Despite the wall between us (catradora)

Chapter: one

Adora's POV (when she was 7)

I like the forest, I can get away from Mrs. Lighthope yelling at me, training and all my other problems. The forest makes me feel free, it makes me feel like there's a world out there just waiting to be explored.

I run around the river bend hearing the faint sound of crying. "Is anyone there?" I ask following the noise. In a patch of grass surrounded by trees I see a girl sopping. "Maybe, she's lost or something?" I whisper snapping a twig.

"Who's there?" The girl asks we're I notice her unusual ears and..tail?
Oh my gosh, she has a tail! "I know you're there" she says

"Hi" I say walking out from behind a tree. The girl stares at me confused. "You look like a cat" I smile running up to her to get a closer look. "I'm adora, by the way, what's your name?"

"I-I'm catra" the girl says sounding uncomfortable. "Can you stop starring at me?"

"Oh sorry" I apologize back away, "it's just I've never seen a cat turn into a person before"

"I didn't turn into a person!" She snaps back, "I was just born like this" she whispers squeezing her hand into a fist.

"So you're like me?" I ask, where she looks back at me confused. "I'm magic" I smile making my eyes glow.

"H-how do you do that?" Catra asks, "I thought magic disappeared from this land thousands of years ago?"

"I'm not sure" I shrug, "I was born like that. But a more important question is do you want to play with me?"

"S-sure"Catra smiles, as we run into the forest playing a game of tag.

"Ow!" Catra says pulling her leg close to her chest after she tripped over some roots.

"Are you okay?" I ask running over, to see large rocks stuck in her knee. Probably causing her a lot of pain.

"For the honour of greyscull!" I yell transform into she-ra,

"What the?" Catra starts freaking out as I begging to heal her injury.
Then detransform, "What was that?"

"Thats she-ra" I say falling to the ground. "She super strong, and lighthope has been training me to unlock all of her abilities. But I still get really tired after I use here" I try to smile.

"Lighthope? Is she your mom?" Catra asks

I shake my head, "no, I never met my mom. But lighthope has taken care of me for as long as I can remember."

"I don't have a mom, either" Catra says sitting crisscross apple sauce in front of me.

"Do you wanna be my friend?!" I suddenly yell, causing her to jump.

"You wanna be my friend?"

"Yep" I smile

"I've never had a friend before"

"Then I'll be your first" I smile grabbing her hand,
