Chapter Six
Explaining a spell
Lillian had gotten out of the bush. She was nervous. She hoped Shrek and Fiona weren't seriously hurt. Donkey then came over to her. She was a little bit startled but calmed down. "What happened to you? How come you're in Puss's body?" she asked him. "Our bodies switched because of some magical spell from Puss's sword. We were figuring out how to get back to normal when Kyle showed up and everything got messed up." He said to her.
Meanwhile Fiona was asleep but happy. Harold watched as she slept peacefully. "I wish there was something I could do to help like turn back the clock or something. That way Fiona would still be herself and not an amnesiac." Harold said quietly. The dark stranger was listening to this and smiled evilly. "That's it! Turning back time! Shrek thinks he's so powerful because of Fiona but if I turned back time and prevented her from marrying her…" she told herself as her spidery cloak wrapped around her green arms. But her magic wasn't powerful enough yet to cast the spell. "I'll have to wait for enough dark power to make me stronger so I can cast the going back in time spell!" she thought as she vanished. Meanwhile Lillian and Donkey were on their way but very slowly. "We're never going to get there at this rate but I've got an idea!" he said. He then whistled loudly. "Please let my baby hear it! But what if she doesn't know it's me?" he thought as he waited. Suddenly Lillian saw Dragon land on the ground. "Hey babe! Thanks for coming. We've got to get to Far, Far Away now!" he told her. She was shocked to hear Donkey's voice coming from Puss's body. "Donkey?" she growled in Dragonese. "Yes it's me. I don't have time to explain right now. Let's get going!" he said after he and Lillian climbed onto her back. "Donkey is this safe?" Lillian asked him nervously.
"Don't worry Your Highness it's safe." He said as they took off into the sky. But the dark stranger entered Fiona's bedroom. She watched as her lighter self slept. "She has no memory thanks to Harold! Maybe I can use this to my upper hand!" she said as she knelt down by her. "Don't worry, you'll be alright." She whispered in her ear.
"Are you sure it's safe?" Lillian asked as Dragon took off into the sky. But the dark stranger was watching this. "I don't think they shall be getting there!" she cackled as she touched her spidery cloak. It glowed with dark magic. She then saw Shrek enter the room and was nervous. She then vanished but he'd seen a glimpse of her as he entered the room. "Who was that? She looked familiar but I don't know why." He said to Harold as they came near Fiona's sleeping form. But the dark stranger had escaped to the realm of sleep and was pleased. "I can mess with my lighter self's head through her dreams! I can turn her against those she loves since her memory hasn't returned! This is going to be fun!" she said as her blue lips parted into a smile.
Meanwhile Lillian and Donkey had landed on the ground. Something was wrong with Dragon and they didn't know what. Suddenly they heard strange music and looked at Dragon. The music was making her act crazy. "We've got to stop it!" Donkey said. Meanwhile Fiona was asleep and happy in her own world. She was in the swamp with Shrek having a mud fight and a good time. Just when it felt like her memory was returning, the dark stranger appeared. "Who're you?" she asked starled. The dark stranger smiled at this. "Hello Fiona. Do you even remember what happened to you that you're like this?" she said coldly to her. Fiona shook her head in confusion. "No I don't remember anything!" she told her. "I do! You and your husband over there were in a carriage accident. He only came out of it with a few bruises but you… got seriously hurt and lost your memory! But this accident was caused by none other than your father!" she told her as an image of Harold appeared before them. "But if he's my father… then he loves me and it was just a freak accident!" Fiona told her. The dark stranger laughed at this madly.
"Think about it Fi! If he's your father and he hurt you like this, why should you love him? He's the one who wrecked most of your teenage life by locking you in that tower and going behind your back with that deal with the Fairy Godmother. Face it Fi he doesn't love you! A father's meant to protect you and care for you but your father… only cares about himself and how the kingdom sees him." She told her. Tears stung her eyes but held them back. "Who're you?" she asked. "Let's just say I'm your guardian angel trying to help you!" she told her. "What should I do?" Fiona asked her curiously. "I think you should take revenge against Harold and make him suffer the way he made you suffer!" she said as she faded away.
