Welcome to the chapter! Hope you enjoy it! Let me know what you think about it in the reviews! Well, on to the story! Whoops, forgot to do this on my last chapters. DISCLAIMER: I OWN NOTHING BUT BLADE
Blade awoke sweating buckets, meaning he probably had a nightmare. He reached over to his watch. 4:30 AM. Knowing he would be unable to return to his slumber, Blade decided to get up and change his clothes. All he had was his Marine uniform, and a black t-shirt, black track pants, and a leather black jacket brimmed with gold. Blade was currently in his uniform, so he quickly changed into his leather outfit, which was his personal favorite. Suddenly feeling very bored, Blade decided to take a walk to the stream. When he got there, the reflection in front of him was not the one he remembered. His hair, which had been nearly gone, had grown back and was now a heavy, black stubble. Blade also saw signs of a goatee, probably because he hadn't shaven for a while. He turned around to head back to Pride Rock, but was approached by three hyenas. "Well, well, well, looks like we have ourselves a nice meal," the one who appeared to be the leader said menacingly. One of the other two began to laugh hysterically, while the other one said, "Yeah, you tell em Shenzi!" Blade said nothing, and pulled out his hunting knife, which he had taken just in case something like this happened. The hyenas ran away, back to a strange graveyard. Blade laughed, and said, "What? Y'all don't want to meet my friend? How insulting!" Blade continued his return with a big smile on his face. When he got back, Mufasa was ready to begin the presentation. "Attention…..Late yesterday, a human wandered into the Pridelands looking for food. After speaking to him, I have come to the decision that he would be very useful. Ergo, he shall be joining our pride. You make come and speak to him if you wish." Blade smiled and waved, to signify who he was, not that it wasn't obvious already. It wasn't long before he was being introduced to the pride. Out of all he met, Blade decided he liked Mufasa, his mate Sarabi, who was pregnant, Sarafina, her mate Ni, and a half-rouge named Kissasi the best. Zira and Scar were the only ones who left a bad impression on Blade. Sarabi, Ni, and Sarafina he liked due to their good hearts. Blade liked Mufasa purely out of respect. Kissasi, Blade liked because he reminded him of himself. Kissasi had anger and hatred in him, but had a good heart and tried to do the right thing. Blade saw himself in the same manner. Blade was about to rest after his long day, when some surprising news came to him: Both Sarabi and Sarafina were in labor, and were together being cared by an old mandrill, a certain mandrill Blade remembered. Having been trained in medicine by the Marines, Blade wandered in to see if he could be on any assistance.
That's it for now! Let me know what you thought in the reviews! I'll try to have the next chapter up tomorrow. And yes, Kissasi is an OC, hope y'all don't mind. His name means "revenge" or "vengeance" in Swahili. Thanks for reading!
