Introduction

The dark bronze lion looked over his shoulder. He was barely older then a cub. His mane had begun to grow down his neck on his chest. It was was black and his eyes were gold. He couldn't believe everything that happened. A sigh escaped him as everything played back...

A growl mixed with his dream but he ignored it. A branch snapping on the ground wove among his dream as well. He was creeping through the forest further out of his play grounds allowed for him being a cub. He spun but as a roar sounded he realized none of the noises he heard were part of his dream. He instantly awoke. Around him lioness were rushing from the den. His mother came to him with his brother by her side.

"Heshima, you and Kikomo must take the other cubs and hide!" She said. He stared past her wide eyed as she lead the from the den. Lioness were leaping on other lions. His family was joined by another lioness with two cubs. They were Imani and her brother Hodari. "Heshima! Are you listening? Kikomo and you are to bring you friends vulture rock and stay hidden until one of the pride comes to get you. Do not leave!"

They tore away from the fight after saying goodbye to their mothers. Heshima saw his father leap from the trees and land in the middle of all the chaos. The four cubs pushed themselves to run faster and faster. The noises of the fight driving them on. The reached vulture rock in less then an hour. It looked like the head of a great bird. The cave they were to hide in would be the beak of the bird. They climbed one by one in to the throat of the rocky beast and crouch huddled against each other.


Notes: I recently decided to start posting fanfics I wrote. Didn't see the point in having written them and then just having them... well there - where ever they had been. Which a lot were either in files on my computer or on paper randomly scattered in various notebooks and folders throughout my house. ^_^

This is a Lion King story I wrote maybe a year ago.
