Secrets Between Blood

Chapter 1: The Meeting (Part 2)

Keith's POV:

I finally got to the center of the pod, where men in suits were standing around a table. The second they saw me, I got into a fighting stance.

"Hey, who's that!? Stop him!" I looked at who it was that yelled, I smirked.

"Iverson." I whispered. I lunged forward, immediately knocking him on his ass. I swung around and started knocking everyone unconscious. When I turned back to Iverson, he was about to yell into a walkie-talkie.

Within and instant, I kicked it out of his hands, breaking it against the wall. I kicked him in the face with my other foot, knocking him out cold.

"Good Riddance." I hissed as I walked over to the table. I took off my mask and looked at who it was. The man was muscular, had a scar across his face, and was unconscious. "Sh... Shiro?" I gasped. How? I quickly pulled out my knife and cut off the restraints. That's when I noticed his arm. It was metal and had a galran symbol on it.

"Oh... no." I sighed, before quickly picking him up off the table. Just then, I heard the door open behind me. I twisted around, pointing my blade towards them. There were three students running in. One of them was big and scared. Another was small and was constantly looking around the room. The one in the middle was a tall, lanky, and had a very serious look in his eye. He was the only one I recognized.

"Thanks Keith, but we can take it from here!"

Lance's POV:

I quickly ran over and put Shiro's other arm(robotic) around my shoulders. Keith immediately put his dagger to my throat.

"Back up, now. You don't know what you're getting you and your friends into." I stared at him blankly. "Seriously? You want to do this the hard way?"

"Look, Keith. I don't think you know what you're getting yourself into. Please, let us take care of this." I said, and my plea made him pause.

"What exactly do you know?" he asked, taking the dagger off my throat. His tone and the look in his eye made me pause as well.

"Do... what do you think I know?" I asked, and he smirked.

"Lance! We don't have time for this! They're coming back!" Pidge yelled, and I looked at Keith.

"Alright. If you're willing to risk your own future, then fine. Whatever. But we can't leave Shiro with the Garrison." Keith said in the most serious tone as we were walking out.

"Um, I don't know. Don't you think we should-"

"NO!" Keith and I yelled.

"Look Hunk, I love ya man, but we can't go back now. You can, I'm sure you guys have something better to be doing. But I have to do this." I said as calmly as possible as Keith and I pulled Shiro onto his hoverbike. I climbed on and held Shiro while Keith started the hoverbike. Then we looked back at Hunk and Pidge.

Hunk sighed, "My mom is going to kill me."
