I'm A Monster (Reader x Keith)

2: Rescuing Keith Kogane; The Human-Galra Boy.

((THIS IS THE BEAUTIFUL PIECE OF ART THAT INSPIRED ME TO WRITE THIS BOOK! THIS IS CATNE'S ARTWORK!!! AHHH!! ITS SO GOOOOD!!!!))

Your point of view

"Uhm... Excuse me?"

I jump a little at the sound of someone speaking. I stay silent not knowing if my cover is blown.

"Down here....."

I look down to see a barred window thriving with new growth and purple hands wrapped around it all.

"Are you from that crash?"

"Sure, why does it matter to you?" I kneel down to actually see the person I'm speaking to. I gasp. It's a boy. He looks no older than me; he's a hybrid mix between human and galra... and he's pretty cute for one too....

"I've been held prisoner here for sometime..... I've lost track of how long...... I was trying to find my bro- friend.... He may be held captive here as well but I can't tell....." The boy seems sincere, he seems like he's afraid to show his feelings but.... he got fairly emotional while explaining why he's here. I respond, "So why should I need to know this?" I didn't mean to come off as so cold...

He looked at me with sad eyes but then looked down at my feet, "You don't need to.... I just.... I just.. Never mind." He retracted his hands off the bars and started to hobble away. I move as close as possible to the window and hold the bars. "Wait! Don't go! I.. I'll help you escape.... And I'll try to help your friend if he is here..."

I mentally scold myself. Dammit! This could be an elaborate trap from the galra... curse my weakness for the love of others.

His different colored eyes widen and a faint smile of relief appears on his face. He starts to limp back to the window but I snap at him, "Stay away from the window." He stops and backs up a bit.

I pull a small black cylinder out of my coat pocket. My hands slash it in front of me and it magically turns into a katana-like sword, glowing red from heat; soft flames form around it. I drag the fire sword across the bars, melting them and making it possible to enter the boys cell. I glance at him for a moment, the flames of my sword glisten off his one violet eye.

I become so lost looking at him, that I don't even realize, the bars are completely melted. I jump through the bars into his cell. The boy looks at me as if I just saved his puppy from being hit by a car.

Wait! I'm helping him and I don't even know his name?! "What even is your name?" He shifts slightly holding one of his arms, obviously shy from not interacting as a person to a person for a while. Like not as prisoner to torture guard assholes. "Keith. Keith Kogane."

The name is familiar... I can't place it though... "What even is your name?" He mocked me.... I guess I did sound a bit rude.. "(Y/N) (L/N). Nice to meetcha Keith, there could have been a nicer way to meet." He nods his head, causing his black bangs to bounce with it.

I remember the fact that he limped, "Can you walk?" He looks down at his legs, "Yes... not very well, though." He seems fairly light... especially because of the fact that he looks emaciated or sickly thin, guessing from the fact that all he's been eating is that slimy goo that's literally made of nothing. I nod and start melting away at the door with my sword.
