I'm VERY VERY VERY sorry guys that I haven't been updating this story, I've been so busy in my life and I'm trying my best to make this fanfic continue.
Here is chapter 4, enjoy!
Truffle called Jade and Terk to her den. She was really meaning to talk to them about their new members.
Terk gave his leader a smile while Jade looked bored and stern as usual. Trina started to peek in on the conversation. She wanted to hear all of what her mother had to say.
"Terk, Jade. I called you both here because our new members will be living with us now. I know there are 35 of us and three of them makes 38 of us in total. We need to keep an eye on them." Truffle finally showed she was serious for once.
"I don't think they mean any harm Truffle, besides you were showing them around, right?" Terk was bouncing around her in the den. She snapped at him to sit down. He sat down next to Trina and Jade.
"Well for now, we should look nice and be nice but also stay alert, you never if they will turn their backs on this group." Truffle explained it more clearly. Terk understood her as well as Jade and Trina who quietly left the den, wanting to play.
Jade finally shrugged at his leader and left the den, he was getting tired of doing things for her, but he did them to keep his rank. Being deputy of Kenya was not easy, but it was helpful for him. He walked over to Shenzi, Banzai and Ed's den, it was empty.
"They must be hunting for Truffle. They better eat something too before they end up dying." Jade snorted and walked into his den to nap. Trina was in his den, hiding. She started to pounce on him, but she landed beside him. Jade didn't open an eye, he was asleep.
"Jade? Are you awake because if you are, tell Truffle that I'm going to play in the forest and go deeper so that I can learn how to hunt, okay?" Trina spoke to the sleeping hyena. He didn't respond so she left the den and went into the deep forest.
She caught a few sights of the gray hyenas. Shenzi was talking to Banzai while Ed was sniffing the air to find prey. Trina watched them for a few moments and then she finally started sneaking around them. She was going to go deep into the forest of Kenya and hunt on her own. She's been waiting to do this all year and she finally got her chance.
"Mother will be so happy that I hunted some prey for her!" Trina was excited, she took a few steps closer as another hyena approached her and grabbed her. It was a red hyena, he grinned and glared into her eyes while holding her up with one paw.
"Well, well, well... If it isn't the little girl again." The red hyena laughed.
"Um... Hi Usila..." Trina greeted the bully and tried to struggle herself out of his grasp but he was stronger than she was and he tossed her into a tree. Trina hit her head hard on the bark of the tree and fell into the grass. She was bleeding badly as she tried to get up.
"HELP ME!" Trina called. He yelp was heard by Banzai. He perked his ears up and knew it was Truffle's daughter. He beckoned Shenzi and Ed to follow him and save Trina from the red hyena.
"What's going on?" Shenzi was behind him, trying to keep up.
"I heard Trina screaming! We have to help her!" Banzai finally saw them. The red hyena was gone but Trina was lying on the ground. Hurt and bleeding.
"Trina, what were you doing?" Banzai picked her up in his jaws. She yelped in pain. The red hyena was strong. She wasn't old enough to fight him yet, but she knew that.
"I was trying to... Hunt on my... own... It was for my... Mother!" Trina coughed.
"We need to keep her here and heal her. Shenzi, go and find some herbs!" Banzai ordered. Shenzi nodded and ran off to get the herbs.
"Ed, keep watch, we don't need anymore animals coming to attack Trina and the rest if the pack." Banzai looked at Ed. Ed laughed and kept watch.
Shenzi was running as fast as her legs could carry her, she finally stopped and saw a few grass herbs and leaves. She picked them up and started to run back to Trina and the others.
"Banzai! Banzai! I got the leaves!" Shenzi placed the leaves next to him. Banzai thanked her and chewed on the leaves. It didn't taste good but he needed to make a paste so that he could rub it on her wound. It stung, but she took the pain and calmed down. Once the blood was gone, he grabbed her in his jaws again and took her back home.
Truffle saw her daughter and ran up to her.
"What happened to Trina!?" Truffle was furious.
"I heard her scream and we found her in the grass in the deep forest. She wondered off while we were hunting." Banzai explained the full story. He knew how she got there and he was able to tell her about it.
"Trina, you know better. How many times do I have to tell you. Do not leave the meadow area without me or an adult with you at all times! Those red hyenas would have killed you!" Truffle grabbed her daughter and took her into the den.
