"Mother?" the blond haired teen dressed in a long silk blue gown, slowly moved through the smoke filled halls of the Castle of Lions towards the half open double wooden doors of the king and queen's royal chambers that her father and mother shared, but the laughter she heard coming from the room wasn't that of her father and her mother but that of enemy, Drule officers and one distinct commanders voice.

"Now now my beautiful slave to be, don't be so shy towards your master" peeking in, Allura could see Lotor looming over her mother's naked body as she screamed and pleaded with him, her blond hair matted to her head as sweat poured down her face as he thrust harder into her." My dear you escaped me once to marry that pathetic Arusain King now it time for you to be with a real man."

For a split second Queen Annett's eyes met Allura's through the crack of the doors making her fight the crown prince of the Drule Empire that much harder. Out of a fit of rage and frustration Lotor's right hand crashed against her cheek silencing her.

Annett's Piercing green eyes met Allura's sapphire eyes once again, pleading for her to run and hide from this demon that was assaulting her but in her efforts to get her to run, Lotor noticed Annett looking at the door and his eyes wondered over to the door only to see the shadow of the teen girl as she ran back down the hall.

"Well well it seems that we had and audience right outside the door watching our little show, my pet" Lotor chuckled giving his guards the go ahead to run after Allura. "bring her back and I'll teach her a little lesson in watching adults play."

"No please don't, thats my only daughter" Annett dug her nails into Lotor's face drawing blood from his smooth blue skin. "she's only a child"

"Bitch!" Lotor drew his dagger from his left leather boot "before you die, I want you to know that your child will serve me well as my pet slave and bride."

Without a second thought the curved black steel blade sliced into the pale skin of the queens neck. The last thing Annett saw before she took her last breath was Allura being dragged back in.

"No! mother please don't leave me please I'm scared!" Allura scream as she struggled to get away from the strong pair of hands that held her.

"You'll make a wonderful addition to my harem and once your of age you'll bare my son " Lotor reached out to grab her arm.

"No leave me alone!" Allura's eyes flew open just in time to see a dark figure reached down to grab her. Without no hesitation she swung her fist knocking the shadow of a man to the floor and ran for the heavy steel doors until she heard a familiar groan.

"Goddamn it Allura, you have one hell of a right hook" the lights brighten, she could see Lance sitting on the floor holding his jaw. " if I would have known that waking you would be this dangerous I would have let prince Charming's ass wake you" ( referring to Keith )

"What is going on in here?" the doors swooshed open for Pidge as he walked in carrying two thick blankets for there make shift bunks.

"Its nothing" Lance quickly stood and dusted himself off.

" That bruise on the side of your face says otherwise "Pidge had a smirk on his face as he made his way to bunk further from Allura's on the right. "I think your Players Club membership card would be revoked if they find out you got your ass kicked by a girl in one swing."

" I was not knocked out nor did I get my ass kicked " Lance raked his fingers through his auburn hair.

" I'm so sorry! please accept my sincerest apologies" Allura quickly turned to leave only to run dead smack into Keith's chest.

" Are you alright? " Keith raked his fingers through his raven black hair as he looked down into her frighten blue eyes.

"I- I'm fine" she backed away giving Keith enough room to enter the living quarter s of the ship.

"I know better I can see it in your eyes" He said low enough for only she could hear him while the other two traded insults amongst each other. "Come with me to the bridge and we'll talk there."

" I said I'm fine Keith I just had a nightmare that's all. I promise you that if anything is bothering me you'll be the first to know" she found herself unable to look him in his dark coffee brown eyes.

"Ok, Lance and Pidge please get those Crystals changed and Allura you will join me on the bridge until Pidge and Lance take over at 23 hundred hours and gentlemen don't be late or I'll make sure you pay" Keith lead the blond monarch out and down the hall towards the cockpit.

"Well" Ten seconds had passed before Keith's tenor voice rung out breaking the silence between the two" So are you going to tell me about this dream or am I going to have to guess."

"Keith, I swear to you that I'm fine I just need to get my mine off this meeting. " she smiled as they sat in the pilot and co-pilot seat in front of three large windows with the view of space.

"Right, lets say that I believe you and it just nerves. Can you truly and honestly say that a speech about the Planetary Free Trade Act is what made you punch one of my pilots." Keith glanced at her as he typed in several key codes into the ships computer to check on Lance and Pidge's progress.

" Ok, your right I had a nightmare." she sighed thinking back on her dream. "even tho its just a dream it felt so real. I can still smell the smoke from the fire. I can hear the screams of the citizens as Doom attacked."

" Allura , could these dreams be memories from the war"

"Yes they could be, but I remember Coran saying that my mother passed during child birth but in my dream I saw her being killed by Lotor." she looked out towards a distant planet known as Dumas5. " i can clearly hear her voice pleading with that monster begging for my life and her own."

Keith thought back to the conversation he had with Coran years ago after he arrived as the commander of the rescue and recover team. Keith remember asking Coran about taking her back to Earth for therapy after her three years in captivity on Doom in the Pit of Skulls. To have witnessed what she had been through as commander of the Black Eagles special ops unit of the Allience, Keith felt it was his duty to protect her after saving her and bring her back home to Arus, but shocked when Coran turn him down. Keith could remember her face and clothes smeared with mud her body covered in bruises and cuts.

"I remember the war well " With a sigh she faced him. "I recall Coran saving me and hiding me in the ruins underneath the castle."

His brow rose as realization hit him that she blocked out everything including meeting him before he return with the others five years later as the new commander of Voltron.

Meanwhile on Ebb ( Better known as the planet that never sleeps and to Earthling PLANET LOS VEGAS.)

The warm southern winds of the Agis desert brushed the handsome arrogant crown Prince of the Drule Empire, long snow white hair back away from his face as he stood on the balcony of his hotel room over looking the city of Bukkum with his muscular chested bared with only his silk black pajama bottoms on and a glass of blood wine in his left hand.

" Huh how could I almost forget that today is anniversary of my first successful campaign against Arus. The day I finally found you again my Annett, my love only to lose you to a bastard king." A look of sadness appeared in his gold cat like eyes as he gripped a gold necklace with a diamond charm in his right hand " I remember giving this to you when we first met. You was to be my queen even tho you thought I was too young for you but my obsession to have you took over me." holding the necklace up for the diamond can catch the light from dim street light to sparkle.

" How ironic that the only way you could escape me was through death." Lotor's grip tighten around the thin delicate piece of metal as he gazed up at the double full moon.

"Well my Annett your daughter has grown to look exactly like you. She even inherited your high spirits and wicket tongue" a evil smile appeared across Lotor's handsome face. "And just like you I shall have a taste of her and I will destroy that meddlesome commander and his crew of idiot that stand at her side."

Somewhere in the shadows Victoria over heard his declaration and her fear of losing him to the blond started to look very much real.

"I shall not let you slip out my hands I invested to much time and effort into this relationship." she whispered to herself slowly turning and walking out leaving him to his own devices. " I have to talk to father. I just might need his help after all."
