"Lost Memories"
Part 5
~It's been a month since Keith found my journal, I wonder if he read any of it. No he wouldn't, he's not that type of man. I can't believe all of the things I did! But most of all, I wish my hair would grow faster. Ever since the accident Dr. Gorma had to shave a part of my hair in the front, so to even the length I had to cut it.
I've started a new journal so I could sort out things. All of the boys are helping me relearn the Blue Lion controls. I'm trying to remember all I can, but nothing is falling into place. Arus has had some minor attacks from Doom, but no robeasts...yet. We're anticipating a major attack from Prince Lotor since it has been unusually quiet. Keith hates it when it's like this. Boy, does that man pace and worry; to top it off he gets anal all the time. He needs to relax, but he doesn't seem the type to want to relax.
A lot has happened in a month, so much so that this is the only time I've had to myself. I was released from Dr. Gorma's care about a week ago. He says I still have to take it easy, Nanny and Coran will make sure of that. I've noticed from what I've read in my journal about my feelings towards Keith, that I'm finding myself falling in love with him all over again. He's been so patient with me, knowing the life he had with me before my amnesia. For his sake, I'm doing the best I can and trying to spend as much time with him as possible. I am still wearing his engagement ring, even though it feels weird to without my memories.
I'm trying to get use to this castle, I never knew my father had this one built. Everyone's been so patient with me, I'm thankful to have people that care about me.
~Allura~
"Here are the latest reports from GG intelligence," said Keith passing a folder to each at the table. "It doesn't look good for us."
"The activity on Doom has stopped!" exclaimed Lance.
"Right, that means that they could be on their way to Arus or already be here," replied Keith. "Coran and I will be monitoring the sensors every 30 minutes."
"Hunk and I will go warn the villagers," said Pidge.
"Lance and I will double our security checks," replied Sven with a nod from Lance.
"Let Lotor try and get past us!" smirked Lance ready for battle.
"Good. Just one more thing," said Keith slowly while focusing his gaze on Allura. "I'm sorry Allura, but you will need to stay within the castle."
"I will most certainly not!" exclaimed Allura as she heard a groan from Keith and Coran. "I will not let that Prince Lotor keep me a prisoner in my own castle!"
"Your Highness, please see reason," bargained Coran, "it is only for you safety and only until this attack is over."
"Coran, I will not let my people think that I am a coward!" countered Allura. "I was hoping to go with Hunk and Pidge to warn my people about the impending attack."
"Princess, I know we can't stop you from doing this," replied Keith staring into her eyes, "but please remember that your safety is our responsibility."
"I understand, I don't plan on doing anything foolish!" answered Allura.
"Alright,...Coran please," replied Keith and cutting off Coran before he spoke, "Hunk, Pidge, I want you to take your lions. Princess you'll ride with Hunk. Dismissed."
"Thank you Keith!" smiled Allura as she kissed him on the cheek.
"Hunk, Pidge, watch her!" ordered Keith as he wrapped his arm around Allura's waist and then stared at her. "Be careful, understand, I don't want you dead!"
"Yes Captain," answered Allura as Keith hugged her. He reluctantly released her from his embrace and his eyes followed her out the door. He wanted to kiss her, but it wouldn't be right with her amnesia.
"Lance, Sven, get going on those security checks," ordered Keith.
"We're on it!" they both replied as they walked out of the conference room. "Well Coran, let's go check those sensors," said Keith taking up his folders.
In a village nearby the castle, Pidge, Hunk, and Princess Allura were helping to evacuate the villagers to the castle. But unknown to them was a dark shadow watching over Princess Allura, waiting for her to come to him. He would be patient this time, everything was going as planned, all she needed to do was to fall for his trap.
"Come on Princess," said Pidge, "we're done over here!"
"Wait, I want to check a few more houses to make sure we evacuated everyone," replied Allura. "Go on without me, I'll get back to the castle."
"What!" exclaimed Hunk. "Do you have a death wish against us? Keith would take our heads if we did that!"
"I just want to check over there," pointed Allura to a batch of houses down the road.
