A/N

This was inspired by a drawing on DA by Rooz on here called Moonlight Crush which has Fiona with Brogan but Cookie's looking at them sadly with her trumpet shaped ears drooped sadly meaning she's liked him for a long time since childhood but never had the courage to tell Brogan but when she finally got the chance, Fiona told him or he told her about his feelings and she kind of won.

In this story, Cookie is emotionally hurting from being rejected and runs away from the only home she's known but is found by an ogre hermit who helps her but many years later, Brogan meets Cookie but she's changed but doesn't trust him but after getting injured, Brogan decides to help her and tries to gain her trust again.

In this, I decided to make Cookie a female even though Dracori stated she's male.

I hope you like.

Prologue...

Cookie scowled as she entered the kitchen as it was her sanctuary from the world that hated her and her kind but she was feeling rage and her heart was hurting because for a long time, she had a crush on Brogan since he'd found her in a shelter at seven years old but she knew that Brogan had always cared about her but when Fiona had joined the movement, she noticed Brogan had always been staring at her.

But then she'd left after she'd kissed that strange ogre male and restored things to normal but even though Fiona was married to Shrek, he still had a crush on her.

Tears fell from her eyes as she felt anger as she smashed things and threw kitchen utensils everywhere as she was venting her rage but she had made up her mind.

If Broganwasn't going to notice her or truly care about her feelings, then she was leaving no matter what as she had made her last chimmichonga in the resistance as she was packing but decided not to leave an note or anything but knew Brogan wouldn't care as she saw the full moon in the night sky and sighed knowing that everybody was asleep as she left.

"I hope they understand." she said as she left in the dead of the night...

Cookie sighed as she was walking through the forest as she was looking for a place to make camp but she heard footsteps as it was a horde of hunters that were on their usual hunts but she was surrounded by them as she assumed a battle pose and was ready to fight but saw they had pitchforks and torches as they were hurting her but then suddenly there was an ear splitting roar as something lunged from a tree taking the hunters out using karate kicks and knocked pitchforks out of their hands using a cane which amazed Cookie as she saw the hunters run off as Cookie then saw the stranger that had helped her as she saw it was an ogre male wearing ninja style robes but had a long cane which lso acted like a katana sword as she noticed he was blind.

2My name is Yaiko.

I have been living in this very forest since I was very young.

What about you?" he asked her.

"I am called Cookie.

I used to work in a resistance but my trust was shattered.

So I left them but was almost dead until you came along." she told him.

A shy smile crossed the ogre male's face at that.

"Well maybe I can help you." he answered.

She wondered what he meant as she followed him deeper into the forest...

Back at the resistance camp, Brogan was worried about Cookie as he'd found she wasn't there but had seen the state of the kitchens after last night but understood that Cookie's feelings had been hurt when he'd been acting like a galoot but he wished he could take back what he'd said but had decided to go looking for her but saw Gretchen and the others return but with worry etched on their faces but he sighed knowing Cookie was probably long gone but felt bad as he saw Shrek join him but there was worry in his hazel eyes as he was worried too about Cookie and knew that she was probably safe somewhere as Brogan's trumpet shaped ears drooped sadly.

"Don't worry Brogan we'll find her.

Maybe she's hiding out in the forest.

You should make up with her." he told him.

Brogan noded as he realised his friend was right and hoped Cookie was okay.

"Let's move out." he said as Shrek smiled.

He knew that Brogan cared avout Cookie a lot and had never meant to hurt her feelings and hoped that when he'd found her, he would tell her himself how sorry he was and wanted to make up with her as tears were in his eyes making Gretchen and the others nervous but he wasn't giving up hope and hoped Cookie would be okay...

Cookie followed Yaiko into the deeper parts of the forest but was very curious about where he was taking her but there was a smile on his face as he didn't want to tell her and ruin the surprise but she was having feelings about those she'd left behind in the resistance but knew that Brogan had probably forgotten all about her by now as her anger recharged making Yaiko worried but he wondered why she was angry but wondered why as he didn't know about her but wanted to as he could help her but he then saw her calm down as they came to a huge tre house like building in a huge tree as Yaiko smiled climbed up the ladder as Cookie was in awe.

"Did you build this yourself?" she asked him.

"It was ruined when I found it as a child and decided to rebuild it so I could live there so I could hide from the world because they don't want an ogre like me as the other ogre kids made fun of me because of my blindness but then I learned how to be strong from somebody who lived in this very forest like I do now and like you will." he answered.

Cookie was in awe as she heard this but was looking forward to living here.

"I know you Cookie.

You feel low in self-esteem and confidence.

The one you care about doesn't even notice you snd cares about somebody stronger.

But I can help you learn to be strong and trust in yourself." he told her.

Cookie smiled as she knew he could help her.

Then she might return to the resistance one day and get Brogan back.

"I'd like that a lot Yaiko." she answered.

He smiled hearing this.

He knew that Cookie would be a great warrior...
