Galaxies of Only Herself

Chapter 9

A/n: Eyyy I'm back! ALSO HAVE YOU SEEN SEASON 7 TRAILER *SCREECHES*

My knees slammed hard on the cold floor, that seemed to send a shiver up my back as I was pushed onto my knees in front of Zarkon and Haggar. Though I couldn't see beneath her hood, I could feel her icy disappointed stare on me. Zarkon seemed fine on the other hand though, but it seemed he had no outward emotion towards my actions to be told. Then again, he didn't really care for prisoners. My head turned to the black and white armored man beside me, who was as well forced to his knees. His eyes showed panic, while mine showed calmness like a calm before a storm.

"Why have you brought her here?" Zarkon questioned, who seemed to be just genuinely curious about my appearance in this, uh... tone.

"Can't you see sire, she has obviously been making plans to escape with this Paladin of Voltron!" Haggar exclaimed. My eyes shot wide open and I turned to the armored man.

"Voltron?" I gasped, the word somehow familiar. The man beside me seemed familiar as well, but I couldn't quite name who he was or where I heard the name 'Voltron' from.

"Yes, I'm apart of Team Voltron. Shouldn't you have heard of Voltron? You're Altean." If my eyes couldn't bulge out of my brain they did now. Team Voltron? Team Voltron! From my dream! This Paladin is from my dream too! I thought to myself, the facts slamming into me like an invisible force. Haggar's gaze seemed to shift to concern as I turned back to Zarkon and Haggar. Did she hear my thoughts? 

"Indeed she might have, but she has brought our Champion to us. She should be rewarded." Zarkon pleasantly said.

"But sire-" Haggar interrupted, stepping forward.

"Shush, she will have the benefit of fighting alongside our Champion. After all, she is just an exceptional rookie." Zarkon stated, flashing me a smile that sent an uncomfortable feeling down my spine. My eyebrows furrowed in an uncomfortable. 

"I will have you roomed together to get to know each other." Zarkon ordered, waving his hand towards us as he looked at the guards. I suppressed a groan. I wasn't the type to get to know easily. 

Time skip!

The guard who bound my hands together unbound them gently. Strange, they are usually rougher than this. The man in armor had already been shoved into a cleanish cell that was my new home. His guard just walked away, again, strange. The guard then placed his hand on my shoulder, and I turned around to face him. He opened his mouth and lifted a hand, then closed his mouth and lowered his hand when his other partner called after him. He left, and locked us in. That just left me, and him. 

"So, what's your name?" he asked, and I suppressed my sigh of discontent. I forced myself to turn to face him and to speak to him like a civilized creature.

"My name is Gigani Tipste, and yours is?" I replied, shoving out my hand.

"Takashi Shirogane, but call me Shiro." he stated, smiling at me. 

"Alright, Shiro, if you need me I'll be in the creepy dark corner." I sarcastically said and flashed a fake smile.

"Don't go there! Well, I mean wouldn't it be better to go to somewhere lighter?" he replied awkwardly. I sighed, realizing he didn't get my sarcasm.

"Listen, Shiro, something to know about me is that I tend to be sarcastic, and sassy." I explained, adding the last part almost silently.

"Oh, ok." he replied sheepishly.
