A/N
Here's more and I was nearly going to delete this but Inyunaruto365 told me I should just keep writing this as I know somebody will review it.
I hope you enjoy.
That night Kat couldn't sleep as she was having bad dreams and remembering things that had happened in the shelter as her dark green eyes opened but sadness were in them but she wondered if Cookie was awake or asleep as she got to her feet but used her long cane to find where she was going but she heard whimpering from a bedroom knowing that Cookie wasn't sleeping so good either as she opened the door softly but found him tossing and turning and mentioning somebody named Brogan.
The male ogre's eyes opened slowly feeling her there as he had a feeling she hadn't been in the mood to sleep either as she sat on the bed cross legged but she was quiet.
"Who's Brogan?" she asked softly.
"He was a friend I cared about.
He hurt me by leaving." Cookie said.
Kat understood as she knew how it felt to be alone.
"Did you ever live in a shelter?" she asked.
Cookie sighed at that.
"Yes I-I did.
I was abandoned on the day of my birth by my parents but humans found me but brought me to a shelter in Far, Far Away where I grew up alone and miserable but then Brogan came and everything changed.
You were in a shelter too, right?" he told her.
"I'd rather not talk about it." she answered.
He understood hearing her yawn.
He then saw her curl up on the bed as her eyes closed.
He smiled seeing her asleep.
Rumpel smiled as he'd escaped but was in hiding so the resistance couldn't find him but he knew that Brogan had left making them upset and not want to be fighting against him but he knew that Cookie was sad and could use this to his upper hand knowing that the chef cared about Brogan and smiled evilly...
Kat awoke later the next morning smelling breakfast as she got up but entered the living area as she heard sounds from the kitchen knowing Cookie was awake but was probably fixing breakfast for himself and for her.
She knew that he'd wanted to know more about her but she just couldn't reveal about herself yet but she would find the courage to someday but not right now.
She then heard footsteps knowing they belonged to Cookie as the ogre chef smiled seeing she was up.
"Morning Kat.
I see you slept good.
I woke up at the ctack of dawn." he said.
She nodded in reply as she was following him into the kitchen.
Cookie was guiding her in there after Merlin had shown him but he was worried about how the others would react to Kat because she was different but would help her.
He then remembered he had to go to the market to get supplies as Kat was curious hearing that and wanted to go with him grabbing her long cane but he was worried about how others would treat her.
He knew that things would be fine...
Kat then smiled as the wind was blowing through her black and violet hair as they were walking to the market in Far, Far Away as Cookie was quiet but wondered what was bothering him but he didn't want to tell her as he didn't want to upset her but sighed as he went tp get supplies but Kat was looking around using her senses and long cane but she heard snickering as some other girls were looking her way as they surrounded her.
"I've never seen a blind ogre before.
Your parents must be ashamed.
Where're they?" Marie asked.
But Kat didn't have to answer as Cookie came over clutching a few sacks of groceries but he saw Marie and her girls around Kat and growled scaring them away.
"You okay?
What did they do to you?" he asked.
"It's okay.
They're just punks." she answered him.
He knew she was trying to be strong in front of him but could see she was upset about Marie and those girls but he knew that she'd probably been around kids like that most of her life.
He then decided to make herbal tea as they got home.
Kat sighed as they were back in Cookie's home but was remembering what Marie had said but was trying to ignore her comments as she was sipping herbal tea that Cookie had brewed and it was delicious yet calming but Cookie saw her trumpet shaped ears droop in sadness but he knew it was to do with what had happened at the market but he put a hand on her shoulder comfortingly.
"Baby girl you shouldn't let Marie get to you.
She's just a brat." he reassured her.
"Yeah but what she said hurt.
She has no idea what it's like to be different." she answered.
He nodded in reply.
"You may be a little different but you're awesome.
Marie's just a jerk.
I know you'll find a friend who likes you." he answered.
She knew that he was right.
She hoped he was right.
She began to relax in his presence.
Cookie was stunned that fatherhood was helping him heal.
He then started humming something.
It always calmed him down when he had been nervous.
Kat then fell asleep but he was feeling better.
He then went to fix dinner.
