Blurry Purple Memories (She-ra, an Entrapdak fanfiction)

Chapter Seven

Entrapta still didn't like crying.  While it was technically healthy to cry, she knew, she still didn't have to like it. 

She had by now wiped her eyes of her previous tears, and was instead back to examining the room. She needed to distract herself. She needed to find Hordak. 

Hordak would confirm that he did in fact care, that she was useful in more ways than a simple mechanic. Wouldn't he?

Yes. Cause they were friends. Friends cared about each other from what she had gathered, so that means he cared about her. Beast Island was just Beast Island. Those voices weren't real. 

Entrapta smiled to herself, her eyes softening at the thought. Her mask was pulled off now as she walked about the room on her hair, observing the ceiling more close up in a search of hidden air ducts. There had to be some somewhere, there was obviously something in this room supplying oxygen to her. 

Maybe she should try the bathroom.

Moving into the small restroom she started to search the floor. Maybe they had put it in a less obvious place? Abandoning putting her weight on her hair she got on all fours, crawling around on the white tiles as she searched for a ventaliation shaft. 

Imp was still looking out the window if anyone cared.

Entrapta was about to search the shower nozzle when a knock at the door was heard. Perking her head up, she turned to face the noise, getting back up on her legs as she walked to the door. She didn't know these people were polite enough to knock. Heck, she rarely ever knocked when going to and fro places. There's not exactly anyway to efficently knock in a ventilation shaft without everyone hearing it anyway. She shook her head a few times to shake off the thought before speaking. "Yeah, come in." She said nonchalantly, looking to the ceiling for a moment.

The door slid open, revealing none other than Hord Prime. He was smiling that unsettling smile again, making Entrapta furrow her brows a bit. Why was he so happy?

"Entrapta, hello." Hord Prime greeted, looking not at her, but at the ceiling. Entrapta followed his gaze, finding it landed exactly where she had taken the camera from. Oops. Was he gonna be mad?

Hord Prime returned his gaze to the princess upon noticing her slight twitch in worry. "I am not here to punish you, princess. I simply bring some news from an old...friend of yours." Entrapta could see Hord Prime contort his face into something of disgust at the word 'Friend,' but did not say anything. What did he mean by friend anyway? She had heard that Glimmer was somewhere on the ship from hearing tidbits of Bow's screeches as he ran off to find Adora, but she doubted it was about the Queen of Brightmoon. No, it had to be...

"Hordak?" She said aloud, more question like than intended. It had to be. He was on this ship, and as far as she knew, was welcomed back greatly and was now equal to this guy. Even if when she forst met Hord Prime she didn't see Hordak and Prime insulted him. They were still working together, right? Hordak wasn't hurt...Right?

She didn't even consider the possibility that Hordak could be in danger. But luckily, he must be fine, since here Hord Prime was with a message from him. Probably him, at least. Hord Prime didn't confirm that yet.

"...Yes." The galatic lord grimaced internally at confirming his brothers ridiculous title, but he could not let on anything about his brother being reconditioned. He needed to keep this girl vaguely informed if he wanted to use her how he saw fit. "Now..I see you've found the camera that was put in here. Could you take it out? It doubles as a projecter." Hord Prime put on another cheesy smile, leaning forward slightly towards the princess.
