Miracle
Chapter 3
It was 7:00 the next morning. Lance was stirring on the couch in Allura's room. He opened his eyes and noticed a crick in his neck. He moved his head around a little and rubbed his neck with his hand and sat up.
He remembered he was in Allura's room and looked over toward her bed. To his surprise, she was not in her bed. He just figured she got up early. 'I guess I better get started on my day', he thought to himself and proceeded toward the door just passed the bed.
Before he got there he saw her half-kneeling half-leaning against the side of the bed. He felt a sense of doom in his heart. "Oh no" he moaned as he ran to her side.
He thought she did something drastic. He knelt down beside her and touched her face. She was warm and he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Allura," he said waking her "I thought you were dead! What are you doing on the floor?"
She gazed at him groggily "I...I must keep praying, praying and believing. He...he's got to live and won't live without my prayers." She got back on her knees and began to pray again.
Lance was confused. He lifted her head to face him. She was very tired from lack of sleep. "Allura, what are you talking about?" he questioned.
Allura began to tell him. "He was here."
"Who?!" Lance interrupted.
Allura continued. "Keith" "Keith's ghost came to you? What did he say?" he interrupted again.
Allura subtly shook her head.
"It was Keith, not his ghost. He was communicating telepathically, but it was like he was actually here. He told me he was alive, but I needed to pray for him if he is to survive and recover fully."
Lances eyes grew wide with shock. "What!" he shouted then lowered his voice. "There's no way. The atmosphere where his lion went down is barely able to sustain plant life let alone human life! Keith couldn't have survived. You are just dreaming about what you want to hear."
He continued "Allura, when we searched the planet all we could find were fragments of Black Lion. There's no way any human could have survived."
Allura was obstinate "Well I guess Keith is just more than an ordinary human. He was here and I believe him. An angel is watching over him."
"Allura, do you realize that what you're saying is impossible? It makes no sense. It's crazy..."
"Anything is possible with God," she stated firmly. "If you'll pray with me, it will help him that much more."
"I don't know, Allura. This is pretty far out there even for me. I need to go think about this."
He looked at her strangely and walked out the door. 'I want to help her' he thought outside her door, 'I should talk to the doctor, but with all the strange things we've been through, if there's any chance she's right... I don't want to destroy any chances of getting him back.' He walked down the hall to get some breakfast. Allura continued praying in her room.
Back on the unnamed planet, Keith was starting to get some of his strength back. It had been almost a week since the incident and he was thriving on little food. There was not much vegetation on this planet due to the weak atmosphere. However, Philana was able to find some food for him. In spite of all of this, he was in good spirits because of the enormous amount of love he felt in his heart.
He pulled himself up to a sitting position just as Philana came to bring him some more food. She gave it to him and sat down next to him.
"Her prayers have been unending. Do you know that?" Philana stated breaking the silence. "I want to talk to her again." He said longingly.
"Very well, you just need to do what you did before. But, I must warn your communicating with her telepathically puts a strain on your body, although it is the only way to keep her belief strong." She replied.
"Alright, I'll be short. I just need to see that she's ok. Well here I go," said Keith falling into his trance-like state.
Suddenly he found himself in Allura's room again. She was kneeling on the floor half asleep like she was before. Keith walked up to her and gathered her in his arms and gently placed her on the bed and sat down next to her.
She opened her eyes. "Keith" she said delightedly.
He embraced her warmly and told her how her faith was healing him.
"I miss you so much it hurts," said Allura.
Keith gently caressed her cheek and said, "I'll be back soon but it will take a little time. I was badly injured. The way you see me now is not the actual condition that I am in."
"I am so worried about you, Keith," Allura said sadly.
"Don't worry. Just pray and hope," He replied while holding her hand.
She took notice of how her hand felt in his. She felt warmth but not texture. I was almost like a dream. His telepathic image could hold her, but she longed for his actually touch. Then a thought came to her.
"Do you think it would help to have the others pray for you as well?" questioned Allura.
"Your love and prayers may be enough. Convincing them I am alive may be difficult, but we've seen things as the Voltron Force that no one would believe- so maybe it wouldn't be so hard. It may help me heal faster." Said Keith
Allura looked at him sincerely and said, "I'll do whatever it takes to save you."
She didn't tell him about Lance's doubts.
Keith gently leaned his forehead into hers and then gave her a soft kiss on the lips. He wished they were actually together but this was enough for now.
After kissing her he pulled away from her hesitantly. "I have to go now," he said.
"Oh no, Keith please stay!" she pleaded.
"I need to rest, just keep believing," he said as he faded away.
His appearances although helped her to believe were wearing him out.
Keith faded into consciousness. He was back on the uninhabited planet. A pain seared through his legs where he formerly felt nothing.
'I guess this is a good sign,' he thought to himself.
Having feeling in his legs meant he was not paralyzed. He decided to make a bold move and try to stand. He sat himself up then attempted to stand but his knees were wobbly and he apparently had some fractures in his legs. He fell sideways. Philana came running to him, but reached him just as he hit the ground.
"Take it easy, Keith you're not ready for that. You don't want to injure yourself more!" she warned.
She helped him to a sitting position.
He looked at her quizzically.
"You know," he began "Why don't you just carry me over to Black Lion and I can take it from there? I don't need my legs to fly."
She looked at him sadly. "I can't carry you. You are much bigger than me. I haven't the strength." Keith looked at her funny and said "I always thought angels could use the power of God to save people."
"Not exactly," she said and continued, "We can when it's warranted, but this isn't one of those times. You need time to heal...Uh...time for your love to come to its fruition."
Keith sighed "I know 'all in God's time', but how can our love come to its 'fruition' without us being together? I...I mean how can we as it is written 'be fruitful and multiply' if we are not together?'
Philana had a stunned look on her face as she turned beet red. She realized there was a misunderstanding about the term "fruition." However, if she told him exactly what she meant, the event that was supposed to happen wouldn't. So she decided to lead him in the right direction without revealing all.
"Philana?" Keith questioned.
"Keith, When I said 'fruition' that's not exactly what I meant," she replied awkwardly.
"Well what did you mean?" Keith insisted.
"I can't tell you. You'll find out in time." She said sternly.
Keith became indignant. "In time!" Keith shouted. He lowered his voice and changed his plan of action.
"Are you telling me she only loves me as a friend and that 'fruition' only meant a deeper friendship?" He asked sadly.
"No, it's much more than that!" Philana said excitedly. "I just can't explain it or it won't happen. Please just know that she cares for you very deeply. Open your heart and pray also. Everything will happen as it should." She finished.
