" Lion King 3: Vitani's Sisterhood "
Chapter 1Vitani: POV-
The prides had finally come together, a peace had been made. Kovu and I although, even if they were evil, had lost their brother and mother both on the same day. That night, I sat on the edge of the cliff that my mother had last been on, mourning her. "Why must there always be death before there is any peace?" I shouted to the sky. " and why did my mother have to be so evil?". By then the river had slowed its rush through the gorge, settling into a steady flow. I walked back to Pride rock, as sister of royalty I was allowed to sleep in the den for royalty and royal family. I curled up in the corner of the den, and went to sleep. That night I slept dreamlessly.
" Rise and shine, Tani, There is some news to be spread!". I stood up to see who had woke me up, and not unlikely to my surprise, it was Kovu. " What are you talking about?" I said drowsily. I stretched and followed him into the early morning light. I noticed that the pride was slowly gathering at the bottom of the Pride Rock. I sighed and went to join. After all had settled, Kiara began to speak. " Fellow pride mates, We have 2 great things to tell you." She looked over at Kovu excitedly, and then began again. " My father has given me and my mate, Kovu to have cubs." The pride roared with excitement at the thought of more cubs. " the second thing is, since it was a rule only one lioness besides the queen, would be chosen to have cubs with her mate, was differed, and lioness' with a loyal and passionate mates may have cubs, all you have to do is tell us you are trying for cubs." A group of lionesses looked at each other with totally ecstatic expressions. 'They obviously had mates.
Unlike me, tomboy Vitani, who never has been loved.' I thought to myself. 'I wish I had a loyal passionate mate, I really want to have cubs…' my thought was broken off as Kiara rushed down to meet me." Oh, Vitani! I can't believe Kovu and I can try for cubs!" she piped loudly. " yeah, yeah that's so great, you will have beautiful cubs!" I said with false enthusiasm. Its true about their cubs being beautiful, but I was still bummed on not having a mate of my own. I shook that thought out of my head. I mean I'm Vitani I don't need a mate. Pfft…
Chapter 2Kiara: POV-
It was the day after the big announcement, and I was still very happy. We had tried for cubs last night and were going to see if I was pregnant. We would have to go to Rafiki. Around sun high we went to Rafiki's Tree and had him see. " Ahh..Kiara, You will be having twins!". I looked excitedly at Kovu and mouthed the words, twins! Kovu was beaming. We walked together peacefully as everyone wanted to hear , the news spread quickly too. " Oh, Kiara!" My mother, Nala said, " That's just great! I bet they're going to be beautiful!" my mother had tears of joy running down her face. My father, Simba had the same reaction - minus the tears. It was the same thing all throughout the day excited squeals and bouncing lionesses up and down while congratulating us. By the end of the day we were e.x.h.a.u.s.t.e.d.! We curled up and fell to sleep quickly.
Chapter 3Vitani: POV -
* 5 months later* I was so excited for my brother and Kiara. Twin cubs? I'm going to be an Aunt! Later that day I decided to go for a stroll. I was so lost in thought, with being and Aunt soon, the new pride, and of course the un-avoidable, having no mate, I walked right into a rock. Or so I thought. Whatever it was I ran from it to hide in the grass. All of a sudden it was on top of me. I looked up and saw the most handsome lion I had ever seen.
He looked at me and jumped up. " Oh sorry!" He said. I was still dazed by his dark black mane and blue-grey fur. Especially his bright green eyes. " Are you okay" he said. " Oh…Uh…Umm yeah, yes I'm fine…" I managed to spit out. "Oh, good, I'm Lavi, and who are you?" he asked. " I'm Vitani, nice to meet you…". 'Wait…Who is this guy!' I thought as I crouched defensively over my lands. "Hey, wait whoa what are you do-AH!" he screamed as I pinned him to the ground. " What are you doing in the Pride Lands?" I spat at him. He'd better not be an intruder! " What do you mean Pride Lands? What's that?" I loosened up a little. " I mean in our pride territory!". " I didn't know there was a pride here, Honest!" he said trying to get out of my grip. Thank god I am so strong. "I'm just a rogue looking for a pride!". I wondered if he would be able to join. " Okay…but you'll have to come with me to Kovu and Kiara. Let's move!". I let go and started towards Pride Rock, and loyally he followed…I ….could get used ….to this…
Chapter 4Kiara: POV-
Kovu and I were just sharing tongues when Vitani entered. With a male lion. Kovu jumped up immediately. "Vitani! Who is this?" he roared as he rushed up to the strange male. I noticed the way Vitani was looking at him… she looked at this lion in awe…with passion.. I couldn't let Kovu get rid of him. " This is Lavi he claims to be a rogue looking for a pride, I stumbled upon him while on a stroll… I believe he is legit." she said matter-of-factly. ' Yup she definitely fell for him' I thought to myself. I got up and sat next to Kovu. " Well I don't care if we is looking for one or not, he is not to enter our pride." Kovu said.
Lavi looked down at his paws. I moved over next to him and Vitani. Kovu had a wildly confused expression on his face he looked at me and asked "What are you doing Kiara?". " I am on Vitani and his side, he is staying.". Kovu snorted and walked out of the den. I looked at Vitani and she had her eyes wide. We would need to talk later. I looked to Lavi and he was still looking at his paws. I said " No matter what , you will be treated like a part of the pride here.". He looked up and smiled. Then he walked off to the watering hole.
