Chipped Adora

7: Nightmares

Catra's POV

I lay a sleeping Adora down on the bed gently, not wanting to wake her. She stirs, but doesn't wake.

I think about staying in the room with her, but it might seem weird. I walk out, closing the door gently behind me.

"How's Adora doing?" Glimmer asks. "Well... she's sleeping," I respond. "That's good," she says. "Glimmer! There you are!" Bow yells from down the hallway.

"Just call for me if you need anything," Glimmer says before walking away. 

I sigh and go to the room Glimmer gave me earlier, right next to Adora's. 

I get under the sheets and try to sleep

Adora's POV

"Catra... You love her, don't you? She means something to you," Prime says. "C-Catra? No, she's with the Horde. She doesn't mean anything to me," I respond.

"Adora. You love Catra." Prime laughs. "I don't!" I snap. "You love her so much, it hurts whenever you see her," Prime pushes. "But, don't fret. I can rid that pain. Come with me, child," Prime says while showing me into a green pool.

"What's this?" I ask, faltering a bit. "This, will rid of your suffering," he says while throwing me into the green liquid.

I scream as someone shakes me awake. I'm drenched in sweat, my heart racing and I'm panting with tears streaming down my face.

"Adora!" Horde Prime says. I scream again and back up to the corner of the two walls, putting my hands in front of my face.

"Adora!" This time it's Catra. "Adora, it's okay!" Catra says while pulling me into a hug. 

I hesitate a second, still unsure if it was really Catra. "Adora, it's me, Horde Prime is gone," Catra says.

"N-No, he's not. I see him." I'm shaking now, I can't help it. "You see him? Adora, what do you mean?" Catra asks.

I don't respond, I just put my hands on the side of my head and continue shaking. Catra tries to grab my wrists, but I don't let her.

Then Catra does something I never thought she would.

Catra kisses me. I'm surprised at first, but then I relax and allow myself melt into it. I kiss her back and she wraps her hands around my waist, bringing me closer and deepening the kiss.

The kiss tastes like tears and sweat, but Catra doesn't mind, so I don't either. 

Suddenly, there's a knock on the door. I scramble away from Catra and she looks hurt. I feel bad.

"There you are, Catra!" Glimmer says. "I need to talk to you."

"But what about Adora?" Catra asks.

"It'll be quick! I promise!" Glimmer is begging? Is this even Glimmer?

Catra sighs and I notice her turn back to look at me, but I look away. 

"Yeah, sure."

Catra's POV

I look back at Adora, but she doesn't look at me. She's still on the bed, but she's looking out, towards the window

I walk out the door and close it behind me.

"So, what did you want to talk about?" I ask while turning to Glimmer.

"I'll tell you, but um... Can we go somewhere private?" Glimmer asks. I look at her, confused.

"Uh, sure," I reply.

Glimmer takes me to (what I guessed) was her room. The bed was high, and she had stepping things to get up and down.

"Okay, what was it?" I ask. 

Glimmer sighs.

"Catra... I like you."
