**AUTHOR'S NOTE: THIS STORY CONTAINS MATURE SUBJECT MATTER THAT SOME READERS MAY FIND DISTURBING. Please read the content warnings for each chapter before reading. Reader discretion is advised.** Adora and her best friend Catra have been working for the notorious Horde gang for as long as they can remember. Picking pockets for a living may not be a great way to grow up, but it's better than living on the streets without protection. But when she's promoted to Force Captain and becomes a full-fledged member of the gang, Adora realizes the Horde is far worse than she ever could have imagined. If she wants to escape this dangerous world of crime, Adora will need to work with a group of vigilantes to bring down the Horde and expose the corruption within Etheria's police force. But when Catra chooses to stay with the gang, Adora must figure out if she can serve the greater good while protecting the people she loves, or risk losing it all.

I'm sorry to say but this work has officially been discontinued. My reasoning is that I was a much different person when I started to write this back in 2020. If I were to pick it up again now, 5 years later, I have no idea how I would even go about it. The story plan has long been deleted. ___________________________________________ Even though the war was over, doesn't mean that everything was now a utopia of some sort. Whilst the Queen Of Brightmoon, (Glimmer) is out returning to Brightmoon, Catra is busy trying to fix what she has broken. However, time and time again, she fails to make even a slight change because everyone wouldn't let go of the past. 'Her crimes were too great for her to change.' - They said. Things seem to start beginning to get better for the Half-cat. People see her as a normal person and stop being afraid. But when things drive downhill, Adora's beloved partner is faced with a heavy decision that'll change everything.

"In another life, I would be your girl, We keep all our promises, Be us against the world." ------ What would you do if you found out that the life you thought you were living was all actually in your head? That everything you thought you knew was a lie and that your entire reality was nothing more than a fleeting dream? When Adora wakes up in the Horde and discovers that she had never found She-Ra's sword and had never defected to the rebellion's side, she has to walk the fine line of reality and find out the truth. Is this all an elaborate plot to win back her loyalty to the Horde? Or had she truly made it all up? Either way, things are not what they seem and now it's up to Adora to find the answer to the real question tucked away in the back of her mind: if the world she thought was real still exists somewhere, does she really want to go back? ------ Published: July 29, 2019 Finished: -------
