Author's Note: Okay sorry if it was confusing, Adhra is my original character, she was looking at her old pride, before it was burnt down by a fire.

Also thank you guys for reading, and please review! :)

"I understand that this is a moment of grief for you Kiara, but honey, you have to eat." Nala's voice was soothing to Kiara's ears, but she still refused to look at the zebra leg her mother brought her.

"No mother. You don't understand," Kiara sobbed, "two cubs died because of me..."

Nala pushed the meat aside and laid next to her daughter, her eyes filled with sympathy. "You're not to blame Kiara...It's not your fault."

Kiara turned away from her mother, refusing to make eye contact.

It has been Kiara's second try to give birth, and no success. The pridelanders have been mourning deeply, but Kiara suffered from the biggest heartache. The thought of losing two unborn cubs made her spine chill.

"Kiara..." Nala's voice broke as hot tears rolled down her cheek, "It's going to be okay. I know it seems grim now, but understand this is all part of the-"

"Great circle of life! I know!" Kiara cried in anger as tears foamed in her eyes. "I just wish for one cub, one cub; is that so hard to ask for? Why must I suffer?"

Nala nuzzled her daughter, trying to calm her down, "Kiara. You're not the only lioness who has these problems..."

Kiara exhaled sharply. "I'm tired mother, let me be."

Sighing, Nala stood up. She wished she could offer more comforting wisdom, but for now her mind went blank. Her daughter was in pain, and hasn't eaten all day.

"Eat." She commanded softly, pushing the dead zebra leg to Kiara.

"Fine." She muttered, slowly biting down on the juicy meat.

Finishing her lat bite and eager for a good night sleep, Kiara slowly walked back to Pride Rock, why must I suffer?

Adhra slowed down, her body ache and her head was spinning. Water. I need water. Frantically looking around for any signs of water, she unknowingly stumbled into the Pridelands' watering hole.

A smile spread on her muzzle as she spied the watering hole, perfect.

Adhra slowly left her hiding spot in the tall grass, making her way to the watering hole.

Afraid somebody might see her, she examined her surroundings, nothing, so far so good.

The water was refreshing, flowing into her dry throat, she quickly gulped up as much water she could.

Finishing her water break, Adhra stared at the night sky, "better get going now."

"Not without an explanation." A deep voice boomed.

Adhra's heart spotted, she didn't dare turn around. Silently cussing to herself, she turned face to face with a sturdy, golden-brown lion with a bushy red mane.

"Who are you?" Simba asked.

Adhra knew better then to show her fear, she managed to make her voice sound more powerful and calm then she really felt. "I'm Adhra, I mean no harm. I was exhausted from my long journey and needed a drink." She nodded in the direction of the watering hole.

Staring at the lion's deep orange eyes, she felt weak, show no fear. Show no fear.

To her surprise, Simba smiled warmly, "I see no threat to my lands, so drink, but then leave."

His voice was calm but Adhra didn't let down her guard, she fell for to many traps in her life already, she muttered a thank you and sprinted away.
