underwater

endless nights

(lance's pov)

I walk slowly towards Shiro's door, the last door to check. I press my ear against the door. I hear snoring. Yup he's definitely asleep. It took longer for everyone to sleep. I almost got caught by Pidge. She was still working on rover, it was odd because it was awfully quiet. Normally it would be loud, but she was only using her computer to program it.

Now that everyone is finally asleep i can now have the night to myself. Its not often that I do this, but lately I haven't feeling myself any more. I run towards the head of the castle. Once I've reached the head of the castle I close the door to make sure no one will come in.

I stare out the big window. The stars are bright tonight. I walk around the room close to the wall, my hand running through the walls. I feel a bump on the wall, that's the spot. I quickly open the little comportment in the wall. There lies a few of my belongings, I take out the phone they gave us at the garrison. Surprisingly it was still in my pocket even after all that chaos.

I put on my playlist and look out the window. I sit down since my feet were hurting from running and standing a lot. I remember those days were Veronica, Rachel and I would give each other makeovers.We would wear face mask and while we waited for them to dry we would listen to music and sing along, making each other laugh so hard that the face mask would crack a bit. Nobody can replace those memories or that feeling i felt when we did those things.

I had a close bond with my sisters since I guess I was more like them then my brothers. I sigh asking "why must you be so far away?". I want to hear there voices again. I wanna hear them laughing. I want to see them all get along. Now I can't, I can't even think about them because I have to focus on saving the universe. This is a punishment and I don't know how much longer i can keep this up.

I no longer want to look at the stars, if I do I'll end up crying. I lay down on the ground. It's cold, but I like it. It reminds me of the summer breeze. I need to stop thinking of earth and life back there. This is my life now, but all I can think of is earth. As i slowly closed my eyes i suddenly hear footsteps. My eyes open wide. I wasn't scared of who that might be, but annoyed. This night was supposed to be for me to forget about everything that is happening around me and live in my own little world.

i slowly close my eyes once again and try to think of how to get out of this situation. Before thinking of anything the door slides open. Just my luck. It was silent for a moment then footsteps. It comes closer to me.
Wait, why do I even care. If i tried to do something about this I'd probably be blamed for it. I can't be a hero in this situation.

The light from the hallway and the stars make an outline of the person. The shadow goes across my face now he can't see me. Before i knew it a knife was already at my neck. The shadow spoke.

"Who the hell are you, and how did you get in?"

I didn't say anything. My body couldn't. No, it didn't want to move. I was too tired to fight back. Keith must be an idiot if he can't recognize me. I've been here for months now, why ask such a stupid question?

"You think this is a joke! Answer me or I will kill you!"

"go ahead" I jokingly said. After a moment of silence the knife that was once on my neck swings back . I open my eyes the room was dark. The there's a bright light.
