Pidge's POV

He bolted out of them room as the alarms were blaring in my ear. His eyes held determination, I knew he'd come back safe. I cracked a small smile. Limping I walked out the room, heading out towards Allura. Since Shiro had said that he wouldn't allow me to go on missions unless my ankle was fully recovered, I knew I'd be hopeless.

  Walking down the corridors, my mind felt like it was in a trance. Seeing the same walls over and over again. It just repeated, never changed. No pictures either. I guess it was an Altean thing.

Not realizing it until now, but my leg was grounded. Keeping me from moving on. I looked down to see my calf had been bleeding this whole time. Hm. Bleeding?! It wasn't a lot, only as if someone took a thick needle and inserted it into my leg and let it bled out. I soon dropped to the floor, as I my standing leg was my current injured ankle.

"Perfect. Take her now that she's unable to escape."

I turned my head to hear a deep voice coming closer to me, as I struggled to understand who it was. Sendak. I flipped my head back, thinking of ways to run. Thinking of ways to get to Allura.

"Hello green paladin." His voice was right next to my ear. In the corner of my eye I could see him crotched down, gun at my head. I pressed my eyes closed, scared of him pressing the trigger. I couldn't do much. I didn't have my armor, bayard, my lion. I had nothing. I had to give up. I let out a sigh showing I surrendered. I didn't know what they were gonna do. My thoughts wandered. I opened my eyes turning to Sendak. He had a dark and devious smile. Soon the hallway went pitch black, only allowing me to scream for a slight moment.

Allura's POV

"The ships are.... fleeing?"

"Yeah better run!"

"Lance, this doesn't seem right."

"Guys I think we're done."

Done? That was too easy of a battle. Looking back at the ships in reassurance. They were fleeing. Something doesn't seem right.

"I agree with Shiro. Something here doesn't seem right." I focused back on the lions. And where is Pidge?

"Maybe Pidge has an idea on this?" The confused yellow paladin asked.

"She's not here." I answered him looking back around the room searching for here. Nope.

"What? Wasn't she here before the mission started?" The red paladin seemed to be getting a little. Ticked. "She just can't disappear like that." He ended.

"Maybe there's a reason? She probably went to her lion." The blue paladin said trying to calm down the raged Keith.

"I'll check." I looked back at the castle's cameras. She's not there....

"Um guys? She's not there." I was panicking now.

"She probably fell. Remember her ankle is injured." Shiro said calmly. How could he be calm knowing that she disappeared.

"Coran could you see if you pick up any recent heat signatures in the past ticks?" I asked. Coran only nodded turning back to his screen. After a few moments the paladins grew anxious. To be honest, I did as well.

"The Galra ships fleeing only when we came out and now Pidge disappearing. I don't have a good feeling about this." I frantically searched through the cameras once more.

"Allura it's fine-." The blue paladin got cut off by a scream coming from the corridors on the other side of the room. It's Pidge.

"What's that?" He asked as soon as it had stopped.

"PIDGE!" I screamed back, hoping she'll say something.

"The Galra, Sendak. He's in the castle." Coran blurted. All the paladins eyes widened and so did mine.

"What!" Shiro shouted. He was trying not to accept Cowan's answer.

"All paladins back to the castle before he escapes. NOW!" I cried. What if that's why Pidge screamed. I may not know about Earth beings that much, but seeing her this morning I know she can't do much because of something Shiro had called her ankle.

"It's too late." Coran sinking his head down.
"They took her. They took the green paladin." He slammed his fist down.

No. How could we let this happen? I looked back at the hallway. Pidge.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Pidge's POV

I woke up in a blur, not understanding at all what just occurred. This isn't Lance's room and it's definitely not mine. I tried to examine the room but it was poorly lit. Maybe it was because my eyes haven't gotten used to this lighting, but one thing I knew for certain was. Purple. Then memories started pouring in my head as if it was a moment of realization. I was captured. Another thing I would've never excepted to happen to me.

Before I even got the chance to take in that I was actually captured by Sendak, the door slid open.

"Hello, green paladin. It seems like you've waken up." I looked up frightened. In front of me was basically a purple furry. Like an evil Chucky Cheese character.

"What would you want?" I snickered.

"Well you are in my prison. I guess you'd have to repay me in some way." Walking closer to me, holding a sword in one hand and his other was balled into a fist.

"This crap of place isn't free? I guess I really lucked out huh?" I stared him in the eye as he was right in front of me now. He drew his sword and sliced something above my head.
My arms plummeted on my lap. I haven't even noticed that they were in chains this whole time. He picked up the remaining chain attached to my cuffs.

