Light in the Darkness

Ch 7

Snowgre felt tension as he looked at Shrek and the others, then at his father.

He didn't want to be like his father but he knew his father would hurt Shrek and the others.

"Wait! I can make my chakra powerful to take care of him.

By using Hate. I can save them." He thought as he focused on his father.

His eyes glowed with black light and black chakra surrounded him.

"W-What're you doing? I thought you were going to be like me!" Chunnin asked confused.

"You're wrong Dad.

You never cared about me at all. You hated me from the start, never believed in me.

To you, I'm just a pawn in your little game, well no more!" Snowgre yelled as he unleashed powerful chakra on his father.

Leah and the others were amazed as Snowgre joined them.

"It's okay, I'm not cold hearted anymore. Let's just say memories helped warm it up." He told them.

Shrek smiled at that.

Chunnin lay there out cold and badly wounded.

"Come on let's get out of here." Shrek said.

Fiona agreed as they walked back to the swamp.

Snowgre looked anxious as they entered the house.

Leah then walked into her room which she shared with Carley.

Carley was sitting on the bed staring into space.

"Hey you okay?" Leah asked her.

She smiled as she hugged her.

"I'm so glad you're okay! I thought you were hurt." Carley said to her as they broke the hug.

"I'm okay and so is Snowgre. He came back to Earth and decided not to destroy the kingdom.

He's like us, all alone." Leah told her.

Carley nodded.

She knew Snowgre wasn't evil, just sad.

Snowgre was sitting outside looking at the night sky.

"What's left for me now? My father wished I was never born but when I'm with Shrek and his friends, I feel like a part of something.

Maybe… they'd accept me as I am and have a family." He thought as he looked at the night sky.

"Hey. What's up?" he heard somebody say.

It was Shrek.

The ogre teen looked nervous at that.

"It's okay, I'm not mad at you.

Actually I'm proud of you." He replied softly.

"You are?" Snowgre asked worried.

"Yes. You could've gone with your father but it wouksb;t have been safe for you.

Why did you think you had to be evil yp make your dreams come true?" Shrek replied.

"Because he and Morgan kept telling me oy was my destiny and I guess over time.. I just believed it.

I never meant to do you or your friends any harm." Snowgre answered him.

"It's okay. Everybody makes mistakes. Nobody's perfect.

Besides Artie was like you before we met." Shrek said.

Snowgre smiled at him.

Leah then approached him.

"Hey Snowgre what's going on?" she said to him.

"Y-You're not afraid of me?" he asked, fear in his voice.

"No I'm not. I know what it's like to be alone.

You know that... we're your family." she answered him.

"Thanks Leah. I'd like that." he replied smiling.

But Morgan was furious.

She'd lost her trust in Chunnin and lost Snowgre's.

Now he would never help her.

She then saw Carley was a shaman and smiled.

"Don't worry. I've found somebody more willing to be my assistant" she told him.

Chunnin looked worried at the image of Carley.

Meanwhile Snowgre was sitting at the table next morning as Carley sat opposite him.

She looked sad,

He had a feeling Morgan was after her.

Nobody knew that he could see what would happen next and read minds.

Leah wondered what was wrong as he led her outside. "What's up? Why're you looking so freaked?" she asked him.

"Morgan is after your friend Carley. She knows that she's a shaman and wants to use her." he answered her.

"Wow1 That's cool that she's a shaman!" Leah told him.

"Yes I know but Morgan's one too. She wants to destrot ger Guardian Ghost." he said to her.

They then heard yelling and ran inside.

Morgan was there and was trying to make Carley hers but she got an idea as she grabbed Leah.

"Don't! She means a lot to me!" Carley told her.

"I know. Join me and I'll leave her alone." Morgan replied.

Carlet saw fear in Leah's eyes.

She knew Carley would do anything for her but didn't want her to do bad things just to save her.

"Alright you get your way. Now let her go." Carley replied.

"I'll think she'll make insurabce for you. Let's go." she told her.

Shrek was nervous but angry.

"I can't let Morgan get awau with this!" he yelled but Snowgre put a durry hand on his shoulder.

"Don't worry. We'll get them back!" he said as he calmed down.

Morgan cackled as she threw Carley and Leah in a cell/

"Carley you're really not going to hurt others are you? Just to save me?" Leah asked Carley.

"I'm not. I'm just gonna bluff until our friends come." she answered.

Leah smiled as they kissed.

"I hope you're right." Leah thought...
