💜Shy Love 💜 Jack Horner x Reader ~Book One~

Who You Really Are

"Hi, Princess!" Donkey exclaimed ecstatically as he looked over at Fiona in Shrek's other arm. He went to go look back at Jack and paused seeing another princess in his arms.

"There was another princess?!"

"It talks?!" Both females yelled causing Shrek to sigh loudly.

"Yea it's getting him to shut up that's the trick!" He soon came to a stop at the edge of the ground and looked around before spotting a rocky slope. He nodded to himself and quickly jumped down with Jack looking around frantically.

"I'm not going on that!" He yelled as he quickly looked around only to spot a staircase railing. "HOLD ON TIGHT!" He quickly ran over and jumped on it before sliding down fast. The female screamed and hugged him close while he tightened his hold behind her head. He looked over towards his brother and laughed seeing him go over a particular bump down the slope.

"Gee, that must hurt!" He looked forward only to gasp seeing a chuck of wood sticking up. He sighed and closed his eyes tightly before groaning in pain as his bottom made contact with it.

Both brothers landed on the ground, hunched over in pain. Shrek stood up first and gave his brother a glare.

"Yea, it hurt didn't it?!" He yelled before taking off.

"Oh shut up!" He called out after following suit. They both booked it out of the door and down the hall with the dragon not too far behind. Jack followed as his brother rounded the pillar on his right and ran down the room before booking left around the other.

He was confused, to say the least, but trusted his brother's judgment. They soon rounded another corner and came to a complete stop as the dragon stood in front of them. She climbed onto her back legs and puff up her chest before spitting fire towards them which they quickly dodged by jumping towards the side.

They soon made it close to the entrance before Shrek came to a complete stop. He dropped the two from his arms and turned around.

"Ok, you guys head for the exit! I'll take care of the dragon."

"But Shrek!" The lavender male spoke surprised as he sat the female on her feet before turning his body fully towards the male causing him to hold up his hand and smiled.

"Do you trust me, brother?" Jack took in a deep inhale as he tightened his fists. He'd always trust his brother, that was never going to change.

"With my life."

"Then head for the exit!" The male frowned and nodded before taking off with the others following close behind. Shrek sighed and quickly looked around for anything that could help him in that single moment. His eyes soon landed on a sword that lay against a pillar collecting dust.

He quickly grabbed it and with both hands, thrust it into the bundle of chains. Nodding to himself he quickly turned around and took off, running faster as he heard the dragon closing in on him. He soon slid to the side seeing the four waiting for him at the main entrance.

"RUN!" He screamed as the dragon finally made an appearance behind him and roared. Donkey screamed and ran onto the bridge first with (y/n) right behind him as Jack followed close behind, along with Fiona and finally Shrek.

The three booked it alongside the chipping wood, making sure to watch their step so they would fall and slip into the lava. Before Donkey made it to the other side, the dragon spat fire one last time, melting apart one side of the bridge and sending it tumbling against the mountain wall.

Without any fingers, Donkey slipped from the top and accidentally slammed into the female causing her to lose her grip. And with a terrified gasp the female's fingers slipped from the rotten wood.
