There's something else here

Fatigue

A/n : That's a cool song y'all should listen to and enjoy! Happy holidays y'all! Wooohooo! Here's an update!
~~~
Pidge was very tired, she knew she was sleeping, kinda floating really. The blankness of sleep and her very own dream-scape, it was comforting, but also lonely. There was usually tinges of green in this empty space. And soft comforting purrs, green had been distant ever since the vines...
Oh shit
The vines, they were, right there. In the distant getting closer. Slithering like snakes, starving for their next scrumptious meal. Skittering around the edges of her void. That wasn't right, normally the nightmares stopped when Pidge was here, they never started here...
Swoosh
The snakes shot out slipping around her and squeezing her torso. She felt a fear she'd never felt before, terror gripping at her like a desperate child being dragged away from home. Which was what she was, she didn't want to be here, that's what she knew. She never intended to be stolen out into space by a giant robot cat, fighting in a war she never knew about. She blamed blue, she blamed that stupid giant cat. And green, who didn't even come to save her until it was almost too late. That's why she was here, being strangled by a giant vine. Wait, she had been, she was dreaming now. But still being strangled, that, wasn't right. Right? She was aware she was dreaming she should be able to control it. But, Pidge couldn't, as she struggled in its grasp it was like she was back on the planet. Suffocating on vines the same color as her lion...

Hunk didn't know what to do. He had followed Pidge to keep an eye on her while she slept, it wasn't weird. He was just worried, and for good reason. Not long after she had fallen asleep she started kicking and mumbling something under her breathe. Hunk has grabbed her legs so she wouldn't hurt herself. This caused her to kick harder though. So he let go, she calmed a bit. But she was still freaking out. Logically Hunk knew he should go get Coran, but that would mean leaving Pidge alone, and if she woke up alone... what would happen then? So instead he got up and paced. Hoping against hope that she would wake up soon.

Twenty minutes, Hunk had spent twenty minutes pacing back and forth. Then Lance waltzed into the room. He saw Pidge, rushed over to help, and was immediately kicked in the face. Lance stumbled backwards and let out a undignified squawk. Hunk couldn't help but laugh, the seriousness of the situation escaped his mind for a bit, that is until he heard Pidge say something. Hunk and Lance froze, unsure of what to do.
"What was that Pidge?" Lance spoke, voice filled with concern.
"Green... hu-hurt, she..." Pidge was sitting up, staring at Hunk, her eyes unseeing, she swallowed and continued, "I-I, I want to go home..." Lance rushed over to the bed, but stopped when Pidge shuffled backwards.
"No no, I'm sorry Pidgey. Hey, hey, it's okay," he was walking slowly now, hands up in an attempt to appear less frightening. Whatever happened with the plant was a lot worse than they thought. "Hunk's gonna go get Coran, we're gonna figure out what's going on okay? Pidge, please look at me," he was speaking softly, as if she were made of glass, Hunk got up and went to get Coran. Pidge looked at the sudden movement, then back at Lance. Recognition slowly slipped into her gaze, she shook her head. Lance was at the side of her bed now. He reached his hand out to place it on her shoulder in reassurance, she grabbed his hand. He could feel her shaking, and he was reminded of how small she was. God she was the youngest on the team and yet she almost died, and now there was something else wrong. Lance really hoped Hunk would be back soon.
"D-don't," oh right Pidge was still here, holding his hand. And Lance had zoned out into an inner monologue while his friend was in trouble. "Lance, I- the vines, they... did you, Hunk said there was some with me... in," she stopped. "Green, where is green, and the vines..." Lance took his hand away. Visibly Pidge calmed. Lance wondered if she was really seeing him, or if she was seeing something else. There was a knock at the door.
"Come in," Lance called, Hunk pushed open the doors slowly, Coran behind him. Concern painted the Alteans face. He had a machine with him, it looked like an inhaler, but with a clear casing at the top.
"Ah number five, I need you to do me a favor," He was walking quickly towards Lance, and the bed. "You need to breathe into this, it'll analyze whatever lingering poison is in your system. Then we can get working on an antidote!" Pidge looked shaken, but more like her old self. She nodded, grabbed the device out of his hand and awkwardly fiddled with it. Eventually Coran has to help her, the clear container at the top turned a sickly green color, and Coran paled. "This is not good, this is very much not good. Hunk! Lance! Keep her awake and in here I'm going to get the others!" Coran ran out of the room, muttering under his breathe the whole time.

Cliff hanger! Heyo sorry for the late update... I'm very bad at keeping a schedule, I plan to have the next part up next week, but seeing how this one is late that one will probably be late too, also I'm pretty sure this is the longest thing I've written on this app... I have a story that took up an entire journal but I have yet to find the motivation to type that up... sorry
