Until your last breath (Matt x Reader) ☆ Magical AU ☆

Control

WARNING: This part of the story has explicit violence, it wouldn't make sense to put the whole story as "mature" just because of one chapter. If you want to read the dream part you can find it here: https://juspaste.it/TheArenaDream

And also I accidentally posted the chapter without being finished, ooops. My bad lmao

__________________

You tossed in bed, sounds of agony caused by the nightmare, "I'm in control" you muttered. Though the least you were in control. That dream unleashed one of the memories that had long been forgotten deep in your psyche, memories that caused too much pain to mention. The arena has marked you both physically and psychologically, and that scared you, that version of you needed blood to feed a vain sense of control. 

"(Y/N)" you could hear the sound being drowned by your stabbing "(Y/N) WAKE UP ALREADY!" You felt a burning slap on your face, making you wake up to reality. The sound of the storm was loud, one of the loudest you had ever heard. In front of you was Keith, he was on fire, literally on fire, some of the other paladins were there too, but you were too unstructured to pay attention, an unbearable pain in your chest, tears streaming down your face, that memory was too much, you didn't like to remember yourself that way, a bloodthirsty monster, The Arena made you a different person, for long you tried to ignore, to forget, but you couldn't erase who you were. "(YYY/NNN)!" Keith screamed.

"Hijo de...Who left Keith in charge of calming her?!" Lance screamed, holding on to the door so that he wouldn't fall due to the swing of the airship.

"I'm going to puke" Hunk was almost falling, clearly nauseous.

"You two aren't helping!" Keith screamed back

"I need...where is Shiro?!" Your voice broke a little due to your cry.

"Shiro is busy!" he took a long breath, trying to calm himself, the fire around his body began to get weaker "Listen, look at me" you could tell he was trying really hard to speak as softly as he could but the sound of Lance and Hunk falling down the hallway and screaming distracted both of you. "(y/n)! Look at me!" the sudden change in his tone startled you a little, causing lightning to fall close to the airship, the fire began to get stronger again. "Look...you need to calm down. Shiro is with the rest of the team trying to land the airship in a safe place, but it's impossible unless you stop the storm, understand?" 

"Y...yes" you nodded.

"Good," he said "Remember, patience yields focus" he seemed to say it more to himself than you, the fire ceassed "Take a deep breath and tell me three things you can see."

"You mean five things?" You said, wiping your tears.

"Doesn't matter!" he was fighting with panic.

You took a look around, trying not to mind the falling things "Hmmm...A wood wall"

"Good"

"Chaos" the airship seemed less shaky.

"You can't see chaos, but that's fine"

"You"

"Right. Now, two things you can touch"

"My bed, my hair"

"One thing you can hear"

"A drizzle" Took a few seconds for you to notice what you just said, "The storm is over..." 

Keith took a long breath and fell into the chair, running a hand through his hair "Thank goodness"

You smiled, it made you start to understand him a little better, you wondered if he's been through this before since he's a sorcerer too. "Thanks, Keith. Maybe you're a green after all"
