AN: This is one about Nala's reaction to Simba's death. Please review and let me know what you guys think, I really appreciate it!
Loss of a Friend
Nala was in the den of Priderock along with Sarafina, and several other lionesses. It has been a day since the death of Mufasa and Simba.
"Simba is dead." Nala kept repeating to herself. She couldn't believe it. Her best friend, dead. She laid her head on Sarafina and started to cry. All Sarafina could do was hug her daughter. While this was happening, Scar came into the den. The pride looked up and he announced, "The king's body has been buried, Simba's on the other hand..." he trailed off to let the moment sink in for the pride, "All that was left was this bone." He lifted that looked like a rib bone to show the pride. "It seems that a group of buzzards found his body. I saw them huddled around it," He let out a fake, but realistic sigh, "I tried to save what was left, but to no avail." Nala approached Scar, looking at what she thought was her friend. "Simba, no..." She broke down crying. Suddenly something hit her and knocked her back several feet onto her back. Next thing Nala saw was her mother standing between her and Scar.
"How dare you hit my daughter!" Sarafina yelled to Scar.
"She broke one of the laws of the lands. The punishment could have been much worse, why, she could have been tonight's dinner for the hyenas." Scar replied, turning his back to those in the den.
"And what law is that?" Sarafina demanded.
"No mentioning the former prince or king's name in my presence!" He yelled, turning around, looking into Sarafina's eyes. Suddenly he grinned. "Why Sarafina, why don't you and I have a little talk where no one will bother us?" He said adding a little charm to his voice.
"No Scar, not today, and not ever." She replied.
"What if," He rushed over to Nala, being too fast for Sarafina to catch him, "Your daughter's life was on the line?" He smiled menacingly, extending a claw by Nala's neck.
"Mom, Help!" She yelled.
"Shh, yelling will make it worse." Scar said to Nala. "But if you want to do so, more fun for me."
"Fine, you win Scar." With that from Sarafina's mouth, Scar let Nala go and headed out with Sarafina. Sarabi came over to her. "Are you all right?"
"I think so." Nala said in reply.
Suddenly Scar's head appeared into the den. "Oh Nala, I forgot something..." he said while throwing something to her. It landed right in front of her. She yelped at the sight and ran behind Sarabi. It was the rib bone from Simba's body. Sarabi instead of running from it though, walked up to it, looked down at it, and sighed. "My child." She closed her eyes and bowed her head. Tears were dripping from her eyes, many hitting the bone. Nala emerged from behind Sarabi, and walked to the bone. She looked at her friend one last time and went to a corner of the den where she stayed all night, mourning the loss of her closest friend.
