The whole group was there celebrating in Bright Moon for their victory over the Horde. Bow and Glimmer were complete party horses while Glimmer's mom tried to calm them. Mermista stood away from mostly everyone trying to act her usually self but it was very clear she was just as happy for their win. Everyone was doing something or another having a great time. Many people mostly congratulated Adora/She-ra for helping so much in the defense, all the while Adora tried to be as humble as possible. Adora celebrated with her new friends over the new victory she thought back to Catra.

Just the thought of her made Adora's stomach to twist and turn so much it almost made her feel sick. Catra caused what felt like hundreds of thousands of problems in Adora's head just by thinking about her giving her a headache. She thought about all that her ex-friend had done which just increased the headache. Also overtime Adora became increasingly aware of what she felt for Catra, which just hurt even more. 'I need some fresh air and a distraction' Adora thought before heading for one of the balconies. If she were to be honest she missed Catra dearly almost to the point of desperate, she missed talking to her, the always confident smile that gave adora her strength, and just about ANYTHING about Catra. It irked her just as much as it helped her get through the day. Really, she was glad Catra was nowhere near at the moment. Thinking about it she was more than glad, she never knew what to say, but what do you expect? 'Hey Catra! I know i completely left you but i was wondering if you'd come and join me?! Also the fact that I like you as more than a friend!.' After thinking like that she instantly knew never to say something so stupid. She knew that even if she'd fight Catra it'd hurt a lot to see her in any pain. 'Which is why i'm glad she is safe in the dark zone' Adora thought before getting out if her thoughts and heading back inside.

Once inside she saw everyone gathered in a crowd forming a circle. As she moved to the crowd she heard what the commotion was about in the first place, hate filled whispers surrounded her, "horde soldier.." "no good scum" "let her rot in prison!" After hearing what it was she pushed to the front of the crowd to see what sorry soldier was caught. She registered her voice before she actually took in what she looked like.

"Hey Adora" Catra said trying to have her usual grin on but struggled to keep as she winced in pain. Catra was held by 2 royal guards all who looked rough up for the most part and 2 more guards watched her standing close. Moving to Catra herself she in few words looked like shit. Her arms were held behind her back so tightly it look like if they went any farther they'd break, also her hands were binded together so much that even wiggling her hands would be hard to impossible. To even more of her secret despair she noticed how beat up Catra was, her clothes were ripped and she had cuts, scratchs, and bruises everywhere. All together she looked like she faught a war all on her own without stop.

Adora was about to speak when one of the royal guard stepped up to inform the queen( who she didn't even notice next to her) of what happened.

"Ma'am we were completely making sure the horde left the Whispering Woods when we found a group of horde soldiers. We engaged them not having any trouble with a few straggling Horde soldiers, until this one showed up" the soldier said obviously implying Catra, "she out almost all of us before we were able to capture her, we sadly have to also inform that the rest of the of the Horde soldiers got away in the fight." While the soldier and basically everyone around looked at her in distaste to hate, Catra had a smug and prideful grin. Catra being there herself made people angry, but that grin made people even worse to the point that they had even began advance on her. Adora was about to step in but before she could the Queen stepped in speaking to the guard, "How many are hurt?" a different guard this time, to the left of Catra spoke up "Twelve ma'am, twelve are in the medic wing as we speak." "How many went on this mission?" she asked partially hiding her shock at hearing twelve of her guards were taken down by one soldier. The guard looked at the others before answering her, "We are the only ones in decent condition" the guard said this time the Queen couldn't hide her shock and she was sure no one else could either. That would have been true if Adora didn't use to be friends with Catra sense they were kids.

'Used to' Adora thought thinking that gave Adora a bitter taste in her mouth and made her heart twist in a very painful way. She sighed loudly getting looks from the still gathered crowd. Looking around she realized that none of her friends were there, must've all gone to hang out or something' Adora thought before look at the problem at hand. All around whispers went around about what to do with Catra, most whispered to let her rot in the dungeons or to interrogate her for information or both. 'Do we even have a dungeon?' Adora thought before stopping that particular train, she didn't know if she could stomach knowing what'd be done to Catra to get information or let somone like her waste away in a dungeon. She would've spoken if the Queen hadn't first, "J-Just put her in the dungeon for now, we'll deal with this matter later." the said sighing before walking away to deal with different matters. Adora looked back to see Catra getting escorted to the dungeon, and just like that most people dispersed to do other things. 'maybe i'll find everybody to tell them about what happened' Adora thought before walking off.

Catras POV

Catra was not having a good time, first the rebels won the Battle at Bright Moon, then as they were retreating she got separated from Scorpia while trying to help some other soldiers, and finally they got attacked by more of the stupid rebels! making matters worse she was captured because she had to save the soldiers from getting captured themselves. As Catra was dragged up to the castle she flinched in pain, the guards really made a mess of her, not to mention her fight with Adora. Adora, that made her frown more than she already was. First Adora leaving her for her stupid new friends! then her stupid mixed feelings about her! she didn't know what to feel as she thought about her. On one had she was angry for her joining the rebels and on the other she was sad and bitter that Adora would leave her so easily for people she just met. She also felt this othr thing about Adora that just couldn't understand what it was.

