She hoisted the net over her shoulder and made her way from the whispering woods and into a large hover board. There I was transported into a small cage but I did my best to try and claw my way out; it only ended in tears. I heard the stomping of feet in the distance and I backed up against the cage as the large woman bent over to take a look at me.
"What should we name it Catra?" She asked excited.
"You can name it after Lord Hordak decides what he wants to do with it but till then just make sure it doesn't escape." Catra hissed.
"Ok." She said turning to me again. "Do you have a name?"
I opened my mouth to growl at her but instead a high pitched "meow" fell from my mouth. Immediately the large scorpion's eyes widened with excitement as she pulled the cage closer to her face.
"She's so cute, l love her!" Scorpia squealed.
Momentarily we arrived in a place called the fright zone where the two commanders brought me to a dark room surrounded by nothing but blackness. I began to whine but Catra quietened me down as a dark shadow shifted pass the room.
"Force Captains, what do I owe the pleasure?" The hoarse voice said.
"Lord Hordak, we found something in the woods; the last of a generation, one from the line of the panthera." Catra explained.
"We don't know what do with him, but I really really really want to keep him!" Scorpia said.
"It's a girl, and yes last of a generation." The man said.
He pressed his bony finger against the middle of my forehead and pulled one of the many little hairs. He threw it into a portal made out of green goo and I watched as my many memories flashed back before my own eyes.
It had been a long time since I had seen some of those in my memories; my next door neighbour, my grandma Anne and my mother Theodora. My mother looked beautiful, golden with black patches running down her body and curled around her tail. My eyes fixed on her face as they watched my mother run around, chase me and stroke my fur as I got hurt. I remembered her blue and violet coloured eyes as she made sure I was ok from each stumble I took.
"I love you princess Parker." Her voice echoed.
Immediately the portal closed and Lord Hordak turned to me with a smile on his face. He crouched down and unlocked the cage waiting for me to get out. Slowly I did and I sat down looking up at him. He picked me up and held my upper body as he carried me to another room. There a woman sat on the floor breathing shakily as Hordak entered the room.
"Shadow Weaver, one last task for you. Erase her memory." Hordak demanded.
"Princess Parker, I thought you burnt in that village with your mother." She hissed.
"Meow." I said confused.
"What happened to your speech? I used to remember your little comments during the queens speeches." She said.
"Do it Shadow Weaver! We don't have time for this!" Hordak ordered.
I was handed with much struggle over to Shadow Weaver who held me in her arms tightly. I looked around to evade eye contact with the being but then I felt something pulling on my conscious. The memories began leaving me and soon I couldn't understand anything. I turned around to face everyone surrounding me and I didn't know who they were but the cat woman standing in the corner felt slightly familiar to me.
"Force Captain Catra and Scorpia, bring the little one to the bunks and you Catra, come back to me." He ordered.
I was handed over to the one named Catra and we were all dismissed. Whilst the two caught up behind me, I leapt from patch to patch until we finally reached a door. They opened the door and I sat on the ground unsure of what to do.
"Get in Parker." Scorpia said.
It smelled like old socks in there and I stepped back after taking a good whiff.
"Come on kid, I gotta go." Catra moaned.
I looked back at them both and slowly crept into the room. My ears lowered as I cautiously made my way over to the end bunk and curled up into a ball. After a while I couldn't handle sleeping in that cold room so I scratched at the door meowing. Finally it opened up only to reveal Scorpia dressed in her night gown and night cap. I tilted my head and let out a high pitched meow in order for her to fall at my cuteness.
"Awww, Parker, are you scared?" Scorpia asked.
She saw me tremble and lifted me up from the ground.
"Are you cold?" Scorpia asked. "Come here."
For a few seconds I felt warm against Scorpia and her large claws but then we both turned to see Catra marched down the hallway looking real mad.
"Catra, Parker's cold. Do we have an extra blanket?" Scorpia asked.
"Give her to me, she doesn't look that sleepy anyway." Catra demanded.
Immediately Scorpia handed me over to Catra and I felt a warmth I had never encountered before. I closed my eyes as we walked down the long corridor into a brightly lit room.
"I didn't know you had a child Catra! What are the odds?" A familiar voice echoed.
"She's not mine Entrapta! You saw her on your robot monitor." Catra hissed.
"Ah yes, the last panthera. Did you and Scorpia give her a name yet?" Entrapta asked.
"Parker is her name...that was the last of her memories anyway." Catra explained.
"Princess Parker?" Entrapta suddenly said.
Now I wasn't too sure as to why she was referring to me as a 'princess' but as soon as she did, Catra covered my ears. I heard muffled speaking and became uninterested in the conversation so I released myself from Catra's arms and went exploring in the lab.
"Please be careful little Parker, you might scare Emily." Entrapta warned.
We came face to face. The robot and I looked into each other's eyes confused at one another. It scanned me and I bounced back with a squeal. I sprinted behind Catra and hissed at the bot.
"Kids are so...great." Catra hesitated.
I meowed at her and she pet me repeatedly until I stopped. The bot began crawling forwards and immediately I held onto her legs frightened.
"Entrapta, can you please?" Catra said.
"Can I please what?" Entrapta asked with an enthusiastic smile.
"Get rid of Emily." Catra hissed.
We watched as Emily was escorted into a separate area. Entrapta came over to us and placed me on a glowing table.
"What can you tell me?" Catra asked.
"She's healthy, very healthy. According to my research, the panthera race usually unlock their powers at a young age and Parker is probably six years old. She should've already unlocked her powers but it's not showing." Entrapta explained.
"What powers?" Catra questioned.
"Camouflage, increased durability and stamina, night vision and max attacking power." Entrapta explained.
"Can we test it?" Catra asked.
"I think you should teach her English and maybe train her before we get into this." Entrapta said.
She rolled her eyes at Entrapta and took my hand as we walked down the hallway.
"Kid, you can speak now. You don't have to hide anymore." Catra whispered.
I looked up at her confused and we carried on walking till we reached the bunks. She lay on her bed and turned her head to face a chalk drawing that had several scratches on it. I jumped over and took a look at it.
"She was my best friend but she left me for those stupid princesses." Catra said.
As she told me the long history of her and this Adora, I settled onto the floor beside her and closed my eyes. She soon stopped noticing that I had fallen asleep and covered me up using her own blanket.
