When our eyes met

Chapter XVIII A Strange Yet Familiar Face

Adora disappeared. The chains fell and for a moment the room was empty. A flash of light and another person who looked like Adora was there. She was.. Noticeably different however. She didn't have the scars the knight Adora did. Her hair was up in her ponytail and she was dressed... Oddly. Wearing blue jeans and a t-shirt with the beginning of a baby bump visible. She was unconscious though. She slumped back against the wall where the Knight had just been screaming.

Light Spinner narrowed her eyes but she didn't pay much attention to take care of that new life that was brought there by the spell she performed. Her eyes scanned her but soon she called the guards. She ordered them to throw her in the woods if she survived the night she would be lucky.

They did exactly that.

They picked up the unconscious woman and rode into the woods to throw her somewhere in the dark of the night.

After several minutes the girl felt the cold of the wind brushing her skin. A shiver ran down her skin as she was dressed up with no warm clothes for such weather. Her eyes opened and she rolled onto her side. She wrapped an arm around her belly. Her first concern was her child. Her second was the raging migraine and... She groaned. "Catra..? Where am I..?" She lifted her head finally. She squinted as she looked around before pulling herself up and mumbling to her self "how in the fuck did I get into the woods" She started shuffling through them while heading towards Brightmoon simply by luck. There were already some paths to open the ways for the carriages so she followed one of them. The blonde girl finally saw two figures in the distance. She didn't know who was there but they looked like a woman with a taller man by her side were wandering around. Her blue eyes opened and almost stubbled by the feeling of her head aching.

The brunette widow was on a late night walk. It was tonight that she got informed about the knight's death and she just..couldn't stay in the palace. Queen Angella allowed her to go out only with a guard to escort her. The doctor had made a mixture of herbs and gave it to the woman since she wouldn't even be able to walk after an announcement like that. The herbs were mostly numbing her pain. Her thoughts were about the blonde knight she lost... but she couldn't cry. It seemed the doctor did help a lot to numb all this pressure. Her eyes were looking around and she was covered by a woollen cloak to be warm. When she saw a figure far in the woods her guard stepped in front of her and stopped her till she saw the other blonde. She looked...so much like Adora but...was less muscular. Every scar seemed to not be there either. She was dressed too weird..weirder than just wearing pants. The fabric was... different. "Okay... Now I'm seeing things.." she whispered and placed a hand on the guard who didn't leave her side. It seemed that she wasn't the only one seeing the girl.

The man was holding a torch and walked towards the stranger.

Adora kept an arm around her stomach. When she saw the castle all tall in front of her her eyes widened "Where am I...? Where's the city...? The cars...?" When she saw the guard and Catra behind him she didn't notice the dress or her pregnant belly yet. Her eyes widened as she called out her name and approached her "Catra! There you are I-.. Why-.. Why are you wearing a dress I-... Oh... You uh.." She just stared at her stomach, looking down at her before looking up again "You're not my Catra"

Catra's ears perked up when she heard her talk. Her voice was the same as her knight's but... Her accent was way too different. "That's what we all wear... You're the one wearing weird clothes.." She narrowed her eyes and looked at her from head to toe. " It's obviously...a misunderstanding.. I'm Catra... Princess of the Horde kingdom... And you're standing there not only not bowing but looking way too similar to my...my deceased knight" She glared at her. Her arm wrapped around her stomach as the guard placed a hand on his belt to where his sword was, just in case.
