Hardships

Prime's Ship

Catra's POV:

I woke up with a hell of a headache and groan, clutching my head. I open my eyes and look around the dark room I was in. I blink confusedly before a man on a throne about 15 feet away from me caught my attention. "Brother Prime, we have gotten details that the guest is the Queen of this planet", I hear someone say before I see Hordak?! What the hell? I thought I killed him.. but he was different. He was white and he talked weirdly. That's when it hit me, this big ass dude on the throne is Horde Prime.

I gasp when I hear footsteps start towards me and quickly hide behind a pillar closer to Prime to listen in on the conversation. I peek over the pillar and my eyes widen when I saw Glimmer standing in front of Prime. "Ah, the queen eh? So you're the one that Im going to have to go through to claim this planet", Prime says in a honeyed tone, putting a hand on her cheek. Glimmer growls and says, "You will not touch my planet! My people will fight!". Prime chuckles and says, "Very well. I like a challenge afterall. And it seems like you're the challenge standing in my way. So I'll kill you here and get through to your fellow friends. I'll claim this planet like I claimed the rest".

I watched as Prime took out the claws on his hand and was going to grab Glimmer by the neck when I jumped out from behind the pillar and approached him. "You might not want to do that", I say looking at my claws and getting in front of Glimmer, taking his claw away from her face. He chuckled and says curiously, "And who are you?". I smirk and say, "Im Commander Catra of the Horde. I ruled along side your eh brother before I killed him and took over the Horde". He chuckles and says, "Ah yes, I remember you dear Catra. My brother didnt like you that much. But eh, I gotta say I like your boldness".

I chuckle and say, "I would imagine, anyways. Queen Glimmer is very important. If you wanna know more about this planet you need the Queen alive". Prime taps his chin and says, "Very well, and what do I need you for? Commander Catra of the Horde?". I look him in the eyes to show that I will not summit to him and say proudly, "I know the most about how to take down the Rebellion on Etheria. Im a necessity". Prime nods and turns around, heading towards his throne and says, "Very well, welcome to my ship. You will be acknowledged as honorable guests. Mi casa es tu casa. You know? So get comfortable, I have a feeling that you'll like it here". I nod and look at Glimmer through the corner of my eye and see her glaring at me dangerously.

"Thank you Horde Prime. We appreciate it greatly", I say nodding my head respectfully. "Feel free to roam the halls, I'll have my brothers watch over you. I will call you to dinner in a bit, that is if you are hungry", Horde Prime says from behind us as we were walked out of the room and into a hallway. Once we were left somewhat alone, Glimmer grabs my bicep and pulls me back. "What the hell was that about Catra?!", Glimmer asks angrily. My eyes widen, shocked at the raised tone she took with me. I look at the hand she had on my bicep and raised a brow and scoffed, "Excuse me?". Glimmer growls and grabs me by the collar of my shirt and says a bit more ticked off, "You heard me! What was that back there huh?! Who do you think you are? What are you playing at here?". I scoff disbelievingly and grab her hand and rip it off of my collar and look down at the bitchy queen in front of me and say, "I think Im the one that just saved your life. You know a thank you would be appreciated there your majesty". Glimmer scoffs and tried to pull her hand out of my grasp and I chuckled and pinned her against the wall.

"I had it handled Catra!", Glimmer yells angrily. I chuckle and say, "Hmm, Not from where I was standing Sparkles. And lets not forget you practically made my only home explode and I still protected you. The only reason you're alive right now is because I saved you. Even when you entered MY home. Injured MY people. Tried to attack ME.  And you know blew my birthplace up in ashes. I risked my own life to make sure you didnt perish on Horde grounds. I held a 100 pound metal panel on my back to save you from getting squashed like a pesky mosquito. So this little attitude that you're giving me isnt very appreciated,  alright your majesty?", I finish the last sentence with a bit of a hiss and let go of her wrist and start walking away. I felt a soft hand on my forearm and sigh already annoyed and turn my head and ask coldly, "What is it Sparkles?". Glimmer sighs and says, "Thank you. You didnt have to do all of that. And I really am sorry about your home. BUT let me make it clear to you that a couple of good deeds wont make me trust you. Make me forgive you. Make me want to be your friend. I appreciate everything you did. But I do not like you. At all. Got it?".

I chuckle and say teasingly, "Thats fine, but it was you that kissed me not the other way around". Glimmers eyes bulged out of her hesd comically and I only smirked and watched as her calm facade broke and her lips turned upside down in an annoyed pout and she says frustratedly, "It was in the heat of the moment ok! Dont think I actually like you". I chuckle and take her hand off my forearm and say, "Yeah yeah Sparkles, I believe you". Glimmer huffs and crosses her arms over her chest. We walked in comfortable silence before it was interrupted by Lord Prime's goons.

"Sisters, Lord Prime has ordered for your audience immediately. You are to have dinner with him". I raise a brow and Glimmer and I look at each other before we look back at the Prime goon and nod. They nod and escort us to a huge grey door. I look at Glimmer and she shrugs. Well, this is interesting...
