Lances POV
"Lance you useless shit head! Move your fat ass!"piece shouts from behind me, her green bracelet glowing evilly almost as if mocking me. I could feel my self esteem drop at the words she spoke but they were slowly becoming numb to me. I just bite my lip and step out of the way. each weak every paladin had been given a bracelet that made them say the truths on their mind, first week was shiro, next was Keith, then hunk, and pidges week is ending soon. Everyone said terrible things to me and about me, I could see the look of panic on their faces as they were forced to say their true thoughts about me. I've endured their terrible words, from slurs to how I act femininely to my inability, to perform as well as the rest of the team, and words telling me how flawed my personality is. They all agreed with me, I was useless, I was a seventh wheel, the stupid one, the goof ball, a waste of space. They tip toe around me now, or they snap at me, why hide how they feel now, I know how their hatred burns their insides scorching their hearts and putting them in pain. I could feel tears starting to flow down my cheek and I wipe it away and run off to my room. Ever since the whole ordeal started I had been slicing into my skin more And gone as far as to steal Altean sleeping pills from the medical room to fall asleep for hours just so I didn't have to listen to my thoughts...joke was on me cause I was forced into a dream where their words of hatred were thrown at me rapidly and in different more heart crushing scenarios.
When they say something rude about me, I don't fight back, I just comply and put on the widest smile.
Time skip
I feel my eyes open, and I stand up on shaky legs, I curse at myself for passing out once again in the training room, the idea of someone finding me and them speaking their truth about how weak I was entering my mind and sending a small shiver down my spine.
I speed walk to my room and clean myself off, once I'm done I walk to the training room where everyone else is, they look at me angrily l.
"Good fucking job lance, glad your the only one late...again, god can't you actually be useful and get up on time for once!"pidge says, her green bracelet still glowing a bright green. Allura just sighs and I take a seat.
"I don feel like this bracelet will do much, lance usually speaks all his stupid ideas."shiro says, I feel a knife stab my stomach letting cold air entering my stomach freezing it up and leaving me more numb then before, yet still sad at the same time.
Matt's pov
I walk into the training room to observe the change, I had done so with every paladin and wrote down how they actually think and what there truths are, in the end we will go over them all and compare the truth to their fake.
"Get ready to see a stupider, and more cheerful lance."Keith sighs. Allura takes the bracelet off pidge her eyes glow pure green then they go to normal the bracelets glowing stops and it is no longer glowing. Allura then places the bracelet on lance roughly then walks away, pushing his arm away from her slightly. The bracelet glows a blue and lances eyes glow blue before turning back to their normal color. His demeanor changes slightly he slouches more and his face drops completely, now you can see the huge purple bags under his eyes and how his skin is paler, you can see his cheeks and chin have a sharper look to them, from everyone else's facial expressions you could tell they could also see the change from him just changing his stance.
Everyone sits in awkward silence.
"Uh lance?"pidge asks, lance turns emotionless to face pidge his movements looking like a robots...usually I'm fascinated by robots but this was just terrifying. He just stares at pidge as if waiting for her to finish her talking, he doesn't part his lips to say a word, not a noise can be heard from the boy.
"You okay?"keith asks, you could see lance struggle to keep his mouth shut and a panick look over takes his eyes shrinking his pupils.
"I'm never okay."his mouth forces itself open.
"What?"hunk asks confusion setting itself aflame in his expression.
"You don't ask me that a lot...when you do ask I lie...so I'm gonna tell you the truth, no. No I'm not okay."lance says, his voice cold and devoid of all emotion. The room is silent and you can see a clear distressed look cross his futures.
"Don't stop! Keep talking, don't let the room fall to silence!"lance shouts out quickly.
"What why?"shiro asks.
"The voices, I-i can't make them stop, they don't like this, I-I don't like this. "Lance stutters our and he looks nervously down at the bracelet.
"I didn't think I would hate this as much as I do now...b-but this is terrible."his hand lifts up and it leaves for the bracelet before stoping.
"N....no I can...I can do this."he stutters out. Tears form in the corner of his eyes and he bites his lip.
"Lance you okay?"hunk asks. Lance looks over at him and shakes his head no frantically. I was about to say something to him when he grips his head tightly.
"Stop! No more please! I-i can't take this! Stop!"he shouts and he falls from from the chair he was in to the floor, he bends himself so his knees and forehead are on the ground and his hands shakily grip his hair pulling the strands father and father from his head.
"Lance..."allura says wearily getting closer to him. He sits up straight fast and looks at the bracelet. He grabs the bracelet and try's to pry it away from his arm.
"No more! Get it off! Get it off!"he shouts and pulls it frantically. He turns to allura tears falling to the floor.
"Get it off of me! Now. Now! NOW!" He shouts, his eyes seeming to go father into another world and his movements more frantic and distressed.
"Lance what's going on?!"I ask frantically, and step closer to the boy.
"The voices."he says and looks into the distance.
"Your bracelet is setting them free, making them impossible to shut up, making them more powerful...b-because it's the truth, your bracelet isn't only working on me it's working on my voices....sTOP THEM! GET IT OFF ME!"he shouts. The words making us all even more scared.
"Lance we can't take it off till a week passes, it's impenetrable, and it has a timer for a full week on, we can't take it off."allure says a sadness I had never seen in her eyes. Lances eyes grow wide and Remain wide. He grabs his arm and pulls at the bracelet tugging it back and forth up and down on his arm making small cuts from the edges form on him.
A crazed look sets in his eyes and he runs off. I start chasing after him the others behind me. We finally make it to Keith's room, where we see lance on Keith's bed, Keith's sword in his hand, and a bloody stump as his other arm, on the ground lays the other half of his arm, on this half the bracelet remains on him. The crazed look still in his eyes and shaky smile spreads onto his face. He turns his face slowly towards us, his head and hands twitching slightly. He was insane, and it terrified me.
"Lance?"I ask him taking a shaky step towards him.
"ThE bRacLetS gOnE bUT I StILl hEaR tHem."he whispers out his voice is shaky and his lips quiver.
What had we done.
