Chapter 15

"(Y/N)...!"

"(Y/N) talk to us...!!"

"Dammit (Y/N)!! Look at us!!" 

This time I obeyed, looking at my friends with widened eyes as a black shadow vanished from the area. Their eyes only spreading in concern as mine turned black, I could feel my eyes tearing up so fast, and soon I was a messing sob.

"No, no, no! No!" Adora held my hands and Glimmer hugged me tighly. "Did you see her?? Did you saw Shadow Weaver!" I stared at her in confusion, but she quickly ran out the springs to grab her sword. Wait, sword?!

"Adora! There's no one here! You brought your sword in here? Is any of you okay?" Adora looked down and then at me. "Shadow Weaver was here. She was right next to (Y/N)! I saw her! In the Sorceress Hall too!"

"I didn't see anything Adora..." But she shook her head, still with her head down. "Who is Shadow Weaver?" I asked, holding Adora's hand softly. "Shadow Weaver raised me. In the Horde she taught me to read, tie my boots, subvert the enemy and be victorious in battle."

"Okay, sure. Mom stuff." Glimmer shrugged and I sat in front of Adora, my eyes were still black and Bow was drying my cheeks with his fingers. "No. Commanding officer stuff." Adora looked down ay our entwined fingers. "And mom stuff..." She whispered again. "Adora, she isn't here. She was never here. It's not possible. (Y/N) only had a bad nightmare and you are tired." Reassured Glimmer. "You don't know what she's capable of."

"Sounds like this Shadow Weaver really did a number on you growing up, but you're okay." The archer said, hugging Adora. "Adora, you got away from her, and now you have us. Do you wanna try something else...?" I asked. "Yeah, we could get massages or we could find you something to hit if that would work better." Bow agreed.

"No. It's okay. I'm okay. I think I need to be alone. Clear my head." Adora muttered, making me furrow my eyebrows in concern. "You sure?" Glimmer asked. "Yeah... Please take care of (Y/N)." I smiled, glad that she worries about me. I kissed her cheek and followed Glimmer and Bow out of the hot springs.

"(Y/N), what happend to you in there? Are you sure it was really a nightmare?" Asked Bow, gesturing me to sit down. "I mean... I don't know. Maybe it was, but it didn't feel like my imagination, it felt... Like if someone was really invading my mind." I muttered the last part and Glimmer held my hand, getting my attention. "Tell us, what did you see?"

I pursed my lips. "I... Nothing. That's the thing, there was nothing but a voice. This time it was a woman calling out to me..." Bow and Glimmer looked at each other, siting me on a bench. "What was it saying? The voice?" Asked Bow, and after a few seconds of silence, I answered. 

"She... She said she's Mother, and I am hers only." Both of them wore a concerned expression, holding my hands with surety and protection. "Mother? What, is it really your mom?" I shook my head at Bow's questions. "No, it was someone totally different, more... More menacing."

"You know what, we came here to give you both some relaxation time, but it's obviously not working..." Glimmer crossed her arms, gazing away from us. I felt sorry, she only wanted to help and we caused more stress. "I'm sorry Glimmer... But it's hard to relax after so many things. Perhaps we should stop forcing ourselves and enjoy that we are safe."

"I agree, it's almost time to eat. We better walk back inside." Glimmer groaned and Bow only flashed her a smile as they walked away. I turned, staring at the entrance of the hot springs. I hope Adora is okay...

// Timeskip //

An hour has passed, and we haven't heard from Adora since we saw her in the springs, maybe it was a bad idea to leave her alone there, I could feel the same feelings in Glimmer and Bow. But we couldn't leave, Glimmer's aunt wouldn't let us until we finish dinner, if this is really how the royalty life is, I don't want any of it.
