Chap. 3

Mufassa heard the yell of his younger cub. He ran towards the sound of her voice and saw that she was surrounded by hyenas. He roared, and they took off. Mufassa smiled at Amei, but she just looked down at her paws. They went to the cave to take a nap. When Amei woke up, she tried to sneak out to avoid her brother or her father waking up or following her.

'Speak of the devil' thought Amei as she ducked her brother's pitiful attempt at pouncing. She could hear him a mile away!

"Simba, stop following me. I don't need a babysitter" Amei cried. Both cubs noticed that they had awakened their father, who was listening on their conversation.

"Really, then why did you need help getting away from the hyenas" Simba snapped back.

"I recall that you and Nala needed Dad to save your sorry butts as well" Amei said and then took off. Simba followed her out of the cave to try to get her to come back. After he had wakened up, Mufassa went to Scar, to try to see if he would help Amei learn how to respect her brother. To his surprise, Scar would not help.


Later that day Amei saw a baby bunny while playing. Practicing her pouncing, she was able to catch it mid-jump. However, her ankle cracked when she landed so she limped home. The lionesses complemented her on her catch, but Amei still felt compared to her brother in some way, even though Simba had never caught anything, not even a cold. In the middle of the night, Amei ran away from Pride Rock, ignoring the pain in her ankle. When she stopped, Amei noticed that Pride Rock was just a speck on the horizon. She also noticed that she was hungry, not having anything to eat for dinner. When she looked around, she noticed that all the food was asleep, so she slept under a big tree.


When Simba woke up, he noticed that his sister was not in the cave. After searching the cave for her, Simba tried to wake up his father. Once successful in his task, Simba said, "Dad, Amei is gone. I searched the cave for her. I think she ran away"

A/N: I hate midterms. They keep me from writing fanfics and from updating for all my lovely readers. Next chap will include that odd plot of Scar to make Amei his queen. Read and Review. I own nothing except Amei.
