Chapter Four
Puss's Plan.
"You want me to do what?" Donkey asked Puss nervously. "I want you to come with me to help the boss! He needs our help!" he said urgently. He wasn't so sure of Puss's idea. "Fine! If you're not going to help me, I'll do it myself!" Puss yelled running off as well as cursing in Spanish. He was very angry. He couldn't believe Donkey wouldn't help him.
Later that night while Fiona was asleep, Shrek and Lillian entered the swamp. They crept into the house quietly. She saw him go into the bedroom. "Why're you going in there for? You're going to wake Fiona up!" she told him. He then went in quietly. Fiona was asleep on the bed near an open photo album. He shook her awake. She was surprised to see him there. "How did you get here? I thought you were locked up in my father's dungeon!" she said as she hugged him. "It was your mother! She helped get me out of there by bending the bars and breaking down the wall. I see where you get your fighting skills from!" he said to her. Lillian was sitting at the table quietly as the couple came out of the bedroom. "Let's go help your father! He isn't himself and I'm guessing some dark force wants him to do all this stuff and ruin his life! Think about it! By imprisoning me, he's hurting Fiona, by being so horrible, he's freaking you out to get to you! But I don't know what it is." He told them. Lillian smiled at this. "Yes! Let's go. " she told them as they went out the door and into the onion carriage. But Harold wasn't happy about what had happened in the dungeon. He ordered hunters to find his son in law. He also ordered Kyle to find his wife and bring her to him.
Puss was in Far, Far Away. He regretted not being in his own body and be able to kick butt but there wasn't anything he could do. He then went to the Poison Apple Pub and ordered a shot of milk. This confused Doris. "Are you okay? It's like you're acting like Puss!" she asked him worriedly. "Si I'm fine Doris!" he said. This freaked her out more. What was going on here? Donkey had stowed away in the onion carriage. He felt bad for not listening to Puss and not going with him. He hoped Puss wasn't causing trouble in his body. Fiona wondered why both Puss and Donkey had been acting so strange lately but didn't ask Shrek in case he got angry. He shook his head as he thought about the recent drama that was going on. "Let's just say a spell confused them." He told her calmly. If he told her what happened, she'd flip and not in a good way.
But suddenly the carriage stopped. "What's going on?" Fiona asked. Lillian saw hunters approach it and aim their arrows at Shrek an Fiona but they got knocked out. Donkey had knocked them out using Puss's sword and a few self defence moves. "That was cool!" Donkey thought as he snuck back into the carriage. Lillian wondered what had stopped the hunters. The carriage kept moving on it's way. But then the carriage hit something and turned on it's side. It had crashed into Kyle's carriage. Lillian was worried for her daughter and son in law as they lay on the ground out cold. Kyle smiled as he approached them. "This'll make Harold happy!" he said as he dragged the couple into his carriage and drove off. There was a nasty bruise on Fiona's head and her arm was broken. Shrek had a couple of bruises but was fine. Lillian had hidden in a bush so Kyle wouldn't take her too.
"What am I going to do now?" she asked as she walked on followed by Donkey. She was angry at what had happened. They needed to save Harold from himself before he did something he'd regret.
