Author's Note: This is my first fanfiction and it's been posted for a long time but I'm going back to fix up the grammar a bit.
Prologue
It happened so suddenly, on minute you were minding your own business the next thing you knew you're running for your life. A small male pup was being chased by the matriarch of his clan because she and everyone else believed he committed the crime. Out of breath, the small pup hid behind a tree to rest. His body was badly bruised and was cover in cuts and scratches.
He sat there to rest and to collect his thought "how did this happened" he whispered to himself trying hard to remember.
His heart stops when he heard footsteps close by. He peeked around the tree and spotted the matriarch with flames glowing in her eyes.
"Come out here Banzai, there's no use hiding" she shouted.
His heart begins to pound like crazy. He swallows hard and slowly begins to walk away from her. He was dizzy from exhaustion that he didn't notice a small twig up ahead. The matriarch heard a small snapping sound and turn to see Banzai looking back at her.
"YOU" She shouted.
The pup screamed and ran off again with the matriarch hot on his trail.
"You'll pay for you did, Banzai!"
"Please, listen to me, it was an accident, I swear!" Banzai tried to explain but it was no good.
The matriarch gained up on him and swatted the little pup on his side with her paw. Banzai fell to the ground and tumble down a small hill. The Matriarch stop and watch him fall helplessly toward a river. After crashing into a few rocks, Banzai slam into the river and disappear into the waters. The matriarch smirk and chuckle a bit. Believing he was dead, she returned home to the clan. Banzai grab hold to the edge of the river and pulled himself out of the water, gasping for air. He struggles to get his body out of the cold water and fell to the floor. He weakly lifted his head and look up at the hill and a tear fell down his cheek.
"I can't go home" he said "never again"
Banzai wanted to sleep, hoping all this was a bad dream but he couldn't. If the matriarch comes back, he was sure she'll try to kill him again. He got up and began to walk away from his home and into the new lands.
Weeks before the pup was banned from his home, far away another matriarch from another clan has given birth to a new daughter. Her female friends huddle around her and the new pup.
"Oh Shentana, she's so adorable" one female said.
"She looks just like you even down to your hair" another female said.
"So what's her name" her best friend, Nuacka asked
" I'll tell you but I want to know where my son is" Shentana said
" I'm sure Zacuru knows" Nuacka said looking at her son.
"I'll go find him" Zacuru said
Zacuru looks around the small little jungle they lived in and spotted a hyena sitting on a large rock in deep thought.
"Shenzen, hey Shenzen, WAKE UP" he shouted
The young hyena nearly jumped from the sudden shout, "What is it" he shouted back
"Your sister is here, your mom wants to see you"
Shenzen jumped off the rock and followed his friend back to the clan.
"Why so down" Zacuru asked
"I don't know" Shenzen lied, he was looking forward to have a new sister. When the teen pups return, more and more hyenas were gathering around the matriarch. Nuacka spotted them and wave at them. The teen pups ran over to her.
"How's my mom" Shenzen asked
"She doing fine, she wants to see you" Nuacka said
Shenzen walked through the crowd, put on a fake smile and went up to his mother, who was cleaning his new sister. Shentana looks up and smiles.
"Hi mom" he said
"Hi son, come look at your new sister" she smiled.
Shenzen looks down at the new pup. She was so tiny with gray fur. Her eyes were shut tight and she was wiggling around in his mother's arms. Zacuru stands next to him and look at the pup.
"She's cute, what's her name" Zacuru asked
"Well, I think I'll call her . . . Shenzi" Shentana said
The clan nodded in agreement with the name. Shenzen kept looking at the pup as she whin and move around even more.
"I trust you to watch over her" Shentana ask her son
Before he could speak, Zacuru smacks him on the back "Don't worry, Mrs. Shentana, I'm sure the new big brother would watch over her" he chuckle
Shenzen force himself to smile again.
"I mean how hard bad can one pup be" . . .
