Chipped Adora

12: Blood

I run through the castle, Adora's unconscious-almost dead- body in my arms. I follow Bow and Glimmer to the infirmary. 

Glimmer teleports every few seconds and Bow just runs nonstop, gasping for air. 

Glimmer throws open the door and runs in. I follow with Bow on my heels. I see multiple doctors sitting around without any patients to tend to.

"Help her!" Glimmer yells. The doctors nod and take Adora out of my hands. They lay her on the bed. They take her shirt off, revealing three bleeding holes in her stomach from where Horde Prime stabbed her. With his fingers.

"We're going to need you to get out." A doctor comes up to the three of us and says. "What?! Why?" I ask. "There isn't enough room." He puts his hands on our shoulders and gently pushes us out of the room and closes the door before I can turn around.

"Adora.." I say. I drop down onto the floor, resting on my knees. Glimmer and Bow sit beside me, comforting me, but I can't hear them, I don't feel their hands on my shoulders. I just hear ringing in my ears.

'If I had been able to protect her, she wouldn't die. She's going to die. She's going to die.' The words echo in my head until I realize something else. 'What was it like for her to be chipped? Horde Prime controlled her, and I don't even know what he did to her.'

I put my face in my hands, hoping the awful thoughts would clear my mind, but they don't.

Adora's POV

All I remember was Horde Prime controlling me, then figuring out Catra freed me. I know what happened after, the pain, the blood-my blood dripping onto the floor of Horde Prime's ship.

Catra saved me, but I don't even know if I'll be able to survive this.

"There you are, dearie!" A voice says-Madame Razz's voice. 

"Madame Razz?" I ask. She walks closer, her broomstick following her. 'I don't remember it doing that...'

"You have to stay awake," she says. "But why? I'm so tired..." I reply. "There are people who still love you," she smiles. I can't think of anyone. I know I kissed someone once... Her name started with a C? "Like who?"

Her face changes, her eyebrows furrowed. She looks worried. I was just asleep, I went to bed and she woke me up. I don't know why I can remember her name, but no one else's.

"Just stay awake, dearie. Do it for the one person you love most." 

Before I can respond, she's gone.

This one was short. I'm planning on making a longer one after this, but I'm trying to catch up because I've had a lot of practice lately, plus I've been busy.

Anyways, thanks for all the reads! I never imagined I'd be able to get that many.
