'' no .. no no " everything was shaking around them and keith blinked dazed into the air once lance appeared in front of his vision pulling him up and into his arm.

Pidge also fell to her knees besides him. She wore her armour and keith assumed the noise and the shaking of the grounds were caused by her since she hadnt been caught like the others.

At least, he thought, they would not be captured then. " hey hey look at me " lance repeated. he was crying and cupping his face. There was blood on his chin smeared from his hands, he was yelling other things to other peopl and his hands kept moving from his stomach back to hus cheeks.

Keith blinked, exhaling harshly. He was starting to feel tired and all he could think of was the life he'd lived so far.

From still believing he was just imagening that everyone gathered around him with devastated and sad expression. From still believing that in reality if the place was crushing down they would run away without a second thought.

It was that point hed reached where he truly felt like dying would be the only way out. Because anything else than what was happening right now and he told himself There was no other way, nothing left nothing of him or for him but the worthless remains of what life had put him through.

Yet he was scared. The wounded spot was pounding, reminding him of what hed doen and he struggled focusing his vision on lance in front of him. It was getting hard to see and breath and reality dawned on him. He was going to leave, he didnt know what was going to happen now. Would he just fade, was theres soemthing like heaven would he slip into a pleasent dream or another nightmare. But it wouldnt be here and he would never be able to come back. He would never be able to see them, kosmo or anyone else because he would be gone.

Lance moved with him in his arms stoll, voice louder and angry. He wasnt sure if it wad directed at him but it made him tear up more nonethelessm

'' i-im .. i-m s-sorry... " he chocked out, liquid in his mouth and he swallowed it thickly trying to breath but not being able to get the air he needed.

it became harder to breath. More footsteps appeared, yelling appeared as allura stood up from the circle around him and keith was starting to panic, he couldnt see what was happening and all of a sudden all he felt was fear. He had no strength to hold back onto lance and as he realized he, he started fearing for what was about to happen and he cried in panic, in pain. He didnt want to leave, he just wanted things to change.

Lance was crying aswell pressing his hands to Keith's stomach while he hugged him close but everyone disappeard from sight as they started yelling with some other people.

If he had to go, Even if it wasnt real. Keith felt like it was at least a good imagination to slip away with. Hed always loved lance in a way he hadnt loved anyone else before. In a way that he felt like he didnt deserve him, even now he felt pathetic to want to cling to him and ask him for help. He'd done the deed but he was too much of a coward to go through with it, clinging to consciousness and air that he needed to breath and keep living. Pathetic.

But Then he was pulled away from Lance's arms, up into the arms of a stranger. '' you will not be touching him ! Follow me quietly understand !"
He was strict. His voice deep but keith didnt have the strength to look up at who was carrying him. He could only tell he had big arms. He was a tall person. The sound of something clicking made him twitch as it suddenly felt cold around the spot he had stabbed himself on. Something was being placed over it numbing it but also holding the wound close with cold pressure

And as the started running he could hear him give out orders now and then.

He opened his eyes again halfway after a while of just running and orders aswell as sounds of guns being fired and things exploding when he was leaned over,

It was staring to hurt a lot more then before. He could feel himself sweating at the agony kicking in as he started trembling. '' it's alright kit. Almost there.. I'll protect you from now on,..."

Kit
What did that mean ?

It sounded.. comforting, a smell resonated off the body that carried him all of a sudden and it made him relax at how soothing it was.

Before he knew it he had closed his eyes completely, this time drifting off into a deeper sleep where he didnt notice the noises around him.

Until he was being placed onto a soft surface, he opened his eyes lightly again but still he couldnt make out anything. Only a bigger hand stroking over his forehead, something was tightly wrapped around his stomach now. He could feel it with every breath he took and now as the hand disappeared he'd noticed something else was strapped on him covering his nose and mouth, making it easier to inhale air.

'' you're save here, sleep for now "
The voice comforted again and he closed his eyes again. Even when he was feeling scared of bad things happening if he gave in, he couldnt stop himself. The fabric beneath him was soft and he heard the engine of a ship start up. Distant voice communicate as he drifted off.

The next time keith woke, he felt heavy. Tingling numb feelings traveling up his arms and down his legs as he inhaled.

It was hard to focus on things, his vision was swimming and he could feel his eyes hurting with everytime he blinked. A sound of a machine appeared everytime he inhaled to exhale and he noticed it was because he still had a mask fixed over his nose and mouth most likely being the cause of the machines noises and the fact that it felt easier to get the air

But even with the help, his breath was shaking and he felt like he just wanted to cry all over again, he was alive and he wasnt sure how to feel about it. His chest was tight, his stomach twisted. He felt sick and something heavy close to guilt weight in the pit of his stomach as he turned his head to realize he'd been placed on a grey bed in a grey room, he couldnt recognize it he was cold and his body started hurting worse.

Panic flooded his mind, maybe lotor had taken him again and all this was just a sick joke, he would burst in and he would be punished for staying in that bed. He would be hurt again.
He trembled at the thought, biting through the pain as he tried to move only to realize how hard and agonizing it felt.

A sob escaped him at last as he forced his body to sit up. head pounding, drenched in sweat he tried to breath calmer as his vision would fade in and out of black, arms knitting and barely able to support what little weight he put on them as he lifted his knees under the blanket in desperation. He needed to get out of that bed.
Before anyone caught him.

Still shaking, keith lifted his hands then to remove the mask fixed on his nose and mouth with a string ariund the back of his head.
mindlessly he moved his legs next to hang over the edge of the bed, every movement left hum feeling more sick than before and as he pushed himself to stand, his ankle twisted and hid knees failed to work with him.

Keith collapsed to the ground. The World went dark for a split second and keith nearly chocked trying hard to breath big and cut off breaths of both exhaustion and agony.

Still he pushed against the ground, attempting to crawl forward now as he noticed there had been tubes stuck in the back of his hand and he pulled on them sloppily getting them out and sway so he could continue his attempts to get to the door 

But before he could reach it for the handle, pushing himself up and ready for it. The door had opened causing him to flinch.

'' hey !" The stranger exclaimed surprised and as keith was about to collapse again the stranger had flinched closer to steady him. Moving closer and pulling keith closer aswell, forcing him off his knees and to lean against the bigger body now.

Instantly he recognized those purple shades and He gasped, flinching as he pushed against the person to no use only causing himself more pain.

'' d-dont.. please" his voice shock horrible. weak and hoarse as the stranger carefully got down with him not wanting to strain the boy more as he broke out in tears  "lance.. where ?"
