Hey guys! This prompt was suggested by Lula5208. Can't remember the exact wording but it was something like "lance has a nightmare and the team comfort him" or something. So here ya go :D

Lance held his bayard out protectively in front of him, looking down the barrel as he aimed at the ugly monster blocking his path. The creature had yet to face him, its slate-coloured fur being all Lance could see.

The creature shifted to the side, and Lance gasped as his family came into view, faces and bodies morphing into each other. His papa became Pidge, who became his mother, who became Hunk. All five of the chained prisoners in front of him switched between those he loved.

The monster's teeth glinted in the shadows, watching Lance, waiting for a moment to strike.

Coran morphed into Lance's niece as he watched, tears of anguish streaming down her— no, his face- It was his older brother now.

He watched as his mama shrunk, face fading in to that of Keith's, staring deep into his soul.

The monster growled, lashing out at the prisoner closest to it. Shiro- no, his tía. Claws tore through clothes, hair, skin. It was only a matter of seconds before the monster came at his next prey.

Lance tried to scream, but no sound came out as he was forced to watch in horror as the hunkering monster murdered his family, one by one. They stopped flickering as they fell, bodies hidden in shadows so Lance was not sure who it was anymore.

The monster retreated into the darkness once more, claws scratching into the ground as it backed away.

Only his sister Leonie remained behind. Of all the people in Lance's big family, it had to be his oldest sister. It wasn't fair that she was the last.

"I thought you loved us, Lance," she said, tears trailing down her cheeks. She couldn't reach her hands up to her face to wipe them away, letting them fall. Leonie turned away from Lance, unable to hide a sob.

"I do!" Lance cried, hands shaking. His grip was tight on his bayard, but he wasn't able to aim through his tears. "I do, I swear I do!"

Lance stretched out a hand, begging silently for forgiveness. She stared at him horrified, curling away from him. "I thought you loved us," she repeated, voice no louder than a whisper. "How could you let this happen to us?"

The monster howled, leaping forwards once more, claws outstretched and fangs bared. Lance could do nothing as he watched as his sister be killed, his darling sister.

The monster turned to face Lance, the dull thud of Leonie's body sounding from behind its form. It glowered at him for an instant, stalking forwards.

Lance tried to aim at the monster's heart, hands shaking and heart pounding too much to do any good. It continued forwards, stepping faster and faster as it closed in on him.

All at once, it leaped into the air, leading with its claws aimed directly at Lance's chest.

Unable to do anything, Lance stood, staring. Deep down, he felt as if he deserved this- the same fate as his family. A darkness was locked away beneath his heart, a darkness that welcomed death.

Lance closed his eyes, knowing that the monster's fangs were going to be the last thing he ever saw.

A chain clashed, followed by the sound of claws on stone, not flesh.

Lance cracked open one eye, trying to process why he wasn't dead.

The monster was shackled to the wall, stopping just short of reaching him. If Lance took a single step forwards, he would be torn to shreds.
