Chapter Text
WHAT.
THE.
FUCK.
Catra’s eyes widened as she realized where she was - Brightmoon. An ear twitch, a tail flick, all subtle signs of nervousness she knew Adora could pick up on. At least Adora’s new.. Friends, couldn’t. God, she hated calling them that, but she had to now, didn’t she? Whatever. It didn’t matter. She would always be #1 in Adora’s mind, right? Adora wouldn’t- she couldn’t replace her.
“Brightmoon?!” Catra spoke a tad too loud, her voice breaking. Adora looked nervous too, but she was obviously excited. The boy she now knew as Bow shook Glimmer awake, gently informing her that they were there. She had slept on the way here, for whatever reason.
Bow was such a stupid name. So was Glimmer. What is up with these people?
The rest of the group seemingly ignored Catra - though she did receive a glare from Glimmer, but that could have been unrelated. Well then, Catra would just ignore them, too.
She investigated the surrounding area, lightly sniffing nearby plants. Her tail flicked when a leaf touched her nose, and her hair spiked up ever-so-slightly. She heard Adora snickering behind her, and she turned around, scowling.
“What?” Catra asked, annoyed.
“Nothing,” Adora smiled, trying not to laugh at her cat companion. Catra crossed her arms and huffed. “Anyway- Bow is gonna take us around ‘the back way’,” She gestured for Catra to follow as she turned. Catra nodded and followed, her tail lashing back and forth lightly.
The ensuing walk over was quiet for Catra - Adora and Bow talked most of the way there, and Catra took to ignoring them to avoid how lonely it made her feel. She’d be lying if she said she didn’t feel even the smallest amount replaced. Then again, lying wasn’t a new thing for Catra.
She knew she was probably being ridiculous, but that didn’t stop her from feeling tossed aside. Knowing it most likely wasn’t true didn’t get rid of the tightness in her chest, or the stinging in her eyes.
Whatever. It was fine.
Upon reaching ‘the back way’, Catra quickly realized they were going to be climbing up to Glimmer’s window.
