Chapter Text
Pidge was wondering how they ended up here. And by they she meant her and Keith. They were currently on a galra ship in a prison cell.
Pidge remembered the events that led up to this moment. They were sent on this mission to gather information about the empires next steps. Keith was on guard while pidge hacked into the system but unfortunately this ''simple plan' as shiro likes to call it went downhill fast.
Haggar and 30 galran soldiers attacked both of them. Keith tried fending them off and pidge had tried to help while simultaneously checking the information that they had. To put it bluntly they were overwhelmed and were now stuck in this cell, without there weapons, armor, they couldn't even contact the others on the Castle ship.
Keith was now pacing back-and-forth in their tiny cell as pidge watched. For a while she had a crush on him, but she never acted on her feelings. She didn't know if he felt the same about her.
When they found out Keith was part galra her feelings didn't change instead they grew. Whenever she was around him she feel safe and less vulnerable as if nothing could harm her when Keith was around.
Inwardly pidge side Keith would never feel the same about her she was plain and simple. There was nothing special about her... Now Allura she was someone special. She was beautiful, a great speaker and on top of all of that a princess!
Pidge had multiple times wondered if Keith felt something towards Allura. She never bothered to ask... Less he did have feelings. She did not want her heart broken... Again. She shook her head they had to find a way out of here before something terrible happened.

Keith stopped pacing and raced his head sharply up to see Haggar standing outside of the cell two guards flanking her on either side. The door opened with a loud screech that made the two paladins wince.
"Come with me boy... Or else the girl comes with me." She said glancing behind him to stare at pidge.
Keith didn't move for a few more minutes. He only stood there in front of pidge glaring at haggar. He didn't know why, but he had an urge to protect her for some odd reason. He knew that pidge could take care of herself... But still something in his gut told him to protect her from the witch.
Haggar frowned. " I see... So willing to protect her... " The witches eyes then seem to grow wide as she stared directly at Keith.
"prince azarey... No... He died 10,000 years ago... How..."
Haggar shook out of her shocked trance. In a fit of sudden rage she commanded. "Bring me the girl! The Boy will fight in the arena for seven days! let's see how long he'll survive!"
"No!" Keith yelled as he was thrown aside.
A guard roughly picked up pidge by the scruff of her neck. She struggled trying to release herself from the guards strong hold, but the galra wasn't letting up. Pidge kept on struggling as they took her away from the cell.
Keith scramble to his feet and charged towards the door, but it swiftly slammed close in front of his face. It might've been hours, it might've been minutes, but to Keith it felt like an eternity as he threw himself at the unmoving door.
The only thing running through his mind was...
‘Katie... No... Katie... Katie...’
