Wake Me Up~A Sequel to Don't You Trust Me

Chapter 6

"Just enough so that she's not dead by morning."

The druid nodded his head in understanding before stepping into Lance's cell. Zhamoht stepped into the room right next to the cell. This room provided a window into the cell allowing sight inside.

The druid knelt over Lance. It hovered its hands over the blood streaked torn skin that was the body of Lance. He began to mumble a chant. One by one the cuts began to seamlessly close and it wasn't long before Lance began to stir.

The Druid, having finished his work, turned to the mirror and bent forward into a bow. He then rose and exited from the cell.

Zhamoht remained in the chair. His elbow rested on the arm of the chair, hand supporting his head. The Castle of lions, an enemy willingly flown into battle with his ship, in order to rescue this girl they called the blue paladin. 

He watched as Lance pulled herself to a sitting position. She glanced around the cell as if she had forgotten where she was. Remembering that she was still captured she slumped back against the cell wall, head pressed against the wall. She began to whisper to herself from where it sat it  sounded like she was saying 'I'm sorry'. She repeated it over and over again. She continued even after the tears broke free from their pools that had gathered in her eyes.

The last thing Zhamoht saw before he left the room was Lance pulling her knees close to her chest.

He was met outside the door by Haggar. She had a frown upon her face that wasn't normal for her.

"We're running out of time." She said before he had a chance to speak a word. "The longer you allow her to sit in that cell, the more of a chance the paladins have to find us and rescue her." She poked a finger at his chest, "You can't let that happen." She glanced towards the cell door before looking back at Zhamoht. "You will get the information that we need and then you will get rid of her!" She hissed to him before turning and disappearing down the hall.

"She was practically dead when we found her," Pidge whispered to Hunk. They were both currently standing outside the infirmary a glass window between them and Haitheil. 

Haitheil was laying in a bed unconscious, cuts and bruises decorated her face but the main thing that was concerning was the two gun wounds in her shoulder and leg. She had lost a lot of blood before they found her. She had been laying in the brush with a dead intern that had been blasted through the neck. Lance had been no where to be found and they could only assume that she had been taken. 

Shiro stepped out from talking with the medical team on base. "We're going to move her to the castle so they can use our healing pods, as their's is currently under maintenance. Can you guys help keep watch for any more threats?"

Pidge and Hunk both nodded at their leader. The base was still recovering from the hits they had taken, not only physically but emotionally as well. With only one attack their leader and the Paladin's friend was gone. The last thing they needed was another attack so soon after losing so much.

It wasn't long before Haitheil was ready for transfer and she was loaded into the black lion. Shiro, the two medics and Haitheil all left for the castle which was parked a ways from the base.

"I sure hope Lance is alright," Hunk said. "She was thrown into so much this past month." 

"This is Lance we're talking about Hunk, She can handle anything!" Pidge replied, she had been smiling before a thought brought a frown to her face. "If Haggar's involved then we need to figure out where she is."
