The Forgotten One (Voltron)

chapter 6

                 Lyra jolted into the world, perspiring and wild-eyed. her palms were sweaty and her entire body trembled from the terrifying nightmare that had just awoken her. she took a deep breath to calm herself when everything from the last day had washed over her. she sat up and smiled.  she was free! after so many years, so many attempts to escape! she felt the happiest she had been in what felt like forever. her eyes teared up in relief. 

Suddenly, a blaring siren pierced her ears and she jumped up, startled. something rocked the ship and she stumbled a bit. she wiped the small tears that had welled her eyes just moments ago. she became tense. lyra went to the door to get an idea of what was happening.  she rushed down the empty hallways, everything a blur, and finally found what she thought was the control room. she stood in front of the open door and watched as seven different people, including the three she had met already, rush around the room. she looked at the screen and saw a gaulra cruiser, that looked a lot like the ship she had been in for a very long time, fired at the castle. 

                After a while, when the shaking subsided, she decided to go take a look around, and exercise her freedom. wandering down the hall, she imagined what she might find in the halls of this bright and seemingly cheerful castle. she entered an elevator to who knows where and sat on the floor as it went down. the door opened majestically and she entered a beautiful room. there was water floating on the ceiling she walked right under it to admire its beauty. she wished she could touch it so badly! then she realized she wasn't touching the ground and she began to float up, having no control over where she was going she floated up to the water, slowly flipping and twisting. her feet gently touched it and her rotating body stilled. she laughed at the tingling feeling. 

                lance relaxed as red pulled into the landing bay. he got up and popped his back, then rushed out of the lion. he came into the control room. Coran seemed to be staring at a screen. confused. lance stalked up behind him. 

"what are you doing?" he asked, his face just behind Coran's head. 

"Ahhh!!" the orange haired man jumped up and promptly smacked lance in the face. "oh sorry lance!" he exclaimed and sat back down. "the freed gaulra prisoner is at the altain pool!" 

lance looked at the screen to see a purple-skinned girl, upside down mind you, and floating up with that cursed pool.

"arg!" Lance threw his hands up in the air and walked out of the room, frustrated with his human state. "stupid aliens!" he shouted as he walked out the door.
