Keith's pov

They just came to tourcher us, they chose pidge and lance jumped in the way yelling 'don't touch her'.

We watch as ezor walks closer looming over tiny pidge, but ezor is pushed out of the way and a shot rings through the cell. I squeeze my eyes shut in reaction to the sudden bang.

When I open my eyes I see the blue paladin standing with wide eyes and mouth slightly agape. He looks down then looks back at us his face still frozen with the petrified look.

I look down to his chest and see a hole that had blood pouring out of it. I hear a cackle as see ezor.

"I'll let you watch him die, when I come back we'll see if you want to give us the information we requested"she said with a grin and walks out with the other half galran.

The blue boy chuckles before his body falls out of our vision and a smack is heard.

"Just couldn't help yourself could you."allura says in a dull tone.

"You have to protect everyone."she continues more edge to her words.

"I do my best"he says with a smile and places a hand over the tiny hole in his armour.

"Guys! Rip off his damn armour!"hunk suddenly shouts and falls on his knees i front of lance and stars stripping his white now red chest plate off his body.

But lance puts his hand on hunks and pushes it away as soon as the chest plate is discarded, the black fabric underneath being slightly redder.

Hunk keeps trying to put his hands over lances wound but lance won't let him.

"Lance we need to apply pressure ."hunk says his voice agrivated. Lances skin grows paler, but his smile shines brighter.

"No, I've had just enough time. Escape will be easier if your not dragging my body through the halls. Besides you don't need a useless paladin."lance says, his smile finally growing dimmer.

"Lance your not useless!"pidge speaks up sitting next to lance now also trying to press her hands to the wound.

"No I'm not, you have tolled me to many times how much of a screw up I am, you only noticed that I think of myself this way now. Its funny how when your dying people finally start listening"he says laughing a little, his smile becomes sloppier. Everyone looks shocked and scared.

"Hey just smile, it'll be a while till I die. This is a small wound."lance says, but we all know he won't last long, his breathing gets more choppy, and his face grows even paler while his eyes slowly close up. I sit looking at the boy who seemed so happy while dying, what is going through his head?

"Penny for your thoughts."I say my voice cracking, he gives a breathy chuckle, his eyes half lidded and no longer sparkling.

"Nah, I'm dying now. My thoughts are worth a dollar."he whispers, his words slow and slurred. We all sit in silence before lance answers my question.

"I'm thinking about how happy my family will be when they see me again. Up in the sky...but not as a star. I never wanted to be a star, did you know that?"he asks us, we all shake our heads no.

"I always wanted to be a rainbow, so pretty and magnificent, the best part about rain. When my parents look into the sky after it rains...they will see me again, t-tell....tell th-......"lance starts but his words slurs together, and his eyes slowly close all the way.

"He was so younge....what he never did is done"allura says as she now sits with the rest of us staring at the pale boy who died with a smile.
