How is this third one the easiest one to come up with a title for? Probably because the actual quote can be used as a title, but this is the third and final Kallura for today. Lots of more fics to come in the new year and as always, I pinkie promise to always put my blood and tears into staying IC.
"You know nothing of which you speak!" Lotor's furious voice echoed through the room and before anyone could react, he swung his sword out towards Keith. Krolia shouted out a warning, but the warning need not have been said because before the attack could hit, Allura had stepped in front of Keith. The attack cut into her skin, and she went down, Keith quickly reaching out and catching her.
"Allura! What…you…" Keith seemed to be struggling to speak as a fight broke out against Lotor, he tried to stem the bleeding. Why had she done that? Lotor had tried to stab him, to take him out because he was the one who had brought this news. And he had been prepared to defend himself. He had a sword, he could fight and most of all, he did not regret what he had done.
But Allura had chosen to take that shot for him – to take that stab for him and now she was bleeding so badly that she needed a healing pod. He sighed in relief as Coran came to help him out, picking her up in his arms but paused as she grasped his hand in her own.
"I'll always be by your side," Allura whispered. "No matter what anyone says…I meant what I said. We, no, I need you." Her eyes started to close, and he squeezed her hand back.
"I need you too, please stay safe," The words slipped past Keith's lips as her hand slipped out of his. His hands were now covered in her blood from the stab but as long as she was okay, then they could start over. He could start over and be there for her…no, all of them once she was okay again.
