Purple Hearts

Chapter Eleven:Another Attack

When you tryna concentrate on writing but Friend Please is playing and you keep getting distracted. Sorry for bad quality, my brain is dead. Also help I'm on twenty seven percent battery and I'm stuck at my my mums work for two more hours
Keiths POV
I wandered the halls of the castle, after being kicked out of Lances room so he could do his 'beauty routine' or some shit. Wandering aimlessly is a lot more fun when you have a book or something. I forgot to bring my books, which is gonna get me a lecture from Haggar. Boy am I looking forward to that. Probably gonna get my ass whooped as well. Great.
I'm just muttering jibberish to myself when I run into a strange person. They're wearing a hooded robe, much like mine but it has glowing yellow ribbons attached, where mine has purple and red. Weird. The stranger bows, and hurriedly walks away. Strange. I keep walking down the hall, completely oblivious to the world around me.
I snap out of my daze, head whipping around to see a red flashing light. Sirens blare around me. In the distance, I can hear quiet screams. No.... Not again.... No.....
I fall to my knees, holding my head and shaking. Tears pour down my face, and I ignore the running feet around me. I don't care. I let out a wretched scream.
I can't do this again.....
Muscled arms wrap around me and lift my limp body off the ground. Shiro. I can hear his feet pounding on the floors. I can't see anything anymore. It's all blurred by tears.
No... I was finally happy again..... Happy... Lance.... I need Lance....
Lance. Where's Lance. I can't lose him too. Mirror promised me I wouldnt lose him too. She promised. Mirror never breaks her promises. She can't, right? I scream, meaning to call out for Lance, but all that comes out is a strangled noise. I feel Shiro patting my back.
"Hey buddy... It's okay. It's gonna be okay. Don't worry." Mirrors voice rings through my ears, coming from the void outside my brain. I hear his voice again, but I can't make out the words. The screams and sirens fade to nothing, leaving me in darkness.
Lances POV
I turn the corner, panting. I was in the middle of eating breakfast when the panic alarms sounded. Someone's attacking us. Why now? The universe is the most peaceful it's been for quintants.
A pained scream fills my ears and I stop. Keith. He was in an incident like this before, Lotor told me. That's how Mirror lost her vision, and Keith lost his twin. I have to find him, he'll probably be scared. Damnit, why did I kick him out?
I look around, seeing aliens of all shapes and sizes thundering through the hallway to the main hall. I spot a certain tall, fluffy man with a scar across his nose, and a tall, less fluffy man with long white hair running toward me. Keiths brothers. I'm assuming that his sister is on Lotors back, because her head is poking up over his shoulder, worry causing her lilac skin to crease. And Keith, where's Keith? I look around in a panic, before I spot him. Or rather, his tail. He's slung limply over Shiros shoulder. He's alive, at least. Relief fills my body.
I feel someone grab my hand and pulls me into motion again. I stumble, and turn back to Allura, who's pulling me toward a large, open door.
Once everyone's in there, those doors will close and lock, shutting anything and everything out until further notice. The only occasion Ive ever seen the inside of that wretched room is in drills, practices. But this. This isn't a drill. There's real screams this time, and black smoke and dust fill the air around us. This, right here, right now, is not a fucking drill.
I run through the door, tripping over my feet in my hurry to get in. Safe. For now, at least.
But the feeling of peace and safety lasts for less than a minute, as the sound of gunshots sound through the halls. Panic fills my veins, and I whip my head around, to see fire and blood filling the air of the safe room. Or,not so safe room, if you will. In a panic, I sheild Allura with my body.
"Find Keith and his siblings. They'll protect you." I hiss over my shoulder, eyes glowing. My irises have become completely black, sclera (the white part of your eye, I had to look it up) turning an eerie blue.
"But Lance, what about you?!" Allura whimpers in fear, shaking hand on my shoulder.
"I'll be fine. But I promised Mother that I would protect you, and I'm not about to lose you to some sick fucker with a gun." I flash her a winning smile, and then push her in the direction of Shiro. "Now go!" She hurries toward the nearest huddle of people, worry casting a shadow over her face as she glances over her shoulder, a worried look on her face.
I turn back to the attackers. They must have been waiting in here. I crack my knuckles, cruel smile settling on my face. So, what have we here?
