A small cream cub with a dark brown tuff was focusing on the dirt hole in front of him.

"Hey James!"

The cub stopped digging and seen a chocolate brown cub with amber eyes. "Yes, Sherise"

The brown cub cocked her head to the side. "What ya doing?"

The cream cub grinned his green eyes sparkling. "I'm digging to the other side of the Pride Lands"

The brown cub giggled as she shook her head. "You're weird"

James raised an thin brown eye brow. "I'm weird?"

Sherise nodded with smile running with a squeal as James lounge himself at her. The two ran through the savannah laughing, not even paying attention to where they were going. They soon bumped into a young chocolate brown lioness with blue eyes.

"Mom!" Cried James as he ran over and nuzzled the lioness' leg

The lioness smiled and nuzzled her son before looking at Sherise. "How are you?"

"Fine So"

The lioness smiled before stating why she's there. "Its time to head in. Princess Kiara has announcement to make"

The two cubs smiled before giving each a look.

"Race ya!" James shouted before running off

"Hey! No fair!" Sherise cried before running after her friend

The lioness shook her head with a smile before following the cubs to Pride Rock.

~O~

"Sherise!"

A young chocolate brown lioness blinked her amber eyes opened to see a large grayish cream lion with a grey and black mane with hazel eyes.

"Where's Anira?!"

A sigh escaped the young lioness' dusty brown muzzle. "She's in the cave asleep"

A creepy smile formed on the lion's muzzle. Sherise's eyes widen in fear.

"Hassan no! I could get preagant!"

The lion smiled as he motion himself over the struggling lioness. "Lucky for you I can't make anymore cubs"

Sherise shook her head before getting up to move away. But a large paw struck her against the face. Sending the young the lioness a few feet away. Sherise looks up with blood dripping from her muzzle and fear in her wide amber eyes. The lion walks over with a evil glint in his eyes and with a growl he grabbed the young lioness' nape harshly and made mating process complete. After releasing, Hassan let go. He gave Sherise a long lick over the bite mark before trotting away. Sherise curled herself into a tight ball and closed her eyes as tears slowly slid from her eyes.
