Connection ~ (Highschool AU - Catradora)

Chapter 29

Adora's POV

I was standing in an empty room filled with darkness.

"Hello?" I called out.

No response, all that filled the room was emptiness and a chilling feeling down my spine. I looked around confused and slightly scared.

"Hello!" I repeated, but in a much louder voice.

"Adora..." A chilling voice called.

I whipped my head around to see a glimpse of light, I squinted my eyes to get a better view of what was shining. Then a figure emerged from the blinding light.

It was Angella.

I smiled and waited for her to come, "Are you okay?"

She kneeled next to me and had a bright smile on her face, "Adora, I'm in a better place now"

I stared at her and tilted my head, "What do you mean?"

Angella touched the side of my face and smiled even brighter than it was before, "I have to go now"

I continued to look at her with confusion, "Where do you have to go?"

"Please take care of Glimmer," She said, taking her hand off my cheek to hold both of my hands.

"Are you going to come back?" I asked.

She shook her head.

"Goodbye, Adora" She whispered, pressing a kiss to my forehead.

I tried to grab her hands but the only thing they grabbed was the thin air. I saw her begin to stand up and walked towards the bright light. I quickly scrambled to my feet and tried to race towards her.

"Angella! Wait! I can't do this on my own, Glimmer needs you!" I screamed, extending my arm in hopes that I would be able to catch up to her.

I continued to run after her but as I ran, it felt like I was getting farther and farther from the light she was standing in front of.

She looked back, a small tear escaping her eye.

"Take care of yourselves" She mumbled, before stepping into the light.

My eyes widened, "No! No!"

"Please, don't leave!"

~~~~~~~~~

I sat straight up. feeling a small cloth sliding off of my body. Catra must've put it on me when I fell asleep. I wheezed, trying to contain the endless tears that were coming from the dream or nightmare? That just occurred.

I furiously turned my head, trying to look where I was. I then realized that I was in Catra's living room, sleeping on the couch. My eyes landed on Catra's sleeping body, I slowly exhaled seeing that Catra didn't leave. Well, how could she leave? It was her house.

I slowly slipped out of the blanket that was still on my knees, I got onto my feet and packed up my stuff as quiet as possible. I slipped on my shoes and shrugged on my jacket, I was looking like a mess but all I needed to do was see Angella or Glimmer.

I tiptoed my way to the door that exited out of Catra's apartment, I carefully twisted the knob and exited her apartment.

I was about to go down the fleet of stairs that led to the parking lot, I couldn't ride my bike. I didn't have money for a taxi or uber. I would have to set foot to the hospital which was almost a two-hour walk but I had to get there somehow.
