The Real Chapter Three - New friend or possible enemy that follows?
Allura groaned as she came too. She laid in what remained of her ship. "Thank God for helmets" she said warily as she pulled the wrecked helmet from her head. 'And to think that could've been me' Allura thought as she took in the full damage. This was not good. The last thing she remembered was approaching the planet when suddenly this blast of light came from the planet. Her engines went out and she went into a free spin. Bringing herself back to the present Allura freed herself from her seat and pulled herself up. She surveyed the damage that had been done. 'Well looks like I'm stuck here' Allura thought bitterly, maybe Pidge or Hunk or any of the guys would probably know what to do. But Nanny or even Corran had never let her learn any thing but Politics and Flying. 'Oh well' she thought then went to work gathering the supplies.
When she finally emerged from the shuttle she took in her surroundings.
"O Great looks like I don't have to go looking for the jungle dense with life" she said sarcastically to herself as she held up a scanner that she had found on the ship.
"Looks like I should go that way" and with that she headed north to a tall mountain that was visible from where the clearing that she was standing. Little did she know that she was not alone.

Allura dropped her pack on the bank of a nice cool stream she had found. She had been walking for about three hours. And was now about half way up the mountain and she was getting exhausted. Not to mention it was getting dark.
"Well this is as good as place as any" She said again to herself as she looked around nervously. She had been feeling like someone was following her for some time ever since she left the downed ship.
But it wasn't until the night had fallen when things really began to get creepy. She had thrown a blanket down on the ground and was using her pack as a pillow. It was the dead of night when it happened.
Allura was sleeping fitfully. A dream plagued her sleep.
*She sat in the cock pit of what looked to be a ship. She was breathing heavily. Her side hurt. She looked down and saw her white tank top ripped across her middle and one long thin sliced cut adorned her stomach. She looked out the front view screen and was greeted by fire every where people were running screaming away from this terrifying black thing that was in the shape of something. A feeling of dread took shape in her stomach.
Then a calming washed over her as she knew what she had to do. With this in mind she took hold of the controls and charged the creature.
Then she was no longer in the ship. She was on the ground watching in horror as the creature destroyed everything in sight. Then she watched as the black lion went charging start into the beast. A tremendous explosion ripped through the air. Allura's small body was pushed to the ground by the force of it. A single word was ripped from her lungs as she stared devastated at the wreckage of the once proud ship.
"MOTHER"*
Allura shot up. Tears streaming down her face a cold sweat drenched her body. Allura sat on the ground trying to remember the now forgotten dream. She did not have long to do so for suddenly from the bush beside her a huge snarling creature charged her. Scrambling to her feet, she ran. She ran as fast as her legs could carry her. She did not know where she was going. A voice inside her head led her. The voice was soft and melodious and so familiar.
As she ran a blinding light flashed over her head and hit the charging beast square in the chest sending it back words into the bush. Shocked Allura stopped and stared at where the beast once stood.
/ Lead you shall be by the blinding light/
The verse from the riddle flashed through her mind as she turned and followed the steady light streaming from just a head. Little did she know that she was being watched very closely as she followed the light as if hypnotized.

She did not know how long she followed the light. But she suddenly she was in a cave. Its walls smooth as if sanded. It was perfectly cut from stone in an arch. There in the center of the room dividing it was a single crystal glass wall. The wall was semi transparent. She could see something behind. 'The white lion 'realization dawned on her.
'How do I get through?' she asked herself.
'Believe' the voice said.
'In what?' she asked .
"Yourself, your powers" and then the voice left.
"Myself, my power' she repeated.
Then she closed her eyes a clam washed over her as it had in her dream. She placed one hand on the wall. As she did this a thousand voices crashed over her. As the entire history of her ancestors rushed forward her mind went into overload. She gasped stumbled back and collapsed.
The dark figure approached the crumpled princess. He bent a picked her up as he looked into her face he saw a slight mark right next to her ear.
"I thought so" it said as it turned and strolled from the cave. Carrying her with it.

Now again at least one more review for this chapter before I continue. Thanks for all the support I was seriously considering stopping writing because people wouldn't review. So thank you all and One question. What is a Beta Reader?
