Chapter Four: Hateful Bond

STOMP, STOMP, STOMP!
"Raaaawrbiiiit." Reaching as deep as it may get into the forest, the Rhino-Frog beast hybrid slings Adora & Catra away from its long tongue onto the dirt. The two rolls across the dusty terrain then collides against each other, landing on the trunk of a big tree. The ambience of wild animals and insects travel throughout the forest.

Adora dryly coughs out in the swarm of dust flying around her. She feels a major warmth moving all over her lap, looking down to see what it is.

Catra: rrghmm...what...the heck...was that...?

Adora: I don't know, I've never seen a creature on Etheria like that...

A long pause queues between the two until a sudden realization hits their heads. Adora & Catra immediately separates from each other, getting into their fighting stances.

Catra: Oh what?! You're gonna try taking me down again?

Adora: YES! I won't stop until you tell me what you're doing on the beach! Knowing you, I just know you're up to planning another evil scheme.

Catra: LIKE I'VE SAID, I'M JUST ON A VACATION! Gosh, you dumb Princesses think you own every land on Etheria!

Adora focuses a glare at Catra then lets out a stiff sigh, dispositioning from her stance.

Adora: Oh whatever...anyways we're stranded far from our camps in the middle of nowhere because of that weird beast.

Catra: Ya don't say, Sherlock.

Adora crosses her arms as she looks down at the dirt.

Adora: I'm afraid to admit it, but...we may need to work together if we wanna make it back to the beach.

Catra's face cringes up as she takes a few steps back shaking her head.

Catra: Oooh nonono, I'd rather be stuck with that giant frog abomination thing than be stuck with a girl scout like you.

Adora: Well I'm serious! Believe it or not, we don't know what lurks in this forest and if we aren't careful, things could seriously take a bad turn for either of us!

Catra turns her back on Adora, already heading out all by herself.

Catra: I don't care, I'll gladly take my chances without you.

Before Catra could wander off any further, Adora grabs her tightly by the wrist.

Adora: I'm telling you...this is for the greater good.

Catra slightly adjusts her head to the side, staring at Adora with one eye.

Catra: Let. Me. Go.

Adora tightens her grip around Catra's wrist, getting closer to her.

Adora: We both know how dangerous it is out there. For God's sake Catra, can you NOT be stubborn for this one time?!

Catra: I SAID LET GO OF ME, DAMNIT!!!

Her other hand raises up with sharp claws stuck out, slashing it across Adora's cheek. Small drips of blood trickles down her jaw. Adora feels her palm against the scratched cheek, viewing a fresh print of her own blood afterwards.

Adora: Catra...

Her face scrunches up into anger, holding back a clenched fist. Catra's eyes widen up, she is trapped in Adora's grip and she only ticked her off more than she had expected.

Catra: H-Hold on! ADORA!

Adora: RRAAAAAHH!!!

Adora rams her fist right past Catra's head, punching the face of a rabid spider monkey with eight arms that was just about to land on Catra.
