I Think I've Got You Beat
A/N Here's the next one. It's about my fave ogre feeling depressed but the others are going to try and cheer him up.
Shrek was feeling down.
Fiona wondered what was wrong but didn't want to make him angry.
She wondered what had happened.
Snowgre wondered if he'd done something to make him angry.
"I don't think so Uncle Snowgre.
Daddy gets like this all the time.
He calms down soon." Meatballs said.
The others agreed.
Shrek sighed as he walked through the forest.
He hadn't felt blue in a while.
He knew it was because of the feelings he'd held in all these long twenty years that was making him feel this way.
He'd been having dreams to do with his child hood and teen years.
"That's right Shrek walk away like you always do.
Forget those people you call friends or family.
They've made you weak.
We don't need them." a voice in his head told him.
It was that voice that told him he'd never amount to anything, that nobody cared about him.
He tried to block it out like normal but it wasn't working.
He'd stopped at a lake in the forest and sank to his knees in agony.
It always hurt, the pain and sadness he'd been carrying around in his heart for the past twenty years.
He'd held the emotions in for too long.
If they weren't unleashed, they would eat him up inside.
Suddenly tears fell from his eyes as he unleashed what he'd been hiding.
Snowgre saw that Fiona was worried after he came home from high school.
"What's wrong?" he asked her.
"Shrek. He hasn't been home since this morning.
I'm beginning to get really worried." she told him as he saw Artie and the others return.
"Sorry Fiona we didn't find him." Puss said softly.
"Wait a second!
He must be in the deeper part of the forest.
He did look upset eariler.
I saw it in his eyes." the teen thought.
"Snowgre... do you know something?" Artie said.
"Yeah I'll take you there, okay?
Just follow me." he replied as Artie followed him along with Fiona.
They followed the teen into the deeper parts of the forest where no humans really go.
"Are you sure he's here Snowg?" Artie asked him.
"Yeah I can hear him.
My sight may suck but my ears are gold!" he told them.
Shrek was asleep after emotional fits of sadness.
Fiona saw the red rims around his hazel eyes and was worried.
"I've never seen him like this.
He must be really bothered about something." she thought as she shook him awake gently hearing him make moany, growling noises.
"Honey are you okay?
You worried me." she said to him.
He looked shocked but was hiding it.
"Dude you sure you okay?" Snowgre asked him.
"Aye I'm fine Snowg." he told him nervously.
"I don't think he's fine.
He's trying to hide his fear.
I can feel his chakra." he thought as they walked back to the swamp.
Later that night Shrek found Snowgre outside sitting by a fire.
"What're you doing up?
Aren't you supposed to be asleep?" Shrek asked Snowgre.
"Let's just say I wanna help you... get over your sadness.
Through opening the inner chakra within." the teen replied to him.
"How're you gonna do that?" Shrek asked nervously.
"Through meditation.
To open the chakra which is located in the base of your spine which'll flow like a running river.
But to do that, you have to surrender fear, your most deepest, darkest ones what ever they might be." he replied to him.
Shrek was nervous about meditating as he relaxed through breathing.
"Just let yourself go." Snowgre told him as his eyes closed...
He was standing in the swamp but something wasn't right.
He saw somebody appear from the shadows.
"Hello.
We meet again." a familar snotty voice said as Charming came near him with a wedding ring on his finger,
"S-Shrek?
Please help me!" Fiona said to him.
It made Shrek's blood run cold.
"Don't worry Fiona.
I won't let him hurt you." he said.
"What're you going to do?
You're too afraid to do anything this time." Charming replied to him laughing.
"KLet go of your fear and open the chakra." a voice told Shrek.
He breathed deeply releasing the fear.
Suddenly a peaceful feeling rushed through him as olive green chakra surrounded his body.
"I'm not afraid... of you!" he yelled hitting Charming with the chakra blast...
"No!
This time I had a chance this time." Charming yelled as he vanished.
"You did it!" Fiona said kissing him...
"Umm... Shrek you can wake up now." Snowgre said but Artie stopped him.
"Let him be.
He's at peace.
Let's leave him alone." he said as they went inside.
Later Fiona saw him come into bed.
"Hey honey you seem in a better mood.
What happened?" she asked him.
"I released my sadness through meditation.
That stuff works." he answered her.
Snowgre had a feeling his cousin had been unleashing the feelings he'd bottled up within.
He then smiled seeing Shrek asleep with his arms around Fiona.
He hoped that wouldn't change...
Wow dramatic/angsty chapter.
I'm glad Snowgre was able to help Shrek unleash his feelings by opening his chakra and facing his fear.
I'm gonna work on the next one!
