Here's more of the story and I hope you like.
Brogan's trying to get advice on helping Cookie from Shrek and Fiona but wants Cookie to trust him again.
Shrek was stunned hearing from Brogan that he'd found Cookie in the deeper parts of the forest but stunned hearing that Cookie didn't trust him but he wanted to help as he was listening as they were having dinner but Fiona was stunned hearing that Cookie was safe but didn't trust him or the others but she wondered what was wrong but they were quiet.
She wondered what was bothering Brogan but he told her that she didn't trust him and probably wouldn't trust her or the others and understood as they were talking but were hoping Cookie would trust them.
"Maybe we should talk to her." Fiona said.
Brogan shook his head in reply.
"No we can't just talk to her.
She's wild like an animal." he told them.
Shrek saw her smile but Brogan sighed knowing that she didn't mean it and was worried about her.
He knew that things were crazy but he decided to go with Brogan back to the camp so he could help him talk to Cookie but was nervous as he sighed as they were leaving the swamp but hoped she would trust him but wasn't sure as she had became a powerful warrior like Fiona as Shrek understood when they headed to the movement camp but saw fighting as Shrek wondered what had happened but Brogan was shaking as he knew it was Cookie but found her on her knees but picked her up gently.
He then headed to his tent but wondered how this had happened to Cookie but Brogan wasn't worroed about him but heard Cookie moaning in her sleep as he stroked her silver braid gently as he was soothed by her heartbeat and Shrek smiled seeing how much his friend cared about her as he saw tears in Brogan's eyes but the leader wouldn't let him see his tears.
Shrek understood as he hugged him but he knew that Cookie needed him.
"Don't worry as I know you can help her." he reassured him.
He then saw him leave as he hoped that Brogan would be okay.
Later that night, Brogan awoke hearing somebody cry as he saw it was Cookie but he understood as he wanted to hug her but was afraid but wondered what Yaiko had taught her when they were out there in the forest for many years but then remembered that Yaiko had told him that making ramen miso soup would help calm her down but he went to make it for her but saw her crying but calming down a little and sniffling as she smelt ramen but she was quiet eating as he knew she didn't trust him.
"What were you doing out there?
All this time in the forest?" he asked.
"He taught me to be strong in myself.
He helped me feel better." she answered coldly.
He understood as he wanted to hug her.
He knew that she had changed but somehow he felt that the old Cookie who was his best friend was still in there and he promised he would bring her back but he sighed seeing her composed and calm again as he smiled sadly seeing her fall asleep but he lay awake thinking but saw her sleep walk but he went after her as she went into the deeper parts of the forest and went after her but saw Yaiko jump from behind a tree as he knew that Cookie was sleep walking like what happened when she used to live with him as he put a hand on Cookie's shoulder as she began to wake up and her eyes opened.
"Hey Yaiko what's going on?" she asked.
"You were sleep walking again.
Brogan sighed in relief at this.
He then saw Yaiko take her back to the tree house.
He had a feeling that he'd failed but would keep trying.
Cookie gave him a cold glare as they left.
He then returned to the resistance camp.
Yaiko sighed knowing things hadn't gone well with Brogan.
He then wanted to help her trust others again like she had before they'd met but Cookie was silent after telling him everything that had happened when she'd been with Brogan and sighed.
"What's wrong?" she asked.
"Nothing's wrong Cookie." he answered.
She had a feeling he was lying but would ask later.
Shrek was stunned hearing Brogan tell him about what had happened with Cookie but understood as he wondered where she was but Brogan told him that she was with Yaiko but there was sadness in his eyes but they were sitting outside looking at the stars in the night sky and were enjoying themselves but were talking about things but were very quiet.
"Don't worry Brogan.
I bet Cookie is in there somewhere.
Remember when Fiona was a warrior?
I had to keep trying but eventually I got through.
I know you will too." Shrek reassured him.
Brogan hoped this was true as they enjoyed the rest of the night...