"Now are you ready for some fun?" He chuckled dragging me out of the cell I was in. I tried kicking, but doing that only hurt my sprained ankle more.

He pulled me down another corridor. As these halls were lighted I could see that I was dressed in Galra prisoner outfit. Seeming a little different from the ones we've seen before. Only difference was the one I was wearing now is a dress. A dark purple rag of a dress covered my body up until my knees. I could even hear my brother saying sarcastically. "How scandalous."

We then passed a room, brighter than the hallway and anything I've seen in this ship  so far. There was a single operating table in the room and a tray next to it. I couldn't see what was on it though, I was too far down to even see the top of it. Sendak stopped in front of the door that was connected to that room. Now understanding I shouted.

"No don't!" My voice was stern.

"You have no choice. As a paladin of Voltron you must face the punishment. Torture is an easy punishment. You must be lucky for Zarkon has taken a liking to you." He didn't look back at me at all. Not even a slight bit of sorry or hurt when he tortured me too. Electrified, cut in a few places, beaten up too. Not in that order though.

It seemed like he had taken pride in his work. For the past week, I never slept. For one reason, that being that he never let me slept. Apparently sleeping is a gift, something to rejoice after. Even if it was for 10 ticks. It didn't bother me at first but after a while all I want to do is sleep.

The cell I woke up at, I rarely saw. He would usually keep me in the operation room. Unless he decide that he decided that that day I needed a cut mark then he'd leave me bleed out for a couple of minutes in the cell. Honestly as painful as it was, it was the only time I didn't have to see his face. Which is always a blessing.

Most of my time were spent in the operation room. He'd ask me questions about Voltron. Asking me to tell secrets or else I'd be electrocuted. I always was electrocuted. Depending on the day, he's also beat me up. Only if he's in a bad mood and needs a punching bag. But for an ugly face like that when is he not?

By the end of the week I ended up with a broken arm and leg, bruises all over, and a few cuts here and there. Good things about the end of the week was he'd leave a whole day for solitude. With only a device that would shock me when I tried to sleep. I guess it wasn't so bad. On my first week being there I had the same thoughts as any prisoner. Voltron will come and save me. And Lance, he'll definitely be the one to find me before anyone else. Right?

Leaving me and my thoughts for a whole idea was bad. Especially since the voice came back.

They won't come.

You never know.

Probably rejoicing. The short and annoyingly smart girl was gone. Who wouldn't be happy?

Annoying? Am I annoying?

No one wants to listen to you rant.

But he did.

Ha. Only a sight of pity. Remember Katie, no one liked you back at middle school. Why do you think it'd change at high school? Wouldn't it just get worse.

I don't know. I just thought they were different from everyone else. I thought he was.

They're not coming.

...

Accept it. Repeat after me. No one

No one.

Likes you

Likes me.

Because I am worthless.

I am worthless.

Game over, Katie.

I closed my eyes trying to hold back tears. Why didn't I see it earlier. The voice was right this whole time. I ran through my hair with my functioning hand.  I guess Voltron isn't coming. I curled up into a ball, like I usually do and sobbed. All day. Knowing that no one will come for me, that no one ever liked me, or that I'll probably die here next week.

The door slid open, tried to not looking up, but a something crashed on the floor. Catching my attention. Quickly as I did, I saw body laying on the ground. I was confused.

"#4066 Matt Holt." Those words, Matt. I looked back at the body hoping it would look up at me. "Is dead." Sendak continued. "#4045 Sam Holt is now in custody and will be bought to this room for his ending." My eyes watered. I didn't want to show me being weak in front of Sendak, but I just did. I tried screaming, crying, anything. I only wanted him to stop. "#5021 Katie Holt will be set free back to Voltron once Sam is declared dead." My eyes widened. Is this what they planned? Capture me, torture, then to top the cake off he'd kill my family members in front of me, then THEN he'd set me free. Why? "Matt and Sam Holt's last wishes were to send my daughter and sister free." My eyes glued to Matt. His skin color was so pale, paler then it used to be. I checked to see if he was breathing. Nothing. This is what's gonna happen to dad? No don't let it be true. I looked back at Sendak with rage, almost wanting to kill him off, to only see my dad right in front of him.

