Fixing Adora

Good Morning

  When Adora leaned into the touch, Angella smiled to herself. Seeing the young girl look so innocent, enjoying this moment of peace. "Only the First Ones know what she has been through." she thought. Moving to the chair where she left the clothes, she looked over at what she brought. "Seems this will do for now..." she said quietly.

Over on the bed Glimmer shifted slightly, eyes opening to see her mothers back. "Mom.." she started, only for the weight thats currently pinning her down to snuggle further into her. Not wanting to disturb Adora any further, gave Angella a smile when she turned around. Mouthing a thank you. The queen giving a slight nod walked out the room with a final goodnight. Closing the door behind her, with a click of the lock.

Glimmer sighed and fell into a peaceful sleep. While hearing the somewhat steady breathing, and feeling the heat of Adora behind her, she knew the blonde could rest easy.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Hours later~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When the pink haired princess started to stir. The sun coming in through the tiny window, fell right into her face. Stretching to get rid of the sleep clouding her, Glimmer remembered what happened only a few hours ago.

Feeling around the bed, the heat she fell asleep with last night was missing. In a panicked movement, she sat up in the bed and looked around the small room, she saw Adora. Glimmers eyes caught sight of the girl, seeing she was curled up again in the corner. Started to get up, she took small calculated steps towards Adora.

"Good morning Adora. How did you sleep?" said Glimmer, sleep still in her voice. Adora looked up from her corner and flinched.

Glimmer gave her a look up and down, taking in her appearance. Adora was still in her dirty uniform. Glancing behind her to the chair where her mom left clothes for the other girl, realized they where hers. "I forgot she only has like one set of clothes." The pink haired princess thought. Redirecting herself to the chair, grabbed the clothes.

Adora watched her with curiosity in her eyes. She didn't like being in such a small space, it felt suffocating.

When she noticed the pink haired girl that was in the room with her was starting to wake up, she raced to the corner of the room. She didn't want to be caught staring. She was startled at the sound of her voice. Making her flinch and her head pound more, showing weakness. "Shadow Weaver is just testing me, thats it. Thats all it has to be." Adora thought.

Turning around to see Adora giving her a weary glance, Glimmer gave a small smile. " Here, why don't we change you clothes? You a total mess!" she said with her usual cheeriness. When Adora did nothing but look up at her, she got worried. "Hey, you can hear me right?"

Glimmer needed to know because it seems like she was only reacting to movement. Not being sure, she did the only logical thing, call for her mother. Loudly. While staring at Adora, to see a reaction. This got one, though not a good one. Adora clamped her hands to her ears again.

"What the heck is a 'mom'. Is it a war cry? Is she calling more princesses?!" the blonde started to hyperventilate. She was in a small room, with no way out. Stuck with who ever this was.

Glimmer seeing Adora panic, realized her mistake. "Oh shoot! Why did I do that?!" she said under her breath. " At least I know she can hear." Putting her hands up in front of her she started to try to calm the girl. "Ack! I'm sorry! I shouldn't have yelled so early in the morning! I know you don't like that." Now Glimmer was panicking.

A few moments later the queen walked into the room. Angella walked in with graceful and careful steps. "Well good morning to you two." she said with a smile on her face. Only for it to drop when she noticed her daughter was as panicked as Adora. The clothing she picked up for the girl in a pile on the floor, forgotten.

Adora seeing the door open, went to bolt for it. With all the confusion she was able to get past the queen and the princess. "I have to get away!" she whispered to herself. She was stopped right before the door with a sudden pain taking over her. The stitches on her back popped, causing a resurgence of the pain. Quickly the shirt started to soak up the blood. Dropping to her knees, she cried out.

Angella was going to try and grab the girl before she got past her, but missed. Seeing as how the blonde was not anywhere near healed, she had to be careful not to disturb the stitches. She needed to stop the scared girl somehow though, just as she was thinking of plans she was pulled out of her thoughts by a cry full of pain.

"Glimmer, go get the medical supplies please?" the queen asked. " Castaspell will be here any moment and it seems she may require more stitches." Inspecting the girl that fell by the door, she heard her daughter poof out the room to do as she was told. Moving calmly to get closer to the fallen girl, she put a hand on Adoras shoulder.

Feeling the touch on her, she started to get up to run. This caused a new wave of pain to flood through her. Adora quickly turned around to face the queen, so to have her facing Angella. "G-Get away from me!" she shuffled trying to escape the room. Adora knew she couldn't get away, so she turned to begging. "I promise I d-didn't do anything. Shadow Weaver! Please end the test, I-I don't know what to do!" she sounded desperate.

Witnessing this, Angella tried to get close to the girl, to calm her. In turn, got a red and white boot to the chest, getting the air knocked out of her. Just as that happend, Glimmer showed back up in the room with a arm full supplies. Dropping them she shouts "Mom!" and ran over to her.

Adora, making contact with the queen made her freeze. Normally when she inflicts physical violence the test stop. Shadow Weaver would praise her. But not this time. This is something different. "T-this isn't a test, is it?" she started to shake. "Ah! I'm sorry!" guarding her face ready for a hit.

Glimmer looked in between her mom and her best friend. Queen Angella was slowly getting her breathing steady. It didn't so much as hurt, but surprised her.The princess unsure on what to do said, "Its okay... She's fine,see?" gesturing to her mom, who was rubbing the impact spot. "J-just don't do it again." Giving a small smile.

Around the corner,was Castaspella, who turned just in time to see Adora kick Angella.
