In My Heart
A/N Here's more. Thanks for the reviews.
He watched as his friend began to stir later. There was fear in her blue eyes as she rubbed the sleep from her eyes. She heard Leah's voice come from the kitchen along with Fiona's. She wondered what was going on.
"You're awake!
We were worried about you." she said hugging her.
"I'm.... okay but where's Shrek?
Is he okay?" Carley asked her.
"Sort of. He's with Artie at the Poison Apple Pub. He was freaked out by Charming showing up here just as much as you. He feels really sad." Leah answered.
"Is it.... because of me he's sad?" Carley asked her.
"Charming made him freaked out because of your being twenty one this year and that you'd...... leave.
I know you never would but Charming is an evil loser." she replied.
"No damn way would that ever happen!
Charming will..... pay when we find him." the short red and black haired girl told her as they left.....
But approaching the Poison Apple Pub, Leah felt something wasn't right as Charming ambushed them.
"What do you want?" Leah heard her friend ask angrily but he cackled as he took her and vanished.
She noticed the charm around her friend's neck had glowed before they left.
Artie watched as Shrek clutched his head. It was in agony.
"W-What's going on?
Is the beer doing this?" the young King asked him. He shook his head.
"No..... Carley's in danger.
Charming took her but I don't know why." Shrek answered weakly as Leah entered the tavern. Artie realised what his friend said was true by seeing the grave look in Leah's hazel eyes.
"B-But how did he know without you telling him?
I don't get it." Artie said looking sadly at her.
"I'll explain everything when we get back to the swamp, okay?
For now help me get Shrek back there safely." she told him as they left.............
