More of the story and Cookie finds out about Fiona but promises Brogan not to tell about her secret but she knows that Fiona is like them.
i hope people like.
Brogan sighed while training later that day along using weapons and swords as he was letting off steam knowing a lor of his comrades had been whispering about Fiona but he had to protect her because he was the only one that knew her little secret as he'd seen her asleep in human form before leaving for breakfast but wasn't angry ot upset but knew she was lonely remembering that she'd been locked up from what he'd heard.
He stopped as sweat blurred his vision as it ean down his body but needed to check up on Fiona but made sure none of the others had went into his tent but shivered knowing Cookie went into his tent to bring lunch and cursed under his breath heading to his tent but was too late hearing the female ogre chef whimper but he entered seeing Fiona shaking and Cookie just staring at her.
"I-I can explain." Fiona said as Cookie was in shock.
"Cookie it's okay.
This is the one who is like us by night.
She needs us.
I need you to trust me.
You have to promise me not to tell the others.
They wouldn't understand." he said to her.
"I promise Brogi.
Why rescue her?" she answered.
Brogan didn't reply seeing her leave but heard Fiona sniffle as he knew that she was sad about this and how the others would react seeing her like this but knew she was one of them inside but he stroked her hair gently.
"Don't worry Fiona.
It'll be okay.
I'll help you.
But right now stay here until night fall.
I'll make up an excuse about where you've been all day but you shouldn't be ashamed because I sense a warrior in you and we need to bring her out and then we can destroy Rumpel together.
I know you'll be amazing." he said.
"T-Thank you Brogan." she said.
"It's okay Fiona.
I need to go scout with the others but I'll be back." he told her leaving.
She nodded seeing him leave but she hoped he would be back soon as she only trusted him right now but was worried about what the others would do if they found out like Cookie had reacted.
She then decided to meditate for a while...
Brogan sighed as he and the others prepared to leave the camp for patrol but Gretchen and the others noticed he was distracted but saw him go see Cookie as he needed her to help him with Fiona which surprised her remembering this morning when she'd seen Fiona as a human but knew that Brogan was her best friend and would do anything for him as she left after he and the others had left but entered the tent finding the red haired woman asleep but sensed sadness knowing that things were rough for her and everyone else in Far, Far Away but went to get something to eat but heard hissing as something was in a cage.
She saw it was an orange furred cat with a sword but had an idea as she knew Fiona only trusted Brogan and needed a friend and the cat would be a good companion as she let it out of the cage and entered Brogan's tent but Fiona was startled seeing Cookie.
"It's okay, I won't hurt you.
I'm Cookie.
Don't worry.
I won't tell your little secret.
Sooner or later, they'll find out.
What I don't get is the being human now and being ogre at night?
It's a little strange.
I brought you this." she told her.
Fiona sighed looking into the chef's eyes seeing the same warmth that was in Brogan's everytime he looked at her but Cookie understood as she knew that Fiona kept to herself.
"I wasn't always like that Cookie.
A long time ago, I was just normal and living with my parents but on my birthday, a witch entered and placed a spell on me making me human by day and ogre by night so I was locked away but I hated it and thought I couldn't escape.
Until a few nights ago when I escaped by climbing down the wall of my prison.
That's when Brogan found me." she answered.
Cookie was in awe hearing this as she had a sad past too.
"My parents were taken by hunters when I was a baby.
The humans pur me in a shelter where I grew up alone.
Nobody wanted to adopt me until Brogan showed up.
He brought me to the movement.
I know what you're feeling Fiona.
We should be friends." she told her.
"I would like that.
Thanks for the cat." she said.
Cookie smiled but heard the signal meaning Brogan and the others were back from patroling but left before they saw her or got curious remembering Brogan's order not to let anybody know about Fiona's secret but hoped things were okay as she saw wounds on Brogan making her worried but he headed to his tent to clean up and to make sure Fiona was okay.
He smiled seeing her with that cat they'd captured knowing Cookie had given it to her but she was grooming it but he knew that he should start training her soon knowing the ogre that was within her.
He smiled seeing that the sun was about to set but as it did, a flash of gold light surrounded her as she transformed into her ogre form as Brogan smiled but had new clothes for her.
"Thanks Brogan." she said.
"You're welcome.
Now you look like you belong here.
Let's go get dinner." he said to her.
She nodded as she followed him out of the tent as she joined the others in the main area as they were eating and talking but Cookie saw her eating alone while thinking as Gretchen and the others were talking and telling stories as Brogan sighed knowing they were curious about her but for now until she gained their trust, she should keep to herself apart from him and Cookie but decided to start her training.
"Follow me." he said as she followed him away from there...
