Hardships

Revealations

Catra's POV:

I watched as Glimmer stormed out of the room, she had a look of disgust and anger as she gave me a side glare. What is her problem with me? I save her and this is how she repays me. I look at Hordak with a smirk and say, "Man, Princesses right? Always so emotional. I don't understand what was so upsetting about this cake or that footage. Women eh?". I say digging into my food and going to shove the spoon into my spoon until Prime chuckles and says, "Hmm, indeed. Very emotional indeed, you would know eh Catra?".

My eyes widen and I dropped the cake I had on my spoon and choked on my own spit. I coughed and banged my fist against my chest and looked at Prime, who only sat their patiently, his chin on the palm of his hand and he wore a smirk. I finally regained my composure and asked innocently, "Im not exactly sure what you mean sir, eh Prime". Horde Prime only sighs and stands up, putting on the footage of Adora fighting on repeat before I felt a hand on my shoulder and felt my hair stick up. "You said that women and princesses were always so blatant with their emotions, well so were you Commander". I scoff and look away from the footage of the beautiful blonde risking it all for her people and look into Prime's lifeless and mechanical green eyes and scoff. "Because they are, always so damn predictable and impulsive! You should see how much I protected Glimmer and she treats me like that. Im not like that". Horde Prime only laughs and says, "No, no its not that. Its not your 'fiancé' sister... its someone else isnt it?". My eyes widened and I felt my cheeks redden and run a hand through my hair and say roughly, "N-Nope. I dont have time to care for anyone or to have feelings or any of those distractions , got it?". Prime shakes his head and replays the footage, on an endless loop. My eyes were automatically captivated by Adora's beauty.

"elevated heart rate ", Horde Prime says squeezing my shoulder a bit, comfortably. I close my eyes and say, "What are you talking about?!". Prime chuckles and says, "Dilated pupils". I growl and rip my eyes off the footage to face him and ask frustratedly, "What?! What are you on about". Prime smirks and says, "Say... that girl in the footage. Whats her name? Oh yes Adora. She seems to have caught your interest. Perhaps you feel something for her". I scoff and say, "W-What no! Thats not true. I hate her. I hate Adora". Prime squeezed my shoulder and says, "I can see that. Its such a shame you are all so emotional. Its your weakness Commander. I can help you take down this Adora. I can make you happy, that is what you want correct?". I sigh and say, "What is it you want?". Prime grins creepily and says, "Pledge your loyalty to me sister and I'll do good on my end". You need to get out of here Catra. Its time to pull a benedict arnold.

I nod and get on one knee, and saying, "I, Catra of the Horde pledge fealty to you almighty Horde Prime". Prime smiles and lifts me up and says, "Welcome to the family, sister". Im in. I smile and say, "Thank you Brother Prime". I watched as he nodded and walked out of the door. Leaving me in my thoughts. Why? Why dont I just stay here . It'd be better for everyone. Especially Adora. Shes better off without me , which is why I need to get Glimmer out of here safely and swiftly. I have a feeling it'll only get rockier from here.
