Adoras POV:

2 Weeks

2 weeks since I've left the Horde...my Home, my Life, my ......everything.

2 weeks of not being able to sleep properly. Of waking up, panicking and looking at the bottom of my Bed to see there is nothing...or noone there.

Bright Moon had many good qualities that the Horde never had. Clean floors, warm Water, AMAZING Food, good People (at least i think so). Bow and Glimmer wanted to make me feel as welcome as possible but I can feel the looks of some of the Guards and from People in Town. To them it's not She-ra, nor Adora but "that former Horde Scum" that walks among them and they dont hide the fact that they hate it.

The first few nights I couldn't sleep and snuck into Glimmer's room just to have someone near me (which ended when she fell out of her Bed a few to many times in suprise). The adjustment from not having Catra sleep with me was a lot harder than I imagined it to be.

As with most nights, in which sleep fails to find me, i go back again to that Day .....the Day i left the Horde. In Thaymor i was convinced that i made the right choice but in the long nights at Bright Moon, replaying Catras shocked Face and our short conversation, doubt came over me. "I should have said it... better '' I mutter and start again from the moment she popped out of the Tank. In the last 2 weeks i must have restarted this scenario at least 400 times in my Head and not once could i even imagine her coming with me.....because i soon realized that she was right. I didn't know Bow or Glimmer, I had no reason to trust them, I had seen what She-ra's Sword showed me but Carta had not and worst of all it made it look like I picked them over her...my oldest Friend, breaking countless Promises in the process. She looked more hurt and angry then i've ever seen her before. I start again to imagine but get ripped out by my own hands in my face stifling a small scream out of frustration.

With Tears in my Eyes i whisper "i miss you"

The constant whispering behind my back making me paranoid, the stares and mistrust making my Frustration and Self Doubt hit a breaking point. I get up, throw on my old Horde Jacked and sneak out the Window. For a moment I hesitate but leave the Sword in my Room. Without a set destination in mind I make my way into the Whispering Woods thinking "sorry Bow and Glimmer....but I need a break".

Catras POV:

After the pleasure that was Shadow Weaver berating me again for failing to bring Adora back and embarrassing her in front of Hordak, i finally am released to go and do my actual Job (even though i am convinced that the Title "SW's Punching bag" would fit better right now then Force Cpt.).

An ordinary Day filled with Training, some planning for an attack on Salineas (wherever that was), ordering new Equipment, shipping Logs and other small Logistics.....and I am bored out of my Skull.

I soon find myself up on a Tower that used to be our spot and catch myself thinking about the last few weeks. When Adora left I was beyond Angry and hurt ...but now I don't even know what to feel. Her betrayal still stung and I would only lie to myself by saying I don't miss her ....but since she left I was named Force Captain and finally got out of her Shadow. I should be happy and content that I can finally prove myself...yet I am not. Without her here all the success feels shallow and empty and makes me feel like nothing has changed at all. Shadow Weaver still treats me the same (aka like shit), i have not seen Hordak since he gave me my Badge and the rest still treat me the same... if not worse.

"Careful Catra". Adora is no longer here to protect you" Lonnie's Voice rung in my Head.

"Maybe she had a point in defecting to the other side" i angrily remark to myself. In secret i still hoped she would return even if i hated to admit that even to myself. "Why can't I just get over this?".

After the Sun went down I get back to the barracks and trow myself onto the Cot not caring who was in the Room. Most days, the Sleeping quarters were empty anyway since most Cadets found better accommodations fairly easily if they wanted. I was about to just let this shit Day end when my Ears picked up a weird sound at the end of the Room but before i can see what or who was hiding there i heard the last Voice i had expected and my Eyes went wide.

"Hey Catra"