"Pidge, go with her," ordered Hunk, "I'll finish the checks here."
"Alright Princess lets go," said Pidge.
Both walked and checked each one of the homes. As they were checking the last home, Lotor's forces began their attack.
"We gotta get out of here Princess!" yelled Pidge over the noise of laser fire and grabbed her wrist. Just before running out of the door, a laser beam hit the ground in front of it. Sending a shockwave, which blew the weak door off of its hinges, into Pidge, and slamming him to the floor, knocking him out with the door on top of him.
"PIDGE!" screamed Allura and knelt to attempt to get the door off of the boy. "Somebody, HELP! HUNK, I need help!"
Suddenly, the dark shadow appeared out of nowhere. Frightened by his stature but realized that she needed his help.
"Please help me," asked Allura, "my friend needs some help."
"I can take him to my ship," answered the dark figure with a raspy voice. "Please I will need your assistance."
"Oh, of course," replied Allura as the figure picked up Pidge and the two walked to his ship.
Hunk heard Allura's scream and ran to its source to find her not there. ~Oh, shit!~ thought Hunk. Running to his lion, he noticed a ship take off behind a few homes.
"Hunk to Keith, come in Keith!" said Hunk.
"This is Keith, what is it Hunk?" asked Keith.
"Lotor's attacking here and," said Hunk.
"We know, we're on our way," replied Keith and cutting off Hunk, "just get Allura out of there!"
"That's just it Keith," answered Hunk, "Allura's gone. I heard her scream and then she's gone."
"WHAT!" yelled Keith.
"A ship took off in the area before I boarded my lion!" answered Hunk.
"Where's Pidge?" asked Keith while trying to stay calm.
"He's gone to," replied Hunk.
"Keith, there's a robeast!" hollered Lance.
"Just great. Alright, Hunk follow that ship, it might have Pidge and Allura," ordered Keith, "Sven, Lance, you're with me, we need to stop this robeast!"
Once in his ship, Allura helped bandage Pidge's cuts to his head, while the dark figure began to lift off. Noticing the ships' movement, Allura became extremely apprehensive about the situation and quickly searched the room for a weapon.
Upon returning to the princess, the figure said, "I moved my ship to a safer location, away from the attack."
"What's your name?" asked Allura.
"Don't worry about my name," he replied, "all I care about is your safety."
"Well, at least let me see you face to thank you properly," said Allura.
The dark figure removed his hood, and Allura said, "I have this feeling that I know you."
"I hope it is a good feeling," he replied.
"I'm...I'm not sure, I've lost my memories," said Allura, "but thank you for your help."
"You are very welcome my dear," he said taking a step closer and running the palm of his hand down her cheek. Startled by his instant affection towards her, she blushed.
"How do you know me," asked Allura as she backed away from him.
"We are lovers," he stated, "you are in love with me, and I with you. But no one would consent to our love, so we meet in secrecy whenever we could."
"But how can that be," asked Allura, "I'm engaged to someone."
"You told me that you didn't love him, that you have always loved me," he answered, "and that this engagement is out of convenience."
Allura still couldn't shake the feeling building inside of her. Screaming at her to get out, get away, and run to her safe haven. The figure noticed her distress and began to worry, hoping she would believe his lie. To make it a truth, he took her face into his hands, tilted his head down, and gently touched her lips with his. Increasing the pressure and deepening the kiss as he felt her struggle. That did it for Allura, she broke the kiss, slapped him, and backed away from him. Now she knew she HAD to get out, she just had to.
"I'm sorry," he said, "I was hoping that kiss would help you regain your memory of us."
Suddenly, Pidge began to stir. The figure began to worry again, knowing that this boy knew his identity. Allura rushed over to Pidge and held his hand. Slowly he opened his eyes, all he saw was a blur, but his eyes quickly focused. Noticing Allura was safe, he looked around to find out where he was.
"Don't worry Pidge, we're safe," soothed Allura, "this man helped heal you and kept me safe."
Turning his head in the direction of where Allura was pointing, Pidge saw him. Instantly he jumped up and grabbed a weapon.
"Lotor," growled Pidge.
