Like a Grape (Shidge AU) [Book 1]

Chapter Three

Through the comm, Shiro heard a loud thump, scaring him a little. What was happening to Pidge? How many Galra were fighting her?

"Pidge?" He called. "Are you okay?"

"Shiro! There are too many! We have to leave soon!" Hunk saw blasting a group of robots and droids.

"Not without Pidge!" Shiro said. His hand was growing bright with more fear he had. With not response from Pidge, Shiro began to fear for her well being.

"Pidge! Where are you?!" Shiro said sternly yet his voice shaking. "I think Pidge may be in danger guys!"

His hand light in his hand grew furiously as he took out a couple dozen Galra solders. Trying to get his way through, so he could help Pidge, but had no avail. It was as if all the Galra army was put in their location.

"Look Shiro! We have to go!" Hunk said even though he was not keen to leaving his best friend behind.

"NOT WITHOUT PIDGE!" Shiro yelled while being thrown back by the blow of one of the Galra's guns.

Hunk ran over to Shiro and defended him as Shiro got back onto his two feet. "They are too strong! Shiro we will be risking our lives if we keep going!"

"WE WILL BE RISKING PIDGE'S IF WE GO!" Shiro yelled as he charged into the Galra taking out a few solders.

"SHIRO! SHE MAY ALREADY BE SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED AND THERE IS PROBABLY NOTHING WE CAN DO ABOUT IT!" Hunk yelled.

Shiro froze. He didn't liked that thought. But before he could think any farther, he received a quick blow to the head knocking him out.

Immediately, Hunk blasted any Galra near Shiro as he picked his leader up and took him into his lion. Quickly, he left the Galra ship and contacted his other comrades.

"Guys? I need you to prepare a healing pod!"

"Why would you leave Pidge!?" Keith yelled at Hunk. His being radiating more anger than when Lance read his journal.

"I didn't want to! But what was I suppose to do?!" Hunk said folding his arms. "The Galra kept coming and Shiro was knocked out cold!"

"Let's not blame Hunk!" Allura stepped in. "He did what he thought was best!"

"Well, because he did what he thought was best, Pidge is probably dead!" Keith shot back.

"Well would you rather have Hunk, Shiro, and Pidge dead?!" Allura stated. "Than would you be satisfied?!"

"No!" Keith spat, but than could let out another response. He didn't know what he wanted. He just didn't want Pidge to be gone, capture, and probably killed.

"Than what do you want!?" Allura asked.

Keith head lowered as he stared at his feet. "I am going to my room..." He muttered under his breath and he walked away to his room.

Allura sighed as she said to Hunk and Lance. "He should be out in any tick."

Shiro was doing fine physically. According to the castle, all he suffered were mild burns and abrasions to his sides and his shoulders, and a bruise on his head. Nothing major.

But she honestly worried about his emotional state. She knew he cared about Pidge deeply. They were childhood friends, or for what she was told. She at least knew that Shiro and Pidge's twin brother was best friends at least. Maybe Shiro felt this need to protect her because of what happened to Matt.
