A/N
Here's more and I hope you like.
Thanks so much to Rooz for her reviews and yes Cookie and Brogan's friendship is going through a lot since he refound her but Merlin wants to heal her wound and help her with her amnesia and giving her back her memories.
I hope you like.
Merlin sighed as he was nervous entering the resistance camp even though Brogan had reassured him no harm would happen to him but Shrek was with him as he entered Brogan's tent and found the leader worried as Shrek had a feeling that Cookie had ran off again and heard Balzac calming the silver haired ogress down as Merlin gave her a shot to calm her down and make her sleep as he could examine her easily.
Brogan understood but found it creepy that they had made her go to sleep as Shrek understood but put a hand on his shoulder as he relaxed.
"Don't worry Brogan.
We just made her take an nap.
She'll wake up in a while." he said.
Merlin agreed as he saw the wound on Cookie's head as he heard her whimper in sleep making them worried but Merlin then put a cold compress on the wound as he wanted to try something.
"What is it?
You won't hurt her right?" Brogan asked.
"I won't.
I want to try healing that wound as it could help her.
You said she suffers from headaches when she tries to remember things?
The spell will heal the wound but help her regain her memories.
I know it's risky but it's worth a shot." he answered.
"Brogan what do you think?" Shrek asked.
The muscle bound leader sighed taking in a deep breath as he was thinking and cared about Cookie since they were little kids but couldn't bear to hurt her again.
"Being the leader of this movement and Cookie's only friend, I think he should do it.
I know she'll be happy once she remembers who she is." he answered.
Merlin smiled as he would return in the morning.
Later Cookie woke up feeling groggy as she didn't remember what had happened but felt pain in her arm as she was hungry as she smelt food cooking as she got to her feet but left the tent but saw Brogan cooking something that looked like weedrat ramen stew but seeing him cook brought on a small headache as she heard a voice in her head.
"Here Brogi I made this for you.
I hope you're hungry..." it said.
The headache passed as Shrek and Brogan saw her sit by the fire as it was warming her on the cold night but the others were asleep but Brogan smiled seeing she was awake but had decided not to tell her about the morning as she would probably run away when they were trying to help her but Shrek saw her watch them cook as she knew the utensils somehow.
Brogan had wanted to make chimmichongas as he knew that Cookie made them a lot for the resistance but Shrek had said that it was a bad idea as it could ruin their chances of recreating the bond.
"Hey you okay?
We're worried about you." Shrek said.
She was stunned hearing that as Yaiko had been the only one to be like that but Brogan was very quiet as he was eating but was sad seeing the wound but knew after tomorrow, she would be herself again but Shrek swore he saw Brogan about to cry.
"Why don't you eat?
We're going to talk in private." Shrek said.
Brogan then followed him away from the camp but Balzac was keeping watch.
Shrek noticed that Brogan was quiet as they were sitting by a fire a few miles away from the camp but he understood as he had a feeling that he and Cookie went way back.
Brogan nodded in reply as he cleared his throat.
"S-She was an orphan in a group shelter where it was mostly human kids and not a lot of ogre kids lived there but when I came to that shelter as a child and seeing her, it was meant to be that we were friends as we were all alone growing up there but at least we had each other but then one night we ran away after having enough of living in a shelter and nobody wanting us so we ran into the forest." he said.
"Is that when you guys came to the resistance?" Shrek asked.
Brogan nodded.
"Yes.
In the forest we were found by my uncle.
He brought us to the resistance where we would be safe.
We promised we would always be friends and never leave.
As we grew up, I managed to keep that promise but I never knew she had feelings for me.
If I'd known then what I know now, this wouldn't have happened.
But I hope Merlin can help her." he said crying.
Shrek understood rubbing his back as he calmed down.
"Don't worry Brogan.
I'm sure Merlin will help her." he said.
Brogan nodded as he agreed.
"We should get back to camp." he said.
Shrek smiled seeing Cookie asleep by the fire.
"I'd better go but I'll be back later to help." he said.
Brogan understood as he saw him leave but decided to sleep by Cookie's side.
He hoped Shrek was right...
