Capture Of A Paladin

Lance isn't himself.

The next morning everyone is at the mess hall except Shiro, Lance, and Pidge. Shiro was in one of the pods to recover sometime this morning.

Lance on the other hand stayed trapped in his quarters. He hasn't talked to anyone after seeing what has happen to Pidge. He's so devastated that he can't even talk to his best friend Hunk. Everyone knew he wasn't himself but no one really knew how to help Lance since his personality changed so much. He was always the ones to cheer on everyone else and would do anything to make them laugh. Even Hunk admitted that he doesn't want to talk to lance in this state it might make things worse for him at the moment. Keith didn't believe that one bit he was going to help Lance even if it might hurt him. 

Everyone at the mess hall was quite and didn't bother to carry a conversation. No one wants to talk about what Lance and Keith saw in Pidge's cockpit so everyone tries to carry on as if nothing happens. But it makes Keith want to drive his sword into a Galar . He stood up making everyone shock at the sudden movement.

"I'm going to talk to him."

Everyone looked at him giving him sympathetic looks. He nodded heading towards Lance's room.

Once Keith left the room Hunk looked at Allura and Coran.

"Allura do you think Pidge is still out there?"

"Of course she is. It's Pidge isn't it!"

She has some odd edge to her voice that made Coran and Hunk make known not to really talk about this topic again. Hunk tried to make the conversation better.

"I honestly don't know why I even questioned that. It is Pidge she's beyond fearless and always has some kind of loop to get through hard situations."

Coran smiled approving what Hunk just said. Hunk looked at Allura hoping she would show some kind of sign that didn't seem to put him at edge or disapprove him. She smiled lightly turning her head down slowly. Hunk noticed a tear fall to her plate. Hunk didn't understand but wanted to give Coran and Allura some space. He stood up politely excusing himself and took his leave. As he edge closer to the exit he heard them speak in their language he thought to himself. 'must be something serious.'

Keith finally arrived at Lance's door about to pound the door open out of habit but pulled back realizing that was not at all Keith should do to help a good friend out.

"Hey buddy you in there?"

After the words left his mouth he regretted them. OVBISLY HE WAS IN THERE KEITH GOD YOUR SO DUMB. Keith palmed his face out of embarrassment. As Keith starts to mumble under his breath there was a groan from the other side. Keith assumes it means a yes. He presses the button beside the door to open.

The many times Keith has been in Lance's room which was rarely it was always clean and bright. He would have his face mask and cleaners stacked on his desk. With his robe hanging on the chair that was pushed into the desk and his mirror above his desk. But once the doors slowly opened it was dark and the only light that was shown was from the hall way. And all Keith could see from the hall way light there was bottles thrown across the floor some glass pieces from a broken mirror. Keith squinted his eyes to scan where Lance was.

Taking a step forward in his room and flicked the lights on. Keith's expression soften as he saw the blue paladin pushed against the wall laying on his bed with the covers swallowing him. Before Keith was going to spill out soft and comforting words he smelled blood. His eyes quickly scanning the blue paladin's room saw a glass shard with newly fresh blood on the tip. Keith's eyes widen with fear. Than anger shot through his veins as if he just swallowed some kind of drug.
