KaylaDestroyer: All your questions will be answered eventually...

Chapter 2: Why They Left

Nala was still asleep by the lake, but she woke up when she had the creepy feeling she wasn't alone. She opened her eyes and saw Roka sitting a few feet away, looking at her. She got to her paws. "What are you? Some sort of weirdo!" she exclaimed. She started to walk away from the water.

Roka followed her. "What?" he asked. "You're just so beautiful when you sleep."

"Go away, you creep." she said. "Simba will come here, and then you'll be sorry."

"Ooooh. I'm scared." Roka said sarcastically. "There's a whole pride here, I don't think he'll be much of a threat."

Nala kept walking, ignoring what Roka was saying. "Just leave me alone."

"You better get used to me being around." Roka said. "We'll be together forever."

"I'd kill myself first..." Nala said quietly.

"I don't understand, Nala." Roka told her. "We used to be best friends. Now, you don't even want to talk to me."

"That was before I discovered how much of a creep you are!" she exclaimed. "Don't even get me started on you're ego."

"I am not creepy!" he told her.

"When I woke up, the first thing I saw was you looking at me." she replied. "That's creepy!"

"And what do you mean my ego?" Roka asked.

"You have too much of one. I'm surprised it's not pouring out your ears." Nala answered.

"What are you talking about?" he asked. "Someone as perfect as me doesn't have too much of an ego."

There was another reason Nala didn't want to be anywhere near him, but she didn't want to talk about it, so she didn't say anything.

Nala just rolled her eyes and kept walking Roka came up to her side. "How about we stop all this arguing and you just kiss me?" he said.

This time, Nala didn't just slap him in the face with her claws just lightly scratching him. She completely unsheathed her claws and scratched him across his face. Blood leaked out of the wounds. Nala kept walking.

"I know you love me!" Roka called after her, but he didn't follow her.

Nala saw that it was getting late, she had to find somewhere to sleep where Prince Creeper wouldn't be able to find her. She climbed up a tree and found a branch to sleep on. She went to sleep for the night hoping Simba and the others would get to her before the wedding the next day.

It was now dark. Everyone was asleep. Simba, Tora, and Mheetu were waiting for Kora and Kula to come out of the den, so they could go save Nala. Kora walked out of the den. "I can't wake her up..." he said. "She keeps hitting me in her sleep everytime I try to wake her up."

"Us four can save Nala, just let her sleep." Simba said. "Let's get going. We should be able to get there tomarrow morning." They all walked down Pride Rock with Mheetu leading them to the Lake Pride. After a few minutes, Simba spoke. "Mheetu, do you know anything about that cub, Roka?"

"Yes." Mheetu answered. "Back when we lived in his pride, he and Nala were best friends, but I never liked him."

"Why?" Simba asked.

"He always treated me like dirt." Mheetu continued. "He was always saying how worthless I was and calling me other things." he paused. "He even almost killed me once..." Everyone just looked at him in silence, he continued. "He only didn't because he was afraid Nala would never speak to him again."

"Didn't you tell her?" Tora asked.

"Of course, but she didn't believe me at first." Mheetu replied. "Then she found out what he was really like. One day she found him beating me up. After that, she wanted nothing to do with him."

"What happened after that?" Kora asked Mheetu.

"He... started to change." Mheetu said. "He started acting creepy all the time, he even stalked us one day."

"Okay... We really need to get there." Tora said.

"The king of the Lake Pride, Roka's father, is much worse." Mheetu said. "He's an absolute monster."

"W-what did he do?" Kora stuttered.

Mheetu didn't like to talk about it, but he told them anyway. "He killed our father..." he said. "Our dad told the king we were leaving the pride, but the king said that he would kill all of us if we tried. He and my father got into a fight, and my dad was killed. We ran away soon after."

They all walked in silence. Now, they all knew how dangerous it was going to this pride. There was a good chance that they wouldn't return...

Nala woke up the next day. She climbed down the tree she had slept in and didn't see Roka anywhere.

"Good morning." a voice said from behind Nala, it startled her and she jumped.

"Could you not do that." she said to Roka, who had been behind the tree. "I'm really not happy today."

"Cheer up!" Roka said happily. "We're getting married today."

"Ah, yes... the source of my misery..." Nala said flatly.

"Oh, don't be that way." he told her. "It'll be great!"

"When is it?" she asked.

"The official ceremony will be at sundown." Roka answered.

Good. Nala thought to herself. Simba will have plenty of time to get here. "Yay..." was Nala's lifeless response.

"See!" Roka exclaimed. "I told you that you'd warm up to the idea."

Nala rolled her eyes and walked away with Roka following her like a lost puppy. Kill me... she thought to herself.

A/N: Wow... Is Roka creepy or what... I'm not sure whose worse, Roka or Sora. At least Sora isn't so creepy about how he does things. Well, now we know why Nala and her family left their old pride. Will Simba and the others save her from the creepiest cub ever, or will they be killed trying? Only way to find out is to come back for the next update! :P Remember to Review! Thanks!
