A/N: He's in the last part of the transformation. He will be able to change back in forth though, so...yay.


Keith's P.O.V

I groaned. My body felt sore, and my head felt like a million little mice were having a party inside. I opened my eyes, everything was bright yellow. I shut them quickly, the light too bright. I reached forward, pushing open a door. I fell out, this time different arms catching me. I kept my eyes closed, letting whoever was holding me take me away. I felt something soft and assumed it was a bed, I squinted my eyes, seeing Lance leaning over my bed.

"Lance?" I asked, my voice coming out like a ghost's.

"Yeah, it's me," Lance sounded. I sat up, facing him with closed eyes, "Why're your eyes closed?"

"Am I in my room?" I asked, ignoring his previous question.

"Wh-Yeah," He answered, and I heard his arms cross over his chest. I headed to the bathroom, not needing to feel my way. My bathroom was turning into the second most frequent place I went, besides the training deck. When I felt the sink, I inched my eyes open. I sucked in a breath, my claws digging into the sink.

Two bright yellow eyes stared back at me, letting me see how far my body has changed. The purple covered my face, and I assumed it now covered my whole body. I looked at my ears, they were getting longer and pointier, covered in a dark shade of purple. I'm pretty sure if the paladins see my eyes, they'll probably figure out what I am. That can't happen.

I sigh, heading back to my room. I hear people talking, and almost wince, but my head doesn't scream in pain anymore. Does that mean my sensitivity has gone down?

"Keith?" Pidge.

"Keith, why are your eyes closed?" Shiro.

"Because I don't want to see your ugly faces, now get out," I flop on my bed without opening my eyes.

"Keith, open your eyes," Shiro turns me to face him, I feel his arm reaching to my face. Panic flashes through me and I bite his hand, sharp teeth hitting his metal arm. I winced, backing away from him.

"Did you just bite him?" Lance.

"I-I'm sorry. I-I didn't mean to," I pleaded. My tongue hit something sharp in my mouth. I poked it with my tongue, wincing, "I-Is there s-something in m-my mouth?"

"Yeah," Hands tilted my chin, making me flinch at the light touch. The hands disappeared, taking note in my discomfort, "You have fangs." I shut my mouth, wincing as my fangs cut my lip.

"Will you open your eyes now?" Pidge.

"No, Pidge," I mumble.

"How'd you know it was her?" Hunk.

"My ears," I point at them, "The sensitivity has gone down, but I can hear better than before, and your voices are different, so it's obvious."

"That's so cool," Pidge fawns.

"Can you leave now?" I ask, trying to speak with fangs will take some getting used to.

"No, not until you tell us what you're changing in to." Shiro.

"Well, I guess we're going to be here for a while," I crawl under the covers, willing them to leave.

"Ok," Shiro settles on the bed, "We'll wait." I groan, hiding under my pillow.

"If I open my eyes, will you leave?" I ask, my voice muffled.

"What?" Hunk asks.

"If I open my eyes, will you leave!" I yell, making him...jump?

"Yes," Shiro, "If  you open your eyes, we'll leave you alone until tomorrow."

"Deal," I grumbled, sitting up. I was about to open my eyes when an alarm sounded, making them shoot open.

"Paladins! Someone is on the ship!" Allura yells. Everyone rushes out of my room, and I follow behind, readying my bayard. The lights go out and I panic, losing the paladins.

"Guys?" I whisper, my dream coming back to me. I hear footsteps and whip around, my sword out. A cold knife presses against my throat and I freeze.

"I need to speak with you young paladin," A familiar voice sounds.
