Ch 2
Lillian was confused when she saw Puss show up with Fiona's kids. "Hola senorita. The boss told me to give them to you." He told her. "But why?" she asked him nervously.
"Somebody you cared about since she was born is gone. The boss is upset and can't look after them." He explained. It then struck her and sadness hit her heart. "How did she die? I need to know!" she said quietly. "Something called the Plague. It's hurting him more than ever." He explained to her calmly. She understood. "I see. Tell him I understand how he's feeling. Look after him. Maybe he'll come around." She told him. "Si I will." He said as he left.
When he returned to the swamp, it was dawn. Donkey was waiting for him. "How is he?" he asked. "Not very good amigo. He locked himself in the bed room. I think he's taking it badly." He told him. He then walked into the house. He could hear sobbing as he unlocked the door. He was shocked by what he saw... Shrek was lying on the bed with blood hitting his shirt. He had a broken bottle beside him. "Oh no! He's seriously hurting! Fiona's death is making him... loco and I don't know how to help him." he thought as he started licking his amigo's hands which were bleeding and the blood had covered the blankets.
Shrek woke up. He seemed dazed and upset. There were red rims around his eyes. "Hey Puss. I... see you found out what I did. She was such a huge part of me and now that's she's gone, everything hurts. I.. wish I could wake up and it just be a bad dream." he said sadly. Puss nodded understandingly. "I understand how you feel about Fiona. She was a part of you and now she's left, you feel empty and a deep void is in your heart which can't be filled." he told him. He wrapped a towel around him to keep the cold off him. It had been raining and he'd been out there that night. "Thanks Puss." he said to him. He felt sorry for him. He'd been shocked by the cutting but it was understandable because he was upset. Donkey wondered what had happened. "It's okay Donkey. You wouldn't understand." he told him. He then saw him go inside and into the living room. Because of their bond, Shrek didn't want to bury his wife's body because he wanted to still be with her even though she was no longer with him... He'd put her in a chair opposite his alligator chair beside the fire. That way, it would feel like she was still here even though she was gone. Donkey was worried for him because of this. "I'm sorry I failed you. If only I knew, I could've done something but I didn't." Shrek said to it.
He wanted to stop this but decided not to invade his privacy. Puss had an idea but it would be the last resort if they couldn't help him heal. "What is it?" Donkey asked worriedly. "A mental ward. You know the cushy room with the loose jump suits. But it's only if we can't help him." he explained to him...
He hoped that wouldn't happen. He couldn't imagine their amigo in a rubber room in a strait jacket. Puss knew that was a hard idea. He then crept towards where Shrek was sitting talking to Fiona's corpse...
