I can't get away, mother? Father? Someone! I had to keep running those eyes; I had to get away from those eyes. I skidded to a stop, where could I go next? He would be coming to get me soon, him and his eyes; I can't get them out of my head! Tears began to pour down my cheeks and still I ran, I would keep running.

"Help!" I was screaming why couldn't they hear my scream? Why weren't they coming to help me! I could hear him laughing, his dark laughing he was taunting me, coming to make me suffer again. No, no I couldn't take it, I couldn't deal with those words again! I was running I could hear the pounding like animals coming after me. I jumped and sunk my claws into a ledge. He was coming I knew he was coming I had to climb to the top.

"Please help me!" I stared up and relief filled me, my best friend reaching up I looked into those normally loving eyes and for once found myself confused.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" I asked confused, this wasn't the loving gaze that I woke up to every morning, they reached out and for a second a smile found its way to my face until I let out a pained fill roar as sharp claws dug into my paws.

"Liar...you lied. You murderer...." My eyes begin to water slightly,

"What are you..." I looked up my eyes locked on dark green ones, those cold dark eyes, they corrupted me corrupted life. Corrupted us all! I shot a pleadingly look at my lover before I felt the harsh shove, I was falling, flying backwards and all I could do was scream...

"SIMBA!" Nala screamed fearfully her head shooting up as her mate and king of the pride lands stared at her shocked she flattened her ears and moved away from him. How could she even dream that? He would never, ever do something like that to her. She tried to smile and assure him she was fine silently before he moved towards her making her go rigid

"Nala what's wrong?" He inquired softly she shut her eyes and looked again he was gazing at her lovingly he was worried no doubt but he loved her. She chocked back a sob before she leapt forward and rubbed her head in his thick mane, her tears getting caught in his fur. Simba was stunned but wrapped a paw around her, finally she calmed down and Simba saw something that unnerved him. She seemed, almost frightened of him unsure Simba planted a soft kiss on her cheek before nuzzling her, his efforts were rewarded when a soft purr escaped her throat.

"It was a nightmare. It's gone now I'm here." He said softly before laying down with her again this time wrapping a paw around her and pulling her close she stiffened a bit and slowly relaxed, he put his head on top of hers and the two drifted back to a peaceful sleep. The next morning Nala found herself jumping at almost every little thing she sighed shaking her head

"This is........this is ridiculous he's dead. He can't hurt me anymore." She said to herself before looking over her back one more time, walking towards the water hole she begin to sink into the water, deeper she went until she was up to her head, she was alright and calm. Suddenly someone called her name

"Nala...." She jumped and as if she had never swam before she found herself panicking, she couldn't stay on top of the water before she could gasp she was sinking into the bottom before she was submerged she heard one last splash. She started to think about what was happening, Simba, Sarabi her mother. Would they miss her? Why did she have to be so stupid? So worthless? She felt someone tug her and in a matter of minutes she was back on land, coughing she blinked a few times to see Simba staring down worried he was breathing irregularly and water dripped from his thick mane.

"Nala are you ok? Nala.......Nala!" Simba nuzzled her making her come to as she smiled weakly trying to ignore the fact she had just barely escaped death by drowning as Simba continued to stare down at her.

"I'm alright, what happened?" She asked tiredly as Simba sighed visibly relieved

"You almost drowned, why did you go out that far? I thought you could swim!" He said clearly confused as she flattened her ears again making Simba back up almost hurt. Nala immediately felt over come with guilt and smiled, standing up she nuzzled him

"I'm fine really; I haven't felt good it's alright." She reassured him before pulling away Simba frowned and prepared to open his mouth when Zazu landed; looking at the soaking wet royal couple obviously wondering what happened Nala smiled

"Hello Zazu." She said affectionately as the bird smiled back and landed on her shoulder before looking at Simba

"Your majesties, your mothers have been looking for you." He said quietly before Nala shook herself soaking both the bird and her mate, she grinned before planting a warm kiss on Simbas cheek and stepping back.

