Promise

A/N Here's more. This is basically the last night Fiona spends in her kingdom home and with Shrek. I hope she will be okay.

The next few days passed peacefully but that night Fiona was nervous. She knew that in the morning, her parents would send her away and she was nervous about it. She then was in her room. She'd noticed that Shrek hadn't shown up around the castle but understood why. Why come when he knew she was leaving the next day?

"Maybe it's for the best. At least this won't hurt him too much or myself when I leave.

Besides the kingdom will be happy without me around." she thought sadly as she saw the door open and her father came in. He seemed sad but was trying to hold it in for her sake.

"..... It's time for dinner.

I'm sorry." he said softly to her. She was confused about what her father had just said but didn't understand.

"Why're you sorry Daddy?

It's not your fault I'm going away. Besides the kingdom will be better off without me." Fiona told him.

"No it sort of is. I promised somebody I would send you away or something bad would happen to me. Your mother doesn't know about that part. I wasn't like this.

I changed for your mother." he explained sadly.

Fiona saw tears in his eyes as he left the room. She felt sad but knew there was no other way to get rid of the curse.

But she then saw something on the bed beside her. It was a locket. It was in the shape of a sun flower. She smiled knowing who it was from.

"I knew he wouldn't forget about me. Maybe I should go to see him later. But right now my parents need me.

My Daddy seemed sad when he talked to me." she thought putting it on.

She then went down stairs.....

Later she snuck out of the castle and went into the forest. She heard soft crying as she came towards a tree. She saw some kids bugging Shrek and it made her blood boil.

"They should leave him alone! He's doing nothing wrong. I have to do something.

He is my friend after all." she thought as she came out of her hiding place. The kids cackled seeing her.

"Look guys it's the ogre wench!

My Mom said a witch cast a spell on her that made her a monster at night because her Daddy banished the witch.

Let's have some fun messing with her by messing with her friend." one of them said as they threw stones at Shrek.

That was the final straw for Fiona.

She then began to use karate on them. Shrek then saw them run off in fear and was amazed by that. He smiled as she bent beside him on the forest floor. She saw fear in his hazel eyes as she saw bruises and a swollen eye.

"......You were amazing, taking on those mean kids like that. I wish I..... could be as strong as you but I won't. I couldn't even scare off those mean kids like any ogre should do." he replied to her sadly as he looked away from her.

He then felt her hand on his shoulder.

"Don't worry you will.

You'll learn as you get older." she reassured him softly.

"Yeah but.... soon you'll be gone by the time I wake up tomorrow. I wish..... you didn't have to go away. You're my only friend and understands me as myself and not afraid to be near me." he replied sadly.

She then saw tears fall from his eyes but she wiped them away.

"Don't worry I'll always be in your heart.

Besides maybe we'll see each other someday. I know it." she told him hugging him.

He felt better but inside he knew that once she went away, he would be lonely again and it would hurt.

Fiona understood as she saw the stars come out in the night sky. She knew that made him feel better.

But then he felt better as she lay beside him on the grass.

She hoped he would not forget her while she was gone....
