The Girl who Cried Adora

Prologue

12 years ago

"Come on Adora, It's gonna be fine I promise." A young girl no more than seven to eight years old called out in a hushed tone from around a corner. Her mixed eyes pierced the darkness of the corridors as if they were catted eyes. Her long floofy hair stuck up in awkward directions as if she just got out of bed making it look Similar to an Afro. Her black shorts and black shirt make her blend into the darkness easily making it almost impossible to see her.

"B-But Catra We're Gonna get caught by Shadow Weaver!" Another young female replied as she popped out around from behind a door frame. She was around nine or so years old. Her long blond hair was a tangled mess like the other female's hair was. She tiptoed over to the smaller female and crouched down meeting eye to eye with her. Her white nightgown stood out like a sore thumb in the darkness of the corridor.

"Adora, I promise We're not gonna get caught but even if we do, I'll take the blame so you don't have to," Catra said with a smile as she placed one of her hands onto Adora's shoulder.

Adora gave her a nod and hugged her before she slowly pushed passed her. Catra followed the elder with a mischievous smile as they approached the stairs that lead to the main floor of the building. When they approached the stairs they could hear and see a dim blue glowing light of the tv on in the main family room. The two girls took a deep breath and held each other's hands as they made their descent towards the kitchen which was on the left side of the stairs. They stayed quiet at the times even forgetting to breathe. Their steps were soft and nimble as they tried their best not to get noticed by Show Weaver, who was sitting in the main family room watching tv just to the right of the stairs. Which each step the girls took no matter how quite they were the stairs squeaked and groaned from decades of use.

Once the girls had finally descended to the ground floor, Catra took a quick glance around the door frame and peered into the Family room and saw Shadow weaver laying on the couch presumably asleep. She glanced back at Adora and gave her nod signaling that they were in the clear. Adora returned the silent nod with her own as she silently snuck into the kitchen with Catra on her heels. They stayed low so nobody would notice them as they had memorized where everything was in the kitchen. Catra stopped at a small counter which sat next to the refrigerator. She scrambled up onto the counter as slightly as possible as she stood up onto the counter so She could grab a large glass Jar that contained cookies inside of it. Adora kept watched as her best friend slowly started to pull the cookie jar closer and closer to the edge. The glass Jar made a squeaking, scraping sound as it was pulled ever so closer to the edge of the fridge. The girls kept quiet, so quiet that The could hear their own racing hearts that were pounding out of their chests in excitement and fear. But that excitement turned to panic and fear as Catra lost her footing and slipped off of the countertop. Everything went slow motion almost to Adora as she saw the cookie jar fall with Catra as she tried to grab onto anything as she fell. She could hear her heartbeat slow down as well. But in no Time everything went back to fast-paced action as Catra fell onto Adora who Caught her but the weight of the smaller female made them both crash to the ground with a loud thud as the cookie jar also slammed to the ground and shattered as pieces of glass and cookies flew everywhere across the kitchen floor.

"WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT?!" a Grainy yet icy calm sounding voice screamed from the Family room. In no time a tall Lady with greyish whitish skin and long dark silky hair appeared in the doorframe of the Kitchen as the bright kitchen lights flicked on. She had scars all across her face stretching from one side to the other.

Catra and Adora's Hearts stopped for a second. Their facing paling as both looked back at the figure standing in the doorframe. The girls froze one on top of each other as older and much taller female walked over to the children laying on the ground.

"YOU STUPID WORTHLESS CHILDREN!!" she screamed as she grabbed Catra by her throat in one hand and grabbed Adora by the hair in the other. The elder slammed Catra's back into the fridge and made her hit her head as well as she yanked onto her hair sending both girls into utter terror and pain.

"YOU TWO ARE WORTHLESS CHILDREN AND SHOULD BE HUNG BY THE NECK!!" The eldered continued to bellow as she locked her eyes onto the terrified Catra, "AND YOU! EVER SINCE YOUR WORTHLESS PARENTS BROUGHT YOU HERE YOU HAVE DONE NOTHING BUT BE A LITTLE CUNT AND I HOPE THAT YOU'LL NEVER GET ADOPTED AND I HOPE YOU END UP DEAD!!" she screamed into Catra's face.

Both of the girls were crying in pain and terror as The Elder squeezed her fingers around Catra's Throat even harder as it became almost impossible for Catra to breathe at this point. Her face started to turn blue before The Elder threw her to the side and made Catra go back first into the shattered glass. Glass shards big and small were lounged into Catra's Hands, Back, Legs and Forearms. She sat there balling her eyes out in pain and terror as she tried desperately to regain the breath that was lost.

The Elder Turned her attention to the blond Female and yanked her up by her hair viciously as she would begin to slap Adora Across repeatedly screaming, "PIECE OF WHITE GARBAGE!!!! YOU WILL NEVER BE SUCCESSFUL IN LIFE AND YOU'LL DIE A WASTE LIKE THE LITTLE FUCKING BITCH YOU ARE!!!"

Adora screamed and cried in pain as The elder continued to slap the Holy ever shit out of her making her face turn a dark almost blood red. While being slapped around like a rag doll The Elder's knuckle hit Adora's Nose and gave her a bloody nose. This abuse lasted all but 5 minutes total but to the two young girls, it felt like a century. After the beating had stopped, the elder tossed Adora to the side and made her hit back and head onto the bottom cabinets.

Shadoweaver took a deep breath and looked to the girls before walking out of the Kitchen with a disgusted yet eerily satisfied look on her face, "Clean this shit up or so help me god I'll kill both of you myself. Afterward, Go to bed, Neither one of you will receive any food for the next three days, Am I understood?" She said with an icy calmness to her voice.

Both Catra and Adora nodded as the female left the kitchen. Immediately after she left Adora quickly scrambled over to Catra and Embraced her into a painful hug as they sat there and cried together for a long while, Almost for ten minutes. After awhile the Adora Pulled Catra off and away from the glass and took a look at her and shook her head in anger and sadness for her friend.

"Catra Go upstairs and go see Lily, I'm sure all of them are awake now and let her get all of the glass prices out of you please. I'll be fine down here." Adora said with pleading eyes. She wiped off some of the glass that was just on top of her shirt and skin before hugging Catra once more tightly.

Catra returned the hug and said in a whispered into Adora's ear in a sad voice, "Promise me that You'll take us home."

"I Promise Catra that I'll take us home." Adora said in a reassuring and loving voice. She let go of Catra so she could go upstairs and so she herself, Could clean up the glass and cookies.

Catra nodded and slowly got to her feet and limped her way up the stairs where she was met by several Teenagers who immediately took her into the bathroom and started to treat her wounds. Adora stayed downstairs for a good twenty minutes feeling the stinging and throbbing pain of the slap marks that we're still very prominent. After she was done she headed upstairs into the bedroom. She laid down and waited for a good a before Catra came walking in, Instead of going straight for her own bunk which was right above Adora's she crawled into her bed and under the cover and cuddled up next to Adora. Catra was bandaged all up and down her body as she laid beside catra cuddling her in a protective manner that Adora returned. Before long the girls were fast asleep and They knew this was gonna be an endless nightmare for as long as they lived
