The Knight of Voltron

Believe me

Keith's POV

I was taken down to the dungeons and I went willingly. I didn't care much if people thought of me as the traitor, but when I saw the look in Allura's eyes. When I saw that she believed the nonsense Lance was spouting, I lost the will to fight or even defend myself.

But what I know is true. Is that those letters in Galra weren't mine. I don't even know Galra. Someone is clearly trying to set me up. I swear I'm going to find out who. 

Pidge's POV

Romelle, Allura, and I all sat in Allura's room as Allura did her best to explain what happened. From what I understand, Keith and her were talking outside their rooms when Lance, Hunk, and the other knights ambushed them. Lance and Hunk then explained the evidence they found in Keith's room and arrested him. 

However, many things don't add up. First off, I know as Keith does, his blade doesn't symbolize he's a traitor, it's a symbol of the Blade of Marmora, a faction that broke away from the Galra and strive for peace. Something no one else knows. Secondly, I doubt those letters belong to Keith, otherwise why keep them if they are drafts. Keith is the leader of the Voltron Knights for nothing. Keith isn't that stupid to keep evidence. Thirdly, and this is something to consider, when Keith and Allura thought they were being attacked, Keith defended Allura. This whole time the traitor has been helping half-galra spawn get into the palace to kill Allura. 

Keith has been beside Allura for months. He's been in this palace for years. If he wanted Allura dead, he had plenty of opportunities to kill her, but he didn't. Why? Because he's not the traitor.

"That doesn't make any sense." I told Allura. "Keith isn't that kind of person."

"The blade was his."

"Yeah, well that blade is his-" Shit! "HI-It's his but how did he come by it." I lied, "For all we know he bought it from a merchant or found it after a battle." I explained. 

"I-I guess you have a point." Allura said coming around. "But what about the letters?"

"T-Thats more complicated." I replied.

Allura sighed as she slumped in her bed. She won't admit it, but she's down because the person she trusted more than anyone, the person she cares most for, is under arrest and being charged with treason.

"Let me see what I can do." I said as I walked outside and found Griffin subbing in for Keith. "Keep an eyes on them and no matter what. Do not let anyone pass through this door unless it's me." I warned him.

"Yes ma'am." He replied.

Keith's POV

Those letters weren't mine. The blade was mine yes and I'll admit to it if Allura is willing to listen and understand. But then comes the matter of convincing Allura I didn't write those letters. And to do that, I'll need to confess. 

I went up to the cell doors as I called for the nearest guard. "I want to confess." I said, "On paper."

By the time Pidge arrived, which I was sure was bound to happen. I had written a letter to Allura confessing that the blade is mine, along with a plead for her to consider. 

"Keith, we'll get you out of here." Pidge said.

"Now is not the time for a talk." I told Pidge as I passed her the letter, "Take this to Allura, tell her to read it. Now hurry and get back to her. Do not let anyone aside from you or Griffin get near Allura, understand."

"What about Hunk and Lance?" Pidge asked. 

Hunk...Hunk was hostile about my arrest but he not too hostile. Lance however, he seemed off. Not to mention how he acted when he followed me to my room-. But he can't be. He's not smart enough. But then who- 

"Pidge, get back to Allura. Do not let anyone get close to her."

"What? Why?"

"Shapeshifting." I said, "Alteans can shapeshift. The traitor...is part Altean." I replied. "You stay with her. You do not leave her side for a second."

"Yes sir." Pidge said. 

"One more thing." I said, "Shapeshifting,"

"What?"

"Shapeshifting..."

"Alteans?"

"Shapeshifting."

"Alteans."

Shapeshifting."

"Alteans."

"Remember that. I come to you but can't answer that. It's not me." I explained.

"Got it. Just try not to dig yourself into a bigger hole."

"You know I'm going to do that." I replied as Pidge groaned as she walked back up the stairs.

Now, to bust me out of prison.
