The Sword, Part 2. (#3 Rebel Swap AU)

“We have to find a way to get inside”, says Sparkles.

“Guys, he's coming. Hurry up!”, shouts the boy.

“Wait, I can read this, it says: Eternia!”, I yell pushing all of my body against the wall of the tall building we found in the middle of the forest, apparently it works because they move wide open. I finally get inside. “Come one!, are you waiting to be eaten today?” They both look at each other, is the beast or me, right now I´m the lesser of two evils, I think. The door closes right behind us and the beast is left outside, well, now I have many problems, but a giant spider who activated the sword and turned me into a princess ain't one. 

Sparkles pushes a bright circle from her hand to light up the tall hall we're in. Right, sometimes I forget she's a princess...like me, wait that must be it. I take her by the collar and shout, “What did you do to me?”, she looks up to me but pushes me aside “What do you mean what did I do to you? We're trapped here because of you!”, she doesn't stutter, she's not afraid of me. Sure, I must have scared her before when I became a two meters tall warrior, but now i´m just a Horde um, not a soldier, I'm not that yet, maybe I am a Horde scum afterall. “This doesn't make any sense, when I touched the sword, I, I became a…  one of you. Monsters!” My claws quickly unfold from my fingers, waiting for her response. 

“We? We are the monsters? You´re from the Horde! Because of your people we have lost our own, how can you even compare to us! You have destroyed our lives!”, She has tears on her eyes as she yells her lungs out and the echo of her voice gets stuck in the walls. I take a couple of steps behind, the fury boils on my throat as I cry out: “At least you have a life to lose!”. I realized my tail is bristled from my emotions, I quickly brush my hands around it, they are shaking, I hid them behind my back, not before I take the tears of my eyes too. They both look at me shocked, she shakes her head and turns to him.

“Come on, Bow! We have to find a way out of here, we have to take the sword and her to my mom, she will know what to do”. She continues her way through the hall, I could have easily remained here, but I can't get back now, I need the sword, I need answers. “What do you mean you're the one taking the sword? I found it!”, I rush to her and take it from her hands. She's about to shoot one of her sparkly bombs towards me, but the boy stops her. “Glimmer no! You're gonna run out of power, we´re too far from the castle, you can't recharge here”. I take the sword behind my back. “Ha! I always knew princesses were pathetic, but having to recharge your powers? Just wait till I tell Adora, she´s gonna love it”. I lay on the wall near me. “Well, she doesn't have to do so anymore once she becomes queen” comments the boy. Huh, so I was right afterall. Maybe I did learn something back at the lessons, interesting. “Bow! you can't say that kind of stuff in front of her, as far as we are concerned this is all a trap so she can get information out of us”, that makes me laugh.

“Pardon my manners, princess, but the last thing I would want to do right now would be to be stuck with you, idiots” I say moving forwards, away from them. She appears out of nowhere in front of me and takes the sword back. “Fine, once we get out of here you can leave, but I am taking the sword”. She disappears a couple of meters ahead, just to crash against the boy who doesn't seem pleased by her using her powers. “What did I just tell you? Why can't you listen? I'm taking the sword while we decide what we are going to do with it”. She walks ahead pulling her legs against the ground and guiding the way with her light “Fine! But my moms is going to kill me if I return with my hands empty, have you forgotten I'm still grounded?” I would have laughed at that if I didn't know that my faith would be much worse if I return with my hands empty. He puts his hand on his forehead and slowly scrubs it down his face. I get beside him in no time, I'm pulling my hands crossed in front of my chest to stop myself from taking the sword again, if I'm stuck with them I can't keep fighting over it, as soon as we are out of here I'm going to steal it and run away. “So… since it looks like we are going to be here awhile, why don't you tell me something about yourself?”, his words wake me from my thoughts, wait, does he really think I'm going to be friends with them? A hiss and a look is enough to communicate my intentions. “So no talking, huh? Well, then I'll do it. I'm Bow, and this is Glimmer, princess of…”
