So She Sings...

In the Castle...

Shiro let out a loud tired yawn as he made his way to the sleeping quarters of the castle. He had stayed up, making last minute checks of the castle before turning in for the night. It was more of a routine thing than anything really. He didn't do it every night since he'd swap with Allura and Coran. They didn't mind of course, but it's better to be safe than sorry. 

Nothing seemed out of the ordinary (as usual) so he turned himself in.

He made it to the quarters and debated on whether or not he should check the other paladins. He usually didn't worry, but he guess it couldn't hurt.

The halls were dark. The only light being emit were from the touch pads of each room. And now that he paid attention, the light from Keith's room was on. He could tell since light escaped from under the door. What was weird was the shadows moving underneath, where something would obstruct the light's path.

He walked up to the touch pad and opened the door. Immediately, all ruckus came to a stop. Shiro looked into the room to see Lance on Hunk's shoulders, Keith on Matt's, with Lance's and Keith's hands interlocked in a game of chicken. The blanket was strewn across the floor, and the singular pillow was beaten up on the side. Shiro knew that if there were to be anything else in the room, it would have been destroyed by the four people there. All four people looked at Shiro's face with surprise.

Shiro sighed.

Keith cleared his throat. "Uh, hey, Shiro," he said awkwardly.

"What's up?" Lance asked. Neither realised they still had their hands interlocked.

"Do you guys know how late it is?" Shiro stood with his arms crossed in the doorway. "You guys should be in bed."

"Hey, we were just having some fun," Matt said. Him and Hunk pulled away and allowed the other two to get off their shoulders. "You know, some bonding."

"Yeah. Since we don't know much about Matt, we thought we outta get to know him," Lance said.

"Guess we lost track of time," Hunk added. "Sorry."

Shiro sighed again. "It's fine, but it's late so you guys should be going to sleep."

Keith picked up his blanket and pillow and threw them on the bed. Then he walked everyone out the door of his room into the barely lit hallway. Just as they were about to give everyone their small farewells, they heard a voice.

"Don't be cautious,"

They stopped what they were doing and looked at one another, unsure if what they heard was there or not. They paused, not wanting to break the silence in case they heard the voice again.

"Don't be kind,"

Okay so it was definitely real. This voice was.... well it was soft, but had the strength to carry through the hallway to their ears. It was almost like a whisper. Except it wasn't.

"You committed,"

"You hear that too, right?" Hunk whispered to the other four. Neither of them moved from their places, but he knew that they all nodded.

"I'm your crime,"

"This is seriously creepy," Lance whispered. "I don't really like this."

"Yeah, neither," Hunk agreed.

"I'm going to check it out," Shiro said. He wouldn't admit it, but this was giving him chills. It was unnerving.

"We'll go with you."

"Lance, no-"

"Guys," Matt cut in. "Shut up."

"Push my button,"
