Switched?!

Chapter 12

Keith's POV

I found a massive crater in one of the meteors and it's obvious what happened. Lance must've crashed the red lion into this meteor when he was trying to pilot his way through the debris. I'm really scared. If the crash made this much of an impact on the meteor, what impact did it make on Lance?! And where did he go? Did someone take him? I swear to god if Lance lost my lion I'm gonna kill him. Unless...unless he's hurt. I don't want him hurt. If someone hurt him I'm gonna kill them.

I contacted Pidge as soon as I was done investigating to see if she could track the red lion.

"Well, it looks like Lance removed the tracking device before he left the castle. I could see if he forgot the one I planted in the red suit, but maybe you should try contacting your lion mentally. I'm sure whatever bond you have with your lion could withstand your change of bodies." Pidge explained through our communicators. 

"Okay. Sorry to bother you so much about our situation. You've been a big help to us and I honestly wouldn't have survived this without you." I responded. 

"Keith, his tracker shows he's headed for planet controlled by the Galra. Looks like he's on Sendak's cruiser too. This can't be good." Pidge gasped, obviously worried.

"I'm going there then. I have to. For...for my lion. I-I'm sure Lance is fine. He's gotta be. Send me the coordinates. I'll try bonding with my red lion on the way just to see if I can attack the cruiser from the inside." I ranted, feeling rage and worry build up in my chest. 

I feel like I'm about to explode.

Lance's POV

I'm so cold. The air is freezing and I'm chained to the wall of my cell by my ankles and wrists. I've been closing my eyes and checking on Keith every once in a while, I know he's contacted Pidge.

Oh god. He's on his way here. He can't do this, it's a suicide mission! About an hour ago I heard a familiar voice outside my cell, it sounded like Commander Sendak. He was talking to another soldier about my fate. And from the discussion they had, it doesn't look good.

They plan on executing me in the morning. I'm certain they're going to interrogate me soon, because why would they kill me before getting information from me?

Honestly, I'm terrified. I just want to be back at the castle. My joyride was a terrible idea and I wish Keith was here. I need somebody to hold my hand and tell me I'm not gonna die. There's nobody I'd rather it be than Keith. I know, that sounds really cheesy. But I mean it. I'm scheduled to die tomorrow and I want nothing more than to feel safe. Keith always makes me feel that way. 

As much as I want him here to comfort me, he can't sacrifice his life to save me. I'm not worth it. I have to stop him from rescuing me. The team needs him.
