Keith's twin sister

∆ Chapter 2 ∆

Zilah POV//First person:

I looked around the space ship thing I 'borrowed' from the Garrison.

You literally brought everything except food and water. Nice one Zilah.

I stood up to stretch but my hands hit the ceiling. I let out a sigh as I started to undo my raven braid.

I stared at my now wavy hair that settled on my mid thigh.

I collapsed onto seat. I looked out the windshield thing and took in the surroundings of the planet I crash landed on. It had a rocky and dark landscape. 

I let out an exhausted sigh as I let memories consume my mind.

I looked in the mirror.

Another fight

Really another black eye? These ones are the hardest to cover up.

I plastered the foundation and cover up to my eye, wincing at the pain I should be used to.

I walked out of the bathroom just to see Keith right in front of me.

I forced a smile, "What's up, Keithers?"

"Zilah! I got accepted into the Garrison!" The grin on his face seemed to grow larger. This was the happiest I've ever seen him.

Panic washed through me. Keith can't leave! No. Please no.

The tears stung my eyes,but I blinked them away, "Are you going to go," I managed to choke out.

Keith's smiled faltered, "Of course I am. Why wouldn't I?"

"Well, I-I was just thinking that I can't go with you."

Please Keith your the only thing keeping me alive.

"Can't you be happy for me?!" He flung his arms up, "Why is it always you? Why do we always have to be worried about precious Zilah!" He got into my face, "Why? I'm asking you a fucking question Zilah! Answer me!"

I felt a force against my chest. I flung back and hit the bathroom door. A warm liquid covered my face. My head felt warm and fuzzy.

A smile crept onto my face as I wiped the warm liquid from my face.

"Keith, not every thing is about me. I think you just need a moment to realize that not everything is about you." I stood up and started to walk away. I stopped and watched an unwanted tear drip to the ground. I turned around, "I love you, Keith. Do whatever makes you happy. All I want is for you to be happy, little brother." I looked down, "Obviously that's not me."

I looked up to see Keith crying, he opened his mouth, but he couldn't seem to get anything out but sobs. 

I smiled at him as more tears leaked down my face, "Have fun at the Garrison, Keithers, I hope it makes you happier than I do."

I opened my eyes to see a giant blue and white robotic lion. 

"Zilah, this is Lance McClain, Paladin of the blue lion of Voltron. We saw your distress signal, I am here to rescue you." I heard a voice crack through the escape pod. His name apparently was...Lance.

The huge lion leaned his head down and a tan guy in blue and white armor walked out of it's mouth. 

Wait hold up this dude is walking out this robotic lion's mouth, and he is saving me. I must be dreaming. 

I blinked my eyes a few times and pinched my arm. I waited for my body to be flung out of this dream world, but it didn't. I gulped. What the actual hell is going on!

"Zilah, do you have an oxygen mask. This planet has no air, you're gonna need one." 

"Oh, you mean this little space helmet thing that has big red words that say, 'DO NOT TOUCH UNLESS OF AN EMERGENCY' on it?" I said through the little walkie talkie thing the space ship connected on this curly black wire, "Is it an emergency?" 

I heard a sigh through the speaker system, "Do you want to be rescued or not? Your brother is worried sick about you, if I don't come back with you I will never  hear the end of it. And besides I want to see if you actually look like and act like Keith."

Keith? Did I hear that correctly? Nope, definitely dreaming, "Umm, excuse me...Lance did you just say 'Keith', because do you mean like Keith Kogane or like a different Keith?" 

"Yes I mean Keith Kogane, your twin sist- oh, sorry I meant twin brother." He laughed at his own joke and then spoke again, "You are Zilah Kogane, right?"

I wiped a tear away from my face, and blinked away the rest of them, "Y-yes I am Zilah Kogane." I ignored his joke, even though I would usually beat someone to a pulp if they made fun of my brother, I was just overwhelmed with happiness. 

I was going to see my brother again. It's been eight years since I've seen him, and I was finally going to see him again.

"I need to get my stuff. I'll be right out." I squeezed through the tight space to get behind the pilot chair and grabbed the small suitcase with my needs in it. You know the normal clothes, sweatshirts, hairbrush, shampoo, conditioner, brass knuckles, a collection of blades and knives, toothbrush, tooth paste, a picture of Keith and my dad, and a few lock picks. Oh! And my phone, laptop, IPod, three pairs of earbuds, two pairs of headphones, some books, and three notebooks, two packages of pens, a package of mechanical pencils, a package of erasers, and my brand new diary. 

Okay, I get it. I'm one of those girls that packs a lot when I go on trips. But I packed the necessities. Well besides food and water....but that's not the point. I was in a rush and I wanted to see my brother.

I threw my suitcase gently, but swiftly over the seat and squeezed through the small space again. 

I put my hair in a quick bun, so the helmet thing would actually fit all my hair in it, and pressed the button that opened the entrance to the space ship thing. I hopped out and my feet landed softly on the ground.

The Lance dude walked over to me, "Okay, all we have to do is go into the big robotic lion's mouth, get into the cockpit, and, I, Lance McClain, will pilot us safely back to the Altean castle\ship thing." He smiled cockily and offered me his arm, "Shall we?"

I smiled mockingly back, "Yes I shall!" I walked away smoothly without taking his arm.

"I can see how you and Mullet are related," he said grudgingly as he jogged to catch up to me.

I flipped my head around, "He still has that dumb mullet! I thought I told him to cut the damn thing off!"

He smiled as we entered the lion's mouth, "Me and you are going to get along just fine."

Hey guys I know I am writing two fanfictions now, which is, like, against Wattpad law, BUT I promise that I am going to even up the publishing times. In all honesty that probably means that it might take longer to publish the chapters for both fanfictions. Some of you *clears throat* like my wonderful and my favorite cousin sadsam1231  (please look her up and follow her she makes amazing stories!) may recognize this fanfic, that is because I have published this before and I just republished it. Any new readers, I hope you enjoy!!
