The Wizard and the Demon
Ch 4
Shrek then woke up round early evening.
He walked into the main area of the dorm room.
He saw that everybody was still around except for Leah.
"I've a bad feeling about where she went.
She must've gone to look for Carley.
We've got to find her.
She'll be an easy target for Una!" he thought as he saw Snowgre and Jables go out.
They were going to find Leah before she got hurt or worse.
Leah was in the woods looking for Carley, calling out to her.
She then heard something growl but it sounded gentle.
Something came out of the shadows.
It was a Rock Demon and it looked like the one from the dream she'd had last night.
"Carley? Is that you?" she said gently to it.
"Hey Leah." She replied.
Leah was right.
It was her friend.
She felt that her friend wouldn't hurt her.
"Are you… afraid because I'm this?" Carley asked her.
"No I know you're still you just different on the outside.
Let's go home. The others were worried." SHE REPLIED.
Carley nodded at that.
"They're going to be scared of me because they'll think I'm Una." She said but then got an idea.
Una could change into any form he felt like.
She then focused on being herself on the outside.
Leah smiled as she dropped to her knees but she helped her up.
She had managed to change into her normal human self.
Leah saw sadness in her eyes as they entered Worchester.
She knew her friend was worried about being a Rock Demon but she and Leah were keeping it bwtween them.
Carley smiled as the others saw her and Leah enter the dorm room.
"You're back! And safe." Shrek thought as he watched Carley go to take a shower.
He then went with Leah into another room.
She saw worry in his eyes.
"Something bad is happening to Carley, isn't it?
Please tell me!" he begged her.
He'd seen the pentagram bite mark on Carley's neck.
Leah sighed.
"Una made her a Rock Demon but she's not evil.
She didn't wanna tell the others because you'd all think she was like Una." she answered.
"I know she wouldn't be an evil freak like Una.
I'm not mad or freaked out but maybe we should tell the others." he replied as he walked out of the room with her.
It was midnight as Leah walked into the room.
Carley was in bed but still awake. She was nervous about what the others would think.
Also she was afraid of herself.
"Leah... am I gonna be evil now I'm a Rock Demon?" Carley asked softly.
Leah was shocked by that but understood.
"No you won't. You're too nice to go evil. Una may have made you a demon on the outside but you're still you on the inside.
We'll figure out a way to help you with your powers." Leah answered as she wrapped her arms around her.
Carley then felt Leah's lips touch her's.
"I feel better.
Goodnight Leah." she thought as she fell asleep.
Shrek was watching them through a crack in the door.
He was worried. He knew this would slay his friend's confidence further...
Jables then heard guitar music come from the forest...
