Ch 1 Bad Feelings

Kali awoke with a start sweat pouring dow his golden pelt. He lay there for a minute breathing heavily. His mate Jasiri was still sleeping peacefull so Kali got up carefully so he wouldn't wake her and walked outside the cave to get some air. As he went outside the cool air hit his face and a gust of wind blew through his red mane. Taking a deep breath Kali began to feel better. However he wasn't feeling up to sleeping. So the golden Prince went and sat on the edge of Priderock to watch the sunrise. He didn't know how long he'd been sitting there when he heard a voice behind him say, "What are you doing up so early?" Kali spun around and saw his father, Simba standing behind his. "Jeeze Dad don't do that," Kali said with a gasp. "You scared the crap out of me."

"I'm sorry son," Simba said sitting beside Kali. "So what are you doing up so early? Couldn't sleep?"

"I had a bad dream," Kali said lowering his blue eyes.

"About Kiara?" Simba asked, his voice low.

"Yeah," Kali admitted. "It's really wierd Dad. I mean I haven't had those dreams in a long time. Why are they suddenly coming back?"

"Well Kali somtimes it take us a long time to get over something tramadic," Simba said. "I mean your sister did almost kill you twice. That's not an easy thing to get over."

"But Kiara's been dead for months now," Kali said. "She can't hurt me ever again. Why am I still so scared? I mean I'm almost a fully grown lion and I have a mate. I shouldn't be sacred like I was when I was a cub."

"Son," Simba began. "Fear is a natural part of life. It's nothing to be sacred of. Trust me I get scared plenty. It's just nature."

"I know Dad," Kali said. "It's just..." Kali was intrupted by the rest of the lionesses getting ready for the morning hunt. "We'll talk more later Dad ok?"

"Are you sure son?" Simba asked. Kali nooded so Simba went to greet Nala and Kali went off to greet Jasari. As Kali was walking into the cave Simba looked at him, his amber eyes filled with worry. Just then Nala came up beside her mate and gave him a nuzzle,"Good morning," she said softly. Then seeing the look on Simba's face the cream lioness asked, "Simba what's wrong?"

"I'm worried about Kali," Simba explained. "He's been having dreams about Kiara again. He's losing sleep Nala and I'm worried that it's affecting his mind."

"Did you talk to him about it?" Nala asked sitting down beside her mate.

"I tried too but we got interupted," Simba sighed. "I'll try again after my morning rounds."

"Well I'm sure that if anyone can get through to him it's you," Nala said, giving her mate a nuzzle. Then the Queen went to join the other lionesses for the morning hunt.

As the lionesses were going on their morning hunt and Simba went on his morning rounds Kali decided to go for a walk to clear his head. He couldn't shake this eerie feeling he had. As the golden Prince was walking lost in his thoughts he heard a voice say, "Penny for your thoughts kiddo." Kali jumped and turned around to see Kovu standing behind him. "Jeeze Kovu don't do that," Kali growled. "You know I hate being snuck up on."

"Sorry kid," Kovu said with a grin. "So what's on your mind."

"I had that dream again," Kali said.

"You mean the one where Kiara's attacking you again and again," Kovu said.

"Yeah," Kali whispered. "Damn it Kovu why can't I shake these feelings? It's really starting to tick me off."

"Kali don't beat yourself up about this," Kovu said. "Fear is a natural part of life."

"That's what my dad said," Kali sighed. "Still dosen't make me feel better though."

"Well how about this?" Kovu began. "Kiara is dead and gone she can't hurt you or anyone else ever again. Besides that you're not a cub anymore. You're almost a full grown lion and can fight back. Does that make you feel better?"

"Wierdly enough it does," Kali said, smiling at the older lion. "Thanks Kovu."

"Anytime kid. Anytime." Just then Kovu's son Chaka came running up to the two lions with a smile on his face "Hey Dad hey Kali," the little brown cub said rubbing against his father's leg.

"Hey there Buddy," Kovu said giving his son a nuzzle. "Is your mom back from the hunt yet?" he asked referring to his mate Tama, who was also Jasiri's mother.

"Yeah and she said for you two to get yor butts back home if you want to eat," Chaka said flicking his green eyes at Kali when he said this.

"Ok we're coming," Kovu chuckled, rubbing the top of his son's head. He turned to his former brother-in-law and said "Coming Kali?"

"I'll be there in a minute," Kali said. "I just need a minute." Kovu nodded and he and Chaka left towards Priderock leaving Kali by himself. Kali sat there for a minute just thinking when he heard a noise from behind him. "Is someone there?" Kali called. "Hello?" Silence. "Stop being so perinoid," Kali ordered himself. "There's noone there. You're just letting your mind play tricks on you." Kali shook his head and his blue eyes scanned the area again seeing nothing. The golden Prince still felt ill at ease so he decided to head back home. Glacing behind him once more the Prince began to walk home.

TLKTLKTLK

As Kali was walking home he had no idea that he was indeed being watched. A dark figure was looming in the bushes lying in wait. "Damn it why'd Kovu have to show up?" they growled. "I should have killed that little runt Kali when I had the chance. But he will die. Oh yes they will all die. They will all suffer for what they have done to me. Then I will take my rightful place as ruler of the Pridelands. Simba was a fool to think he had gotten rid of me. All these months I've spent suffering because of them have given me renewed hatred for them. And now it's only a matter of time before I take action and take down all those who have wronged me. Then victory shall be mine. Then with an evil cackle the dark figure slithered from their hiding spot and headed back to the Outlands revenge on their sick minds.

A/N Alrighty then chapter 1 complete. Who do you think the dark figure is? I'll give you a hint it's not who you think. Reviews are always welcome.
