The Wedding

Chapter 4: Bad Dreams

Catras POV
"No stop it! You can't make me hurt Adora Prime! I won't do it!"

"Oh but you will little sister." He grabs my arm a little too tightly and starts dragging me to the green pool. "You will do as I say."

I'm trying to fight with all my might but no matter how hard I squirm, punch, kick, or claw his grip never breaks loose. "I won't go in there! I won't be another mindless freak!"

I continue to fight but to no success. I feel his grip let go of me and I fall into the green pool. It hurts. A lot. I've felt pain before thanks to Shadow Weaver but this is different. This is like being bitten and stung over every inch of my body with no relief.

I emerge from the pool feeling no more pain. In fact, I feel nothing. I cannot even think. All I hear is Prime in my head "Now little sister show me what you desire."

"Yes Lord Prime."

Images of Adora start over flowing in my head. Images from when we were kids and growing up in the Frightzone to images that I imagine of us in the future. He must of found one he liked cuz he continued to play out that one.

It was of Adora and I. We were in Brightmoon. I was wearing a white tux with gold and I look over to see her looking beautiful in a white dress with gold trimming. She takes my hand and says she loves me, says we will always be together. I go to Adora and hug her tight for fear of what would happen if I let go. "Don't go Adora." Then I look up expecting to see Adora's face and blue eyes but instead I'm met with Prime.

I quickly let go of Prime. "What did you do?! Where's Adora!"

"Oh Little Sister. She left you. Just like she left you for the rebellion."

"No Adora would never leave me."

"But she did. She doesn't love you. How could she? Look at you. You tried to kill her countless times. You're a monster."

"I would never hurt Adora! I wouldn't! I never planned on hurting her!"

"She's gone. She left you. She never loved you. But I do. Prime loves all his children."

Adora's POV
"Catra wake up! Catra!" Catra woke me up from sleep as she was tossing and turning. She would mumble words. I couldn't make out much of them. But I was able to make out a few like "Horde Prime" and "don't go."

"Catra please wake up," this time I'm shaking her rather hard in an attempt to wake her up. Catra please wake up. I'm worried.

"Ah! Let me go!" Next thing I know my arm is bleeding. In attempt to wake her up she clawed my arm.

"Catra!" I pull my arm away and put my hand on the new wounds. I see her face go from pure hatred to guilt and sadness.

"Oh my God Adora! Adora are you okay? I am so sorry I didn't mean to." She reaches for my arm to see the damage she has done.

"I'm fine. It's just a scratch. It'll heal. Are you okay? It sounded like another bad dream."

"Yeah....I'm fine. Just a stupid dream that's all." I notice she grabs the back of her neck.

"Catra the chip is gone. Prime is gone." I grab her hand and stroke it gently with my thumbs.

"I know." She sighs and falls into me crying. "Don't leave me Adora."

"I won't. I'm not going anywhere. I promise." I hold her until we fall asleep again. She will tell me when she's ready.
