Shreks maiden

Chapter 1

Shrek couldn't have been happier. He finally had his swamp back. After returning that insufferable wench Fiona to Lord Farquad he finally got all those fairy tale creatures out. He couldn't wait to go back to eating alone and scaring the villagers nearby every night. Alone. All alone.

He thought about that for a second, being alone after having company for so long. He felt off about that. But that was wrong, he's supposed to love his solitude. So what had taken over him.

Perhaps he should take back Fiona, no she was a lying skank. He couldn't bring Donkey back after him and his dragon mistress got a little too heavy with the bdsm.

He made a silent prayer. He would just have to deal with the silence.

He sat alone at his small table on his tiny home in his tiny and lonely swamp. And he couldn't help but wonder what it might be like to have a woman. A woman who cared for him, loved his green skin and farts. His mud baths and his stench. Who also loved solitude just as much as he.
That was his final breaking point. He had to have someone, anyone. But where could he find a person who would love all those things. He couldn't beleive such a person could exist. He couldn't help but wonder if he was destined to be alone forever.

The next day Shrek set out to find a maiden. A woman he could share a warm mud bath with atleast. However no woman was good enough.

The day passed on and night began to fall. Just as he was about to give up though and go home, he was stopped by a strange hooded figure. He patted Shreks shoulder tenderly "Kind Sir might you be interested in my wares.

Shrek could see the mischievous smirk from under the hood. Shrek wasn't one to partake in sales however what did. He have to lose.

He nodded his head and the hooded figure led him into a small hut in the far side of the village. Shrek thought it was quite suspicious so he kept his shoulders wide and plastered a menacing frown on his face.

Inside the hut were a plentiful of boxes covered in cloth. He also thought he might have heard a chain rattle. The hooded figure gestured to a covered box and Shrek looked over.

In one quick swoop the hooded man tore the sheet off to reveal a cage with a woman sleeping soundly. She wore tatered black clothes with long sleeves. Her hair looked matted and brown from dirt but her original blonde peaked through.

Her eyes fluttered open to reveal grey orbs.
Shrek had never seen a more beautiful woman. But why was she like this. Hoe could anyone treat such a damsel like this.

The hooded man spoke "10 shrekels for this one since no one wants to take her. They all say her massive breasts will get in the way of her cleaning duties."

Shrek looked over in shock. Cleaning duties!? She was being sold as a maid!

Shrek could not stand for this. He immediately handed the man 10 shrekels.

The woman was let out of the cage and handed to Shrek by a chain connected to her wrists.

Shrek took her out of the vicinity of the hut before removing the chains. He placed his massive hands on her shoulders. She peered up at him scared.

"Are you alright miss what is your name?" Shrek asked

She looked down and then back up at Shrek "My name is Y/N. How shall I address you sir?" Shrek shook his head, "Just call me Shrek. You can stay with me for a while until you can find your home." Y/ N nodded.

Shrek took her by the hand and led her to his swamp. She couldn't see much of the terrain as it was dark. But what she could see was beautiful. A small home carved into a large dead tree stump and the sound of roads and fireflies filled the air.

As they made their way inside she looked to around to find a cozy home. A fire was even burning in the fire place, although she wondered if that was a fire hazard seeing as everything was wood.

Shrek led her to a large bed where he told her to sleep. Shrek then rested on the couch pondering the events of the day and what he was going to do about this woman.
