Adora POV

It's been days since the incident, shortly after my argument with Catra, she disappeared. Ever since then Bow and Glimmer have been going out morning and night searching, but it's no use, she's gone for good. I've been staying in my room almost 24/7, I have my food brought to me, I sleep in till 12, and I haven't had any physical activity what-so-ever. I can't help but feel this is mostly my fault, but then again Catra should respect my need to learn more about myself. She just doesn't understand! I've never known anything about my parents, my family or where I came from, so what if I did go with Willow and Theo? Would it really be that bad?

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK

"What is iiiiiit?" I groan, annoyed to be disturbed from my thoughts.

"Adora We need to talk to you." Glimmer's stern voice surprises me from the door.

"And? You're doing that right now."

"Hah hah. Very funny. Open the door."

"Ugh." I drag myself over and turn the handle till it clicks open, then cower back, the bright light from the hallway burning my eyes.

"Adora, what happened? You've never been like this before. I get your worried about Catra and all, but she's a very capable person, you of all people should know that."

"What happened is that Catra's being a big baby and has got herself MISSING because she doesn't understand what I'm going through! She might be hurt or in danger now, but I can't do anything CAUSE I HAVE NO IDEA WHERE SHE EVEN IS!!" I scream, all my built up emotions suddenly pouring out as if if I've sprung a leak.

"Adora we get that you're worried, but you don't need to take it out on Glimmer!" Bow steps in front of her, the same way he does in battle as if he thinks I'm a threat. "Now I know this is probably hard to hear but you've gotta knock it off and get yourself together!"

I then break down crying.

"I know, I'm so sorry!" I sob into Bow and Glimmer's shirts. "It's all my fault! She might be dead!"

"Wow! Adora, take a deep breath!" Glimmer soothingly rubs my back. "How bout you get yourself cleaned up with a shower, get a cup of tea, then sit down with us and explain what happened?"

I breath in and out, attempting to soothe my nerves. "That sounds good, thanks you guys..."

"It's no problem, Ador-"

Someone barges through the door.

"Adora, Theo and I just got the ship running, it's time to make up your mind."
