m in a mood to write like it's my last day on Earth! Enjoy my children~

"Let's go over what we know-"

"Kam, how many of these meetings have we had between today and yesterday? I think I counted at least five you tried to start, and six I decided not to attend."

This was the Tonks talking, the usually sweet and understanding mechanic, telling Kam that she was holding too many meetings between them. Zoe nodded.

Between today, and the events of yesterday, Johnny was now stable (for the most part-he kept unientionally pulling his stitches, at least, while he was conscious for less than three hours of the day), everyone was constantly on standby, if there was another attack, on the royal family, or whatnot. Though they were told all five would be under close watch, for some reason Zoe was still on edge, and spent almost every waking moment with Johnny, for reasons unknown. Once, Kam had found her sleeping in him room, curled up in a chair. It hurt to see her friend like this.

"Just let her speak okay?" Alex said. Though he was her twin, he barely stand the meetings that Kam constantly held. "It'll make her feel better"

"Okay, first-" she flicked him on the head "I'm sitting right next to you, I can hear everything you say. Second of all, I've been looking over the cameras lately. There's something you really need to see."

"Look, I'm really sorry, but I don't have time for this. We already found what we could've. Maybe it's time to truly leave it to the Force for once." Zoe said, walking out. Probably to go and spend the rest of the day with Johnny.

"Gotta agree. See you later Kam." Tonks said, following Zoe closely.

"You too, huh?" she looked up from her tablet at Alex's retreating figure.

"Yeah, sorry sis."

"Where are you going at 2 in the afternoon?" she asked. He grinned.

"Someone's gotta keep those holos up to date"

"They tried to kill us a while back"

"Water under the bridge"

As Alex disappeared, Kam sighed before turning back to her tablet. What she had wanted to show her reculant teammates, was the small floating purple camera.

How stupid I was to ignore the signs. This is probably why Johnny is lying unconscious in the MedBay. It's been watching us.

It knows us.

Beryle had been watching us for months now.

"You need to eat, you're not robot who can last for hours on end."

Zoe blinked awake, first shooting a look at her watch, stating it was exactly 3am in the morning. A note from both Kam and Alex was on the nightable, but she'd read it later.

Johnny was up, his golden eyes staring back at her. She smiled lightly, almost not being able to see him, remembering she hadn't shut the lights off, but Pidge probably had. Or someone. Whoever it was, they had a tendency to do so when she was asleep.

"I know." she replied, turning on one of the lamps in the room, illuminating most of his face. Other than the fact that he had lost a bit of weight from being stuck in a coma for over a week, he was no different than when he had been up and about annoying the crap out of people.

And still just adorable as ever.

"Have you eaten anything other than air in the last twenty-four hours, or are you just starving yourself watching over me, planning on how to murder me in my helpless state?" he asked, cracking a chuckle, and then coughing up a racket.

"I ate something."

"Like?"

"Half of Kam's granola bar...seven hours ago.." Zoe said apologetically. Johnny quietly laughed, smiling.

"Nice to know someone worries about me. To the point they're starving themselves." he said, looking back at her.

They were quiet for a moment, only the sound of the ceiling fan whirring was the only thing allowing Zoe to keep her sanity.

Before she really knew what was happening, Johnny was leaning over, his lips on hers. Zoe's face was bright red, but she kissed back, not really knowing what she was doing, or even really caring.

The pulled apart only for air, and Zoe felt like her face was almost on fire. Even Johnny's was only a dash around his cheeks, but he smiled anyways.

"You look like a tomato" he said, bringing Zoe back to normal-town. She got up, waving a silent good-bye as he returned it, shutting the door.

Kam eventually headed off to go and check up on Zoe, who she hadn't seen in the past few hours, which wasn't necessarily worry-worthy, since Zoe was always gone for a few hours at a time, not showing up for meals and such, but that was normal. Never had she not seen Zoe come to the table for dinner though, even if it was just to chat with the other cadets.

Opening the door to Johnny's room, her friend was no where to be found. Johnny was waving hello, and then asking where Zoe was. Kam shrugged.

"She wasn't in here a few minutes ago, she just disappeared I guess." he said, swinging his legs over the bed and getting up, tossling his hair.

"Okay..." Kam said, not really caring. Zoe was probably with Pidge or Tonks. No reason to worry.

But she did worry when she checked with the Force and the rest of the cadets, and none had seen Zoe as of late. Even then, panic levels weren't too high. Some days she'd just want to be alone and wander the halls late into the night without realizing it.

She and everyone else did search the castle, but either Zoe was moving too fast for them, nobody found her. Zoe was literally MIA.

Johnny was on edge for some reason, but Kam didn't question it. It was late and nobody was searching anything properly due to exhaustion, so Alex set out the re-wired spy drone to hunt for Zoe in the castle before everyone went to bed.

Even the next morning, checking the footage from the camera, nothing proved that Zoe was still in the castle, and Allura probably would've been alerted if a villager saw Zoe wandering around the village. Though none came after interogatting most of the villagers.

Nobody has seen Zoe in over 24 hours, so panic-levels were skyrocketing among the team members.

"Can I just have one day where we're all accounted for, 30 days where none of us get skewered like meat, and we don't have robeast trying to eat us all?" Kam asked after she sat the remaining three cadets down in her room.

"Yeah well, I feel bad for you."

Later that day, while most of the cadets were off doing their own thing, Allura found Lance and called him over.

"You might want to look at this"
