Hey, so I know people are reading this because of the traffic stats, but I appreciate a review every once in a while. It makes the writing go faster when I know people are enjoying it.
"Oh my head," I sat up in the luxurious bed. "Where's Catra?" I grumbled. I hadn't been this hung over since she dragged me out for my birthday. I kind of toppled sideways on the bed, my head just hanging off the edge, where I saw a pair of boots. I then followed them up to a pair of legs. Man at Arms was standing next to the bed a blaster gun pointed at me. I looked around it was just us. "Where's Adam?" I asked.
"Getting yelled at by Teela," He chuckled and lowered the gun.
"Oh," It was then I remembered what I had done. "I don't suppose there's a way to avoid all this?" I asked gripping the sheets.
"No. I've been thinking it over for the last hour,"
"How much trouble am I in?" I groaned dreading it. I would probably be stripped of my status as princess and be thrown in jail.
"Well the king expunged She-Ra, because she killed a murderer, and well he's very confused about Adora. I think she just owes them and explanation,"
I didn't know how to respond thankfully there was a knock at the door, Adam entered he had a fat lip.
"What happened?" Man at Arms looked shocked.
"I tried to kiss Teela and she punched me," Adam replied touching his lip.
Man at Arms laughed a good hearty laugh, "Sorry Adam, but that's my girl,"
"Ya well she's got a good punch," Adam sat down on the bed and placed his hand on my forehead, "How you feeling sis?"
"Better," I pushed his large hand off.
"I guess you two both have some explaining to do," Man at Arms said.
"I know Duncan, but I wasn't supposed to tell mother or father,"
"Well Skeleor's dead maybe it's time to change that," Duncan said.
"What will the Sorceress say?"
"Never mind that Adam,"
"Adam?" I asked a thought occurring to me, "Did you actually transform in front of Teela?"
"No why?" He replied.
"Well she's not going to believe you otherwise so I suggest you do, then duck really fast," I thought about it, "I didn't have that problem, I just had Bow apologizing for pretending to know She-Ra,"
"Hey!" Came a voice from outside the door, Teela rushed in, she jabbed a finger to Adam's throat, "Who the hell do you think you are? You can't get off with a lie like that," Adam stood up and took a step back.
"Teela, He-Man's twin is She-Ra. Adora is She-Ra, thus Adam is He-Man," Duncan said gently.
"No it can't be true,"
Both Duncan and I nodded. Adam merely sighed and reached for his sword. There was a flash of light as Adam transformed. Then a loud smack as Teela punched him in the jaw. She stormed out once again.
"That's going to take some getting used to," He-Man laughed, rubbing his jaw.
"You forgot to duck," I laughed feeling more and more like myself.
"I guess so,"
"Come on we should leave Adora to rest," Duncan said.
I immediately got up as soon as they shut the door. The last thing I wanted was rest, I made my way into the bathroom and filled the sink up with water. I looked at my face in the mirror, I looked rough I looked like I fought the Etherian war all by myself.
"Not all by your self," A voice came from below I looked down and screamed, She-Ra's face was staring up at me from the filled sink. I on instinct punched straight down, hurting my fist of the bottom. The water ripped for a few seconds before clearing up. She was still there.
"What do you want?" I asked.
She smiled up at me, "I'm sorry I had to eliminate the threats, otherwise this war would have gone on for twenty years. What's better a few lives now or thousands later?" I pulled the plug draining the sink. I thought I had seen the last of her when she appeared in the mirror. I knew I couldn't punch this, I grabbed the closest object I could find and smashed the mirror, more She-Ra's appeared in the sections of the shattered glass.
"Die!" I kept hitting the mirror, I would never forgive her for what she made me do. I suddenly knew that I hadn't stopped at Skeletor , I knew that if they looked in Snake mountain they would find the bodies of all his henchmen that I had killed them all with my own hands. Soon even the mirror was too broken and she flickered from sight. I dropped to my knees cutting myself on some glass, this couldn't be happening. I kept running my hands over my face, though my hair as I let everything sink in.
I heard a distant knock, and then the door to the room opened, "Adora I have a surprise for you!" Adam called. I heard the shuffling of feet he wasn't alone. Soon the men pushed the bathroom door open, I was still on the floor, my hands now bleeding as well. Somebody picked me up, and pulled me though the doorway.
"Shit! Look at that! I mean she's pregnant too well we think," Bow said. He began to dust the glass from me, I didn't feel it I just kept thinking it over and over and over. Their screams as I strangled them or cut their throats. I fell to my knees and vomited onto the floor.
Bow was hugging me tightly, Adam had no idea what to do, "What's wrong?" Bow asked.
"Sir," A guard stormed into the room, "The rest of Skeletors team has been murdered," I started to cry harder.
"It's OK, remember all the bad stuff the horde did?" Bow prompted. "They did the exact same things, you saved a lot of people," Bow continued to hold me while I mourned all the people I had killed.
"She-Ra- made- me- do- it," I managed to spit out after several minutes. I was clutching my soiled hands to my heart.
"You've save so many people as She-Ra, please overlook a few criminals," Bow said still squeezing. Then "She made you? Listen I've never know She-Ra to be viscous or unjust, she must have know how much suffering they were causing. Maybe she just needed to do that so she could... make sure the world was safe,"
I stopped crying, "Maybe," I started to struggle against him and got to my feet. My parents were now at the door, "I'd like you to meet Bow, my husband,"
