The three hyenas managed to get to Lindosias before the sun disappeared behind the tallest mountain. The sky was a pinkish colour with purple streaks here and there. It was a sight to behold. The three made their way down a slippery rocky path near a river until the familiar sights of home were seen.

"Nearly there," the gruff one said in his deep voice. They were panting heavily as they had ran for over 3 hours. The cubs they were carrying had slept most of the way but when they woke up the new sights distracted them from the danger they were in.

Eventually the three arrived to find the rest of their pack waiting. The leader of the village Kayak smiled evily when he laid eyes on the defenceless cubs in the hyenas grasp.

"And why are these lion cubs here?" He asked, the three dumped the cubs on the ground and proceeded to explain.

"Minku found the nursery nest and called me over. We grabbed them without thinking. They might be useful sir, I mean look at the size of this newborn Ahadi got a hold of! She looks like a fighter," the deep voiced one said.

"But Scar betrayed us, sir," Minku said her head down.

"Brilliant! We could raise them as our own! Then we can re-take over the Pridelands! Oh i am a genius," Kayak exclaimed. Minku and Ahadi exchanged glances.

"Who will care for these cubs?" Asked Ahadi. Kayak examined the cubs. He picked up Sarafina's cub.

"This strong fella will be my prince," he declared slowly walking off.

"Hey what about the other two?" Minku demanded. Kayak shrugged.

"You three sort it out," Kayak said and before anyone could object he was gone.

"I'll gather up the rest of the pack," Ahadi said walking off.

"Okay then Jojo and me will look after these little darlings," Minku said gesturing her and the deep voiced male. Jojo growled under his breath- he didn't want to play babysitter.

The two cubs were not that much of a handful (considering one was less than a day old). Jojo was looking after Sarabi's cub whilst Minku was watching Nala's.

"I think I am gonna call you..," Jojo said but Minku cut him off.

"Don't name them, you will get attached!" Minku licked the newborn cub infront of her. Jojo rolled his eyes.

"What if I am already attached," Jojo admitted as the little yellow cub snuggled into his grey fur. Minku was shocked.

"Really? You? One of the toughest members of our pack wants to adopt a lion cub? Ha! When warthogs fly!" Minku said guffawing at the thought. Jojo stared at her.

"I am serious!" He said growling. Minku decided to test. She got up and attempted to get the cub off him. Jojo clawed her lightly so he wouldn't leave a mark but tough enough to tell her to leave. She moved away.

"Ok maybe you are serious..," Minku agreed sighing in defeat.

"Now if you don't mind I am going to name my new daught- I mean lion cub," Jojo said. Many names went around his head: Star, Luna, Kristen... They didn't sound right. It suddenly came to him, his great grandmother's name.

"I am gonna call you Ni," he declared giving the cub a friendly lick. He smiled for the first time in ages.

Eventually Ahadi returned with the rest of the pack. They all seated themselves around the three hyenas. Minku explained everything from the beginning.

"So now we just need a parent for this newborn cub," Ahadi finished and the pack was silent. None of them wanted to look after a lion cub especially a newborn one.

"Hello? I said we need a carer for this little cub!" Ahadi said repeating his question. All was silent for five minutes until one female spoke out.

"I will look after her," She said. Everyone made way so she could go to the front.

"Ok Kiani, if you need anything tell us," Minku said handing the newborn to Kiani. The hyena smiled and went to her cave with her new child.

The crowd dispersed leaving the three alone again.

"Glad thats over!" Ahadi said, laying on the ground with a thud. Jojo growled.

"Hey Ni is trying to sleep here!" Jojo whispered cradling his cub. Ahadi rolled his eyes.

"I'm going to bed," he moaned walking off. Jojo did the same heading in the other direction.

"Bye then," Minku said.

Jojo laid the yellow cub in the warmest part of the cave he could find. However the cub protested to go back to sleep.

"Stubborn little thing," He said curling round the small creature. She still wouldn't sleep," I am not gonna sing you to sleep!" Jojo complained. But the cub looked at him with the sweetest blue eyes.

"Ugh ok," Jojo said finally giving in:

"Hush little lion cub, drift off in the night,

When you wake up you will see the morning light.

I will be your guardian during the day,

I will keep you out of harms way.

And if anyone one makes fun of you

Daddy will hurt them and that is true,"

Jojo licked the head of his cub tenderly, the cub giggled then went to sleep. Jojo did the same...
