.:This is my first story, I love, love, love The Lion King and I hope you enjoy my writing style and stories. P.S. all of my made up cub's names are in Swahili:.

Nala is running though the desert with a gloomy Pride Rock slowly shrinking in the distance.

I don't understand it. I wasn't ready for it. Scar took me by surprise. He made me run away from my only family, my only friends. If only Simba was still alive, he wouldn't have let him do this. Simba would have made sure he never climbed to the throne. Oh Simba, why did you and your father have to die? Why did the wildebeests have to stampede when you were playing in that canyon? If you hadn't gone he wouldn't have done that awful thing he did.

.:Flashback:.

Nala is cowering in a corner, a tall shadow similar to Scar's is slowly approaching her.

Nala stops and shakes her head to get rid of the thought. She kicks a rock with her paw, hard.

Ouch! Grrr! This wouldn't normally bug me. Oh Simba!

Nala continues to run

An oasis. Good, maybe I'll finally get some food. Good god, hewas such an awful leader, nobody was fed. And hewondered why all of hiscubs, all of my cubs died.

.:Flashback:.

Nala is curled up with a weak, pasty cub. Scar comes up.

"How is little Hofu? It's a tragedy about little Tepetevu and I was sure Mrithi would live, he looked like the strongest one out of them all. Oh well, we will just have to keep trying if young Hofu here dies. We'll try again and again and again if we have to."

Nala cringes at the word again

"No, no need to try again. I'm sure my little lion will live. (more to self than anyone else) He's just got to."

"No, I don't think this one will do, just look at him, scrawny, weak, insignificant. No, he will never do."

Scar then kills little Mofu and flings him into a very large pile of dead cubs. Nala begins to sob.

"Now make sure these are all big, strong, healthy boys. You don't want to add to your little pile of misery now do you? I'll be back in half an hour, make sure your nice and pretty and over what's-his-name."

Scar exits the cave and as he leaves the flashback ends

"No, never again. I will have a new, happy life here!"

Nala stalks off into the jungle and a few silent minutes pass. We hear a warthog scream "She's going to eat me!"
