Finding Hope ~ [Voltron WA 2018]

Chapter 4: 7 Vargas

I know that this chapter is short but I'm writing as I get inspiration so some chapters are going to be longer the others.

But I hope you enjoy 😉

———-

Matt knew that it had been at least 7 Vargas since they contacted Shiro. He knew this because he was wearing a watch from earth. Matt loved his watch and would never part with it.

Matt got the watch from Katie a couple days before he left on his mission.

"That way you will always know what time it is here at home," she told him when she gave it to him "I've tweaked it so that it should never die or stop working correctly," she said with a smile on her face

"Thanks, Pidge" He cooed

He knew that the time is space was different but the hours (or Vargas) were roughly the same. The clock read 10:00 am, and it read 3:00 am when they called Shiro.

During that time they had been on five different ships, Matt figured they were trying to shake off Voltron.

Pidge lay next to him pale and still out. The Galra had forced her out off her armor and made Matt undress and redress her, he was thankful for that; and knew she would be too. The thought of some Galra scum doing the job made his stomach turn.

She now wore the much too familiar prison clothes.

"It makes me feel closer to him" she would say

He stared at her, wishing in vain that she would wake, or at least move. She looked dead, Matt had to keep reassuring himself that she wasn't, by having a hand on her wrist and watched her chest go up and down.

He wondered if they had given her too much for her small body and that maybe she would never...

"Snap out of it Matt!" He told himself

Your going to be fine Katie, Just hold on" he wasn't sure if she could hear him, but he continually reassured her that she would be fine.

The bay door from the back of the ship started to open jarring Matt from his thoughts

"Up rebel up," said a Galra soldier

He was not cuffed this time, but Pidge was. They knew he would not take off without her. He stood glaring at the Galra.

The Galra bent over and uncuffed Pidge and threw her over his shoulder like a sack of potatoes. "Careful!" Matt yelled at the soldier in frustration

"Trust me boy by the time Haggar is done with her, you will think that I'm treating her like a princess." He Mocked back.

Matt was done, he charged at the Galra. But halted quickly when the purple man unslung Pidge and was holding her limp body by her hair. He glared at him but slumped his shoulders in defeat.
