I'm A Monster (Reader x Keith)

23: Stars

Your Point of View

Keith and I walk to the pod room, hand in hand. The rest of the team is there.

"Hey guys. What's going on?"

"Shiro and Sparien still haven't awoken... I fear that their injuries are far too great for a healing pod to fix..."

Allura shows great concern for the twins.

Keith's grip tightens around my hand and his free hand clutches his shirt.

I can already tell that he's blaming himself.

I rub my thumb against his hand and he looks down at me.

He gives a small smile but I know he still feels the same.

"Sparien didn't actually suffer any real injuries though... Did he?"

Lance scratches his head with confusion.

Allura shakes hers in response.

"His brain was taken over and it was overloaded when (Y/n) revealed her sword. Which leaves many questions that we can't answer just yet. He was mentally harmed, that's a lot more difficult to heal than a simple physical wound. Now, Shiro... he suffered both, to the head, meaning-"

A pod opens up and Sparien falls out, Coran moves over to catch him.

Everyone moves closer to them.

"Ugh... what happened?"

Sparien gently rubs his neck, looking around at everyone.

"Well, what's the last thing you remember?"

Pidge adjusts her glasses.

The doppelgänger stands up, with the help of Coran.

"I was just about to take a shower when I blacked out. That's.... it...."

Hunk puts his hand on Spariens shoulder.

"Are you sure? No odd feelings? No visions?"

S.P. ponders the question for a moment before his face lights up with realization. The brightness quickly fades away though.

"Well... before I blacked out... I felt very angry. I don't know why, I was just furious. I started to feel extremely hot. It even got to the point where I was red and covered in sweat. That's why I wanted to shower... and after I blacked out... I had a vision of a some sort of evil shadow witch, but I figured it was just weird thought."

Coran and Allura look at each other. I grit my teeth and clench my fists.

Keith rubs his thumb against my hand, just like I did for him.

I look up to his beautiful violet eyes, filled with concern.

I give a small smile, but I still remain angry.

"It must be Hagar. Zarkon's Witch."

Hunk holds his face.
