Chapter 11: Confession
Kristine POV
They got away.
My glare hardened as I thought about how I was going to capture them. I could send the Demanous people after the children, but that would be too predictable. But, then what could I send out there? There aren't any creatures or anything else that I could use.
"Pidge", I said suddenly. "What do you..." I trailed off as a thought accrued to me. I smiled. If THEY are too predictable then the voltron force attacking their own cadets surly won't.
"Contact the Demanousons'", I ordered. "Tell THEM that I said to keep the force alive." I gave a short laugh. "I finally have some use for them."
Allura POV
I grunted in frustration as every arrow that I shot at those demons missed. I aimed it again, but just like the others I had no such luck.
"Is there anyway of stopping these guys", asked Lance using his magma pistols? "There has to be", I said. I activated my whip and started to whack THEM. "Try to find a weak spot", suggested Keith.
Drawing out his swords, Keith lunged at an attacking demon. The thing easily dodged it and pined Keith to the floor. Lance ran to aid his friend, but a group of THEM closed in blocking his way. "That may be a lot harder than you think", said Lance. He backed away from THEM cautiously. "Now, now. Don't you think that violence is a little over rated", reasoned Lance laughing nervously? "That depends", said a male one. "Are you really worth the trouble or not?" Lance's back bumped into a female one. "He sure does look like it", she replied. The thing released its claws and struck Lance in the back.
Hunk swung his hammer at THEM knocking four of the monsters to the ground. One of the demons curved around his hammer and wrapped itself around Hunk's body.
I gaped at the sight. "What are these things", I wondered aloud? "Do you really want to know?" I turned around and IT grabbed me and threw me into the wall. I gasped at the impact. "There's a lot of things in this universe that you don't know about", IT said. IT grabbed my neck. "And it doesn't seem like you're going to find out either."
"Stop..."
An image of Pidge appeared. "Pidge", I choked out. Maybe he could save us. If he was free to talk on the holographic communicator then he could come and rescue us.
"Kristine has orders to keep the force alive. SHE has surprisingly found some usefulness in these people."
What?
"Bring them to the control room. Now." He then turned off the communication.
Pidge? How, how could he? Think Allura, think, I scolded myself. That couldn't have been Pidge, and if it is then something has happened to him. He has to be controlled against his will or something.
I screamed as IT's grip tightened. "You're lucky princess", IT spat. "I was really going to enjoy hearing your cries of pain as I kill you slowly. But..." IT squeezed my neck harder. "Once my boss is done with you, I will put an end to your royal sentence personally."
The thing jerked me away from the wall and dragged me out the room along with the others.
Daniel POV
The four of us sat around the fire quietly watching the flames. Lily was fast asleep in Larmina's lap, snoring softly. The storm was still strong so we'd probably have to wait untill tomorrow morning to leave.
"So what do we do once we get to the castle", asked Vince? "When we get there those demons and that woman are sure to be ready for us." "We could go through the catacombs again", said Larmina. "THEY won't be able to detect nor find us." "Actually", I started. "THEY can. Vince and I both got attacked when we were down there. Besides, if Kristine can find the control room then who says that she can't pinpoint our location whether we're in or out of the castle." "You have a point there, but..." Vince stopped in mid-sentence. "Kristine?"
Snart bags!
"Ah, y-y-yeah", I stuttered. "I, I, I heard the Demanous people talking about..." "The Demanous people", said Vince? "Woa, woa, woa, wait", said Larmina. "You mean to tell me that you know that woman and the Demanousons'?" "Um...Yeah", I replied slowly. "Unbelievable", she said shaking her head. "What. Did. You. Do?" "Nothing", I defended. "I just merely accidentally wiped out half of THEIR population."
What, screamed Vince in my mind!
"Ow", I hollered holding my head. "Not so loud." "Daniel, are you insane", said Larmina? "The Demanous people are legendary. No one messes with THEM! What on Arus were you thinking?!" "Well, it's not my fault", I said! I could feel a little tingle of pain. "And." "Hey", yelled Vince! "Arguing is going to get use nowhere, and apparently Daniel has some explaining to do." He eyed me. "Don't you Daniel?" I huffed out a breath. "It seems like I do", I replied.
Lily started to stir in her sleep, and she woke up with a yawn. "Is it over yet", she asked referring to the storm? "No", I said. "I'll let you know when it's over. Go back to sleep, okay?" She nodded drifting back into a slumber.
"Let's try to keep our voices low", I said. "She needs to rest." "Okay", said Larmina smoothing Lily's hair. "But you better start explaining everything, and don't you dare leave out any details." "Trust me", I replied. "I won't."
So I told them everything from the start to finish. How there was conflict between the Demanous people and mine. And about how my people had powers and some didn't, all the way to why the Demanousons' hate me and about Lily.
"I knew it", exclaimed Larmina. "The looks, the personality, it all makes sence." "Yeah", said Vince. "She's just like a miniature version of you. Only more innocent." I laughed. "Well don't get used to it. If you think that Lily and I is really that much alike, then her innocentness is bound to be gone by the age of ten."
We all brook into laughter. Once we all calmed down Larmina asked, "So does your sister have powers? You know, since your dad plus the majority of your people have them." "I don't know", I replied honestly. "She hasn't shown any sign of having powers, other than the fact that she can contain the ones in me." "Are you sure", said Larmina? "Because while Lily and I were in the secret passage way I was thinking about something and she would always answer the questions that I had in my head." "Really", I said? I'll have to ask Lily about that later.
Vince sighed. "That is a lot to take in", he said. "But if you... you know injure Lily, what is Kristine going to do with your powers?" "I have no idea", I replied. "I just hope that I don't have to find out."
We were all quiet after that. I could tell that the three of us were all deep in thought. But Vince was right. What did Kristine have planned for me? And what would happen once it's done?
