I must remember my pride
Summary: Two shot. When Nala leaves her broken home to find help she takes one last look. And years later her daughter, Kiara, leaves her home that broke on the inside and does the same.
1. My pride: I am doing this for you.
Nala shivered from the cold as she stared at her home.
Once it was filled of light, happiness and love. King Mufasa ruled over it all, wisely and caring. And her friend, his son, was always there running around the place and filling her with even more happiness.
Now it had broken down.
Now, Mufasa was dead, killed in a stampede along with Simba. Who heart broke the most, she wasn't sure. Losing her friend that she had grown to love was too much. The king was her friend too even through he was higher, mighty and a father. When Scar had told them she could only think of her pain.
That was why she stayed.
She had watched her home crash. The hyenas had moved in and hunting to them was a rampaged. They hunted not just food, for fun, for boredom, for anything. Soon everything was a graveyard, the surviving pray had fled.
But still she didn't open her eyes.
She still felt the pain of losing Simba and deep within her selfishness. She just sat there and watched it happen. Her friends and her family suffered from Scar's wraith if they tried to stand up to him and she watched them all.
Perhaps that why he noticed her. She wasn't loyal but she didn't fight. Inside her she did care but it was too deep inside. She couldn't get it out. Also she was young and still had a spirit, forgotten as it was, that had to be crushed by him. Scar told her she was to marry him.
In her selfishness she had refused. He was old and cruel. No way would she marry him even if she became queen.
When her friend told her she should, that was the eye opener.
Her friend didn't want her marrying the king either. He was an arrogant evil fool. But if she was queen then she could help.
Nala knew that it would be vain. Scar never listens to anyone.
But her eyes had been opened. Her spirit was released at long last. She held the power to save her pride. To do what they couldn't. Leave for help.
So that was why Nala was walking away from pride rock, her home. Why she glance back, so sadly and regretfully. She wished she was like them and didn't have the guts to leave the safety.
But it wasn't safe. It wasn't home, not anymore. The only way to get back her home was to leave.
Nala turned away and fled, crying to her self. I must remember my pride.
If anyone has ever seen the musical they know this is base on the song 'Shadowlands/I must remember my pride' This is what I thought would happen when Nala leaves. Please Review.
