Needing A Leader
A/N
Here's more and thanks so much to Inyunaruto365 for reviewing.
It means a lot to me.
Balzac was determined to find Brogan and Cookie and persuade them to come back as things were not good here.
He then snuck out before Grimrac saw but was relieved nobody had seen him leave but was nervous about being caught but saw some of the others especially Gretchen join him.
"I-I don't know about this.
Grimrac could catch you!
You could get into trouble." he told them.
"It's worth it Balzac.
We'd had enough of Grimrac's leadership.
We need Brogan back.
Besides we need each other," she told him.
He smiled knowing it was true.
"Thanks guys.
Now let's get Brogan back." he replied.
They agreed...
Both Diona and Shrek were stunned hearing from Brogan what had happened to the movement but wondered if there was anything they could do to help as he smiled at them.
"I-I want to help.
But Grimrac's the leader now.
Besides the others are too nervous to speak up.
He was nearly going to hurt Cookie if I hadn't left." he told them.
Fiona could tell he cared about Cookie a lot.
He sighed knowing that he'd find a way.
But he heard Cookie begin to stir.
"Hey Brogi.
W-Was that true what you were telling them?
You did it to save me?" she said weakly.
Brogan blushed as he knew this was true.
He nodded knowing this was true...
He was sneaking around the movement hideout in a hooded cloak so the others wouldn't know it was him because he had promised Grimrac that he would leave because he couldn't bear to see Cookie get hurt because of him.
"Brogi where're you going?" he heard somebody ask.
He turned around and saw Cookie.
"H-Hey.
What's going on?" he asked.
"How come you're sneaking around this early?
Is there another attack going on?" she answered.
Brogan sighed looking into her eyes knowing he couldn't lie to her knowing how close they'd been growing up and even now but he couldn't let Grimrac hurt her.
"I-I can't tell you Cookie.
It's dangerous.
I need to leave." he said.
She was worried by the urgency in his tone.
"When are you coming back?" she asked.
"I don't know." he said.
Upon hearing footsteps, he left her.
She hoped that he would return...
He was brought back from his train of thought by feeling Cookie holding his hand as his face went red but she smiled knowing his feelings about her were true but knew he was having trouble telling her but he'd tell her later.
"Teah I left to rescue you." he answered.
A smile crossed her face weakly.
She hoped the others were okay.
They then heard footsteps as they saw Gretchen and the others join them.
"What're you guys doing here?" Brogan asked.
"Looking for you." she answered.
He had a feeling he knew why.
"Grimrac has ruined things!" Balzac said as Gretchen and Helmet Head nodded.
He sighed not knowing what to do.
"I can't help.
I'm not the leader anymore.
Grimrac is.
I can't risk your lives to be leader again.
Especially not Cookie's." he answered softly.
"But nothing scares you.
You always know what to do!" Gretchen heard Helmet Head say.
"I know but you should cut Brogi some slack.
He's doing it for us." Cookie said weakly.
Gretchen agreed with her.
She was jealous that Cookie had Brogan.
"We need to figure out what to do next." she said.
They agreed...
