A/N

Here's more and thanks to Rooz as she's loving this as I love writing it and Rumpel has returned but it's making everybody worried especially Cookie as they took Yaiko and Brogan is trying to get her to calm down with Shrek's help.


Later that next morning, Brogan had woken from a few bad dreams involving his and Cookie's friendship but shook them off as he needed to go make sure she was okay but knew that he hyad to try and get the Cookie he knew back before he lost her altogether but he then saw Shrek look worried as he wondered what was wrong.

"Rumpel'S back." he told him.

Brogan was now thinking the situation had gotten more worse than it already had and needed to go help the others especially Cookie but knew that something had happened as they heard an ear splitting roar from the forest making Brogan worry running in there but finding Cookie there angry and upset.

"What's wrong Cookie?" he asked.

"Why should I tell you?

You don't even care anymore!" she said.

Shrek saw Brogan shiver a little which was odd but understood but then Brogan understood seeing the tree house destroyed and Yaiko was gone but saw sadness in her eyes.

"I-I do care about you Cookie." he told her.

But she wasn't listening as she was fighting him but he and Shrek were holding her back as she was trying to wear them down but they weren't budging as she was getting more angry.

"Wait Cookie let's call a truce.

Don't you remember we used to be friends?" Brogan said.

Cookie glared at him and Shrek as she began to calm down as both males released her but she was quiet as she knew that she knew Brogan from somewhere but couldn't remember as she followed them but took a lingering look at the tree house as they left.


Rumpel cackled as he saw that Cookie was now untrusting towards the resistance and Brogan but could use this to his upper hand as he wanted revenge against Shrek and the others but would get it by fueling Cookie's untrust as he had Yaiko locked up in a cell but unlike other ogres the witches had captured, he couldn't use him as a slave because he had no sight and found him worthless but Yaiko had hope that Cookie and the others would rescue him as he sighed.

He was feeling the cell bars as he had been worried that Rumpel would've taken his long cane but was thankful he hadn't but he was trying to find a way out but couldn't and sighed as he began to pray.


But in the movement camp, Balzac and the others were stunned seeing the fierce silver haired ogress was Cookie but saw it was her as they looked in her eyes but she didn't show them eye contact as Brogan understood as they were amazed at her skills as they were training but it reminded them of Fiona when she'd led the resistance and led them to victory but Cookie was in no mood to talk as sweat ran down her face as she left them but Brogan knew she was still hurting from that night when he'd accidentally hurt her but it was like she didn't remember him.

He had a feeling this was true as he went after her but found her at Yaiko's treehouse as he saw her fixing it which astounded him as she was showing great care towards a friend like the Cookie he knew but he saw a scar on her forehead and wondered where it came from but thought that was why she was so cold to him after they'd refound each other and smiled sadly as he went to tell the others but he saw sadness in Balzac's eyes as he and the others were a little scared.

They missed the old Cookie too but were in awe hearing their leader's theory that the injury had made Cookie forget them and they needed to take a look at it and ask her how she got it but had a feeling only Brogan could do it.

He then saw Cookie looking in a cracking mirror at her forehead where the wound was as it still stung when she put her fingers to it but Brogan was curious as he entered but was worried for her.

"That wound looks nasty.

How did you get it?" he asked.

"The night I rescued you is when I got it.

It hurts like mad.

I can sort of remember you but everytime I try to remember more, I get headaches.

I don't understand." she said as Brogan understood hugging her.

He felt her relax but then she fell to her knees as she was having a head ache.

"Cookie I'm sorry!" he said.

"B-Brogi..." she said as her eyes closed.

Hope was in his eyes.

That was what she always called him.

Maybe there was a way to get her back.

He needed to talk to Merlin...
