave me alone.

If Shrek found out, things would get worse for me.

It's better if I stay quiet." He thought as he approached the swamp, his furry body hiding the bruises.

He saw Puss and Artie there instead of Shrek and Fiona.

"They went on their anniversary thing so we're looking after the triplets for them along with you." Artie heard Puss say.

"Sure." Snowgre replied sadly going into his room and closing the door.

"That's weird.

He never does that when ever we're here.

I should go talk to him." Artie said.

Puss agreed.

Snowgre sighed as he sat at his desk and put some paper and started to draw.

Besides being good at music, he was good at art and drew manga.

He had made up a hero like the ones in the manga books he read.

It was his escape.

He had a rare thing in his genes.

It was BBS or Bardel Biedl Syndrome which made him half blind and affected him in other areas such as interaction with peers. It also meant his retunas were slowly dying and when that happened, he'd be totally blind.

This made him shy, not confident and had low self esteem.

He'd only found out before starting high school this Fall when Fiona noticed he wasn't himself.

His parents went bombastic when they heard and refused to have a disabled teen in the family.

They'd told other members of his family to ignore/hate him.

Shrek was the only one who didn't treat him that way along with Fiona and the others.

Artie had no clue.

"Hey you okay?

You… seemed sad coming in." Artie told him.

"I'm fine.

Thanks for the concern Artie." Snowgre mumbled.

"Okay I'm just worried." He said leaving.

Snowgre sighed but had an idea on how to lift the blues a little.

He grabbed his wallet and put it in his jeans pocket.

"Portalus Openus!" he said as a portal appeared and he went through it…

He arrived in a street outside a comic shop called Forbidden Planet.

He smiled as he opened the door and went in...
