Lance's POV

I wake up and go look at my ugly face in the mirror before throwing on some clothes, and putting some makeup I stole from Allura over my wounds and under my eyes. I walked out of my room and down the hall towards the kitchen, spotting Hunk.

"Hey Hunk!" I exclaimed making Hunk jump as I touched his shoulder. He turned around with a slightly annoyed look "I'm not in the mood Lance, I need to concentrate" he said. My face then dropped and mumbled a small "ok.." and left.

Why am I even Alive?

I have no purpose

What's the point in living?

Does anyone care?

Then, as soon as the thought came to mind, a loud roar came into contact with my ears. I jumped and covered them. I suddenly removed them, when I realised it was probably red. But when I ran over to check, red made no sign of acknowledgment.

"..What?" I questioned.

My mind was blank. If it wasn't red, then what was that? My ears then met the same roar again and this time I followed it.

All the way to the black lion.

"Black?" I asked, and the lion responded with a purr. My eyes widened as I felt it almost talking to me, telling me I was chosen. Black then stood up and let out a mighty roar, surely waking up the other paladins.

My eyes concentrated on Black, speechless. Black leaned down and opened her mouth, eagering me in. I looked at it for a moment before letting my foot collide with the metal sort of tongue.

"Lance! What are you doing?!" I heard a scream behind me and turned around to see the man himself running towards me.

Keith.

I didn't say anything for a few moments before I stepped out. Black remained where she was though.

"I...I.." I stuttered lost for words. Keith looked at me with an angry expression "You what? What where you doing with black?" He screamed in my face making me almost cry.

Thoughts then cleansed my mind.

Of course it was a mistake.

You're useless.

Why would you be chosen to lead?

You waste of space

I let it happen.

Keith then gave up and turned to black, like he was going to get in.

But in one swift moment, black quickly shut her jaw, and Keith looked at her with shock.

He tried to get her to open up a few times, throwing some harsh statements in her face, before storming out and I was left with Black again.

I turned to her and her jaw slowly opened again. This time I walked in.

As soon as I was inside and settled in. I felt a connection. My mind filled with positive thoughts for once. And all because of black.

I smiled as a tear came to my eye and I started crying. Black soothed me, purring in my ears.

I was happy.
