I Can Count On You
A/N Here's my new Shrek fic which I just got the idea for and decided to write it to see how it would work and so far I like it and hope my fellow Shrek lovers do too.
Prologue.......
Artie smiled as his newborn daughter Melody was in her crib.
He was so amazed that all this had happened to him, first being a king, getting married to a princess who'd been disowned by her kingdom because she wouldn't marry a prince she hated and now they had a child.
Melody had Artie's green eyes and loved both her parents even though she was just an infant.
But she was a good baby and never cried a lot only sometimes.
But that night Artie heard Melody crying and ran into the child's room. A stranger with wings was over the crib.
"Hello Your Highness." the Fairy Godmother said in her sweet voice.
"What do you think you're trying to pull?" Artie yelled angrily ashe prepared to fight but the Fairy Godmother smiled at him.
"Let's just say this is revenge....... on your ogre friends for ruining Charming's life and I'll make sure you pay" she cackled with Melody in her arms but the infant was crying loudly.
"Stop this now!
She has nothing to do with any of this!" Artie said as the Fairy Godmother opened a portal with her magic and put Melody through it.
Artie watched as it closed with anger in his emerald eyes.
"I swear you'll pay but where did you send her?
I need to know!" he demanded.
"I sent her to a world where there is no magic, where only humans live.
A world called Earth." she answered as she vanished.
Artie sank to his knees in sadness after she'd left.
He couldn't believe this had happened to him, that the Fairy Godmother would've taken his only child and sent her somewhere where he and his wife Musa couldn't go and bring her back.
Musa hugged him as he got to his feet.
"Don't worry Artie.
I'm sure one day we will be reunited with her and we will be a family again.
One day soon......" she reassured her husband.......
But in a world called Earth, Melody had landed on the door step of a woman's door step. The infant was scared wanting her parents but saw the door open as somebody bent down and picked her up.
"What a cute babe.
Her parents must've left her here but there's no note.
That's strange." the twenty four year old said as she saw the locket around the infant's neck.
"Melody huh?
That's a really nice name for a baby.
I think I'll keep you." she told her as she picked Melody up gently.
The infant seemed to like this stranger.
For some reason she reminded her of her mother back in Far, Far Away.
Melody would grow up not knowing about her real parents or her real life but in the meantime this would be home........
