Secrets

Stay calm

The moon was shown bright into the dark twilight sky. On the top of a gray building the stars shown so bright. Down below was a man sitting in a white chair on a black phone speaking in hush whispers that on the top of the building could not hear nor care about. The black figure on top of the building looked though a glass circle, making the man sitting down larger and more clear. The red dot in the center of the glass was lined up with the man's life source. With one quick sweep of a finger over the black trigger and the white chair is now stained with crimson...

I waked up with a loud annoying sound going off. I look over and see a red flashing light going off. I sigh and mutter, "The galra are probably attacking." I slowly swing each leg over the side of the bed and stand up stretching. I walk over to the space closet and start pulling on my paladin armor. That dream was of the first time I killed a man. I remember seeing the blood stain that chair and how my mom was so proud of me. My mother is a cold blooded murder and so is the rest of my family. It's good to know that they are dead and not harming others. I'm a murder too, a monster, a killer. I understand this and that's why I stay on this ship. I need to save as many lives as I have kill, destroyed, and ruined. I am not worthy of life so I'm waiting for the day when a healing pod can't save me. I don't want the others to know what I am, so I put on a face and play dumb.

I finish putting my armor on and I realize that I'm really late today. I walk through the automatic doors in time to hear Shiro's voice coming onto the speaker with a impatient tone, "Lance, where are you? The other members of your team have already stared fighting. Keith needs his right arm out there." I sigh and decide to jog the rest of the way to the lion hangers. I walk up to red and shutter. I hate the color red, it's too close to the color of blood. I walk into red and feel her voice of need. She wants to fight and help her true paladin, Keith. I sit down in her and her controls come to life. I know that on this team I am Keith's replacement. As a monster I am fine with this and with that last thought of mine I fly red out of the hangers.

I meet up with Keith and the others outside of the castle. I fly up to them and see them fighting Lotor. I get right into the set of things. I yell into the coms, "Did you start the party without me?" "Maybe if you were on time we wouldn't have to, Lance" Keith sounding strained, I go towards him to help out. Keith is getting hit one after another with plasma rays. I fly straight up to him and hit him in the side to get him out of the shot rang resulting in me getting hit. Red is sending "Thanks" and "ouch" waves of thoughts into my head. We continue fighting until Lotor lands on the planet below us. Pidge's voice comes onto the coms, "should we fallow?" "It might be a trap" hunk sounding always suspicious. "I say we do" Keith being the hot head he is. "Lets join the party down there." I sound joking even though I don't have a smile on. Years of training with emotions do pay off some times. Allura with the last vote saying we should give chase sends us down onto the planets ground.

Right when our lions touch the ground I notice something weird. The lions are not responding and have stopped sending out signals with the mind. The silence is like something before a tragic event unfolds. I see the black lions mouth open up and Keith walking out. Taking this as a signal I stand up and walk to the doors. "Everyone stay close." Allura's worried voice comes on. Before I open the door I put on a fake smile and step out ready to acted as goofy if needed. We slowly start walking towards the signal that was let off by Lotor. We start to near the area that Lotor and his generals are. Keith looks at me and nods. I nod back knowing that what he wants is for me to go onto higher ground to snipe. I break formation and head up to the top of a hill above the canyon Lotor is in. I lay down and form my Bayard into a sniper. It's like the one I used to use. I look down at the spot and take a deep breath. My body knows what to to before my mind does. I'm looking through the scope and see my team and Lotor's team battling it out. If I kill Lotor I don't have to stay here anymore. My mission would be over and I could finally Rest In Peace. I decide to go into full assassin mode. I see Lotor and am about to fire. My finger waves above the trigger. But then blue eye is looking at me.

He sees me, He knows I'm here, and for the first time ever my blood runs cold because I can see it in his eyes. He is as good of an assassin as me and he knows I'm an assassin too.
