Your eyes shot open and felt a bead of sweat drop from your forehead, suddenly feeling heat throughout your body and your heart pounding fast.

You had just woken up from a terrible nightmare. In fact, it wasn't a nightmare, but a memory of when you were kept by the Galra and forced to battle. You've been having these kinds of memories in your sleep for the past few days.

The clock glows in your dark room on the nightstand beside your bed, getting your attention when you noticed you overslept.

Swearing under your breath, you quickly sat up and swung your legs over to the side but as you stand, a headache shot through your head that made you slightly dizzy. Your surroundings blurred and you immediately tried to calm yourself down, saying that it's only a headache for the meantime since you woke up unexpectedly from a nightmare.

You walked over to your closet, slipped your suit on and rushed toward the lounge. It's passed breakfast, so you thought they were probably in the lounge, and you were correct.

"(Y/n)! What took you so long? We were all waiting!" Allura said, completely disappointed with you.

She continued on rambling about how early you slept last night and what were you doing but none of them seemed to really process in your mind because of the headache. Instead, you just apologise.

She sighed. "It's alright. Shiro's finished with lion associations. Shiro, spar with (Y/n) for today. Make sure she eats properly before going. Paladins! Go back to your training now!" She commanded and you nodded, your head hurting with each movement you make. Shiro escorts you to the kitchen.

"Are you feeling alright?" He asks.

Seeing you not waking up early was rare. It never happened before.

"Yes I am," You answered, feeling annoyed by some means.

After eating, you both go to the sparring area and stood opposite to each other, beginning with a ready stance.

Shiro was the first to make a move, attempting to trip you but missed when you stepped to the side. Normally, you wouldn't step to the side but jump then kick the opponent at the stomach. That has always been your tactic when someone tries to trip you and you had no idea why you didn't do it.

It was your turn to make a move, throwing a punch to hit his eyes although before you could, he grabbed your fist with his hand.

"Too slow," He smirked and you scowled.

You remembered what your father said back when you were little. He was a very good fighter.

"Always go for the knees, throat and eyes."

Shiro noticed you spacing out and decided to take advantage, kicking your shoulders that sent you behind to hit your back on a wall. You immediately stood up and saw him running towards you and you're waiting for the right time as an idea popped up in your mind.

When he was close enough, you ducked to dodge his expected attack, which was a punch. While you jumped up, you used him to make yourself climb furthur up on the wall before doing a backflip and kicking his non-robotic arm. He fell back and watched you laugh at him.

However, you felt your legs go jelly-like after your feet got in contact back on the ground, causing you to stumble a bit. This also made your headache hurt much more from all the movement you did. Being so focused on winning made you forget that you even had a headache in the first place. You were panting; gasping for air quickly as your heart beats fast.

You didn't notice Shiro going for you and when you did, you looked up at him and somehow an image of a galra from your past was in front of you. Letting out a shriek, you squeezed your eyes shut and crouched down, putting your hands above your head as you awaited for the pain that was about to hit you.
