To my dear readers, here's chapter 4, I don't own anything.
A sigh escaped the throat of the mighty lion looking up at the night time sky. His father was up there in the stars looking down at him, how he missed him, he had been so young
when he had died "Father, I wish that you where here. I feel uneasy, like there is a terrible fate that awaits me, what should I do?" "Simba are you alright?" the voice of his mate
made him turn his head. "Nala"; he said relief in his voice, it was always comforting to have her near him, it made him feel at ease. "I-I was just trying to see my father" Nala stared at
Simba the look in his eyes were filled with lounging, lounging for Mufasa. "You miss him don't you, my love" Simba nodded "I feel so small father was a great king, while I ran away
from my duty lived a life of shame and now I fear that I'll never be like him". Nala rubbed against Simba trying to sooth him "Oh Simba, you're a great king don't ever doubt that". In
the few weeks that the Pride Lands claimed its rightful king, new life had already started to grow. The vegetation had been slowly coming back, the herd's hat yet to return but it was
a good start. Still the lion felt guilty for his actions, for years he had been running away from his past but now it felt so new to approach it head on. Simba turned to Nala, "Will I ever
be worthy to one day be seen as a mighty ruler?" Nala smiled "Now why would you even say that. Of course you will be" Simba looked to the sky then back at Nala, "You're right."
She nuzzled him, "Of course I am."
"Jasi come here!" the pale brown lioness cowardly made her way to Zira who in return gave her a slap across her face "You idiot! You where suppose to gather information on Halafi's
orders but instead you come back, with no reason!" "Ma'am I am sorry, but there was no way I could get close without being discovered" Zira growled of annoyance and raised her
paw to slap the poor lioness again "Zira that is but enough" A lion with a light brown mane and dark orange fur appeared a sly grin on his face, "Halafi don't tell me when to stop, she
must be punished for her actions" "She's already had her taste of guiltiness, let her be" On the words spoken Jasi soon ran away from the sight of Zira" She looked at him "And there
must be a good reason you don't discipline her" Halafi grin grew bigger "She knows to be good, Jasi is a good lioness" there was a pause "But that's not the reason that I come back"
Zira raised an eyebrow "Oh and why is that?" "I have a plan to defeat Simba" Zira then grinned "I'm all ears" "In order to rid of Simba we must first get rid of the ones closest to him".
Zira nodded "And I now just the one to rid of first" "It will be Nala!" Halafi grinned even more "hmm yes, Nala is by far the closest to him" he chuckled "Once we kill her it will be easier
to get to Simba, but it's a shame that she should go to waste" A smirk then crossed his face "I do love a young lioness, who has wonderful features" Zira rolled her eyes, "You can
think about that later". "Once Nala is gone the rest will soon follow, and then Simba will fall". The two sat there in silence before Zira spoke; "And then your son will become the king".
Halafi shook his head making Zira growl "That was the deal, remember" "I know" he spat "I won't break that promise, but on one condition you look after Jasi and raise her as your
own" "I won't have a weakling be a member of my pride!" Zira nearly shouted Halafi's eyes narrowed "Unless you want your precious cubs to die, then I suggest you look after her!"
Zira body tensed before it slowly relaxed "Fine" she mumbled "I'll look after her but not as my own" "Fair enough" "I'll send a spy out to find a weakness at dawn" Zira's claws
unleashed "Just you wait Simba everyone you love will be dead before your eyes".
Chapter 4 is done, sorry it took so long, school work and all. Chapter 5 is coming.
