Apocalypse~ Catradora

18: Arrival

Run. That was the only thought going through Adora's mind.

Run. Keep running. Adora wouldn't stop.

No, she couldn't stop. If she did then she'd be brought back to the camp. Back to Shadow Weaver. She could only imagine the punishment she'd go through if she was caught.

Catra was slighly ahead of her to the left, and Bow was keeping up with her on her right. Lonnie was straying behind but only a little bit.

She hadn't said a word from when she had woken up. Not even questioning what was happening and what they were doing.

Though, Adora didn't take much notice of it. Just concentrating on running.

"There's nowhere to hide!" A soldier yelled out from behind them all. This only motivated them to run faster.

Don't. Stop. Adora kept telling herself.

She saw Catra look behind her for a second, making direct eye contact with her.

She looked back in fron tof her and then kept running.

Adora didn't say anything to her, in fear of distracting her.

"Bow, we have to try and stop them!" Adora yelled towards him.

He nodded at her and then drew an arrow from his back and then loaded his bow.

"Adora!" Catra yelled. Adora turned around to see Catra throw something her way.

It went flying through the air as she caught it, realizing what it was.

Catra's mask.

She clenched it in her fist and then faced the soldiers behind her and Bow just as Lonnie passed them.

Catra and Lonnie both stood behind Bow and Adora. They were all still. Wating.

They saw now that there were four soldiers after them.

All four of them came bolting towards them as Bow let go of his arrow and it flew through the air, hitting one of the soldiers in the chest and then he pulled out another and then hit one of the other soldiers.

Then the two other soldiers were both after Adora, their tasers in hand as they were both stepping in time with one another.

Adora slashed Catra's mask through the air, cutting one of the soldiers on their arm. They groaned and then stepped back in pain as the other went to tase Adora.

She rolled out of the way and went to strike again but was stopped as someone jumped in front of her, grabbing the mask out of Adora's hand in a split second.

Three swipes of the mask and the soldier who had just posed a threat to Adora, was still.

Their blood dripped off of Catra's mask and off her hands too. Her claws unsheathed.

She looked towards Adora with a serious look and then wiped the mask on her pants, cleaning off the blood.

"Let's go." Catra said, putting the mask in her waistband again and grabbing Adora's hand as they started running again. Leaving the four soldiers dead in the woods.

"No one's following us?" Bow asked, ducking behind the corner of the ruin.

Adora searched around for a minute and then turned back to Bow. "No." She answered him.

He nodded towards her and then started to walk towards the door.

When the four of them made it to the door, Adora let go of Catra's hand to place hers on the door. "Eternia."
