Zira hung over the cliff, the water and logs rushing below her. Awaiting for the evil lioness to fall into them and take her to the afterlife.

"Zira!" Kiara cried "Give me your paw!"

Th princess extened her paw to the the evil feline

Zira looked back at th water, then back at Kiara

So many thoghts racing through her mind at a million miles an hour.

"Why is she trying to save me?" Zira thought "So she can have her pride and my outlander trators end me instead? No, she's not like that. But what of Simba? He'd probably enjoy that. Another simple banishment won't suvice for all I've done now.

Yet then Ziras mind raced to a memory. One that haunted nearly every night she slept


-Flashback-

The rain fell upon PrideRock, putting out the fire that now engulfed it. Which created a lot of steam for the hyenas to escape back to the Outlands.

Zira had hid her cubs in a safe place away from the violence, and ran back to help her husband. Yet when she got there.

"No," she said seeing her love. The rain hid her tears as she moarned over Scars dead body. Torn up and bitten into by the hyenas.

Yet of coure Zira would never know it was them, she thought this all the work of Simba

-End Flashback-


"No!" Zira thought "I won't let it end like this! I won't let him live for that! Simba must be punished! Even if I have to do it myself!"

Zira grabbed onto Kiaras paw who in turn pulled Zira up to safety

"Kiara! Simba said looking down at his daughter and Zira. He helped Kiara up.

Zira began to cry. It was the second time Kovu and Vitani had ever seen their mother do that. The first was when she told them about Scars death for the first time.

"I'm so sorry," Zira bawled "It's just, Scar, my husband. Sueley you know that love don't you Simba? Look at your family."

Tears flowed from the lions eyes

"Don't you know how it feels to lose someone you hold so close to your heart?"

"Yes," Simba said "Yes I do,"

"Huh?" Zira said suprised

"Zira," Simba said "It's time you know the truth about your beloved. Perhaps it will help you to let go of your hate,"

With that Simba began to tell Zira the story of how Scar killed Mufasa, along with what happened after he fought his uncle for the Pridelands.


How will Zira react to the truth?
