Okay, I really don't know how much people are liking what I write, sooooo yeah. I'm sorry my posting of the chapters is so irregular. School=Homework=Stress. I am an awful writer, I tend to repeat myself a lot. Anyways, here's chapter 4! Chapter 3 was getting too long so I kinda cut it at a weird place. But this is where it will be different from the movie a bit. Also, I don't really like to write exactly what the characters are thinking, I don't know if you understand what I'm saying but yeahhhhh…


Chapter 4


Zira looked up to see Simba on the ledge of the gorge. Rage started to boil inside her.

"Well, what are you waiting for? GET HIM!" Zira shouted at the lionesses behind her. They were hesitant to climb the logs after just what just happened to Nuka. But they knew that Zira's fury would be a worst fate. A few lionesses started to climb the logs slowly.

Simba, on the other hand, was exhausted. He was certain that his right paw was broken. The leg that Nuka had clawed was oozing blood and throbbing still. He had severe cuts and bruises all over him. His left side hurt the most thought. There was a sharp pain shooting through his side every time he moved, it even hurt to breath. He was getting light headed and dizzy from blood loss and the edges of his vision was dark and blurred. His limbs were heavy and all he wanted to do was collapse, but he had to keep moving. Zira wouldn't let him get away, she would send someone after him to finish him off. He also had to go and warn the others of Kovu. Kiara would be devastated. Simba had to go warn her to protect her. He started to move towards pride rock.

Simba was moving very slowly and hadn't made much progress. Each set sent new waves of agony coursing through his body. He could just see pride rock on the horizon. Simba didn't know if he was going to be able to make it. He wanted to just give up, but he couldn't. He looked around to see if there was anyone who could help him, no one was around. The sun was directly above, meaning that all the herds would be at the water hole (A/N: Basically, lunch). Simba struggled forward, trying to ignore the pain, when he spotted something circling overhead. At first he thought it was a vulture, coming to finish him off when he finally collapsed, but as he watched he could see that the bird was much too small to be a vulture. This bird was small and blue. It was Zazu! Simba let out a sigh of relief and called up to Zazu the best that he could in his weakened condition.

"Zazu!" Simba cried weakly, hoping that it was enough for the hornbill to hear.

"Zazu!" he managed to call again, slightly louder.

Zazu had been circling the pride lands, finishing up his morning report, when he heard something as he patrolled near the boarders. At first he thought it was just the sound of the wind whipping past him but then he heard it again. He looked down and was what looked to be a lion. He began to circle. At first he thought it was an outsider and was about to turn around and go to find the King but then he realized that he hadn't seen the king all morning. As he flew closer he could make out a bright red main. The lion was Simba! He quickly flew down to the king.

"Ah! Good morning your majesty! I was just finishing up the morning report and-" Zazu caught sight of Simba's wounds.

"Sire! Are you alright?" Zazu said, landing in front of the King. He was close enough now that he could clearly see that Simba was not alright. He was bleeding profusely and he was limping. Simba's breathing was growing ragged.

"I-I was attacked" Simba coughed, sharp pain spreading across his left side. He was about to pass out.

"Sire! We must go get help! We must-" suddenly Zazu stopped. He was watching something over Simba's.

"Your majesty! There are outsiders in the gorge! They are heading this way!" Zazu was right. Zira has orders her lionesses over the log wall, two had made it. (A/N: Just to be clear, the others didn't die, just these two were the first to make it up. Zira didn't send them all up.) They were looking around the edge of the gorge, sniffing the ground, searching for something. Suddenly their heads snapped in Simba and Zazu's direction. They had caught on to Simba's sent! Witch must have been easy with him bleeding. They started to make their way over.

"Sire! I suggest you run! I'll go fetch help!" Zazu flew off just as the lionesses broke into a sprit towards Simba. Simba has managed to get far enough away that it would still take them a few minutes to reach him, but that wasn't much time. He started to run towards pride rock. He was limping badly and couldn't go that fast, but he managed to stay ahead. He was in agony. The world was spinning and he was struggling.

A few minutes later (Like 5-10)

The lionesses were catching up to Simba and he was starting to slow down. Zazu still hadn't returned with help yet. Simba could hear the pounding of the lionesses feet close behind him. They were nearing pride rock. Simba couldn't hold out much longer.

Umm... what Zazu was doing during that...

Zazu flew back to pride rock as fast as his wings could carry him. He landed at the entrance to the den, were Kiara and Nala had just returned from their hint and Timone and Pumbaa were lounging about.

"Simba's been attacked! He needs help! Follow me!" Zazu said while breathing heavily. Nala looked at him in alarm for the concern of her mate. Kiara looked confused.

"Hold on Zazu! He went on a walk with kovu, where is he?" Kiara said.

"I am unsure, your highness, but we must hurry! Your father is still in danger." Zazu said.

"Bring us too him." Nala said, becoming increasingly worried. She wouldn't be able to stand if something happened to Simba. They had been through so much together. Losing him was unthinkable. She had to get to him. Zazu lead them to where Simba was. Simba was still being chased by the two lionesses. They were right in his tail. Simba was visibly injured and limping quite badly. Simba stumbled almost falling to the ground but kept going, the lionesses were right behind him. Nala raced down to help her mate. Simba stumbled again and this time he couldn't stop himself from falling. He fell forward, but he still had all his momentum from running. He rolled forward several feet then came to a stop. He wasn't moving. The two lioness were about to pounce on him to finish him off, when they heard a loud roar. Nala leaped between the lionesses and her mate. The two lionesses skidded to a stop. Nala let out a deep growl. Kiara came up behind her. Nala wanted so badly to attack the lionesses but she knew she couldn't, not while Simba needed her. Nala growled again but this time louder. Kiara growled too behind her. The two outlanders growled back then turned and ran back towards the gorge. They knew that there was no chance in them fighting. They went back to report to Zira. Once the outlanders were gone, Nala turned her attention to Simba

"Simba!"She cried. She rushed over to his side with Kiara close behind her. Simba was breathing heavily and struggling to get up.

"Daddy! What happened?!"Kiara asked, worried. Nala nuzzled her mate, trying to support him to stand up. Simba managed to prop himself up with his uninjured paw. He wounds were still bleeding a lot. He was getting more and more dizzy, his eyelids were drooping as he struggled to get up and stay awake.

"Kovu…am-ambush" He managed to get out. He tried to stand up and put pressure on his injured paw. An intense wave of pain washed over him. He was too weak. He collapsed back to the ground unconscious.


Yay! That's the end of chapter 4! Don't worry! More to come! I feel like I kept saying Pain, struggling and Dizzy a lot. I know my main focus seems to be on Simba….idk. I just loveee the lion king! I must say I really like the part with Zazu in it. And I just want to give youa heads up,, I don't really like timone and pumbaa so they may not be in here that much because thy annoy me. sorry if that offends anyone, ps simba wont die
