Glimmer, Bow and Catra headed hastily back to the boat; leaving Sea Hawk behind to take care of Mermista until she was feeling better.

"Don't worry, we'll catch up." Sea Hawk said before sending them away.

As soon as the trio reached the ship Glimmer found herself standing deep into the Whispering Woods.

Another jump-cut, Glimmer thought. I need to find a way to fix this before reality fully collapses on itself.

"Ok, here's the plan." Catra said, a demanding tone in her voice. "We split up. This way we could cover way more ground and find Adora... the horde... faster. Bow will go west, I'll go east, and Glimmer will continue north. If we find anyone we'll signal for help, otherwise, we meet back here. Got it?" She said as she marked an x on a tree to mark the meeting spot.

Bow nodded and the both of them started walking to their assigned directions.

"Wait" Glimmer called after them. They both stopped walking and turned towards their friend.

"I know this is going to sound crazy, but-"

"Glimms, you've been acting crazy all day, just spit it out." Catra demamnded.

"We've been here before" Glimmer said

"Yeah" Bow replied. "We've come into the whispering wounds countless of times Glimmer."

"No, it's not that. We've been through this exact same mission."Glimmer explained trying to keep her cool.

"We have?" Catra asked.

"Yeah, well, we have" Glimmer said pointing to her and Bow. "You were kind of... slightly... totally attacking us with explosive bots."

"Riiiight." Catra said quickly heading over bow. "Yeah, now I'm sure she's brained damaged" she joked.

"I'm not brain damaged!!" Glimmer exclaimed. "Can you just, trust me on this? Please?"

"Why would we trust a princess?" Catra said looking away. "Woah, what did I just say? Why did I say that?"

She was confused. Evidently. Glimmer could tell that, but still she was more wary of her than before.

"Your memory is starting to come back." Glimmer whispered.

"What was that?" Catra asked.

"Ok, you've been saying that I have been acting weird all day. You want to know the reason? Here's the reason then." Glimmer proceeded to explain everything that had happened the last 24 hours.

Catra and Bow looked at her in shock. "Then what do we do? How do we turn things back to normal? How do we fix this?" Catra said. An expression spread across her face that Glimmer had never seen imprint on Catra before. It was so vivid and consuming, that even Glimmer couldn't quite put her finger on what it was. Sadness? Disappointment? She wasn't sure.

"We have to go back to the centre of the wood. That was where the you attacked the first time."

The three rebels headed as quickly as they could. A few paces away from their destination Catra abruptly stopped and grabed Glimmer's hand.

"Glimmer. If we fix this. Will I turn evil again?" Now Glimmer could see it clearly. Worry was looming over Catra.

"I- I think so..." Glimmer said.

"If everything goes back to normal, it would- I would-. I'm just..." She took a deep breath "I'm sorry. For everything I might have done. And everything I will do."
