CHAPTER 5

I lifted up my head and my chandelier dropped on me as if I was wearing a necklace. I couldn't get it off of me. Donkey ran and I heard Fiona screaming at Shrek about not slaying me. I guess Shrek must be really scared to take me on face to face. As they were running away from me, I tried to run after them and capture the princess again and I still had that chandelier on my neck, breathing fire around the castle. I was going around the entire room looking for those 3 guys. Shrek tells Donkey and Fiona to leave while he takes me on. Shrek stabs his sword on the ground for some reason I can't think of. Maybe it is to make me trip over it or is it some kind of trick? Then Shrek runs to the entrance along with Donkey and Fiona and left the castle. As I ran to the entrance to take off, I got stuck, not realizing that my chandelier chain was pulling me away, back into the entrance. They cross the bridge and the bridge splits apart. They were all one side of it as I was getting angry. They finally climb up the bridge and left the area. I roared and cried as they left my keep. Now, Shrek and Donkey save Fiona and I am alone in my keep once again.

I went back inside and now all the chains are floating everywhere from me wearing that chandelier that has dropped on me earlier. I started to think of a strategy to set me free. The first thing I did was untangling the chains that were everywhere in the whole room. I went from when I stopped to take off and to where I came from. I had some trouble untangling it between the poles but I managed to get most of the chains untangled successfully. Then I went back into the gold room and I try to break the chains by grabbing it with my claws. I pulled very hard and nothing has happened. I tried pulling some more and still, nothing happened. So, I try to scratch the chain. I wasn't sure what good it will do but it was worth a try. I try scratching it some more, but nothing has happend. Then I tried drop a heavy treasure chest on the chain, but still, nothing has happened (I bet I wasn't thinking clearly, was I? I thought heavy stuff can break heavy things sometimes). I didn't know what to do now. But, then I thought of an idea. I looked around and I find an axe lying around near the armour. I picked it up and I tried swinging it on the chain. It somehow did something. I swung it again, and then it almost broke the chain. I swung again, and again, and again, and again, then finally, the chain broke. But I still have a chain hanging from the chandelier, but I did not bother dealing with it. I guess the chandelier will be staying on my neck for a while.

After while, I got tired after fighting those two guys and loosing the princess, So I went to sleep in front of the entrance because I wanted some light. It does get cold in my keep every now and then. While I was sleeping, I hear an argument bursting out and it almost sounded like Shrek and Fiona. They must be arguing over each other. I wonder what they were arguing about. Well, I heard them fight over the helmet. Fiona wanted to see Shrek's face. She kept screaming until he removed it. She got shocked when she saw him. I couldn't stand all of that commotion outside so I went back to sleep. They were still arguing, I could hear them while I sleep, but it does distract me. I couldn't sleep so I woke up and sat for a while hearing more of what they were arguing about. Now I hear her say "Farquaad" from the background. What does he have to do my battle with Shrek and Donkey? Well, I heard that they were taking her to Lord Farquaad in Dulock. I thought for a second that they were taking her back to Far Far Away, but to Dulock? What was going on over there? I wonder what Farquaad wants with her. Maybe he wants to meet her and marry her.