"Katie." He looked speechless. I was too. I could only cry. He fell towards me, trying to not disturb Matt's body. He gave me a hug. A hug so warm and tight, but was taken away from me so soon. A sword struck through his back. He looked down to see his chest gushing with red. Glancing back up he tried to say. "I love you." Before his body became lifeless just like the other one on the floor. My hands were red. I could only stare back and forth from my brother and dad then back to my hands.

"The deed is done, time to go green paladin." Sendak said to me, motioning me to stand up, so he could pull me out the room. But I stayed kneeling down staring at them. Letting my dress and knees soak in the blood that came from my father. "My goodness what a mess." I'm sure that's what he'd say. "Looks like it's that time of month." Matt would jokingly say, knowing it would always get me mad.

I still had not moved from my spot. This irritated Sendak. Moving from his position at the door he stepped over the bodies as if he never even cared. Which he never did. He took my neck chain and dragged me out the room. With me refusing and pushing, only trying to stay with the passes family members. He then slapped me across my face. I tried reaching to my cheeks, but he already began pulling once more.

I was dragging blood along as we made our way to the pods. He deciding best sent me to an escape pod. Throwing me inside he waved goodbye. I could only crawl up in a corner, staring at the blood that was stained on my dress. Before he closed the pod he threw a jacket inside. I don't care about it I only looked down. I felt when we weren't sent off the Galra ship and probably making our way to the Castle of Lions. I closed my eyes, cause in the first time in a week I could without being punished.

Time skip~~
Third POV

The paladins and princess stared into space as they saw a pod coming close to the Castle.
All of their eyes beaming as they rushed and made their way to wear it should be taken in.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Pidge's POV

The pod door slid open and I looked up, the first since Sendak had sent me off. I saw everybody. I could see Hunk, Lance, and Allura tearing up. Shiro looking relived and even Keith looked happy to see me, but all faces dropped as soon as they saw my condition. My dress drenched in blood, my face in tears, and not to mention all the bruises and cuts on the revealing skin. I didn't stare much as they did. I simply looked back down, hand in my hair. Still curdled up in a ball and I wasn't planning on moving soon. Tears kept rolling down my face as the pictures of Matt and my dad dead in front me.

Shiro had walked up to me his hand held out. Oddly it scared me, so much I pushed farther back into the corner, shutting my eyes. The only words that could come out was. "No, don't hurt me." Shiro then removes his hand from my reach, he gave the group a few glances before putting his focus back on me.
"Do you know who I am?" I opened my eyes. I was confused, why would he ask such a silly question.
"Shiro, Keith, Lance, Hunk, and Allura." I pointed to each of them when I called out their names. "Keith is a hot head. Lance is a ladies man. Hunk is a great cook. Allura is the princess. And Shiro is the captain." I continued. "Then there's the mice, and Coran. He's the wise old man." I showed a weak fake smile. "So yes I do know who you are." Shiro's eyes widened. As he was amazed.
"Oh of course, how could you forget? Then Pidge would you come inside?" I haven't heard my name been said that way in a while. My eyes looked back at him. I shook my head. "No." Lance called out from the side. "Why not, Pidge?" I hated it when they called me Pidge. It made me feel useless. Katie was no better. So I'd rather go with my birth name. "I want to stay in this pod." I demanded.
"But Pidge your hurt you can't." Hunk pleaded.
"Katherine. Call me my name not my nickname." Everyone was shocked.
"Ok then. Katherine your hurt, your bleeding." Keith continued for Hunk.
"This is not my blood." I looked down at my dress. I could tell everyone was perplexed. "This blood is my father's." Allura's face had gone from alarmed to worry.
"Katherine, what did you do?" She questioned. Everyone seemed more aroused at Allura's question then everything that happened.
"Sendak killed him in front of me. Along with  Matt." Shiro's face flipped back to me. "I didn't not kill him, I only tried to embrace him before he died." I stared Allura in the eye now.
"I never accused you." She started to panic, I could tell she thought I did.
"Leave me alone now. Everyone." I honestly needed to be alone. Everyone left one by one starting off with Allura, ending with Lance. He stayed the longest. I didn't mind as much since all he did was stand there, he didn't make any interactions which I'm glad. I only looked back at my rag of a dress thinking that maybe Matt and dad didn't die. Before Lance left he had told me something. Something that he said would help me cope.

"I'm always here. In my room with peanut butter cookies, KillBot, a set of arms and ears, and a box of tissues waiting for you. And I'll wait for as long as you need."

A/N: Hi. Longer chapter than usual and a whole lot more angst than planned. I know there wasn't really Plance in this chapter, but I promise you there is some in the next. Hopefully. Bye~
