Reach For The Light

A/N

Here's more and thanks for the reviews especially from Inyunaruto365 as it's good to know she's enjoying it.

I hope you guys like.

Leah smiled broadly along with Carley as they were back in Duloc as happiness filled their hearts after the portal faded but Ogre Child sensed an aura of worry from Carley knowing she was nervous about being part of the movement.

"Where is the tunnel?" she asked Shrek.

The male was distracted worrying about Brogan and the movement but more so about Fiona as she'd been the leader of the movement until he'd kissed her as Leah knew.

"We'll make something up.

They'll never know about Fiona." she said.

He smiled knowing she was right but hoped this could work hearing Ogre Child's question.

"It's in the middle of the forest.

I'm worried about the movement knowing them because they're worried about humankind but we can help them." he answered.

They nodded as they found an entrance as they entered through a hole in the undergrowth of the forest floor as they moved through the tunnel as they came to where the entrance to the movement was but Brogan smiled seeing them knowing it was safe.

Leah was in awe along with Carley and Ogre Child knowing that this could work but were nervous especially Ogre Child as a lot of the males were staring at her as she prepared to fight but Carley stopped her knowing it would set a bad impression.

She pouted at that.

Brogan chuckled seeing that.

"You're his friends, the ones he talks about?

You guys seem friendly." he said as Leah nodded.

Ogre Child along with Shrek saw that Carley was very quiet knowing she still needed to take her time in getting adjusted but Brogan already assigned members of the movement that the two could share tents with.

Leah was sharing with him while Carley was sharing with Cookie which Ogre Child couldn't help but smile.

She hoped this could work...

Leah had already settled in as she had placed her backpack on the ground but wondered how Carley was doing but she bumped into Cookie after leaving the tent as the ogress chef was nervous.

"S-Sorry about that." she said as Leah shook her head.

"It was my fault.

You came to see me about Carley, right?" she said.

Cookie nodded in reply as she'd been trying to befriend the human she was sharing her tent with but found it hard as Leah understood knowing that she could help Cookie out.

"Carley is an nice person but she needs time to get to know you so she'll be like that until you earn her trust.

It's easy." she told her.

Cookie nodded in reply.

"Is there a reason why she has a long stick with her?" Cookie said.

Leah nearly burst out laughing.

"It's her long cane and a visual aid which helps her see because she's visually impaired and can't see sides or in the dark.

But she's a good person.

I'll help you." she told her.

"Thanks.

But what about that dark blue warrior that hangs around her?

She's a little scary." Cookie answered.

"That's Ogre Child.

She comes from Carley's kingdom Aria but she's a powerful Ogreix Warrior.

Like Carley, she's a good person.

She'll ease up once she trusts you." Leah told her.

They then went to her tent.

Shrek smiled seeing Leah and Cookie entering her tent as he and Carley were sitting in a hammock as they'd been talking for a while but Cookie saw the girl make eye contact with the ground as she sighed but the male ogre decided to yalk to Cookie about his friend so she'd have a better understanding but Leah wondered where Ogre Child was.

"Brogan challenged her to a fight." she heard Carley say softly.

She was happy seeing her friend talk in a long while as she hugged her knowing it was hard but knew she would adjust in time but their moment was ruined seeing Ogre Child come in with bruises as Leah went to help her clean up as Carley sat there but could hear her ogre friend talking to Cookie but tuned it out.

She hoped Leah was right...
