Voltron's Executioner

Chapter 17

"I know." his voice was soothing but it flared in his eyes that he didn't trust her. That he didn't believe that it was still his sweet innocent Katie. At that moment though, it didn't seem as if he fully cared. Sam pulled her and held her as she slowly began to cry. It was the first time since she killed Adam did she actually have a cry besides several tears sliding down her cheek. "I want to die. Why isn't anyone killing me! I want someone to shoot me!"

"Don't say that sweetie. Please?" his grip around her tightened "I'm here. Your fine. Your safe. Your family is here."

Coran and Allura were walking down the halls when they stumbled on the odd sight of Pidge sobbing in her father's arms. Sam looked over and sighed "Katie, maybe you'd want to talk to them? I know your mad at me."

She looked up and the Alteans could see what was once, large, beautiful, sleep deprived eyes still sleep deprived, but red, puffed, cold and heartless. That's when they realized, they would never get their number five back. Their green paladin really did get lost on Kerberos.

"I, I-"

Coran walked over with a sad smile, which was made smaller when he seen the red prints of a hand around her throat. "Maybe we could go over how you hacked into the Atlas. And if you would fix it?"

Sam sent a warning look. Asking her to betray the Galran Empire was dangerous, especially since she still intended to go back. At least from what he understood, she was still plotting to go back. "S-sure."

Coran twiddled his mustache "Perfect!"

The princess smiled "And maybe fill me in on your love life. It's been quiet hard not to talk to the only girl I was close to."

"There is a newer General, I guess. I'm not giving any information of how I hacked."

The aliens nodded and took the Executioner to where ever they would be alone. Sam watched with a sad smile. He wasn't sure if he was help, if he should help but knowing that his little girl did heinous acts, then acted like a monster and kept in the truth, it killed him. All he hoped was that she wouldn't kill him or anyone else in their broken family. But at the same time, he was scared for his broken daughter and of her.

Coran watched carefully as Pidge typed. It seemed as if it would be helpful and strengthened their system so he decided to bring up what was bugging him and Allura. "Number five, care to explain the, hand on your neck."

"No."

"Why not? You seemed upset."

"I deserved it. I deserved to die, I just don't want to die by being strangled. To easy to come back with too much damage."

The two aliens shared a look. "Okay." started the Princess "How about you tell me more about this new General?"

Pidge's typing faltered for a second before it continued. "There's nothing much. He got the title of Lotor's Lieutenant, or will I guess. but I think Haggard wants him dead."

"Why?"

"Classified."

"Not anything?"

Katie bit her lip. The chances of him not being there if she ever returned were almost certain. And it was fairly obvious Voltron was no longer going to kill her. Maybe if Lotor found out she said even more he's kill her. A girl could hope. "He fought alongside the coalition. He still supports Voltron."

Allura was wide eyed. How would Lotor convince this boy to fight for him when he cheered for the opposing team? "What? How?"

"I don't know. From what I understand Lotor wanted a better fighter and had something that he wanted so he was going to make him a deal."
