Voltron Legendary Defender: The Seven sins

Chapter 3: Past/Green

She Clung to him tightly as he ran. Sweat running down his face. A worried expression plastered upon it. His body was tense she could feel. He didn't want to leave her. This Pidge obviously meant a lot to him. She turned her head slightly to look at the alien who was running along side them. He looked intimidating but Keith seemed to trust him as well. If looks could deceive, it was certainly true to this man. He was tall and heavily built. His skin was more like fur and it was a light purple with some darker purple on his face. Some smaller parts on his face were red and seemed to act like head hair or eye brows. He also had a large scar over his right eye. What head hair he did have trailed down his back in a light purple braid. His ears, if one could call them that, fanned out sort of like fins on a fish. He looked to her slightly and gave a slight and sad smile.

She had seen his like before, but it was many years ago. Keith had left the orphanage and had joined the Galaxy Garrison. She was so proud of him. It took a lot of convincing from her and a man named Shiro to get him to join. She knew he would be better off. He was talented and piloting and she also hoped the Garrison could help with his anger. It wasn't long after he left that she was sent off. Sold into the black market to pay off some of the homes debts. Her life was hell after that. She was bought by an underground brothel and forced to serve perverted and disgusting men. She had lost her virginity at a young age of ten. Some men liked the younger ones and she was cute. It would be many years before she saw the surface world again.

She was sold yet again. This time to a higher up in the military as a maid. Not only did she have the duties of a maid but she still also played the role of this mans play thing. She wasn't paid of course, and she was forced to wear the most ridiculous maid outfit. It wasn't even like the other maids.

"You're not like them." The man often told her. It was made abundantly clear daily as she was tied up and whipped then raped. She was forced to do many things like entertain the mans guests as well or to service him while he was on a phone call. She didn't even have her own room. Nor, did she sleep with the other maids. She had a small cell that locked from the outside and could only be opened from the outside. Most nights she spent in his bed. All that came to an end within a year though.

They came in the dead of night. She couldnt see them, but she heard them. Those spoke a language she couldnt recognize. Their forms obscure in the darkness but they moved quick. Her owner was asleep next to her. she moved to wake him but quickly remembered that she was chained to his bed. She was also unable to speak as she had a ball gag in her mouth. She was an absolute mess as she had been crying from the most recent rape and torture session she received. Her whole body ached. Sweat rolled down her naked body and tears streamed down her cheeks. This was a normal thing for her. She often fought hard to keep her screams and tears in check. It never worked as he always found new things to try.

She wriggled and struggled against her bindings trying to wake him as the figures entered the room. They were tall and thin. They were cloaks that covered their entire bodies and wore pointed masks that hid their faces. One stood at the edge of the bed while another went to her owners side.

"Do you wish to be freed from this life?" the one at the end of the bed spoke in English. She could only nod. Maybe these people were here to save her. Did Keith send them? She thought of him often. Was he there? Oh, she had hoped he was there. But no, she realized quickly they werent there to really save her at all.

The hooded figure which stood at the side of the bed simply raised his hand. Something black and red erupted from his hand and her owner let out a blood curdling scream before his body writhed in pain then lay still now dead. Lindseys eyes widened and began to fill with tears as she knew she had to be next. She welcomed the sweet release that was going to be her death. Instead, however, the one from the bottom of the bed moved quickly to her almost as if he was gliding on the floor and not walking. He outstretched his hand. Long skinny fingers reaching towards her gag and undoing it. She gasped for air and coughed. He quickly undid her bindings and held out his hand to her gently.

"Come..." was all he said.

She shook her head as her thoughts came back to the present. Keith had gently placed her down as the doors to the hanger opened. His eyes narrowed. Pidge did it. She had released the ship from its lock down. Keith looked at Lindsey a saddened look on his face. He grabbed her hand and led her to the shuttle he came in. Kolivan jogged to his own. Keith opened the shuttle door and led her in quickly. His face was torn with worry and panic. He wanted desperately to go back for his friend. There just wasnt enough time. The shuttle door auto closed behind them as he sat in the pilots seat. He only gestured her to sit in the copilot seat. Keith looked quickly at the third shuttle that was there. He looked down and powered up the shuttle.

"Keith... your friend..." Lindsey started to say as she turned to get up from the seat.

"No time..." he simply stated, the pain in his voice making it scratchy. He gently pushed her back and quickly secured the safety harness on hers before doing his own. Lindsey went to say something but he shook his head and pressed something on the console as the bay doors began to open into space.

SPACE!? THEY WERE IN SPACE!? Her eyes widened. She thought they were on a boat or something but SPACE!? She closed her eyes tightly. Now wasnt the time to freak out. The shuttle took off with Kolivan in his own, close behind. Keith sped up the shuttle tears trickling down his cheeks. He flew some distance and stopped. He then turned the shuttle towards the battle cruiser. Lindsey couldnt believe her eyes. This alien ship was HUGE!! Why didnt she remember anything from after that night?

"Come on Pidge..." Keith whispered. Lindseys thoughts snapped back to Keith. He stared intently at the ship. Something shining caught her eye.

"What's that?" she asked pointing to the object. It was flying incredibly quickly towards the large ship. It wasnt big. But it was still bigger than their shuttle. It flew into the hanger where they had just come from.

"Are they crazy!? Its about to explode!" Lindsey cried out. Keith's eyes were widened and held disbelief. No way it couldnt be! He held his breath. Could it be? She did summon her Bayard earlier after all... was it possible!? The ship exploded. Something burst out from the explosion. Something Green.
