Agony

Kopa had decided to wander out of the den of Priderock one night, not being able to sleep. It was very hazy, with visibility only being about 10 feet.

"Wow, never been out here like this!" He said to himself. He looked at the moon. He saw it was a bright red. "Weird, never seen it like that. I'll check with dad when he gets up." He moved to the edge of the Pridelands, near the border of the outlands.

"Well, this is much more boring than I thought, might as well head home." He said to himself.

"Not so fast young prince." A voice said behind Kopa. He turned around and was looking into the face of Zira. Her eyes were much redder than he remembered. "You forgot one spot!" She said to him, almost shouting.

"Where?"

"Follow me." Zira turned around, walking to a place unknown to Kopa. Soon they arrived and the haze lifted. Kopa was looking down a steep cliff into a gorge, the gorge his father had told him to never go to. "This is one of the greatest sights in all the Pridelands!" Zira shouted. Kopa took a few steps back. "What's wrong little prince! Scared?"

"No, dad told me to never go down here. I think it has to do with my grandfather. Dad has never told why though, he just always says it's for a later time though."

"Because it was where Simba killed Mufasa!" Zira shouted.

"What!?" Kopa took several steps back.

"And do who killed my beloved Scar?" She was still yelling.

"The hyenas."

"Wrong, Simba killed him, and in return, I will kill one of his beloved, you!" Her eyes were a fiery red now. She suddenly grabed a stick from nearby and put it right through Kopa's left paw. He yelled in pain and tried to move, but the stick was too far into the ground. "And I'm going to enjoy every part of it!" She said with a crackle.

No, not today... Kopa thought to himself over the pain. "You won't get away with this Zira!" Kopa yelled.

"I think I already have." She put head near Kopa's. Suddenly he attacked, but was quickly subdued by Zira, but not before Kopa tore a chunk out of her left ear. "You brat!" She yelled in pain. "For this, you will receive the mark of Scar!" She unhinged her claws and swiped across his face, leaving a scar over his left eye. She then removed the stick from his paw, allowing him to run. He didn't feel the pain; all he thought about was surviving. He eventually found a rock to hide under. Then the pain set in.

I can't die like this... Not today...

"Come out little prince! Meet your fate like a real lion!" Kopa suddenly heard Zira's voice.

Be very quiet...

"And I have a little something for you!"

Be still...

"Kopa!" Simba yelled.

"Dad!" Kopa yelled running out of the rock, coming face to face with Zira.

"Got ya!" Zira said in a growl.

"No..." Tears coming out of Kopa's eyes. He saw Zira's paw... then nothing.


AN: Let me know on how it was. Also, please review!
