A loud cry of Anger and rage burst from her as she snarled spinning unsheathe the sword of one of the armor stands. It was her father, King Alfor laying on the ground that stoked her rage. She didnt, however, register the blur of motion before a strong sweep of a sword against hers pushed back her hand painfully, with force. Allura winced for a brief second stumbling back falling as the sword went spinning out of grasp across the floor. Immediately her eyes widened but she grit her teeth banishing her fear as she dove for the sword.
Allura had barely moved when his hand found her neck again. Hands moved to grab his wrist, to pry him off, but it was Useless. Allura's head was slammed harshly to the ground , Lotor choking her with a gleeful smile.
she glared at him a fiery energy blazing in her eyes as she struggled twisting. Lotor's hand got tighter and her eyes widened as she choked gasping as she kicked trying to pry off his hand. Lotor finally eased up, black dots having just begun to swim in her vision when he did.
"My beautiful Allura . . . you should have accepted my proposal. Dear old Dad might have still been around" He sneered Allura growling at him wincing knowing she was trapped.
"Now . . . you'll become something worse" Lotor laughed stepping up as Allura took a deep breath staring up at him in horror.
Allura felt her self being lifted a whirlwind beginning to stir around her feet as she struggled trying to fight against whatever was was happening to her. Lotor laughed at her as a bright violet light began to shine from beneath her Allura shielding her eyes from how bright it was.
Something snapped and Allura slumped a deep exhaustion taking over her. She slowly let out a deep breath not even realizing she was being lowered until her body hit the cold tile. Allura kept her eyes shut unable to open them with how tired she had become. The world was finally beginning to fade but Allura could just hear the heavy footsteps coming for her.
"Let's see how your kingdom loves you now princess. and your prince." Lotors voice hissed in her eyes and Allura whimpered, the sound rising in her throat. "They might welcome an orphan but they'll never welcome a starving wolf"
"Keith might have loved you but he could never promise forever to a mutt"
Allura felt her self go cold at his words as she instinctively curled into a ball as far as she could move. Lotor's footsteps slowly dissapeared as the world dissapeared from her mind and Allura fell into darkness.
~~~~~
"Allura!" A voice echoed through the air
"ALLURA!" It suddenly snapped louder from next to her and she twisted herself awake a sharp rough sound coming out. A sound that she didn't remember ever making before. Allura slowly moved her eyes heavily blinking open as she looked around.
Everything was taller for some odd reason.
Finally she tried to rise falling when she realized her knees wouldn't bend the right way and she couldn't sit right. Finally Allura looked down freezing in horror at what was there. White paws and white fur.
"They might welcome an orphan but they'll never welcome a starving filthy wolf"
"No . . . no" Allura found she could talk, but her mouth didn't open when she did. She could feel that she was saying the words out loud but her mouth just wasn't opening when she did.
"ALLURA!"
Allura jumped a harsh bark popping out of her mouth as she jumped trying to scramble up to where she could stand. Finally she managed to get her legs on the floor and lifted her self spinning around clusily trying to find the source of the noise.
Keith.
Allura wasn't expecting the sight of her prince. He was standing there in horror staring at where she stood, his violet eyes filling with tears.
"Keith . . . " Her voice broke as she spoke, even though she knew he couldn't possibly understand her.
"He . . . . he must think I'm stupid" Keith breathed eye narrowing in hard rage as Allura's widened and she clumsily backed up tripping on her feet a few times but the princess managing to stay up.
"He really must be stupid if he thinks I'm going to fall for his little disguise" Keith snarled violet eyes growing darker with rage. "Where. Is. Allura."
Allura shook her head rapidly as fast as she could still backing up in terror. Her back feet abruptly hit something and she yelped, her feet coming out from under her falling to sit. Allura turned quickly to see what it was and suddenly her heart clenched.
Her father. He was still laying there a soft expression on his face. Allura found she could still smell the soft scent of Lavender on him from their walk this morning. It was enough to make her freeze as she stared dead hard at him sorrow ripping through her like a knife. In all the commotion and Lotor's magic she had somehow forgotten what had happened. Allura finally moved, all the fight going out of her as she slumped downward laying on him not hearing Keith from behind her.
