A Town Without You

8. You'd Be Surprised

The next day of school was definitely something. Not because something really interesting happened but because Scorpia and Perfuma.

She had seen Scorpia swoon over multiple kinds of people, even herself for a little while. But never like this, she had never seen Scorpia like this. She was looking at Perfuma with eyes that she could only describe as adoring.

Catra sighed, Scorpia would have the day off anyway today, since she was planning on hanging out with Adora without anyone there. And of course, because Scorpia deserved it.

Scorpia deserved to have someone that was nice and accepted her for who she was. Catra knew she hasn't always been the best friend she could've been.

She doesn't have a lot of regrets in life but not treating her friends the way they deserve to be treated is definitely one.

Catra knew she still had to tell Scorpia about her change of plans. How was she going to tell another member of The Horde that she's planning on disobeying orders? Shadow Weavers orders for that matter.

If she ever found out, both her and Scorpia would be dead. But if she didn't, Adora would die.

She couldn't let that happen, Adora was innocent and if she was being honest, how could she hurt her? She almost kissed her, she didn't do it because it would be horrible to kiss the girl that you're planning to kill.

Even though she really wanted to kiss her, more than anything. And that thought scared her, she had never felt that way about anyone else before.

Most people kind of disgusted her. It felt like she was meeting the same person in different bodies for most people.

Adora wasn't like that, she was so special and so unique. The same could be said for that entire friend group, they were all unique.. some of them in bad ways but most of them in good ways.

Adora was still different though, there was just something about her. Being close to her made her feel something that she had never felt before.

Talking to her was something she wished she could do forever. She could listen to her voice for hours and don't even get her started on when she was talking about something she loved.

Catra didn't try to make it too obvious. She didn't want her to know that she liked. She didn't know why, maybe it was the fear of being rejected or the fear of being seen for what she is, for what she feels.

The thought of anyone hurting her made her blood boil. Even though they haven't known each other for long, she got this feeling from Adora.

It felt as if she had always known her, as if they grew up together. She could talk so easily with her, it was almost a little bit insane.

She wasn't about to hurt Adora and she wasn't about to let anyone else either.

She knew she had to protect Adora and she also knew that she could never be with her. Adora would never love her when she knew the real story.

She'd thought about it a lot, what would she do if Ishe found out the person she likes is actually an assassin and has been trying to kill her?

Catra wouldn't like that one bit and she definitely wouldn't want to be with her. Not that she ever could be with Adora, she had to go back to The Horde after all.

There's no escaping The Horde.

It almost felt like a curse. She either had to risk her life for the girl she likes knowing that she will hate her forever. Or you know, kill her. Could this situation even be any worse?
