Sandra sat outside the den in the morning as the sun rose on the horizon. A little time had past since they had met Scar's sons, and Sandra hadn't seen them again, and she was happy about that. The pride had also gained a new member. They had a new cub Leonora, who had been found wandering around the land all by herself. She was about the same age as Sandra, maybe even a little older. But Sandra liked her. She tended to hang around Leonora more than anybody else.

Sandra began to get bored so she got to her paws and headed down to the watering hole. She got a drink before sitting on top of her favorite rock and stared at the water. She was tempted to go for a swim but she knew that she would have to get back soon or else Kiara would get worried. She hopped off the rock and started to head back before she heard the sound of paw steps behind her. She glanced over her shoulder and sighed when she saw Kyoya. "Not very stealthy are you?" she asked.

"I wasn't trying to be," Kyoya said.

"Just go away. You're not supposed to be here anyway," Sandra growled, beginning to walk off once more. She halted suddenly when Kyoya stepped in her way.

"Too scared to stick around? That's not the impression I got the other say," he taunted.

Sandra bared her teeth with anger, but she quickly swallowed her sharp retort and forced her voice to sound calm. "I'm just following my dad's wishes," she replied, stepping past him.

"You're Daddy's Girl, aren't you?" Kyoya sneered.

Sandra's anger rose and she dug her claws into the earth. "Get out of here before I rip your fur off!" she growled.

"Now there's the one I met," Kyoya said.

"Didn't you hear me? Get out!" Sandra snapped.

"You can't tell me what to do, Princess," Kyoya pointed out.

"My name's not Princess! It's Sandra!" Sandra growled.

"Ok then, Sandra, why are you so much different from your friends?" Kyoya asked.

Sandra blinked in confusion. "What do you mean?"

"You aren't like them. They weren't as good at fighting, they all were frightened by Vashon and they barely made a mark on my friends, but somehow you were able to do the exact opposite of all those things," Kyoya explained.

"That doesn't mean anything," Sandra replied, turning to leave.

"Don't leave me without an answer!" Kyoya growled, running in front of her and pinning her down. "My father told me not to hang around you! I'm defying my father, now you defy yours!"

Sandra narrowed her eyes. "Why do you want to know so badly?"

"I just do, ok?" Kyoya answered.

"Fine! You want to know?" Sandra pushed Kyoya up off of her and pinned him down. "It probably is because my father used to be an Outlander, and Scar's heir. Kovu taught me to fight and I've always had a sharp tongue since I was younger. And Vashon's no big deal! Neither are you, or any of your little friends!" Sandra leaped off Kyoya and padded away. "If I see you again, you'd better come up with an answer to my question. You better have a reason." With that she ran off before Kyoya could stop her. What is with him? He should know that if he's seen he'll be killed!

When Sandra reached Pride Rock, the first lion she saw was Leonora, who padded up to her. "Where were you?" she asked.

"Down by the water hole," Sandra answered. "I wasn't gone that long. I was the first one up anyway."

"Well, I was planning to go for a walk. Do you want to come?" Leonora offered.

"Sure, I'd love to," Sandra answered. Leonora led the way as they headed off into the Pride Lands.

Ok, a few notes:

Yes, I will be updating Sandra's Secret when I get around to it. I have what you might call a cycle. I be into one story at one point and then I'll move on to another one. So eventually, I will get back to it, but I do not have a set date.

And yes Scar was dead. But to make this a little more interesting, I brought him back. Plus there's no way we can say for sure that he's dead. For all we know, it just looked like he died when he actually escaped and found somewhere else to live. :)

Please R&R :)
