Adora's PoV
"Hey!" (AC/N) whispers sweetly, walking towards me. Her eyes bright in happiness as she sees me dismount. I transformed back into my normal self as she gets closer, not truly believe my eyes. She was here, awake and even though she was still hurt, the spark in her eyes was there, her gentle lovely gaze looking at me and I had to fight the sudden want to cry of happiness
She stops right in front of me and looks deep into my eyes with love and worry, but mostly relief. Like I was the one who got badly hurt. I can see some bruises on her face and neck... not as bad as they were before but they were still there
"(AC/... I... I'm" I start but she buries herself on my chest. Wrapping her arms around my shoulders and face on my neck, hugging me so tight that I would've thought she was the one worry about losing me to the wounds and not the other way around. Melting into her warmth, I embrace her back and drink in the fact the she was here. In my arms
"I was so worry" she whispers with pain and sorrow in her voice, tightening her grip on me
"You were worry? I thought I los... You were.." I start saying but seeing her again and knowing she was awake fill me with so many emotions that I didn't know how to deal with them, so I just hold her tighter, making sure she was actually here... not some hologram like the ones Light Hope just showed me
"Shh.. It's ok Adora... I'm here... I'm not going anywhere, I promise...." (AC/N) whispers sweetly, almost like she just read my mind. She pulls away but I don't take my hand from her waist so she places hers on the back of my neck, smiling happily at me, I look down sorrowly
'she is hurt....and it's all my fault... She might be better of without me after all'
"....What... what is it?" She asks worryingly, gently placing her finger under my chin and raising it to meet her eyes. I want to tell her how sorry I am.... that it was my fault but she will stop me... She will say is not my fault
"Noth.. Nothing, I'm just really glad you are ok" I say to her but she is not convinced but before she could ask again the Queen said
"It's taking nearly all my strength just to keep my connection with it" the Queen gets our attention so we look at our friend and let go of each other but I still kept my hand near her, she was clearly still weak and exhausted and could fall or sway at any minute
"That cloud is coming from the Fright Zone" I say to them
"So what's our plan? We do have a plan... right? Guys?" Bow says worry. I turn around and watch the woods. They were frozen and easily falling apart. The perfect opportunity to attack
"The woods are frozen over. There's nothing left to shield Bright Moon from the Horde. We have to prepare for an attack" I say with determination. I turn back to my friends and I see that they are scared But then I feel a hand hold mine and I look down... I see (AC/N)'s hand. I look at her and she gives me a small smile
"Then let's go inside... We can come up with a plan in the war room" she says with determination and hopefulness, looking at Bow and Glimmer and they smile a little less scared
As we enter the war room we go to sit in our respective sits and when (AC/N) tried to say she didn't need it I convinced her to take a sit. She might be awake and walking fine but there was no reason why we should push our luck
"Our scouts have reported sightings of the entire Horde Army in the woods, moving towards us at top speed" Bow reports
"We must protect Bright Moon at all costs. If the Moonstone is destroyed, there will be nothing left to stop the darkness" the Queen explains
"Someone must've seen the distress beacon by now, why hasn't anyone come?" Bow asks sad
"They will... I know they will" (AC/N) smiles at him and he returns it
"The Alliance is broken and other princesses have their own kingdoms to protect.... No one's coming Bow" I say a little mad, taking a step next to (AC/N)'s chair
"Wait what?! What happened to The princess alliance?" (AC/N) asks surprised, looking at me
"Uhh... after we got out of the Fright Zone the princess alliance fell apart" Glimmer says sad and looking down
"Oh" (AC/N) gasps sad so place my hand on her shoulder, her head slightly leaning to it. The door opens and a guard came in
"Someone's come!" she says excited
"Is it the princesses?...." Bow asks excited. The guard moves and reveals Netossa and Spinderella. (AC/N) smiles and waves at them, they gladly returning it. Their expressions relief and happy to see her back on her feet again
"...Oh... Spinnerella and Netossa ha ha, thanks for coming guys" Bow says clearly lying
"You still don't know what we do, do you?" Netossa says angrily and he shakes his head in guilt
"Bow it's in their names" (AC/N) giggles. I feel my heart beat faster at the sight of seeing her happy
"Seriously?! It's in the name, NET- Tossa... NETS, I toss NETS! Okay?" Netossa says angrily and spinderella hugs her
'they care so much about each other... I wish I could that with... (AC/N)'
"At least you have powers, which is more than I've got. But it doesn't matter. I don't need magic to fight!" Glimmer says with determination
"Right back at you sis... I might not have my magic at 100%... But I'm still fighting with you guys" (AC/N) shouts with confidence, I frown
"What no.." I start but the Queen interrupts me
"Glimmer, not only are you without your powers but your still glitching, it's too dangerous..." Angella starts and then looks at (AC/N)
"....And (Y/N) You are still wounded.... you can't risk getting hurt again" she finished
"But mom!" Glimmer says
"But Your Majesty !" (AC/N) protests standing up
"The Queen is right, I don't want any of you risking yourselves. She-ra can do this alone. This is what she is for" I say angrily but also sad
"What she is for?!... Adora you are not some object to be send on a suicidal mission. This will be a battle. We are NOT sending you alone to fight them. You are not alone, we have your back remember.... Not even She-ra can do this on her own" (AC/N) says to me a bit mad and hurt. She reaches for my arm but I step away before she could
"Then what good is she?... What good am I?" I shout angrily at her, she steps back surprised and slightly hurt
'i hurt her again... What's wrong with me?'
