Keith's twin sister

∆ Chapter 1 ∆

Keith POV:

It was a normal day for the red paladin.

He got up, got dressed, trained, and ate. And then trained some more.

After a few more vargas of training he heard Allura's voice crack through the castle intercom, "Everyone come to the control room. Immediately."

Whatever it was it sounded urgent, so Keith wiped the sweat off his forehead and headed towards the control room.

Everybody was whispering quietly when Keith walked in. Lance, Keith's crush, noticed Keith first. Keith watched Lance gently nudge Shiro's shoulder. As Shiro looked up and saw Keith he smiled slightly, but quickly looked away.

Ok, I'm definitely getting the feeling that this meeting is about me. Keith thought to himself.

He got snapped out of his thoughts by Allura's voice, "Keith. You got a message from... a special person."

Keith was confused. He didn't have anyone special in his life besides his team. Well he did have- no that was silly she didn't love him anymore. And she never would.

Even though I still love her with all my heart.

Keith shook his head, realizing how silly that sounded. What's the point in loving someone if they don't love you back.

Keith pushed his thoughts aside and decided to ask, "Who?"

"Well, according to the video message she sent, she goes by the name Zilah Kogane," Coran said.

Zilah Kogane. Keith's knees buckled. His world spun. He felt as if he was going to projectile vomit everywhere.

No. This is a prank. They're lying. Zilah doesn't even know where I am. What does she even want? No she doesn't want anything 'cause this isn't even real, it's a dream, or a prank. God. Oh god please, let this be a silly prank.

Then it hit him. He never told anyone. Not even Shiro. Not even his lion, Red.

He fought the strong urge to collapse and cry.

He came back from his thoughts as Lance snapped his long fingers in Keith's face. "Hey mullet. Anything you want to tell us."

Keith looked into Lance's beautiful  blue, ocean like eyes. Tears filled his eye as he realized all he wanted was his sister, and Lance, as much as he hated to admit it.

As Keith searched Lance's ocean eyes he saw some emotions that surprised him. Hurt. Worry. Surprise.

Keith took a deep breath and spoke in a low voice, "It is true that I have a sister, and her name is Zilah Kogane. She is my twin," Keith felt a tear escape from his eye but he kept talking, "I haven't spoke to her since I left for the Garrison. I thought she hated me. Hell, she does hate me, but that doesn't mean I hate her....." Keith tried to smile, but it just caused more tears to leak out of his eyes. "That video message that she sent was probably just her explaining how much she hates me." Keith tried to laugh, but it just came out as a choked sob.

No, please. Stop crying. Your crush and your whole team are staring at you. Stop crying. It just makes you more weak than you already are.

"Hey, Keith," Keith looked up. He was taken back a bit when he heard how gentle Lance's voice was, "Calm down, mullet, you haven't even seen the video yet." Keith felt Lance's soft hand wipe a few tears off his most likely blotchy pale face.

Yes, just watch the video, Keith. She probably is just making fun of how much of a chicken you were when you were little.....or just explaining that she's glad that you left, that she always hated you.

Keith jerked his head up when the screen came on. Then he saw her. He saw her dark violet eyes, her messy raven black braid that settled on her slim waist. She looked older and a bit taller, but she still looked a lot like she did when she was little.

She looked a lot like Keith. Same jawline, same pale ivory skin, same hair color, same eyes, same nose. Her lips were slightly thicker and more pink than Keith's. But other than that she looked like an exact girl version of Keith.

Keith couldn't help but smile a little as she started to talk, "Hey Keithers! In case you already forgot this beautiful face of mine, it's your favorite and only twin, Zilah Kogane!"

Keith grinned as she winked and made finger guns to the camera. You cocky son of a bitch. Keith thought.

"So I've been thinking for a while, and I realized that I wanted my cute baby brother. So I broke out of the Juvenile Detention Center I was in, and ran to the Garrison. When they said that my little brother was expelled...wellll..."

Keith became confused after she said something about a juvenile detention center, but kept watching the video.

"You see, I kinda sort of maybe punched Iverson in the face and then ran away. After that I guessed that you were at home. You weren't there either. But let's say that I was a bit pissed when there was a few holes in the wall in our room. Then it hit me! I saw that thing that looked like you became a damn detective in the living room. You know with all the tacks and strings and such. So then I studied that mess for a bit and came to the thought that you were in space.

"I then maybe ran back to the Garrison to steal a space ship thing. And using some twin powers of mine I've been trying to find you in space."

Keith noticed although her cocky expression her eyes were red with dark purple bags under them, and her face was blotchy and tear stained. She was also figeting with her long braid.

"When the voices kept saying it was hopeless I just tried harder for you. And with that being said, I will find you little brother. Even if it takes years, even if I have to travel light years across this dark abyss filled with stars people called space, I will find you." She gave the camera a small smile as a single tear slipped down her face, "See you soon, little brother."

The screen went black.

Keith didn't even realize that he was crying until he heard Lance ask, "Umm, Keith are you ok?"

Keith wiped away at the tears and smiled, "Yeah, I'm good." And for the first time in a long time Keith wasn't lying about it.

"Good. Because that wasn't all of the reason I called you all of you to the control room for." Allura turned to Keith and smiled brightly, "We have a distress signal not far from here, and we think it's from your sister, Keith."