It was time to talk to Vitani. " Kiara, how'd you know I wanted him to stay?" she whispered. " Tani, I saw they way you looked at him, I wouldn't take that away from you." She blushed. " I do kind of like him…" she admitted. "Ow…OUCH!" I yelled. It's time for the cubs! Vitani looked at me as I layed down on my side. " The cubs!" I panted. She jumped up and ran to go get help. I sat there getting ready to birth my cubs when Mom and Daddy rushed in shortly followed by Kovu and a few others. After an hour I had given birth to my two beautiful cubs.
One was male and one was female. "What are their names?" Kovu asked quietly trying not to wake my cubs. " Well the female is Lerana, and the male is Kuro." I said in a tone matching his. He smiled widely. " Those are great names" Lavi said from behind him. Kovu was agitated by his appearance but decided not to spoil the mood. Vitani was next to Lavi, almost touching him, but he was the one leaning closer…Oh my he loved her too!
Chapter 5Vitani: POV-
I decided to ask Lavi to go on a walk with me…And he actually said yes! We walked down to a small rock which we both sat on. Lavi was looking into my eyes. "Lavi?" I asked in a small voice. "Yes?" he asked. " Well, I was talking to Kiara and…Well…I need to say…I love you…". His eyes widened then his expression softened even more than it already was. I blushed and turned away waiting for a remark. But then he nuzzled me and licked my cheek. I looked at him. He said "I truly, with all my soul, Love you too, Vitani."… and that was the first night with Lavi, watching the stars together as they shot across the sky.
In the morning I woke and Lavi was standing outside the den. I stretched and walked up to him. " Hey" I said , " why are you up so early?". " I need to talk to you Vitani. About last night. I regret telling you I love you." . Right then my head started spinning as he continued. " I can't stay anymore now. I will hurt you, I don't feel accepted here. I have to go." he stood up and stalked off into the light of the just-rising sun. I looked over the edge of pride rock and too dizzy to catch myself ,fell off the mighty rock.
Chapter 6Kiara: POV-
All I heard was a scream. And I jolted up. I couldn't see anything wrong so I decided it was a nightmare. But then I heard it again. An agonized scream. This time I woke Kovu up. " W-what? Is there something wrong with the cubs?" he said as he jumped up. " No! No, listen.". There it was, again and again. Screaming. He just noticed what I noticed. Vitani missing. And we both knew who she was with last night. Lavi. No , no it couldn't be! " Come on!" I Yelled as I moved my cubs to a safer spot in the den. We went outside to look for her , Just then Daddy and Mom also rushed towards us. " Are you all right?" they asked simultaneously. "Yes, but Vitani and Lavi went out last night. And Vitani Hasn't returned." Just then another blood curdling scream cut us in mid-sentence. " neither did Lavi!" Daddy choked out. "mom ,dad watch my cubs, me and Kovu will search!".
We ran down to the back of pride rock, nothing and then we checked everywhere else. We wouldn't have expected to find her at the bottom of pride rock. I spotted her as she started to scream again. "Vitani! We're here, it's alright!" I said as I ran up to her. Just then I realized she was bleeding a lot from her side and her leg was broken in two different places. " Oh god Vitani!" Kovu roared as he ran up next to me. " Did Lavi do this to you? I'm going to rip his head off!". "N-no…I….Fell….off…Pride rock…all...M-my.. f-fault…" She stuttered as she took in quick shallow breaths. " She's bleeding too much. Kovu go get Rafiki!".
Chapter 7Vitani: POV-
All I knew is that my leg was broken, and I had a cut on my side. "Well she definitely has a fractured leg, so I had put a splint on it! Another think is that nasty gash on her side, that should heal soon. Absolute heal time will be 3 weeks. Her leg is only fractured, so it won't take as long as a broken leg." he said cheerfully as he left the den. " Oh Kiara, I miss Lavi.".
She looked at me sympathetically and then Kovu whispered in her ear. After that she whispered back. And back and forth whispering. Then they both looked at me. I said "What?" agitatedly. "Well…We had a search party go out and find Lavi. And they found him on his way back. He said he was confused and then he realized he truly belonged here with you…" Kiara said. "What?" I roared. " Lavi's back?". "Yes, he feels really bad about your leg and cut, so he went to the pride den to try to think of an apology." Kovu said. " Well I can't really walk right now, can you go get him and tell him coming back is an apology in itself!" I asked Kovu. "Uh…Sure Tani!" he replied as he got up and walked off to get Lavi.
' I can't believe it! Lavi's back, because I am here and not with him out there!' I thought to myself. "Tani, are you mad at him at all?" Kiara asked me. " Heck no! He came back and that's what matters!" I said cheerfully. "Uh…Hey Tani" a voice said from behind me. I turned my head upside down to look behind me and there he was. My Lavi. I went to go get up but fell back down. " ouch, gotta get used to not walking for a while, ha ha!" I said to him. "listen Vitani, I'm soo sorry abo-." "Shh. Its ok Lavi, it wasn't your fault I fell, I just got dizzy and fell… off the edge of pride rock..". He obviously didn't know I was up that high when I fell because his jaw dropped and he said " All the way up there you fell?". I giggled. " yeah clumsy me" I said while laughing. He giggled too. "To even think I'd leave this behind, I was crazy!" He smiled. "well I'm the one who decided to lean over the edge of pride rock while being dizzy!" all the lions in the room laughed. I finally fell asleep, able to know my mate was back again.
