Hush Lil Baby Don' Say A Word

Chapter 3

(w00h00:D I am da backness! Oh btw, my writing has improved! I'm not going to write the accents in these chapters cause it's so hard to think. xD)

Disclaimer: Own no one.

I had never really been kidnapped before- ever. No not even that time when my friend pretended to kidnap me. This was real. The monster had Sven and I chained up. Where was he taking us?

"Lotor will be pleased." The thing in front of us said. If it was possible it smiled our direction. I shivered in response.

"Don't worry, I'll get us out of here." I heard Sven whisper. I only nodded quietly trying not to think of what would happen if we didn't get out.

"Throw the prisoners in here and I'll contact Lotor."

Before I could comprehend what he had said I was pushed forward and landed hard on the rocky ground. I heard Sven grunt as he landed behind me. The door slammed shut leaving us alone in darkness. A feeling crept up on me that I hadn't felt in years. I was scared. Really scared. I was glad it was dark. That meant he couldn't see me.

I curled up close to the wall and started to cry softly. I wanted to go home. Go back to Arus. Go back to Romelle and cook. Anything but be here. If I died here I'd never find out who my real parents were- I didn't want to die an orphan. I wanted to die with a family.

I had to get out of here.

"Kitori, it's going to be alright." Sven grunted as he moved around. I heard him trying to sit up and wondered if he was hurt. "I promise you- I'll get us out of here."

I turned around and stared at him blankly in the darkness. "How, Sven? How?"

"Being a past Voltron member, I have a few things up my sleeves, don't count your ducks yet." He grunted again and this time I heard the sound of metal hitting rock. "There. Got those annoyances off. You're turn."

"How did you-?" I blinked looking around for him.

"Stay still." He whispered. I felt his hand touch my thigh and move up until he found my hands. "You move and you'll lose a hand with it." I froze not to sure what he was doing. Then I saw it. A faint blue light and a humming noise.

"You always carry a blow torch with you?" I smirked as he helped me stand up. "Or is this a special occasion?"

"Neh- always be ready. When you're with Romelle, the favorite bait of Lotor, you learn that."

"Why does Lotor want you or her or even me for that matter?"

"He's after Princess Allura on Arus." His voice calmed me in a way I wasn't used to. It sounded normal- the not normal accent and ups and downs in his tone of his voice. I wasn't afraid. It was a feeling I'd felt around my dad. But my father was dead- what was I thinking? And why was I having these feelings with Sven. Ew. No. Block them out right now.

"Allura!" I exclaimed. "Someone should warn her! "

"Oh he's been after her for years, little one."

"I'm not little." I exclaimed. If it weren't so dark in here he'd have seen me blush bright red. "I'm 15 years old, thank you."

"I know you're not, Kitori, I know." We heard a rustling outside. I stepped back nearly falling backwards into Sven. He caught me and moved me behind him. "Stay very quiet." He whispered. "When they come in I want you to run and I'll rush them then join you."

"But you could get hurt!"

"Kitori, don't fuss with me. You have to trust me. I will be fine. You just have to promise me to run." He squeezed my shoulder and I nodded and whispered ok.

We waited for exactly a minute, I counted, before the door swung open and a tall man with white hair stared down at us. "Oh look, they've gotten themselves undone."

"KITORI, RUN!"

My legs acted on his command and I pushed past the new person and the guards and started to sprint. I heard them following me- but I couldn't stop. I didn't stop.

I watched her go hoping she'd get away and go get help. "Lotor." I spat, "Still as ugly as before."

"Sven, still as idiotic as I last remember you. Still dating the blonde cousin of my true loves?" Lotor grinned and held his space blaster on the young Space Explorer.

"Allura will never marry you. I'd rather die than see that happen." I stepped back and glared reaching to my side only realizing I had no gun. Great. Just Great. Man, I was getting rusty. Before I used to always carry a gun. Right now I could really use that outfit Coran made for us when we first found Voltron.

"You may just get that chance." Lotor smirked scratching his chin. "Guards, go find his little girl friend and bring her back here. We need to teach her a lesson about running away."

"Don't touch her." I felt my temper blaze and I squirmed as two of his guards held me tight.

"Why not? Is she yours?" I shook my head. He laughed. "Then why are you so worried? She's just a girl."

"She's young. Let her go. It's me you want anyway."

"How noble, Sven, how noble. I'd expect nothing less of you- however, I still wish to watch her suffer and watch you feel her pain." Lotor laughed again and lifted my chin. "Don't look so glum, Sven. Enjoy my reward. Instead of dying right now you get to live for another hour."

I growled as his guards chained me up- this time to the wall- and then left me alone in the chamber. The door slammed shut leaving me alone again in the darkness.
