We Belong Together

Ch 3

Shrek came around to find himself in an abandoned ware house in a cage.

This made him freak out but heard somebody cackle as he stepped out of the shadows.

"We meet once more.

I see somebody has a fear of being caged.

Isn't that right?" Charming sneered.

Shrek was feeling nervous but hoped the others would come.

Snowgre was feeling regret as he, Leah and the others were about to set off to find their friends.

Suddenly they saw a dark blue skinned ogre warrior with long black hair in a suit of unbreakable armour.

"Ogre Child… what're you doing here?

Our friends are in danger." Leah told her.

"I know. I came to help.

I know where Carley is.

We've got to hurry. She's going to fight Charming.

She doesn't stand a chance against him." She replied.

Snowgre understood as they set off after her.

Charming was watching as Shrek squirmed in the cage.

But suddenly the vain prince was sent flying by somebody.

Shrek smiled as he saw who it was.

It was Carley.

"What're you doing here?" he whispered.

"I'm getting you out of here." She replied.

Charming cackled as he watched her try to break the bars but they wouldn't budge.

Shrek watched as his friend was sent flying.

"Just give up!

You're nothing but a weakling and a half blind freak." Charming told her.

Shrek watched as Carley's body glowed with chakra as it surrounded her.

"This isn't good!

She's summoning all the power inside her to stop Charming." Shrek thought.

Charming was nervous as the powerful waves of chakra hit him but cackled as he was hit by it but used his powers to hurt her badly.

Shrek watched as the dust cleared and Carley was lying on the ground badly hurt and wounded.

She was also out cold.

"Put her in the cage with her friend." Charming ordered his minions.

Shrek watched as his friend was thrown in there but turned her onto her back gently.

"H-How could he do this?

She was brave to try and stop him.

I guess this time he will win.

I should've stopped her but my fear was gripping me." He thought as tears fell from his eyes.

Charming had hidden himself for now.

Leah and the others entered the ware house but was shocked to see their friends in a cage.

Ogre Child then broke open the bars using her super strength.

Snowgre saw fear in his cousin's eyes as he helped him out of the cage.

He had Carley in his arms gently.

"Come on let's go." Leah said.

"W-What about Charming?" Shrek asked nervous.

"We'll take care of him in time but now let's leave." Ogre Child told him.

Artie then came back to Snowgre's flat and found Snowgre there with Haru.

"Where's Shrek? I need to talk to him." he replied to him.

"He's at Leah and Carley's room.

Something happened." he answered him.

It was to do with Yuki.

They'd been caught by a teacher from the boarding school Yuki went to.

He'd forbodden them to see each other.

He went to the hotel his friends were staying at.

He saw Shrek sitting by Carley's bed side.

"What happened?" he asked Leah.

"She tried to stop Charming through saving me but he was too strong." he answered sadly.

Shrek saw sadness in Artie's eyes.

"Snowgre told me you were afraid for some reason.

Why was it?" he said to him.

"I'm afraid of being caged because I'm a little cageaphobic.

It's the ogre form of claustrophobia.

It started in child hood, okay?

But because of it, my best friend was injured." he answered sadly.

Artie saw Leah hug the ogre.

"Hey it's okay.

It'll be okay.

She'll pull through." she reassured him.

"T-Thanks but it is my fault." he replied as he went out for some air.

Leah wondered why Snowgre never showed love or how he felt around others...
