Scrape Away
—
I almost willingly let them take me away. I started to stare into space, not actually believing my father was actually capturing me. Why was he doing this anyway? I just don't understand. The guards were walking, talking trees. They looked tough; I didn't dare to fight back. The tree henchmen picked me up by my arms and hauled me into a portable mini jail cell on the back of the chariot. I landed on the ground with a sickening thud.
"Now," my father spoke, "onward to Far, Far Away." My father grabbed a whip and whipped the snow white horse so that it can move.
The horse took off, leaving the talking trees behind. I sat before the metal bars, staring at the swamp.
Seven days, seven nights, we arrived to his destination. As we entered Far Far Away, I saw many people walking, talking, shopping. My cruel father kept going onward, all the way to the large castle.
"Why is he taking me here?" I questioned myself as I stared at the large castle that kept coming closer and closer to my view.
The horse suddenly slowed to a stop. My dad walked toward me and unlocked me out of my jail cell, although I still had my cuffs on. His cloak was still on, so I couldn't make out any of his features.
"Come, boy!" He grabbed my wrists and forced me to walk to the castle.

"Where is he!?"A female green ogre shrieked. She stood frozen at the last place where Puss has saw him.
"I do not know, but I did see him just moments before." Puss in Boots slowly paced back in forth near the log Artie was just sitting on before.
Shrek rolled his eyes, "I'm sure the kid is all right, now lets get back inside."
"Shrek," Fiona glared at him with her hands on her hips.
Shrek noticed her glare and started to chuckle nervously. "Oh honey, you know I'm just joking with you, right?"
It was Fiona's turn to roll her eyes. "Lets just find Artie, okay?"
"Fine."

I awoke in a dark cell, much bigger and darker than before. Walls surrounded me, and a barred window was placed near the ceiling.
"I see you've woken up, Sleeping Beauty," He chucked at his own little joke.
My eyes flickered toward his form, "What do you want with me?"
He sat on an old wooden chair and smirked, "It's not that tough, is it? Foolish boy, I want revenge. It's all your fault and that wretched ogre." His smirk transformed into a frown.
I blinked, not fully understanding. "What are you talking about? I don't even know you. I haven't even seen you for, like, my whole life."
Again, he smirked. "Are you sure about that?" He stood up from his chair and walked toward my cell. "Everyone knows me even you, my dear boy."
With both of his hands, he grabbed the hem of the hood and threw it off. He had bouncy blonde hair and a wicked smirk. My mouth gaped open, unable to speak, eyes widened, confusion arose.
"Prince Charming!?" Those were the only words I could say at the moment.
"In the flesh, my dear son."