"Sorry mom, I wanted to hunt on my own and show you that I can bring you prey too..." Trina cried. Tears ran down her face as Truffle placed her down for a nap.
"Trina, you know that those red hyenas are out there. Next time, tell Jade or me." Truffle hugged her daughter close to her chest and Trina started to protest.
"I did tell Jade, but his eyes were closed!" Trina explained.
"Jade is sleeping. He's been up since 2 days ago. He needs a rest." Truffle replied.
"Oh. What is sleep again?" Trina asked.
"It's when you rest your body. Your body needs sleep otherwise you won't have enough energy for the daily things that you do." Truffle explained to her daughter. Trina yawned, she was tired from trying to explore and hunt on her own.
Truffle sighed and left Trina sleeping in the den. She walked over to Shenzi, Banzai and Ed's den. They looked up and noticed her. Truffle looked stern, but then she sighed and smiled at them all.
"Thank you all for telling me about Trina. And thanks for saving her." Truffle grinned. Shenzi smirked and Banzai smiled.
"You're welcome. We had to help her. She's your daughter and we know how it feels when you lose someone close to you." Shenzi replied. Banzai nodded in agreement. Truffle almost cried, but she held it in and nodded, then she turned and left their den.
With another day passed, Shenzi was sleeping much better at night. No nightmares or dreams came to her mind. This meant that she was on her own now and that she needed a plan just in case Scar came into Kenya and planned to kill them anyway.
Two years later...
Trina was bigger, she was almost taller than her mother and she was ready to hunt on her own and find food for her mother and the other hyenas. Terk and a hyena named Grand were also going on a hunt. They followed Trina around and became a full hunting patrol.
"So what are we hunting for this morning Trina?" Terk was excited as usual.
"Anything we can find." Trina replied. She was more fierce than the red hyenas.
Shenzi watched Trina and her patrol leave, they were on training duty. They were going to learn how to fight better and become stronger so they could take down the red hyenas if there ever was a war between them.
"Ok Shenzi, I will be training you first." A white male hyena beckoned her to follow, his paws were black and his fur was longer than everyone else's in the pack.
"Who are you?" Shenzi asked while following him to the training area. Banzai and Ed were there too, they were going to watch her train against the huge male hyena.
"I'm Shredder." The male hyena introduced himself as he gave Shenzi some space. She stood her ground as Shredder started talking to her.
"Ok, what you are going to do is attack me with all you got! No holding back Shenzi!" Shredder stood there, waiting for her to attack. Shenzi growled and charged at him, she slashed his side pretty hard, but somewhat safely.
"I got ya!" Shenzi grinned as she turned to see Shredder grunting. She was already as tough as Banzai and Ed were.
"You are really tough. That hurt..." Shredder grunted, but when he recovered he took Banzai into training next.
Banzai stood his ground and did the same thing as Shenzi, but his moves were different, he slashed Shredders chest, but not very hard.
Shredder slashed Banzai, Banzai leaped out of the way in time before he was hit and he slashed Shredder again. Banzai always made perfect hits against hyenas. Ed laughed as he saw Banzai slip in a puddle of mud as he was trying to attack Shredder again. Shenzi laughed at Banzai, who was covered in mud.
"Well you are strong too, but we need to work on your speed." Shredder dismissed Banzai as well and Ed was up last. Ed laughed and ran around Shredder, the huge hyena slashed at Ed but he missed as Ed disappeared. He looked around and he didn't see the crazy hyena anywhere.
From out of nowhere, Ed pounced on him and slashed his belly. Shredder kicked Ed off of him and stood his ground again.
"How did you do that?" Shredder was confused as Ed only looked at him.
"He doesn't talk." Banzai explained to their trainer.
"Oh, he just giggles and laughs?" Shredder thought Ed was weird, but not in a bad way. He then shrugged and turned to all three of them.
"That's enough training for the day. We will continue the next day." Shredder left them in peace.
More months passed and Shenzi was having a new pup on they way...
"Banzai, I'm going to have a pup." Shenzi looked at her mate. Banzai was happy for her. He nuzzled her and laid next to her. Ed was lying in the other side of the den. He was too silly to know what Shenzi was talking about.
"Oh Shenzi, I hope it's a male." Banzai grinned.
"And what if it's not?" Shenzi raised one eye brow before smiling.
"Well, then we will name her, Why Did You Come Out To Be A Girl!" Banzai laughed out loud and Shenzi laughed too.
