Sleepless Nights

Rated T for teen.

I don't own He-man, She-ra or any of the other characters.

Adora's been having nightmare's for awhile. Each time they get progressively worst. Are they only dreams or are they a warning of things to come?? (a/n Adora and Adam are 16/17 in this fic.)

I couldn't help but feel as if something was wrong. Call it what ever but it didn't feel right. The girl who was doing my hair chattered away as if i wasn't the king's daughter. I was grateful for that, someone who wouldn't bow down to me or pretend to be my friend and then they say things about me behind my back.

It still felt weird that i was in a dress. One that was worth way more then my life was worth at that. Father and Mother had wanted me to look presentable seeing how this is the first speech that i was going to be present at. Adam had said that our purpose there was to make sure that people saw us backing Father.

"There.. Finished." With a small smile the person raised the mirror to my face so i could see what she had done. My hair was up in a lose bun with two curled strands framing my face .

"Wow.. It looks great." I smiled at her and the girl smiled. She could not be much older then me.

"Thank you my lady." With a bow she left the room.

I sighed and went to find my brother. I found him with Teela and Man at arms. This was not a big shock because they were always together. I knew how much the two cared about each other. I hate to admit it but sometimes i wish Adam had been taken instead of me. It was a selfish wish i know but i couldn't help it.

I quickly turned away from them because i didn't want them to see me so upset. I had never been able to hide my true feelings from my brother very well. Today wasn't any different. As i rounded the corner hoping i hadn't been seen i felt a hand on my shoulder.

"Adora? Why didn't you come over when you saw Teela and me?" His voice held concern and i couldn't take it. After what i had just thought about him and he was still worried about me.

"I didn't want to bother you guys." Even to myself the excuse sounded so lame. I could feel the tears that were threatening to fall.

"Adora.." He grabbed my hand and spun me around. His eyes held concern and i couldn't take it, i broke down.

"What's wrong?" His face was neutral but i know he was fighting back anger.

"Nothing.. I was lost in though and didn't see you." It was part of the truth. I was in thought...just not the type of thought that i was going to tell him about. Adam still stared at me but he dropped the fact. He gave me a look that said We'll talk about this later. I was glad because that was when Father came and told us the speech was about to start.

Once we were out there, father and i on the right side and Adam and mother on the left. It felt a little weird being next to father and not Adam how i had thought it would be.

"My loyal subjects" The people settled down when father began. " I have been thinking about what will happen to the kingdom when i die. It has been a long thought process but it has been decided that Adam and Adora will rule the kingdom as High king and queen. They will rule as siblings. When they marry there spouses will become a lower king and queen."

I could see the peoples faces drop. Some of them were very angry, one person even called out " She is not our princess, she is some one that you took in." There was some agreement and it hurt. I wasn't going to let that show but it still hurt.

"How dare you speak about my sister like that! You all know that she was born here!" I could always count on Adam.

"I believe that the princess will be our down fall. I say we get rid of her now." A older lady spoke and then she had thrown something. I could see the red ball coming toward us. It was one of the weapons i had used when i was under the hordes control.

Time seemed to slow down as i pushed my father out of the way.

"Adora!!" I could feel the balls magic send me flying backwards into the wall. I couldn't move and i couldn't breath. The lady who through the weapon reviled herself to be Evil-Lynn. Man at arms was bring my parents into the castle while Teela was trying to get Adam to go with her.

"I am not leaving my sister..." He ran over to me. I could feel him gently touch my face and wisper promises of revenge to me. I tried hard to focus but i couldn't. The darkness took over and i knew nothing more.