As she walked close to Bright Moon she started to realize what awaited her there. She knew that once she got their they would probably have her rotting in a dungeon or extracting information from her. That was fine she could handle whatever happened in there and all she'd have to do was escape. What she didn't know was what to do if she ever had to interact with Adora. Sure she had talking to her already but that was only when they were fighting each other, and the time together in the First Ones place was just a big cluster fuck. Who could blame her? she literally left her for dead on the cliff while spitting lies at her! It didn't matter if she does see Adora(which she knew was very likely) she would easily just take care of it. Still, looking up at the castle she wasn't so sure if that was really true.

Eventually they did make it to the castle, as the four guards who caught her dragged her to what she assumed was the throne room she watched the other twelve beaten soldiers walk.. Err limp to most likely the infirmary, even as she was dragged she smirked proud that she was able to do so much damage. She turned her attention back just as the doors opened to the sight of a party. 'of course they are partying over the victory' she thought feeling uncomfortable as everyone stopped to stare 'guess I crashed another party' with the resigning thought she was pushed up to the throne where the Queen sat. Though on the outside the of the Queen's face showed indifference it was a different story looking at her eyes. A crowd was instantly gathered spitting hateful words as she was pushed to the ground, the was about to speak before she noticed someone get to the front of the crowd.

"Hey Adora" she said tried to grin on struggled to keep as she winced in pain. It looked like Adora would have spoke if a guard hadn't spoken first, "Ma'am we were completely making sure the horde left the Whispering Woods when we found a group of horde soldiers. We engaged them not having any trouble with a few straggling Horde soldiers, until this one showed up" the soldier said obviously implying Catra, "she out almost all of us before we were able to capture her, we sadly have to also inform that the rest of the of the Horde soldiers got away in the fight." While the soldier and basically everyone around looked at her in distaste to hate, Catra put on a smug and prideful grin. Catra being there herself made people angry, but that grin made people even worse to the point that they had even began advance on her. To her slight surprise and confusion it looked like Adora was about to step in and help her but before she could the Queen stepped in speaking to the guard, "How many are hurt?" a different guard this time, to the left of Catra spoke up "Twelve ma'am, twelve are in the medic wing as we speak." "How many went on this mission?" she asked the guard looked at the others before answering her, "We are the only ones in decent condition" the guard said this time the Queen couldn't hide her shock.

"J-Just put her in the dungeon for now, we'll deal with this matter later." the said sighing before walking away to deal with different matters. She caught Adoras still surprised filled gaze before she was roughly taken to a holding cell where she was thrown in. The thrown itself was unlike the ones in the Fright zone and instead were made out of full stone with metal bars close together and a metal door. After being thrown in she turned around to see the door slam shut locking her in. 'and the start to jail time begins, this is going to be boring' Catra thought before finding a spot to sit down and rest after the bad day she had.

Adora's pov.

After the Queen left and Catra was taken away everyone also left obviously not in the mood to dance after that. Realising she was the only one still there she left to go find where her friends went.

Eventually she found them in Glimmers room talking and hanging out, "Hey, you guys missed what happened at the party" she said interrupting all the conversations going on. Looking around she saw Glimmer on her bed, Seahawk and Bow near the window and Mermista and Perfuma at the foot of the bed. She already knew that Frosta left pretty early because she had to deal with her kingdom. After greeting beach other Bow asked, " So what did we miss at the party?" Adora sat down while answering " they captured Catra" Bow and Glimmers face showed schock but everyone else was curious "uhh whos Catra?" even if Mermista asked the question she still looked like she didn't really care. "Oh, uhm well Catra was my friend in the Horde before I left." no one noticed the way Adora flinched when she said was. Bow looked at Adora still confused " But how did she get captured I thought she already retreated to the Fright Zone?"

"Well apperantly some of the royal guards went to make she all the Horde soldiers left the Whispering Woods. At one point they saw a group of them and went to capture them. They would have had no problem but Catra interfered." Adora Said going quiet thinking about her former friend and what to do. Her thoughts were interrupted by Bow " Are you going to be okay?" Adora had look of suprise did Bow know what she was thinking about? "Yea im okay. Why wouldn't I be?" She doubted her words. Bow squirmed under Adora's gaze, seeing how things were going Glimmer clapped jer hands loudly getting everyone to look at her. " Ok im gonna turn in, it's late enough and we did a lot! Are you guys gonna stay for the night or leave tomorrow?" Glimmer said looking at the other princesses. All of them agreed to leaving tomorrow so each went to their own room.

Adora sighed, she was doing that a lot lately. Why is it that wherever she went Catra was there? Honestly she didn't know if it was a good or bad thing. She sighed again laying down on her stiff bed she stared at the ceiling. She missed Catra dearly, there was some days in the past to wake up and forget that Catra wasn't at her bed. At nights she wished things were back to normal or at the least she coud be with Cayra without also being at each others throats. She sighed once more, thinking like this just made her even more sad. With that she closed her eyes and let sleep take her.
