It's not easy

Chapter Seven

What's gotten into her?

Fiona was contemplating what the dark stranger had told her. Harold hadn't meant any of what he'd done but he was her father. But inside her heart was telling her that if Harold was her father, then how come he wasn't trying to help her recover? This puzzled her. Shrek was by her bedside trying to use his Ogrewician powers to speak to her from within but he was feeling dark vibes coming from her. "What's wrong with her?" Harold asked seeing a disapproving scowl on his son in law's face.

"I keep feeling dark magical energy from her. I'm worried." He explained to him. But fear was running through Harold's spine at this. "I can't believe the darkness is using Fiona to get to me! I can't let anyone know of this, not even Shrek and Lillian in case the darkness comes after them too." He thought as he watched quietly. He then saw Fiona's eyes open and she stared at him coldly. She then lunged at him but Shrek protected him from this. He was very worried by this. Fiona would never act this way towards Harold even if their father daughter relationship was skewed a little. "Step aside honey! This has nothing to do with you. It's to do with my traitorous father. His deception messed up my life. If he truly cared about me like a normal father, he'd want to help me after that carriage accident and treat me as an equal curse or no curse! But you're not! All you care about is yourself and how the kingdom sees you! You wanted to stay a human but the cost for that was me!" she yelled angrily at Harold. He hung his head in shame. "It's okay. Let me speak to her. It's not her fault this is happening!" he told Shrek calmly. He relented and Harold hopped onto a cushy cushion near Fiona. He was dreading this. "Honey you've been deceived by an evil creature. She tried to make the kingdom hers but now she's using you to get to me in her crazy game. She wears a black cloak made from spiders and has blue lips. She's your evil twin. She was angry and caused the carriage accident , not me! I would never do anything to hurt you or your mother. She's trying to blind you to my love. She's up to something but I don't know." He said gently. He looked into her eyes. She seemed calm. "How did she come here? I'm sorry about my outburst but that twin came into my dreams and was telling me that you didn't care." She told him quietly.

He smiled warmly at her. "It's quite alright honey! She was using the fact that you lost your memory to her evil devices so you'd help her." He told her. But suddenly he heard people screaming and running for cover. "What's going on out there?" Shrek asked. He then looked out side the window amd saw the Dronkeys causing massive damage and burning things. "Why're they doing that for?" he asked himself worriedly. He then saw Fiona's evil twin in the middle of it telling them to do this stuff. She was playing a pipe of evil magic.

Lillian saw this as she and Donkey entered the castle and ran into Fiona's room. "Why're they doing that for? They're not bad! I've got to stop them before they hurt people or you guys!" he said as he jumped out the castle window and landed on his feet. "Is he crazy?" Fiona asked Shrek. He looked into her eyes. "No he's doing it because he's their father and needs to help them." He told her gently. She understood. Her twin smiled as Donkey approached her in Puss's body. "What do we have here?" she said to him as he unsheathed his sword. "Let them go! They don't even know what they're doing!" he yelled, his green eyes blazing with fury. "Bring it on!" she yelled. Suddenly the Dronkeys started attacking him. "Don't you know me? It's me your Daddy! Please stop!" he said to them sternly. The twin laughed as they started burning him. Shrek was angry at this. "Hold on amigo, I'm coming!" he said as he ran out the castle doors.