"No, we are not naming her that!" Shenzi laughed when he said the full name. Banzai calmed down and walked out of the den to get her something to eat. He noticed Trina and Truffle talking. They were talking about the new hunting areas.
"Trina, you can hunt in the deep forest of Kenya, but no further than that. I don't wanna lose you." Truffle explained to her daughter.
"Mother, I'm not a pup anymore! I can go wherever I want!" Trina hissed at her mother. Jade watched them argue. Terk was surprised to see Trina upset at her mother for not letting her go as far than the deep forest.
"Trina, there are borders and rules. The red hyenas stay near the deep forest, you can travel in the forest, but you cannot go pass it!" Truffle was trying to be clear in what she was trying to warn Trina about. But the stubborn hyena didn't listen and she ran off. Jade chased after her as Terk called to him.
"Slash her legs off!" Terk chuckled but that earned him an unpleasant look from Truffle.
"What? I was only kidding, I'm wasn't going to even do that!" Terk backed away from the leader before he was given a slash in his eye.
Shenzi saw Terk back off, she giggled and waited for her mate. Soon, Banzai came back with the kill and placed it at Shenzi's paws and she tore at it. Eating every bite of the prey she was given. Blood was all over her muzzle. Banzai walked over to the back of the den with Ed and started a small conversation with him.
"So Ed, are you going to be a medicine hyena for this pack? I heard that Truffle is opening up on that since you are not really a fighter." Banzai wondered. He told Truffle that Ed was the right hyena for healing, though he was silly, he was smart enough to heal others.
Ed nodded quickly and fell asleep. Banzai sighed, it was getting late fast as he settled down next to Shenzi and the unborn pup. He was glad that she was having a new pup. It would soon be a pack of white hyenas and gray hyenas together as one.
In the deep forest...
Trina was on her own, her mother really hated to see her die because she didn't listen. All of the white hyenas knew about border except for her, she was too stubborn to listen and reason with them.
And for some reason, she also hated Jade. He always made fun of her pouncing skills when their patrol was up for hunting each day. Jade was always the one that brought the kill home in his jaws. Trina was always scaring off prey because she was either too loud or she wasn't quiet enough.
Jade finally caught up with her, but Trina was too angry to reason with him. She growled and started to attack him.
"Hey! What did I do to you!?" Jade jumped out of the way as Trina slashed his side. Jade yelped and backed off.
"Why did you follow me? Why don't you hunt on your own and leave me alone!" Trina growled, the angry female hyena didn't want to be bothered with an expert hunter like Jade.
"Listen, I didn't mean to hurt you in anyway, I wanted to apologize. I don't know why you hate me so much. You used to be nice and caring and now your being a jerk! Your not the Trina I remember!" Jade looked into her eyes. He saw the old Trina through her eyes and tried to convence her to stop attacking.
"Trina, you are a wonderful hyena, you are very strong and will help us get through this tough winter..." Jade looked at the little hyena.
"You think a young hyena like me can save us from this harsh winter?" Trina was getting excited.
"Yep! Maybe you could go around the camp and tell the other hyenas a story and help us get some herbs for the sick ones." Jade patted her head.
"Ok!" Trina was running off to get the stuff. She soon came back with the supplies needed to help the sick hyenas get better. Truffle, her mother, watched as Jade was teaching Trina how to heal them.
Trina smiled as she watched, she enjoyed helping the pack and following orders.
Trina finally snapped out of her stubborn ways and began to speak.
"Jade I-" She was cut off by a shallow voice.
"Trina..." Jade choked out, he was on the ground with a huge gash in his throat and he was bleeding very bad as Trina gasped and lifted her left bloody paw, she found herself on top of him.
"Oh no! What have I done? What did I just do?" Trina gasped and saw Jade's eyes. Tears were flowing down his face as his eyes widened in pain, his mouth was open a little bit. Jade kept his eyes open as his vision burred out into darkness. Trina started to cry as she bent down and hugged his head. Jade's eyes became blinded by death, the tears were still in his eyes, but didn't come out anymore. He was dead.
"I promise I'll do better! I promise Jade! I'm so sorry!" Trina cried, she sobbed her eyes out. Then she quickly got up and ran back to the rest of the pack as the remaining tear in Jade's left eye ran down his cheek. Suddenly, Terk was exploring the deep forest and saw Jade lying there, lifeless.