" . .What are you doing . . . " Keith asked softly his voice confused
Allura ignored him laying her head on her fathers arms closing her eyes. She wanted to stay with him, she wanted him back.
"Allura . . . .oh . . oh god" Keith's voice broke and Allura snapped out of it when she felt his hand suddenly finger through the soft fur on her head.
"I want him back" Allura whimpered moving to lay on Keith burying her head in her paws finding she couldn't cry. It only made her chest ache more and a deep pain erupt in her heart.
"Allura . . . how . . how do I change you back. " Keith whispered his voice beginning to sound defeated as he stared down at her.
"Forever . . . . promise forever . . . and you can't . . . I don't have anything to offer you anymore" Allura whispered before going quiet as she curled against him. Keith relaxed against her as he sighed, his hands ruffling her fur again petting her quietly as he tried to think.
Finally Allura had enough. She couldn't, and wouldn't do this to Keith. She couldn't stand around and watch him fall apart as he tried to fix her. Lotor was right, Keith couldn't promise forever to her now. Slowly she stood up Keith taking back his hands as he looked up in surprise. Allura didn't look at him but simply moved forward ignoring the guilt that was dragging her feet across the floor.
"Lura . . . Allura where are you going?" Keith asked softly staring at her from where he still sat on the floor.
Allura stayed silent. She continued walking forward almost to the open doors of the palace. She was almost gone, then she wouldn't have to worry about hurting Keith.
"Allura . . . you . . .you can't leave . . . please . . .we'll fix this!" Keith pleading voice stopped her as she closed her eyes letting her head drop. Slowly she looked back shaking her head.
"Allura . . . I promise . . .I promise I'll find a way! I can't lose you . . . . I love you . . . " Keith begged eyes filling with tears "I don't care if it takes forever . . . I promise I'll spend eternity finding a way to bring you back . . .I love you"
"You aren't promising forever for me Keith . . . . it doesen't matter what you pledge to . . ." Allura whispered turning around again as she took a deep breath trying to keep herself from running back to him.
" . . . .a-and . . . .and if I can't . . . " Keith winced looking down as he took a deep breath "Then I'll find a way to join you."
"No!" Allura spun around snapping at him shaking her head glaring at him in disbelief. She stared at him a second more caught in his violets eyes before she slumped turning back to the doorway taking another step forward.
I want to spend forever with you . . . . I don't care how." Keith's broken voice seemed to curl around her and inside her at the same time.
Allura's eyes widened when she heard the words everything in her seeming to jump in relief at the words. Her breath hitched as she realized what had happened a bright light spreading around her. Slowly Allura closed her eyes the light filling her seemingly before it finally faded and she opened her eyes.
She stood there, and everything was different again. She could feel her hands as she slowly looked down shakily pressing them into the fabric of her dress. She could walk she had hands, she was her again.
Allura spun around in realization as she stared gaze locking on Keith's as the two stood silently. Keith's eyes were wide, flashes of shock and relief in them as he untensed, his hands falling to his side. Allura stared back staying still as she tried to comprehend what he had done still. It hit her and she felt her eyes water as her face broke into a relieved smile.
Immediately Allura ran to him Keith's face falling into one of Joy as he grabbed her spinnning her before pulling her closer in a inseparable hug. Allura felt like he was surrounding her with the way he had pulled her into him. Her arms were wound around his neck and his head was almost nuzzled into the back of her neck his hands gripping her hips. Allura breathed a sigh of relief a happy sob bursting from her as she nuzzled into him, his touch his presence, everything filling her with life.
"God I love you" Keith breathed "I meant what I said, I want forever with you . . . .your dad wanted that" He whispered softly his voice filled with tears.
"I don't want that" Allura whispered giving a happy smile as Keith pulled away confused, a hurtful look beginning to blossom in his eyes.
"What?" His voice choked but Allura shook her head hands gliding up the side of his neck and holding his face.
"I want far longer than forever." She breathed her lips pushing onto his as she pushed herself onto him kissing his gently her eyes fluttering shut. Allura's heart leapt when she felt him kiss back a passion stirring in her.
