December is a Lonely Month

Ch 10

Fiona then saw Snow still by her side. She was feeling strange as she stroked Fiona's red hair and braid. "I want to tell you how much I like you but you'd probably think I'm gross or something" she thought as she hugged her.

Fiona opened her eyes. "It's okay Snow. I know you like me. I love you too but I have to keep it a secret from the other princesses and my Mom. Besides if I told Shrek, he wouldn't mind." She told her as she held her hand.

They then saw Lillian and the other princesses arrive with the staff. "What's that?" Fiona asked them. "It could heal you. We went to Rapunzel and Charming's lair and found it." Cinderella told her. Snow smiled at them as she watched the staff glow and it hit Fiona's body. She then felt better.

"Thanks guys." Fiona said to them. She then saw Snow walk out of the room and grabbed her hand. "I need to tell you something. Snow and I… We're in a relationship." Fiona told them. The other princesses gasped but Shrek smiled. He approved his wife's decision even if her friends didn't understand.

"I'm happy for you honey." Lillian told her as she hugged them. Charming was disgusted but had an idea. "Love has made her weak, off guard. I can use this to my upper hand." He told Rapunzel. She cackled at her husband's plan.

"I can't wait until we get our revenge!" she told him. Shrek smiled as he held Fiona's hand. He knew she was getting pressure from her other friends because of this. "Don't worry. I'm sure they'll come to their senses." he reassured her gently as they kissed.

But then Rapunzel showed up and took Fiona. "What're you doing?" Fiona yelled. Shrek watched as she disappeared. He sank to his knees in agony. Lillian and the other princesses were shocked by what Rapunzel had done. "Don't worry. We'll get her back." Snow told him reassuringly. But in her and Charming's lair Rapunzel had chained Fiona to a wall. "What is this all about?" Fiona asked angrily. "My husband Charming wants to be King so bad but you and your husband always get in our way so... we're taking you hostage but if they don't listen to us... then we'll simply have to hurt you." she answered. Fiona was shocked by that. She knew Rapunzel was like this when they were kids but she was worse now.

"You won't get away with this! Shrek and the others will find me and kick both you and Charming's butts!" Fiona yelled angrily. Charming cackled at that as he joined Rapunzel and kissed her. Fiona was about to throw up at that. "I don't think your husband will help" Charming said in a voice dripping with fake sweetness. "Why not?" Fiona asked darkly. "Let's just say he's not feeling too good!" he cackled. Fiona was worried but was getting angry. She had to get back to the castle fast to help her True Love before it was too late. But in the castle but the spell had already started as Lillian saw her son in law lying on the floor. His skin was pale white and his head was very hot. "We'd better find Fiona! She could help him." she told the other princesses as she wrapped him in blankets and laid his head on a pillow. . Snow was worried as she knelt by his side.

"I'll stay with him while you guys get Fiona. You don't need me." she told them. Lillian and the others went off on their way. "Why're you trying to help me? Fiona would kill you if she knew you're with me." he said weakly. "Don't worry she won't. We're friends anyway. She'll understand." Snow replied softly as he closed his eyes to sleep. Fiona gasped in shock at how sick Shrek was in a crystal ball. "Please don't let him die!" she whispered to herself. Charming could see the pain in her eyes.

"If I become King, he might get better." Charming told her smiling. Rapunzel then followed him into another room. Snow knew how much Fiona cared for Shrek. "Don't croak, okay? Fiona would be heart broken if you did." she whispered to him. Puss had followed the princesses to Charming's lair. He was mucho furious that Shrek was sick. He wanted to get Charming back for hurting his amigo...