I can't keep hurting her. Looking away from her and everyone else I walk out of the room without saying another word
(Y/N)'s PoV
'how can she think that?'
I look as Adora walks out of the room and then turn back to me friends
"I... I'll talk to her" I say, waking away too and following Adora. I see her looking at the Moonstone
"Adora you are not just She-ra... You are not here just to fulfill some destiny written by the First Ones a thousand years ago..." I say strongly but soft, walking next to her
"....You make your own choices... And I'll be here, by your side every step of the way. But please don't think you are here just to safe us... you can't give your life away just to keep people safe. You deserve to be happy, to live a beautiful life..." I say but she is not convinced. She still looking at he Moonstone
"....You are here because you are our friend... Our family.... You are so much more than just She-ra.." I try again but she interrupts me this time
"But I am She-ra... I'm supposed to safe everyone... to stop the Horde... to protect everyone.... to.... to keep you safe" she says sorrowly, finally looking at me
"And you are... Adora all those thing... you have been doing them since the start... With or without the sword..." I grab her hands, looking at her deep into her eyes
"....Adora you are extraordinary.... And you never needed the sword for that. In fact I think the sword would be just some piece of fancy metal without you.....But YOU... You would still be the badass warrior I have ever seen without it... and that's a fact...
...We are here for you... I'm here for you and I would fight by your side in every battle because you are someone worth fighting alongside with" I say smiling and she giggles
"Thanks (AC/N)... it means a lot you think that" she tighten the grip in our hands
"Ahh wait.... I KNOW that" I laugh and she does the same. As we laugh I realized how close we were from each other and as she looks at me I could see that she saw it too. There was a hint of desire and love in her eyes as she step even closer. My heart skips a beat for it and then completely stops when she looks down at my lips, her eyes darkening with want and lust
'is she going to...'
"Uhh (Y/N)?! My mom wants to talk to you" Glim says a bit embarrassed, making us yelps surprised. We quickly pull away from each other, both of us blushing hard and not meeting each other's eyes
"Uhh.... I.... we... why?" I ask nervous, hoping the blush in my face wasn't that obvious
"She wants to talk about your powers... I think" she says and I nod. And with that I make my way back to the war room and leave Adora and my friends to talk
'was Adora going to kiss me?? Ohh my...does she feel the same way about me?'
*time skip*
The Queen wanted to know if I could fight... she tried to convince me not to but like always, I'm too stubborn to listen... So now we are walking to the secret armory that was supposed to be a secret from her
"Wait... You knew about this?... since when?" I ask surprise and she giggles
"For a long time... you two can't hide a secret too well" she laughs and I do too
"Point taken" I say as she opens the door
"Glimmer" Angela says startling her and the others
"Ah mo... mom! How'd you know we'd be in here?" Glim asks and then looks at me suspiciously
"Hey don't look at me... she already knew" I laugh, walking inside to pick a weapon
"Did you really think I wouldn't notice you two were hoarding weapons?" the Queen asks mocking and as they continue their conversation I walk to a wall and see a sword and a staff so I grab it
(honestly I want one...😂😂)
I play with the sword for a little bit, testing the weight and balance till.....
"There is nothing I can say to convince you not to fight this battle, is it?" Adora asks concerned behind me and I turn to her
"Would you?... If you were in my place" I ask her a little teasingly. She smiles and shakes her head
"Noo... I would fight..." she giggles but then walks closer to me
"...But please be careful I.... I don't want you to get hurt... again" she finished, I place my hand on her shoulder and smile
"That goes both ways blondie" I laugh and she does the same
'god I love her laugh... i love her... what if something happens... and I can't tell her how I feel'
"Uh.. Adora I... I need to tell you something..." I start a bit embarrassed. she nods and listens
"I... you.. for a long... I lov..." I mumble but an explosion caught our attention, it made the whole castle tremble and I'm about to fall but she caught me and sweetly hugs me
"They are here" She says with determination but a bit scared. Letting go of me and reaching for her sword. She transforms into She-ra, and with the usual cold shiver I always feel when she does, some flashes of Shadow Weaver torturing me with the sword comes back, making me tremble in fear but thankfully no one noticed as we make our way outside, gasping at the view
"Those are a lot of soldiers..." I say a bit scared. Glimmer and Bow hold my hands while Adora walks forward
'THIS IS IT... we are at WAR...
..... whatever happens today will define our future...
....The future of Etheria.... No pressure right?'
"We got this.... Right?" Bow asks a bit scared
"Yeah... Definitely" Adora says looking back at us
"They're going to be sorry they ever tried to mess with Bright Moon" Glim says happily and smirking
"They are going to regret ever messing with the ~best friend squad~" I smirk getting my sword. One of their tanks shoots a green blast at the Runestone but it has a shield so it didn't hurt it
"Defend the Castle" She-ra says jumping off to attack
'please be safe... please come back... come back to me'
