No Ones Tears •A Catradora Fic•

Hiding a Crown

Catra Pov♤ Third Person♤

     It has only been a day sense Catra's headress turned into a crown. She originally was going to take it off and not wear it till she could figure out why. But to many people around the horde were asking her why she wasnt wearing it. So in a desperate attempt to hid the gem she tapped paper over it matching her headbands colors.

     Catra was deep in planning with Entrapta. The princess had gained intell that the princesses were planning something nasty, no specific details. Chewing on a claw Catra's gaze stayed bluntly to the wall that had been put back together by Scorpia. Her focus was frained as her brain was still shaken from what happened the night before. Snapping her hair, just as fingers would snap, the princess smiled.

"You seem pretty distant today, i made a new coffee machine if that would help you focus? It real good coffee."

     Shaking her head Catra smiled, coffee wasnt going to help her at all right now. If anything it would make her more anxious. But if having Entrapta get her coffee would let her be alone then sure. Meeting the princess's gaze now Catra sighed.

"Sure. Grab my a cup."

     Getting up the princess went to do just that. Laying her head down in her arms Catra let herself relax now, her claws fidgeting on the table. As much as she hated princesses, the idea of being one, she almost missed that ... feeling she felt back in the First Ones Temple. Busy in her thoughts Catra didnt notice Scorpia come in, the tall goofball watched her at the table for a moment before sighing.

"Does someone need a nap?"

     Snapping upright her tail went rigged. Huffing Catra shook her head, becoming slightly annoyed at the comment.

"Im fine. I didnt get much sleep but, we have more important things to discuss."

     Entrapta who had just came back nodded, placing down the cup of coffee at the table.

"We need to be ready for an attack, or if anything we need to plan our own next moves. We know the black garnet can be used to do some wicked stuff. So how do we use it further." "Lets not talk about stupid princess gems right now! We need to figure out a bare to bones plan of attack. Entrapta, do you have those new mechs made and ready?"

     Pausing for a moment at being yelled at the princess slowly nodded. Scorpia stayed quiet as she thought, her gaze flicked to Catras headress and she quickly grew stiff. Tilting her head away so Scorpia couldnt possibly see the piece of paper she sighed.

"Then lets use the mechs. But for now.  Entrapta you should go and make sure they really are ready. And Scorpia. Go prepare the troups, especially Kyle... please."

     Both nodding the princesses headed out, though Scorpia seemed hesitant but did leave eventually. Leaning back defeatedly in her chair she took the head dress off. Taking the piece of paper off the gem she looked into its icy surface. How could she ever hid her new... "princess" identity from two princesses! Her ears went back as she thought about it more and more. The swirling secrecy she would have to stay under, it made her agitated. Getting up she slammed her chair in, heading out of the room and into the hall. The coffee on the table left untouched and now spilling over.

     It was now around noon, Catra was perched ontop of a pipe where she used to hang out with Adora. The view over the frightzone you could say was pretty. But not in the way that every view from a balacony should be. The fumes stung her nose and her eyes watered, from more then just the gases. The gems blue coloring reminded her of Adora's eyes. That perfect ocean of feelings that she could just fall into and drown in. She didnt have anyone to talk to about how she felt. Her heart ached as she fought against the urges to run out into the trees and find Adora. Like she had before. To just touch her arm again. But as Catra thought of what she wanted a new hatred formed. Adora did this to her, thats why the gems blue. Why would Adora change me into something im not! Something that will destroy me!. Pulling at her hair her eyes clouded over, but she didn't let a tear fall. There had been to much crying going around for a span of two days.

     Bottling up her emotions Catra jumped down from the pipe onto the roof. She had been sleeping up here alone for a while. A small blanket was set on the floor, one that smelled of Adora. It was to painfull to sleep in that bed alone anyways, back inside the Horde. Her headband, or crown, was off her head and to the side. Casted away as she numbly made shapes on the floor. Pushing around the dirt and smudge that littered it. She would get her chance to find Adora. And when she did she would find out the truth, she would find out why her best friend hurt her like this.

     Though somewhere deep down in Catra's chest she knew it wasnt the blondes fault that this happened. But who else was to blame? ... especially when Adora caused her so much heart ache.
