Crimson Blood

Chapter 7

Adora's POV:

I shot up right away to find myself in a grassy meadow filled with flowers.

"Err- what are you all doing here?" I asked looking above me to see the entire Princess Alliance standing above me.

"Um we're your friends duhh" Mermista said easily as she held out her hand which I hesitantly took. 

"Anyway... any food, I'm kinda hungry?" I asked my stomach grumbling in agreement.

"Ooh! Right, I'll be right back! Mom, Is there anything in the kitchen?!" Glimmer said squealing as she teleported over to the Brightmoon kitchen.

"Glimmah," Angella said with a low pause, "Of couse! You don't have to ask, go in!" Queen Angella exclaimed chuckling while Glimmer giggled and teleported into the kitchen.

Confusion was bubbling up inside of me but I took the food from Glimmer's hand gently.

"You like it??" Glimmer asked questionably staring at me with wonder in her eyes.

"It's err great but I'm a little confused with all that's happened, how did we- I mean we were fighting and their were bots- Catra was terrible and we I don't know I just." I tried remembering everything that had happened but my mind was blank. 

"Um... Adora... How could you call your own girlfriend terrible?" Glimmer asked leaning her head forward.

"Girlfriend... I wait WHAT?!?!? When did this... how did you..." Glimmer put her hand out to signify a stop so I waited for a response.

"Have you gotten a concussion or something? Catra's always told me she worries about how often you bump your head, are you okay?" Glimmer asked with concern.

I gave out a deep sigh "No, I haven't can you just gimme a quick recap of the story just so I can be err sureee." I said  'very convincingly'.

"Alright fine, but don't expect a full fairytale! First off you reached out your hand for Catra in Thaymore and she took it. Then she went under inspection with my mom, at first Bow and I found her kinda rude to be honest but once we got to know her she was amazing! Plus, she had lots of funny embarrassing stories to tell about you... Then, you guys confessed and fell in love." Glimmer said with a quick stifled gasp at the end smiling.

"Thanks, but since Catra's my girlfriend and all shouldn't she be here along with the rest of you guys," I asked.

"Catra and I have gotten really into meditating with each other, I asked if she'd be okay with finding the pink flower blankets I keep in the castle! Shadow Weaver and Catra get along amazingly too! Sometimes we even all meditate together while Shadow Weaver gives us a peace of her incredible wisdom!" Perfuma said joyfully twirling around.

"Ooh here's Scorpia!" Perfuma said as she quickly pecked Scorpia on the lips followed by Scorpia lifting Perfuma up into a hug swirling her around with Perfuma's squeals of laughter.

"Huh!?" my mouth was gaped wide open as I gave blank stares at both of them.

"Scorpia also defected and those two are together!" Glimmer said cutting in quickly before anyone else had the chance to reply and I just nodded my head.

"Sorry Perfuma, I woulda been here earlier but I ended up having to climb up a bunch of intertwined vines to get up to get your blankets." Catra said as she tossed the blankets over to Perfuma.

"It's alright!" Perfuma said catching the blankets with ease.

I took a good look at Catra and realized she looked a little different, her normal lion's mane look was toned down a little. Her hair went just past her chin with lots of floof. Her normal clothes were replaced with a lighter orangish shade and grey pants with gold streaks. Her shoulder had a white drape hanging below it with gold highlights. In her hair she had a clip with the same design of the wing I had used to replace the Horde symbol.

"Hey Adora," Catra said flirtatiously while draping her arms around Adora's neck and leaning in close.

"Oh! Hey Catra! Sorry I was just..." I stuttered blushing feeling Catra's touch on my chin.

"You're such an idiot." Catra said shaking her head with a high pitched laughter slowly tightening her grip and loosening it to intertwine her fingers with mine.

Suddenly I felt myself give her a kiss on her cheek overwhelmed with happiness.

"Wow Adora, I've only been gone for like five minutes, didn't know you missed me so much," Catra said teasingly while rolling my ponytail around in her fingers.

I chuckled while loosely waving my hands, "Okay, fine, you got me." I said teasingly extra dramatic and in response Catra just rolled her eyes.

Catra laid in the bed and signaled for me to come over.

"Weren't we just... You know what never mind, it's just I keep having these strange thoughts as if..." I started as Catra came up to me and put both of her hands with support on my shoulders.

"Are you okay...?" Catra asked with concern.

"Yeah nevermind," I said, "but you look a little tired..." I said teasingly noticing Catra's eyes draping.

"Adora!" Catra squealed in protest as she felt herself getting lifted up in Adora's arms.

I chuckled amused at the sighting but then gently placed her on the bed while I cuddled my arms around her. 

"Bow tried to get me to do a marshmallow eating competition earlier today..." Catra mumbled sleepily.

"Nice," I said stroking her hair comforted at the look of a happy calm Catra.

"What happened after?" I asked wanting her to tell me more about this marshmallow eating story.

"I refused but then he started begging me and I finally gave in." Catra said sighing as she dug her head further into the comfort of the pillow.

"Okay..." Catra said sleepily as I daydreamed over the cuteness of her tone of voice. 

"Awww, is the little kitten being soft," I teased sniffing Catra's floofy hair.

"N-no I just wanted him to stop bugging me, that's all!" Catra exclaimed.

"Sure..." I said ready to fire back but then noticed the soft sight of a certain cat curled up by my side gently snoring. I smiled and dug my head further into Catra's hair and closed my eyes.