"I'm alright really, I'm going to go see them now or they'll never let us rest." She added over her shoulder before running off, she wasn't sure why she felt the need to get away from her mate but she did. Simba watched her go confused, had he done something? Did all females act this way, he certainly couldn't remember his mother acting this way towards his father. The young king was hurt slightly by his mates actions, in the beginning she was loving caring gentle even seductive at times. Now she acted as if she didn't want to be within 10 feet of him at times

"Problem your highness?" Zazu asked Simba sympathetically before the lion king sighed

"She's been acting so weird....I don't know what to do....my father..." Zazu sighed surprisingly cutting the king off before he was finished speaking before the bird flapped his wings shaking to get the water off.

"Her majesty is probably just busy, the pride lands do need their queen you know. Perhaps you should surprise her.....a night for the two of you alone. Away from everyone." Zazu advised as Simba frowned thoughtfully, Nala had been hunting but the more he thought about it. She didn't seem hungry lately the best of the meat was for them yet she never touched her share instead she would hand it to a lioness she thought deserved it or one of their mothers. Zazu put a wing on Simbas shoulder

"Would you like for me to get her my lord?" He said politely as Simba nodded almost bashfully with that Zazu nodded flying off after the young queen. Simba watched him leave before he turned to stare at himself in the water, he had grown to look more like his father in the short amount of time and that only added to his stress as the new king. Nala had made it easy along with his mother and even her mother proved helpful to him. He smiled as he thought about all the time they spent together to make up for the lost moment's, suddenly he felt UN easy. Why hadn't Zazu come back yet? Looking up he frowned

"Zazu? Nala?" Not waiting any longer his feet begin to pound on the ground as he ran in the direction of Nala and Zazu. Slowing to a halt Nala swayed slightly. Did it get hotter? Maybe she should go back for Simba, he really did deserve an explanation for why she had been acting so weird. "But what am I gonna say? I…..I can't tell him that Scar…." Before she could remember what she was doing or where she was going for that matter she swayed again, it started to darken and she was sure the sun wasn't setting yet, she fell with a thud and Zazu calling her name was the last thing she remembered.

Rafiki shook his head as he rubbed Nala's head Simba. Sarabi and Nala's mother Sarafina were all pacing outside the den as the old friend worked on the future queen. He was surprised to get a visit from his old friend warning him dark times were ahead of them. He put a hand to Nala's forehead before she groaned and he sighed relieved.

"Nala...." He said as she looked up shocked, he smiled sadly at her before calling her mother and Sarabi in, Sarafina quickly ran to her side and nuzzled her obviously worried her eyes watered as she examined her daughter all over before she sighed and nodded her head at Rafiki silently thanking him. Rafiki let the two older Lionesses comfort her before he cleared his throat

"You talk..." He said walking out to talk to Simba, Sarabi looked at Nala before frowning sadly

"The nightmares....they haven't happened again have they?" She asked worried as Nala looked down at her paws and Sarafina rubbed her head along her daughters back before sighing

"You need to tell Simba..." She said making Nala go rigid and look back and forth at the two pleadingly

"Oh please, please don't tell him! Please!" She said making Sarabi look at Sarafina and shake her head sadly Nala looked at her mother her eyes sad and pleadingly, Sarafina turned away un able to handle the pain she saw in her daughters eyes before she sighed and looked down at the floor of the cave. Getting up she walked around before looking at Sarabi and Nala

"He deserves to know but.......for now....we won't say anything." She said making Nala sigh relieved, Sarabi nuzzled the girl before Rafiki came back in his face grave, Nala stared horrified wondering if he had told her secret before he shook his head and she relaxed he put a hand on her shoulder and rubbed her head before he looked at Sarabi and Sarafina sadly. They both stared back curious and he rubbed Nalas head once more she stood up and almost fell back down before her mother and Sarabi both helped her remain standing.

"Rafiki?" Sarabis grave voice broke the old monkey's heart

"She's.......with cub." He said quietly as all three stared and Nala shook her head slowly backing up as Sarafina and Sarabi looked at Rafiki each wondering the same thing.

"It will be a cross of good and evil raised in the wrong ways she could be a truly evil child." He warned before Nala felt tears flood her eyes she shook her head slowly before she laid back down, chocking back the sobs she stared at Rafiki who could only gaze back sympathetically before he walked over to her slowly. Putting a red liquid across her head as he had done Simba

"The cub is Scars child..."
