Legendary dreams turn into reality.

Where is he?!

One week later
6:30pm
Keith has been gone for a week and his friends are starting to worry about him. He hasn't replied to anyone's calls or texts, he has left them all on unread. They checked his apartment and he was definitely not there. They were all gathered at Lance's place.

"He couldn't have gone far." Lance says. "Maybe he has gone to visit one of his old foster homes?" He said, uncertain on his response.

"Why would he do that? They were all dicks to him." Pidge says. "I'm telling you he ran away because he hates Voltron high."

The disappearance of his friend has really messed up Hunk. The thoughts he has of the reasons Keith had gone wild. What if aliens got him? Or maybe he left because he doesn't like up anymore? Or he is lost? Even worse, what if he succeeded in committing suicide?! Hunk can't hold back his tears as they stream down his cheeks. Allura notices he upset friend and pulls him into a comforting hug, rubbing his back gently. He hugs her and cries into her shoulder.

Pidge and Lance look at their friend sadly. "We need to find him." They speak in sync.

"Allura, can you take Hunk home? Pidge and I need to look into this a little more." Lance says. "I think there is something in that apartment of his and we need to find it." Allura nods and heads off with the upset boy. Pidge looks at Lance.

"How are we going to do this?" She asks him. In return he shrugs but heads out to his car, Pidge follows behind. Lance and Pidge get into the car and head off to Keith's apartment.

"I called up the supermarket that Keith works in and they haven't seen him for a week and apparently he wasn't acting right, like he was hiding something." Lance speaks. Pidge starts to think hard about the problem.

                                     ~~~

After awhile of driving, Lance stops his car out the front of Keith's apartment building, he quickly gets out of the car and rushes inside, Pidge quickly chases after him.

Once Lance gets the Keith's apartment he grabs Keith spare key from his pocket and opens the door, going inside and starting the search. Pidge watches him for a bit before joining him.

"There has to be something here." Lance says frantically. His search moves to the bedroom and he looks around. He notices all of Keith notebooks are missing and it clicked. "Pidge, I think I know why he left." He says as he leaves the room. "I think it's because we always made fun of his passion for Mothman..." Pidge gasps slightly.

"I think that could be true..." she replies. "But where would he go?" Lance shrugs slightly. Pidge sighs and sits down.

                                       ~~~
Meanwhile, miles away from town, Keith sits on the front steps of his shack, looking at the sunset. One more week of suspension...I don't think I should go back to the stupid school. It's not helping me and I'll just end up getting expelled or some shit. He sighs, suddenly there's a bright light in the sky, it kinda looks like a portal of some sort. The teen looks at it carefully.

All of a sudden something quickly fillies out of it. It was big and resembled a human but with huge wings. It looks like is a black or grey colour, it's hard to tell during the sunset. Then it looks at him, it's red glowing eyes on him. Keith's mouth hung open slightly. The creature quickly flies off and Keith tries to chase after it, forcing his legs to go faster but he is no match to its speed. He slowly comes to a stop and tries to catch his breath. What was that? Who was that? How did that happen? Where did they come from? It kinda looked like...Mothman! Keith's mind fills with so many questions, none of them had any answers and it mad him frustrated.

Slowly he starts to head back to his shack. Dad? Did you see that? What was it? Please give me some answers! I  am so confused right now! Keith bites his lip and blushes. If that was Mothman...I hope he comes back to visit. I really wanna be his friend. He sighs happily and enters his little shack and heads to the kitchen to get a glass of water. He gets his water and walks up to his room, sitting at his desk. He grabbed one of his notebooks and starts to write down the event that just occurred.

After he wrote it all down he started to subconsciously draw onto the page. His mind still full of questions and visions. One day we will meet again , beautiful.

                                       ~~~
9:47pm
Lance and Pidge are so exhausted after looking for any clue on where Keith has gone that they decided that they would stay at Keith's for the night. Lance looks through Keith's fridge and grabs a few things out, he carefully turns the stove on and waits for a pan with a little oil heats up. Carefully he puts some mince into the pan and starts to break it up as it cooks.

Pidge watches from a distance until her eyes notice something through the window. She freezes, unable to do anything accept shivering in fear. Looking back at her where two glowing eyes connected to a furry dark grey -almost black- head. "L-Lance..." she chokes out. Lance hums lightly and looks at her. She points a shaking finger at the window. "I think...Mothman is after his man...But he isn't here..."

"Don't be ridiculous, Pidge." The Lance looks at where she's pointing and freezes. "M-Mothman..." The creature looks between the two from the window and after a few seconds he quickly flies away into the night.

"Holy shit..." Lance says. "Was that the Mothman?"

Pidge slowly nods. "I think so..." She looks at him, still shaking a little. Lance and Pidge share the some look of confusion and slight fear.
