"What do you mean where is she?" Keith looked at his fellow paladins, "I thought she came up here when we returned." All the paladins shook their heads.
"We thought she was with you." Shiro says walking over to Keith.
"No, she's not with me I haven't seen her since we fled down the hall." Keith said panic starting to rise in his voice.
"Everybody calm down. She's probably just relaxing in her room hacking or something." Lance said. Everyone took a deep breath.
"You're probably right Lance." Allura said, " I'll go and see."
" I'll come with you." Keith said standing up.
Allura and Keith walked down the hall way. They walked through several corridors before they stood in front of Pidge's door. Allura motioned for Keith took knock and took a step back so that she was standing behind him. He stepped forward and hesitated before he knocked on the door twice. Nothing. He looked back at Allura but she just shrugged her shoulders. He tried two more times. Still nothing. He tried again but this time he called out her name. "Pidge? It's me Keith." Still nothing. By this point Allura was pacing behind Keith.
"I have had enough of this!" She stepped forward and pressed a button. The door slid open revealing Pidge's room. "Pidge?" Allura said not hesitating to walk right through the door. Keith started to walk through the door when Allura rushed past him and down the hallway.
Wondering what could have caused her to react like that he walked farther into the room.
Empty.
That one word that echoed in his mind. The room was empty except for Pidge's devices there was no sign of the little green Paladin. Keith couldn't believe it. He slowly started to back away to shocked to turn himself around. He backed into a wall but didn't seem to care he just sank to the floor, staring at noting in particular. Its my fault...
Allura didn't stop running until she got to the bridge. She startled the three paladins and Coran as she burst through the door out of breath.
"P-Pidge is-" she stopped to take a breath. Shiro stood up and walked over to the princess.
"Pidge is what?" The other three people in the room gathered around the princess. Allura looked up and said the three words no one wished to hear.
"Pidge isn't there." Allura sank to the floor completely in shock and on the verge of tears. Coran wrapped her in a hug as she started to sob uncontrollably.
Lance couldn't believe his ears. He thought he heard right but wasn't quite sure. "Pidge...isn't...here...?" He turned away and walked to a window looking out it as he took in what he just heard.
Hunk had left for the kitchen saying something about how baking helped him process stuff.
Shiro was the only one who kept his emotions in check but didn't keep his place in the room. He decided that it would be a good idea to go find Keith. He walked along the corridors until he found the door to Pidge's room open. Peeking inside he found Keith in the room leaning against the wall staring at nothing in particular, a single tear made a path down his cheek.
"Keith?" Shiro knelt down to look Keith in the eyes but Keith just ignored him. Then he turned to look at Shiro his eyes glistening with the pain that Shiro felt when he looked at his fellow paladin feeling miserable.
"It's all my fault."
