Disclaimer: I don't own lion king but I do own Nikisha, Zikia, Misti, and Sisha!
Chapter 3It was late morning in the Pridelands and it had now been about three weeks since Sisha had gone missing. Meanwhile, Kovu had just gotten up and heard a female voice say to him, "Kovu, would you come here for a second?"
Kovu stumbled a bit, he looked at Kiara who was still sleeping at the moment, then said, "I guess."
The lioness named, Zikia said, "You know, if Kiara doesn't eat or drink anything soon, she might die. You might want to consider thinking as a possibility of someone else being your mate and Queen to be, like me possibly, what do you say?"
Zikia was an evil lioness, though she did not want to join, she had no choice. So from there on, she acted like she wanted to join the Pridelanders after the war and was happy about being united. She had dark tan fur, red eyes, and an white-creamy underbelly.
Kovu then snarled a little and replied, "No, I would and will never have you as my mate and Queen, never.
Zikia replied evilly, "Oh but you will. Soon Kiara will die and I will become your mate."
Just as Kovu snarled at her, Zikia called Kiara over and said, "Hey, Kiara, could you come here for a moment?"
As Kiara nodded her head, she walked towards Zikia. As Kiara approached Zikia, Zikia grinned evilly at Kovu and just like that, Zikia put her paw to Kiara's face and slammed her head hard into the stone wall! After the first hit, Kiara's vision became blurry and then Zikia smashed Kiara's head into the stone wall a second time and then let go of her and Kiara's motionless body hit the ground and was out cold.
Kovu then yelled, "Kiara!"
Kovu ran to Kiara to see if she was alive, she was, but Kiara's head was Bleeding really bad with some small streaks of Blood running down Kiara's cheek! As a small puddle of Blood started to form on the stone floor beneath her head and cheek.
Kovu then turned to Zikia and she said, "Well, see ya later, soon to be my mate."
Kovu snarled then looked back down at Kiara, her eyes were closed and her head was bleeding, but not as badly as it was earlier. So Kovu nudged Kiara's jaw a few times to wake her up, but when she didn't, Kovu nudged her soft neck a few time and finally, Kiara moaned as Kovu asked, "Kiara, you okay?"
As soon as Kiara opened her eyes, she nodded a little and got up, though Kovu tried to make her stay down and wait for Rafiki, She denied it and said that she was fine. So Kovu sighed and then asked, Well Kiara, so do you want to head down to the watering hole with me to get a drink?"
Kiara then said quietly, "I guess so."
So Kiara got up slowly and made their way down to the watering hole. On the way down, Kovu looked worriedly at her as Kiara had her ears down the whole way there and said, "Oh Kiara, It's okay. We'll keep searching for Sisha and eventually she'll show up."
Kovu sighed as Kiara didn't say one thing except just kept walking with Kovu down to the watering whole.
Once they got there, Kovu started drinking but noticed Kiara just standing there looking at her reflection. She then let some water run down her head wound to clean it off. So after she kept letting the water run down her head and face, she tried drying it off with her foreleg. So, as Kiara's head wound stopped bleeding, she waited for Kovu to finish drinking, so they could go back.
After Kovu was finished, he said, "Kiara, you must drink something. At least a couple of sips."
After Kovu waited for her to reply, none came as he then said, "Kiara, I understand how you feel, okay, but you need to eat and/or drink something."
Kiara finally replied, "I can't. I'm not thirsty or hungry."
Kovu knew that deep down inside Kiara was thirsty and hungry, but she just kept denying it.
Kovu then said, "Kiara, you haven't eaten, and you have not drank anything for a week and a half now Kiara. Ever since Sisha went missing, you began loosing hope, and now you're starving yourself."
Kiara then snarled a little at that comment then yelled, "I did and still have hopes that Sisha will come back to us! And I don't care if I get sick or even die from starvation!
Kiara continued on and said, "The Great kings of the past took my Sisha away from me! If it weren't for that, I wouldn't be doing this now! But no, the great kings of the past had to do this to me, and now it's their fault that I might kill myself."
Kiara then dug her claws into the hard ground and racked her claws across a rock that was beside her! Kiara then realized that the last sentence that came out of her mouth was supposed to have stayed inside her not thrown out at Kovu to.
Kovu just stood there shocked at what she said, he had never heard her like this before. He needed help from Simba or Nala about this.
Kiara then ran back to Pride Rock as Kovu followed and yelled out, "Kiara, what are you doing? Wait up!"
Once they got there Kiara then ran and stopped at the tip of Pride Rock. Kiara then heard Nikisha say to Misti, "What are we going to do? Kiara is starving herself and if she doesn't eat or drink something soon, she might get sick and die."
Kiara then said to herself, "Well, that's not going to happen. I'm going to die this way."
Kiara then saw Kovu run up Pride Rock and stop before her. Nikisha and Misti heard him from the inside the cave, so they walked outside and stopped beside him and immediately saw fear in his eyes and then looked at Kiara and then realized what Kiara was about to do.
Nikisha then said with fear in her eyes, "Kiara, don't do this. We will find Sisha, I promise that."
Just then, Simba and Nala come up Pride Rock and turned their attention to Kovu, Misti and Nikisha.
