Ch 9
Fiona then woke up early and cracked her knuckles. Snow smiled at her. "What're you going to do?" she asked her. "I'm going to get us out of here, okay Snow?" she told her.
She watched as the black haired princess woke up her friends. "What's going on?" Sleeping Beauty asked her. "Fiona's gonna bust us out of here!" she told them. Cinderella gasped at that but Lillian smiled. She knew her daughter could do it.
"I've got to try this for my friends sake's but also my husband's. Who knows what Charming could be doing to him and my children?" Fiona thought as she cleared her mind and prepared to kick.
After she did that, the wall begab to crack and break. The princesses just gasped in shock at that. "Come on! Let's go kick Charming's butt." She urged her friends. They then followed her through the huge hole in the wall she'd made. Charming had been informed of this when he came back and was angry.
"No matter. I'll take care of them when they're all together. Let's see how Fiona dea;s when her husband screams in pain at my mercy along with her empowered friends!" he told a few guards. Fiona watched as the other girls followed her and Lillian to the swamp. Merlin smiled as he saw them enter the house quietly. Snow saw Artie asleep on the couch. "That's good. They're still here." she told them as Fiona came into the bedroom.
She then saw her husband asleep with her babies in his arms secure. "I'm glad you're safe. I was really worried about you. I thought Charming had taken them but I guess you kept them safe." she said kissing him. He smiled in his sleep. She walked out of there quietly so he wouldn't wake them up. Lillian smiled as the other princesses fell asleep on the floor. "How're they?" she whispered to her. "They're fine. They're asleep in Daddy's arms." Fiona answered her. Lillian smiled at that. "You should rest honey. Go be with your family." she told her. "What about you guys?" she asked her. "We'll be fine." Lillian answered her.
"Thanks Mom." she replied as she went back into the bedroom. She changed into a night gown and climbed into bed beside her husband and children. Shrek felt somebody beside him and opened his eyes. He was surprised to see Fiona lying beside him. "Welcome back honey. I was so worried about you. How did you get away?" he said to her as he hugged her. "I'll tekk you later. Let's just sleep." she replied kissing him on the lips. He closed his eyes in peace knowing that the woman he cherished above everything was back with him. He would give up everything he had, even the swamp to keep her by his side.
They awoke later to the smell of eggs sizzling in a frying pan. They geard the babies laugh from the kitchen. "I guess we'd better get up." Shrek said to Fiona as he rubbed the sleep from his eyes. "Okay I'm coming." Fiona said yawning as she got out of bed with him. They then walked into the living room where they were met with the aroma of breakfast. "Good morning star shines." Lillian said as they sat down. Snow smiled at them. She and the other girls wished that one day they'd meet a man who'd treat them the way they'd want, not because they looked like fashion dolls. But then they heard laughter as somebody walked into the house. It was Rapunzel.
"What're you doing here? Get out now!" Fiona said through clenched teeth as she struck a karate stance. "I don't want to ruin this touching scene but I have to. I can't believe we were friends!" she yelled as she shot magic at Fiona. Shrek watched as she sank to her knees in agony. "What did you do to her?" he yelled. The triplets were crying as they tried waking up their mother. She cackled as she faded. Snow and the other girls crowded around Fiona. "That bitching beauty queen! She hurt Fiona for no reason." Doris yelled. Lillian then saw her eyes open slowly. "Don't worry guys. I'll... be back on my feet soon enough." Fiona told them weakly. Shrek heard her cough.
"She put a spell on you that made you sick. We've got to cure you before you get worse. I don't want you... to get worse like Dad did." he told her with tears in his eyes. "Don't worry I won't." she replied to him softly. Lillian, Cinderella and Doris left to find Eapunzel but Snow stayed by Fiona's side. "Don't worry Fiona I'm sure they'll find her and kick her butt." Snow said to her. Fiona smiled at that as her body shivered in fear. She could tell Shrek was worried in case this thing made her very ill like her father the late King Harold and she left him. He hoped that Lillian and the others would find a cure to help her.
"Don't worry honey. I'll be fine. I won't get sick like Dad did. I'll be fine, you see." Fiona reassured him. He smiled at her as he watched her fall asleep. He stroked her hair. He sighed as the triplets hugged her sleeping form. "You're worried about what'll happen if she does go, aren't you?" Snow asked him. "Yes I am because nobody else could replace her. She was the first one who... liked me for who I am. If she goes, then my heart will be broken forever and I don't think it'll heal if it happened." he explained softly. Snow understood as she touched his shoulder. "I understand how you feel. Fiona's like special to you. I understand that you'd be upset and angry if she did leave." she replied gently.
Rapunzel cackled as Lillian, Doris and Cinderella barged in on her and Charming. "What do you want?" she snapped at them. "We want to help Fiona after you made her sick! You're as big a loser as Charming. Tell us and we might not turn you in to the guards." Lillian said striking a karate pose. "Never! Once she's gone, her husband will lose his courage and never bother Charming or me again. Then we'll rule the kingdom forever and nothing you and your friends can do to stop it!" she snapped at her. Doris then saw Cinderella pin Rapunzel to the wall. Lillian thn found a staff with a thunder bolt tip. "You can't take that! You'll ruin everything!" Rapunzel yelled in fury as they left...
