Chapter 2: Rafiki's Warning
The next morning was cold and foggy. Rafiki made his way from his tree to Pride Rock to warn the Pride about the attack that was going to happen. He was almost there and he could see zebra herds and wildebeasts running round the savanna grass.
Suddenly the old mandrill heard a cry. It wasn't just any cry, it was a cry of a young animal, maybe a lion.
"Help! HELP! PLEASE! Don't kill me!", a small screaming voice pleaded.
Rafiki knew he had to help. He made his way quickly over to the sound of the voice. After a small time, he could see a small cub surrounded by two hyenas. Rafiki furrowed his brows. There hadn't been hyenas in the Pridelands since Scar died.
"Little one! Don't worry, I will help you! Stay there!", Rafiki said.
The golden cub nodded. "Hurry monkey, hurry", the cub pleaded.
Ignoring the comment from the cub, Rafiki picked up his stick high in his hands and hit one of the hyenas several times very hard. The hyena yelped and ran away holding its paw to its head. The second hyena looked at Rafiki with fear. It ran off.
Rafiki went over to the cub. "It's alright, dear", he soothed.
The cub was crying without emotion. Only fear. "Thank y-you, for s-saving m-m-me".
Rafiki smiled. The cub had a golden pelt and blue eyes. Her cream colored muzzle leaned on a rock. Her eyes shook with tears dripping onto her cream inner eyes. Her cream colored belly lay on the ground. The cub was a young cub. Her nose was pointed and brown and matched her tail tip and inner ears. Her cheeks were rounded but still quite fluffy.
"Might I ask where you come from and what is your name, little girl?", the old mandrill asked.
"My name is Nyla and my mommy was beaten up by my uncle death and my daddy died", the cub said.
"Well Nyla, I wouldn't be more than happy for you to live with me in my tree", Rafiki smiled.
"You live in a tree? I thought you lived on a tree. I want to stay with you, Mr...", Nyla said.
"Rafiki. Yes, I live in a tree. Not on a tree. Hey, come on. I must go to Pride Rock".
"Rafiki, lions live in Pride Rock, they might kill you", Nyla said.
"We are friends, allies. I present their future ruler which I did to little Nia yesterday", the shaman said.
"Oh. Is Nia Nala and Simba's daughter?", Nyla asked.
"No, she isn't. Kiara is their daughter. Nia is Kiara and Kovu's daughter. Her twin sister is Nama".
"Oh. Are Nala and Simba okay? Is Sarabi okay?", Nyla asked.
"Nala is more than okay. Simba is okay and so is Sarabi".
"Okay! You're probably wondering why I know Nala, Simba and Sarabi, right?", the golden cub said.
"Yes. I am indeed. You look like Amira, a lioness I once knew", Rafiki hinted.
"I do! Because Amira is my Mommy!", Nyla said. "Amira is my Mommy. Thandi is my Grandmommy".
"Nyla! My my! Is your mother dead? Is Thandi and Amira dead?", the shaman asked.
"My mother is.. dead. Thandi is alive. My sister Ugoni.. I lost her when we came here.".
"Amira is dead? Where's Thandi? Is your sister Ugoni alive?", Rafiki asked.
"Yes, my Mommy is dead. I don't know where my grandmommy is. Ugoni is alive", the golden cub said.
"Any other siblings Nyla? Your Dad is Miro, right?", the shaman asked.
"Yes, my daddy is Miro. My sister Isa was killed when my daddy died. My sister Uru, I don't know where she is".
Rafiki told Nyla to come with him. He found Amira's daughter. And she had two more daughters.
After Rafiki warned the Pride, Kiara asked who the cub was. "Nyla, Amira's daughter", he replied.
Nala, Simba, Sarabi and Sarafina beamed at Nyla. The golden pelted cub told the Pride how her father, Miro, and little sister, Isa, were killed in a fire started by her Uncle Death. Three years after that happened, Amira, her mother, gave birth to triplet cubs called Uru, Hodari and Lyra. When they were toddlers, Death abused her mother. Nyla told them how scared she, the toddlers and her sister, Ugoni, were. Two months later, Death started another fire and it took the life of her cousin, Witta. Two weeks after the second fire, Hodari died from his burns. Amira could not go on and after several beatings two months later she died.
Three months had passed since the death of her mother and she and Ugoni were struggling to live. Uru and Lyra were lying still next to them. Death kept a close eye on them. Two lionesses in the Pride had been killed by Death already. Thandi was making sue everyone ate and drank water. But after fateful weeks later, three more lionesses had died. A short time later, Ugoni and Lyra made their way out of the cave to run away. Uru followed them and she went soon after Uru.
A week later, Lyra got seperated from them and Uru seperated from Ugoni and her shortly after that. Nyla and Ugoni ran and ran and when they got to the borders of the Pridelands, Ugoni was gone. And that the story of how she got here...
Sorry about the short chapter. I liked it though, did you? Please review!