Nala then asked, "What's up with this crowd? Why are you just standing there?"
Misti then said, "It's Kiara, she's threatening us by going to kill herself."
After Simba and Nala heard that, they looked in front of them and saw Kiara at the very tip of Pride Rock.
Nala then became terrified as she saw her daughter about to kill herself and said, "Kiara, please don't do this to us, nothing would be the same without you."
Kiara replied, "Yeah, well you can thank the great kings of the past for taking Sisha away from me."
Everyone gasped when Kiara said that as Simba took some steps forward, but Kiara shouted, "Don't you come any closer daddy, because if you do, I will do it, I swear I will kill myself."
Nala then touched Simba, telling him to stop moving forward, then said with tears coming down her face, "Kiara please, don't do this, okay, we will find Sisha and bring her back to you and Kovu."
Kiara then laughed and said through tears, "See, that's what everyone says, but the outcome of it is always the same. It never happens. It's the great kings that did this to me, they took my Sisha away from me. They want me to feel this way. Sad, angry, frustrated, furious."
Simba then said, getting a little angry at what she's saying about the great kings, "No they don't Kiara. They didn't do…"
Kiara snarled angrily and said, "Don't you dare use that kind of voice with me."
Kovu then said quietly through tears, "No, no don't do this."
Kovu then ran forward as Kiara tried to kill herself, but wasn't able to because Kovu grabbed her arm just in time.
Everyone then ran up behind Kovu, looking terrified as they saw him hanging on to Kiara's arm.
Kiara then said angrily, "Kovu, let go."
Kovu then replied, "No, I won't do that. Kiara, did you even consider thinking what I would feel like if I lost you and Sisha?"
When Kiara didn't say anything, he continued, "Kiara, you wouldn't know what I, your mom and dad, and everyone else would feel like if you killed yourself. Kiara, I know your upset and sad, and I feel as much pain as you do, but I wouldn't know what I would do without you, I love you too much to let you do this."
Kiara's eyes softened as Kovu said through tears, "Kiara please, I'm loosing my grip, I won't be able to hang on to you forever, please don't do this. If you loved me like the way I love you, you wouldn't be doing this."
Kiara looked into Kovu's bright green eyes, telling her to not do this.
Kiara then closed her eyes for a few seconds then opened them back up and then grabbed his paw with her other paw and allowed Kovu to pull her up.
Once Kovu got Kiara up, she looked at him with her brown eyes and nuzzled Kovu deeply as Kovu did the same.
Kiara then said, "I'm sorry Kovu. I don't know what came over me."
Kovu then smiled and said, "It's okay Kiara."
Kovu hugged her deeply and said, "I love you so much Kiara. You don't know how much you mean to me."
Kiara then asked, "You do? Even after what all I said to you?"
Kovu smiled and replied, "Of course I do. I still and will always love you, no matter what happens."
Kiara smiled and said as tears were streaming down her face, "I love you to Kovu."
Kovu then said, "Promise me Kiara, you will never do this again, okay?"
Kiara put on a warm smiled and said, "I promise."
As Kovu smiled, he wiped the tears away off her face, glad she's back to normal. Kovu just loved the way Kiara smiled at him, it made him feel better when he was having hard times, and will never forget it. He also liked the way Kiara smelled, and especially her beautiful brown eyes. He basically loved everything about her.
Kovu then licked Kiara's cheek as she did the same and Kiara said, "I'm going back inside, do you want to come?"
Kovu smiled and replied, "Of course I do."
Kiara giggled a little as Kovu followed her into the cave. Just then, Simba and Nala walked up Kiara and nuzzled her deeply and said, "Remember Kiara, we will always love you, no matter what, okay."
As Kiara laid down beside Kovu, she replied, "Okay, I love you to."
As Simba and Nala nodded, they went back outside to leave them alone.
Just then, Nikisha, Misti and Vitani came in as Vitani then said, "Sorry, I hope we are not interrupting you with anything."
Kiara smiled at Kovu and replied, "It's alright Vitani, you're not interrupting us."
Vitani then said, "We just wanted to say that, we are glad to have you here as our new Queen, and if you need any help or just want to talk to us, we'll be here for you, okay."
Kiara replied, "Okay, thanks Vitani."
Vitani nodded as they then left Kiara and Kovu alone once again.
Kiara then said, "When I get up, we can go to the watering hole and get something to drink, okay. Possibly even some hunting, okay."
Kovu smiled and replied, "Okay."
Kiara smiled warmly at him which made him tingle inside and said, "Well, I'm going to take a nap, okay."
Kovu replied, "Okay."
As Kiara yawned, revealing her sharp canine teeth, closed her eyes and rested her head down on her paws and went to sleep.
Kovu smiled warmly at her then decided to take a short nap along with her.
Well, what did you think? Sorry it took me awhile to update, but hears the next chapter and hoped you enjoyed it! Anyway, what a relief, it's a good thing Kiara didn't kill herself and poor Kovu, he was worried to death, but everything's back to normal!
Anyway, Chapter 4 will probably be updated by the end of this weekend, okay!
But for now, Please R&R!
