Chapter 4


Lance was busy reading books about alchemy to continue his studies when he hears a knock on the door and says "That must be Hunk and Pidge" but when he sees who it is through the doorlock, he sees it's only Lotor dressed in elegant clothing ans groans in disappointment when Lotor opens the door with a smile as Lance gives him a fake smile and says "Lotor, what a pleasant surprise" Lotor smirks "Isn't it though? I'm just full of surprises. You know Lance, there's not a girl in town who would love to be in your shoes. This is the day your dreams come true" Lance asks "What do you know about my dreams, Lotor?"

Lotor replies "Plenty. Here, picture this! A rustic hunting hunting lodge and cabin, my latest kill roasting and my little wife massaging my feet while the little ones play one the floor with the dogs. We'll have six or seven" Lance asks "Dogs?" Lotor replies "No Lance, strapping boys like me" Lance says "Imagine that" but when Lotor asks "And do you know who that little wife will be?" Lance replies "Let me think" Lotor says "You, Lance" Lance gasps "Lotor, I'm speechless. I really don't know what to say" Lotor pins Lance to the door and demands "Say you'll marry me" Lance says "I'm very sorry, Lotor but I just don't deserve you" 

Lance opens the door causing Lotor to fall into a mud puddle while Hunk and Pidge arrive and when they see Lotor covered in mud, Hunk asks "Uh, what did we miss?" Pidge asks "What's the matter, Lotor? Don'tell me, let me guess. Another day, another rejection from Lance" Lotor stands up and glares "I'll have Lance for my wife! Make no mistake about that" and leaves in anger at such a humiliation as Hunk scoffs "Touchy" Pidge agrees "You know it" Lance closes the door after Hunk and Pidge get inside and Lance asks "Is he gone?" Hunk and Pidge reply "Yes" Lance scoffs "Can you guys imagine? He asked me to marry him! Me! The wife of that boorlish, brainless" Hunk asks "Bulkhead?" Pidge replies "He was gonna say "Showoff" but that works too plus he deserves it"

Lance sighs "When is Lotor gonna come to his senses? I don't wanna marry him, I wanna someone who loves for just being me and understands me better than anyone else except you guys" Hunk says "Exactly! We're your best friends, we support you and help you with your alchemical studies/homework" Pidge agrees "Yes and we help bring in enough tools for him to build his inventions and all the ladies in the viallge are jealous of your beauty but you're mothan that. You're smart, fun and you love animals" Lance smiles and says "You guys know me so well" Hunk says "You better belive it" Pidge agrees "You know we do"

Meanwhile at night, four women walk in the woods having a picnic while one woman asks "What does Lotor see in that bookworm anyway? I'm much more prettier than he is" the second woman replies "Obviously his beauty! The nerve of that Lance. He doesn't belong here" the third woman agrees "I'll bet my birthing hips are 100% more fertile than his and he can't get pregnant, he's a guy"  the fourth woman scoffs "There's no way that freak is gonna be Lotor's future wife! He doesn't even wear a dress" but they don't notice two purple eyes watching them from behind the bushes and as one of the women feel something brush against her back and makes a distressed gasp and the first woman asks "What's wrong?" 

The fourth woman nervously replies "Something touched me" the second woman scoffs "Don't be ridiculous, nobody knows we're there" but when the second woman sees something, she screams and points at what she's looking as the other woman look at a seven foot creature with wolf ears, a tail and glowing purple eyes growling at them causing all four women to scream and run away in fear but the wolf creature didn't chase them, he just stands there watching them leave for some reason and finds that they left their food behind, takes the basket and the blanket and leaves but when one of the four women notice it and screams "That beast stole our food and picnic blanket" the second woman says "Leave them! There's more back at the village" and they continue running back to the village

Meanwhile, Lance, Hunk and Pidge are having dinner tonight since Lance is having garlic knots, Hunk is having loco moco and Pidge is having ravioli when Hunk asks "Hey Lance, your uncle's coming back from the fair, right?" Lance replies "Yes, he said he'll be back tomorrow with the first prize and if he comes back without first prize, there's always next year as I always tell him" Pidge says "Well, you know what my mom always says "Either you come home a winner or don't come home at all" but you make a better point" that's when they hear four women screaming, run outside to find out what's happening and they hear one woman say "Horrible, seven feet tall" the second woman bawl "Razor sharp teeth. Horrible" the thrid woman agrees "It just came out of nowhere and stood up on two legs" the fourth woman wails "It touched me and stole our food and our picnic blanket"

Lance, Hunk and Pidge gasp as Lotor arrives at the scene and asks "What seem to be the problem, ladies?" the four woman hug Lotor as the firts woman tearfully replies "Oh Lotor, you have to help! It's terrible" the second woman sobs "There was this wolf creature with glowing eyes and sharp fangs" the third woman says "And it was so scary an" the fourth woman interrupts "And it tried to kill us! You have to kill that beast" Lotor smiles proudly and says "Fear not, citizens of Altea! I will hunt down this wolf and will never rest until it's head is hung up on my wall and its fur is used as my coat" the women cheer for Lotor and when he says "But first, I need a volunteer to go with me" the women just shudder in fear of facing the wolf but they still have a crush on Lotor nevertheless

Lotor asks "Someone? Anyone? Is there a volunteer?" Lance starts thinking about it since he doesn't like Lotor but his heart would at the sight of a poor animal being killed so he raises his hand and says "I volunteer" the villagers gasp in shock as Lotor smirks "Very well Lance, you'll come with me" the women glare at Lance with jealousy and thought they should go with Lotor instead of Lance as Hunk asks "Lance, are you sure it's safe?" Pidge agrees "There's a reason no one goes to the woods. It's dangerous" Lance replies "I'm not afraid of any wolf. I know how to go to the woods" 

Lance walks towards Lotor and says "I volunteer but on one condition. I must follow the path I always take and I don't want you harming innocent creatures even if it's a wolf" Lotor smirks "So you have agreed after all. Very well then Lance, I shall accompany you and we can face this monster together" Lance glares "Lotor, I didn't say we should go. I should face the beast alone" Hunk says "I volunteer to go with but only because I don't want Lance to die" Pidge agrees "Ditto" Lotor says "Consider it done" and they leave to go to the woods and follow the path Lance knows while Hunk and Pidge worry about their friend's safety and his life and the villagers wave goodybye and wish them good luck but what Lance doesn't know was that someone is already waiting for him. Someone who is definitely not entirely human. Someone who is a wolf
