I'll be here with you

One

     I sit on my hot bed as I grip the cloth sheets. The pain is almost unbearable. I feel as if I've swallowed fire and it's burning to my very core. It's as if tiny needles are pricking all over my skin. I scratch frantically at my arms and see small dots of blood seep from under my... purple skin? I gasp when I feel like a ton of steel were being pulled on my ears, but upwards.

     I hear a knock on my door. I wince and hiss "Go away!" I scream. My gaze moves towards my hands as I feel my fingernails move. It hurts so bad. I look back to my arms when I see fur. I'm growing fur.

     "Keith, what's wrong!?" It's Lance. Why Lance? Not Now! Anyone but him. A low growl escapes my mouth when I feel my teeth grow sharp and long. He calls out for Shiro. Good.

     "LANCE," I call out in a pained voice. "HELP!" The door opens and suddenly both of them are next to me.

     I feel hands rubbing my shoulder "Hey, hey buddy it's okay..." Shiro's voice trails off and his hand is suddenly replaced with Lance's. "Man, I knew you were Galra, but I didn't know it was that bad." I hear his foot steps as he walks out. The door closes and Lance is still by my side.

     "Shiro?" I ask for him weakly. My eyes hurt. It all stopped hurting at once but my eyes. They burn. Wait, I'm not crying, am I? Lance is the only one I have right now. The one person I hate. I grip the sheets and let out a sob.

     "Shiro left. Probably to get the others." I knew he was lying to make me feel better. "It's okay, Keith."

     "It's not okay! I'm a monster, Lance!" I look up to his kind, eyes and he gasps at the sight of me but takes my hand. "Let go of me you dumbass!" I shove him and run to my bathroom. The mirror shows me someone I'm not. Purple fur covers my face. Large cat-like ear hung from the sides of my head. Sharp, jagged teeth. Yellow, glowing eyes. White hair that falls in front of my face.

     No one else comes to the room and all I can hear are faint sniffles coming  from Lance. I probably hurt him really bad but I don't care about that guy right now. He's always hated me, why would he just be nice now? Probably just a trick to play with my feelings. Freaking jerk.

     I run to the hall and see everyone pointing their weapons at me. Allura is baring her teeth and has a gun aimed to my heart. Hunk, shaking with his Bayard tries to seem tough but fails. Pidge waves her's to show she is unafraid to hurt me. "You took my family!" Shiro has his right hand ready to hit me.

     "I'm sorry, Keith. We can't trust galra."
