She-ra: Heirs of Etheria

Chapter 16 Talk

The three teens heard someone's voice out of the temple.
At first, they thought there were other clones, so Finn prepared for another fight, but then they recognized the voices of their parents.
"Mom! Dad! We're in here!" Yelled Cupid.
She-ra and the princesses entered in the temple from the only entrance there was.
They found the three teens in the center of a battleground.
Finn and Cupid were fine, but Hordette was lying on the floor, clearly hurt.
Hordak and Entrata ran to Hordette.
Entrapta knelt next to her. She took her from Cupid's arms and supporter her daughter's forehead on her lips, whining.
Hordak looked at her hair, which was cutted so short, except for one braid.
Then he looked at the clones on the ground.
"This is my fault" He wispered to himself.
Hordak brought Hordette on Mara's ship, where there were already Sirenella and Rose Bud.
The little girl cried because she wanted to go with Hordette, but she needed to rest. Sirenella gived the baby to her moms and then she had to face Mermista.
"Have you any idea of what you took part, Sirenella?! This was the stupidest thing you could ever done!" Mermista said to her daughter.
"And I imagine that you're happy that I've done it! Now you have something new to make me feel bad about!" Sirenella said .
"What are you talking about? Why would I be happy?".
"Because you love criticize me! You have done it every day of my life. For anything that I like, you find something that you don't and ruin it!" Sirenella started crying in front of her mom.
"Why none of what I do is enough for you, mom!? Why am I not good enough!?".
Mermista stattered for a moment.
She grabbed Sirenella' shoulders, she was shaking.
"Ella, no! Dear, you're the best thing that happened to me! Oh my starfishes, I'm so sorry!" She hugged her daughter and started to cry after her.
"I've never wanted to make you feel that way. I'm terrible in showing my feeling!
I know sometimes I seem unhappy, and I know I'm not as joyful as your dad. But belive me, sweete, I've always been proud of you!".
Sirenella hugged her mom back, smiling and crying in the same time.
She felt so much better now that she had talked to her mom.
"You're proud of me even if I'm friends with Hordak's daughter?" Asked the girl.
Mermista laughed a little. Then she wiped away the tears of Sirenella.
"You can be friends with whoever you decide, dear. And after all, I'm friends with Hordak's girlfriend! I can't really judge you!".

Hordette woke up in a room, in Bright Moon.
Entrapta and Hordak watched over her.
"Mom . . . Father . . ." Hordette rustled.
They were right next to her, looking so worried.
"We're here, Hordette. Everything will be alright now" Hordak reassured her, petting her head so gently, like his daughter was made of glass.
"Hordette, why did do that? We were so scared!" Said Entrapta.
"I'm sorry, mom. I wanted to help you! I came to Beast Island to find the missing piece of your project A, but I made a mistake. I wasn't ready to find out the truth!. . . Why are you two building another portal?" Hordette started to cry, holding Hordak's hand.
"After everything that happened, why are you building another one?" Hordette couldn't understant why her parents were doing such a thing.
Hordak and Entrapta looked at each other.
They sat on the bed, to talk to her.
"We knew this day would have come. You're old enough to listen to this" Hordak said.

In another part of the castle, Finn and Cupid were arguing with his parents and Adora, while Catra was standing far from them, back to the wall, petting Melog's head.
"You're such irresponsible! What were you thinking?! Escape from Bright Moon, steal a ship, go to Beast Island!" Said Adora.
"Don't forget the clones! We won against an amry of clones" Finn said, but Adora was not amused.
"We wanted to help Hordette!" Cupid said.
"How did you knew you could trust a girl that you just met!?" Glimmer asked.
Adora looked at her, with a big smile "Really, Glimmer?" She asked to her.
"What?" Glimmer thought about it for a second, and then she burst out laughing.
Adora did the same.
Bow asked to them what was so funny. Even Cupid and Finn were wondering what was going on.
"Those two idiots are laughing" Catra was saying Bow "Because they understood that we can't be mad with them for what they've done" Catra got closer to Finn and then she ruffled their hair.
Finn looked at Cupid with a surprised face. Cupid shrugged.
They didn't know what the adults were laughing about or why they were not in trouble.
"If we're not grounded, can we go see how's our friend, please?" Finn asked to them.
"Sure" Adora said "I really want to met this Hordette too".
