Chapter Five
Who am I?
Fiona woke up in a dungeon near Shrek. He had put her near him so she'd be comfortable. He'd woken up okay but bruised but he was worried about Fiona. She hadn't woken up yet. Tears formed in his eyes but held them back. "Fiona please wake up! I need you to stay with me, okay?" he said quietly. Suddenly her eyes opened. "Fiona are you alright?" he said to her calmly. Something seemed wrong but he couldn't place it. Fear was in her eyes. "Please help me! I don't know who I am or where I came from!" she said. This frightened him.
He looked at her head and saw a nasty bruise on her head and under stood. "She must've lost her memory after getting that nasty bruise. Only I don't know what I should do! If I try to jog her memory, it might hurt her more than help." He thought as he held her hand. She looked afraid of her appearance. He understood and smiled warmly at her. "Don't worry, you're not hideous, you're beautiful. Your name is Fiona and you're my wife. We live together in my swamp. Remember?" he said gently. Suddenly she saw a brief flash back but it faded. "No I'm afraid. I'm sorry." She told him. He saw her clutch her head slightly and groan in pain. He then wrapped his arms around her.
"Don't worry I'm sure it will come back." He said as he kissed her on the lips. She smiled at this. Harold was watching this. He felt terrible about having to hurt those he loved but the darkness commanded it so he must obey. Later that night he couldn't sleep. He then went to the dungeon. He went to Shrek's cell. He saw him still awake but Fiona was asleep on his shoulder. There was a look of anger in his brown eyes. "How is she? I'm sorry for what I did but I had a reason." He said to him. "You want to know how she is? She lost her memory and can't remember anything or anyone who cares about her. You changed and became bad! You don't care about anyone anymore!" he yelled angrily. Harold felt sad inside. "If you knew what 's going on with me, you'd understand but I still care about her and you." He said as he touched Fiona's cheek. "Prove it then by releasing me and Fiona!" he said quietly. Harold nodded and opened it. Shrek then walked out carrying Fiona in his arms.
They then went into her room, the room from her child hood and put her in bed. Harold then put an ice pack on her head where the bruise was. "What's that for?" Shrek asked him curiously. "It's an ice pack. I figured if the swelling went down, she might remember something." He said calmly to him as he put it on her head. Shrek then touched it. It felt cold. "Please get your memory back for our sake. Your father isn't evil. He just forgot what was important to him in the kingdom besides being royal, the same way I did when I took the Happily Ever After potion." He whispered into her ear as he stroked her hair gently. Harold then walked out of the room. Suddenly someone in a black spidery cloak confronted him. She was the one that had been pushing Harold around. "What're you doing here?" he asked nervously. "You remember what we talked about? You gave in and freed him. His wife may be your daughter but she's his wife now!" she said calmly.
Harold was scared just like his deal with the Fairy Godmother and that hadn't ended well. He'd became his frog self once more because of that and that wound inside still hurt but he had to be brave now or he'd lose those he cared about. "No! I won't be a part of this any longer. What I'm being made to do by you isn't worth it even if you are part of my daughter." He said sternly to her. This angered her. She then cooled off. "Fine! But you'll never become human again and Lillian won't love you!" she said as she faded. But she hadn't faded for good. "He thinks it's over but he's wrong! It's only just begun! He and his family shall suffer except for her." She said looking at Fiona evilly.
