Chipped Adora

22: Did Someone Say Swift Wind?

Catra's POV

We're already back on Etheria, and Adora still isnt awake.

"How are we going to get her out of here and into the castle?" Glimmer ask. 

I would've asked that question, but I can't. My throat is dry and I'm to scared. I'm scared because I love her and I couldn't live without her.

"We have to take the whole table with us," Entrapta responds. "O-Okay..." Bow says as he goes over to the table to pick it up.

Entrapta follows him and strands of her hair help Bow carry it out of the ship doors.

Glimmer comes up to me and puts a hand on my shoulder, making me jump.

"Look, I'm sorry... About what I did before, I really am, Catra. I never knew this would happen," Glimmer says, tearing up a bit.

"It's okay, Sparkles," I reply, a small smile on my face.

"Thank you, Catra." Glimmer hugs me unexpectedly.

Before all of this happened I never would've hugged her back, but I did. I hugged her back just as tight as she hugged me.

"We better go," Glimmer says while letting me go. "Yeah," I reply.

Adora's POV

It really is so happy here, everything is so colorful. There are so many trees.

"Adora." I hear someone calling my name. They sound familiar, too. I just can't quite put my finger on it..

"Adora!" Wait, that's Swift Wind.

"Swift Wind! You're here too?" I ask.

"No, Adora. You can't stay here, you need to go back to Catra," Swift Wind says. "Who's Catra? Ohhh, wait! I know Catra! She told me she loved me which made me..." I slow down, processing what happened. "Which made me stab myself, because I was under a simulation where she said the same thing.."

Swift Wind nods. "But you don't understand, Catra loves you and she needs you, Adora. She really needs you." He says.

"But I don't even know how to get out of here," I reply.

"I do." He smiles as he kneels down, allowing me to climb on his back.

Once I'm on, he nods and takes off, up to the sun.

I cover my eyes from how bright it is.

"We're almost there!" Swift Wind yells before darkness swallows me.

I open my eyes, and my head lolls to the side.

I want to move my hands to cover my face from the sun, but I'm to weak to do it, but I can make noise.

I groan.

"Adora?" Bow's voice cracks. "Entrapta, she's awake!" He yells as I hear three pairs of footsteps running towards me.

"Adora, Adora!" Catra says. I look at her and give her a small smile. She has tears in her eyes.

A jolt of pain shoots through my body, coming from my stomach. I groan again and close my eyes.

"The wound opened again, she's bleeding. We have to get her to Bright Moon, now!" Entrapta yells.

Glimmer grabs everyone's hands and teleports us to Bright Moon.

"We're not taking her back to the infirmary, they didn't do anything last time. Entrapta, can you take care of her?" Glimmer looks at her hopefully.

Entrapta nods. "Yes, I can do it," she replies.

Glimmer grabs a hold of Entrapta's hand and she grabs the edge of the table.

Before she teleports again, I look at Catra for what might be the last time.

Glimmer teleports us away and Catra's face was the last thing I see before the sparkles cover my vision.

Entrapta's POV

As soon as we get to the room, I shove everything aside and move the table to the middle of the room.

"Glimmer, can you go get all of my tools? If I'm correct, some of the blade is still stuck in her stomach."

Glimmer nods and teleports away.

"I'm going to give you some pills, they will numb all the pain. I just need you to stay awake for me. Can you do that?"

Adora doesn't nod, she probably can't. "Y-yes." Her throat is dry, there's no way it isn't.

Glimmer teleports back and puts all my tools on the bed.

"Do you need anything else?" She asks. "I'm going to need a lot of blood. Tell the doctors it's for Adora, they'll know," I reply.

Glimmer nods again and then teleports.

I get the pills out of their container, and give them to Adora.

Glimmer comes back with the blood bags.

"I'll leave you two alone. If you need anything I'll be outside with Catra and Bow." Glimmer opens the door, then closes it.

"Alright, Adora. Just hang in there."
