Ch 3
Marriott was watching Snowgre carefully. He had a feeling he could use the teen to take over but had to keep him a were ogre. Shrek was doing research to help Snowgre. He knew he didn't want to be a were ogre anymore.
"I think if we jab Snowgre with something silver, it'll help him." Fiona suggested. "Good idea honey. Let's try it out!" Shrek replied to her. Snowgre looked nervous as he saw them approach with a silver tipped syringe. "It's okay Snowg. It's just like taking a shot. It'll only hurt for a moment." Shrek reassured him.
Snowgre growled as he leapt out of the window and landed on his furry feet outside the swamp house. He then saw worry in his eyes but Charming approached him. "This is the guy that's always bugging Shrek. I'd better avoid this guy." He thought as he fell to his feet. Charming had knocked him out for Marriott as he appeared from the shadows. "Well done Charming. He'll be perfect for what I'm planning. We must make sure his cousin doesn't stop Snowgre from being a were ogre." Marriott replied to him.
Shrek was worried as he saw them carry Snowgre off. "What're we gonna do?" Fiona replied to him. "I'm not sure. I just have to hope he'll do what's right." he answered. Marriott saw Snowgre's symbol cane and smiled. He had a way to get the teen to help him.
Snowgre growled softly as he came around. "Where am I?" he asked Mariott. "Relax. You're safe now. I know you're different but feel like a freak and that you use a cane." Mariott said softly. Charming had hidden himself so Mariott could convince Snowgre to help him. "Yeah but how did you know that?" the ogre teen asked him. "I just know. You could be accepted by your family and not have to stay with your cousin, the one who doesn't want you to be a were ogre anymore." he replied.
"What's the catch?" Snowgre asked him warily. "There is none. U just need your help with something." Marriott answered him. Snowgre was feeling bad vibes from this guy. "I'm not so sure. I'd... like to think about it, okay?" Snowgre said to him. "Fine take your time." Marriott told him. Charming then came out from hiding after Snowgre left.
"Aren't you mad he turned you down?" Charming asked him.. "No. He'll help when he realises that Shrek can't get him what he wants, to be accepted by his family!" Marriott cackled. Fiona was relieved when Snowgre returned to the swamp that early evening. "How did you escape?" she asked hugging him. "I didn't. We talked and they let me go." Snowgre answered her softly. What was this feeling in his heart? Was this Love, like when you're in a family? "Yes it's Love. Haven't you felt it before?" Fiona told him.
"I used to from my parents... until they found out I was different, then they shunned me and the rest of my family hated me and treated me like a freak. Ever since then my heart has been frozen to the ideas of Love and family." he explained to her sadly. Shrek felt sorry for him especially when it got dark. Snowgre then started to growl but stopped. That confused him. Why wasn't he turning were ogre? "It must be because my heart doesn't hurt at the moment. Normally when I'm alone and my heart feels like it's in pieces, I transform but tonight it's different." Snowgre said. He understood. Snowgre had became a were ogre at night because he felt alone and inside he felt pain and hurt at being rejected but now things were beginning to change. "Maybe the love we're showing him is helping him." Shrek thought as he fell asleep that night in bed with Fiona.
Marriott was angry. He needed Snowgre to go were ogre to help his plans. He realised he had to make Snowgre upset and angry for it to happen. Shrek smiled as he saw Snowgre aslee[ early the next morning as he came into the kitchen. It was the first night the teen had slept all night...