"JADE!" Terk quickly ran up to him.
"Who did this to you!? What happened Jade! Jade wake up! Please get up for me! Jade please! Don't do this to us! Jade you are one of our strongest hyenas! Wake up! Please! Jade come on!" Terk was crying, he was trying to wake Jade up from his death, but it didn't work.
Terk ran off crying just like Trina did. Finally, Banzai was traveling though the deep forest since it was his first time exploring. He soon found Jade lying on the ground, he was lifeless.
"Jade! Oh no! Jade, are you asleep?" Banzai asked, he walked around Jade to see his face, he noticed that Jade's eyes were open, but he wasn't moving or breathing.
"No! No! Jade, who did this?" Banzai was looking around, he sniffed the body and smelled the scent of blood. He didn't smell anything else.
Shenzi soon caught up with him and saw Banzai walking around Jade, who was on the ground.
"What happened to Jade?" Shenzi asked, she looked at Banzai with a concered look on her face.
"Someone killed Jade and got away with it." Banzai sat down next to the body.
"Why would they want to kill Jade?" Shenzi wondered, she looked at Jade's body. He had such a young face but she knew he was an old hyena, still he was one of the best fighters.
"I don't know..." Banzai sighed.
"Shall we tell Truffle about this?" Shenzi asked.
"We better tell her. Jade's body is near the border of the red hyenas that Truffle has been telling us about so we better get a move on before she blames us." Banzai nodded to her and they both looked at Jade one last time before leaving to get to the pack in time before they were blamed for his death.
"No wonder why you were out this late a night, you knew something was going on in the forest, didn't you?" Shenzi gave Banzai a quick gaze.
"No, Truffle woke me up and asked me if I could find Trina for her, but I only found Jade's body." Banzai explained the story. Shenzi nodded and understood now.
"Truffle, we have terrible news." Banzai walked up to her den and went inside. Shenzi followed him closely behind. Truffle lifted her head from her meal and licked her lips.
"What's the news?" Truffle asked, she smiled.
"Well, we didn't find Trina, but we found Jade, he's dead." Banzai answered her. Truffle stopped eating the piece of prey and walked over to Banzai.
"What happened to him!?" Truffle was stern now, he was the best fighter they had, she hated to lose her stronger warriors.
"Well we don't know. We just found his body there and there was no trace of Trina at all." Banzai replied.
"Oh no..." Truffle sighed.
"I'm sorry Truffle." Shenzi hugged Truffle, who was sobbing over the loss of their strong warrior. Jade was to be remembered.
"How could this happen?" Banzai growled to himself.
"I'm very sorry Truffle..." Shenzi hugged her. She knew what it was like to lose someone special, even if it was her daughter that died, she knew how others felt.
"Thank you Shenzi..." Truffle sniffled and walked to the back of her den. She was going to get some sleep, which was going to be hard for her since Jade was always her deputy. He also was her helper when setting up a few patrols.
"We better go." Banzai sighed and they both left her den. Ed was still asleep in the den, he was drooling in his sleep. Shenzi laid down next to Banzai, her belly was getting bigger as she was almost ready to have the pup. Just a few more months.
Trina was running through the forest as she reached the border where the red hyenas were. She trespassed and decided to become part of their group. She was too guilty and if she was caught by her mother, at least it would be best to be caught in another pack, than to be killed for murdering a pack mate.
"Help me!" Trina cried out to the red hyenas. They looked at her and growled.
"What are you doing here young lady? You are a white hyena, not a red hyena, you do not belong here!" One of them snapped at her.
"I killed my own pack mate and I need a place to stay, I was kicked out of my pack!" Trina lied, she was trying to become friends with the red hyenas, they laughed at her.
"Then why don't you become a rouge and leave this place before we kill you!" The other red hyena suggested but their female leader stopped them.
"Enough! This hyena can join us, after all we need more pack memebers." She hissed at them both.
"But she's white furred!" The first red hyena complained.
"Let's not disobey Sira's orders. She can stay." The other red hyena finally sighed and showed her around the new border.
"Welcome to the Red Shade Border!" The first red hyena explained. Trina smiled as she got to see the red hyena's pack for the first time in history.
"What are your names?" Trina asked the red hyenas.
"My name is Mutz and this is Lacky." Mutz introduced himself and Lacky. Lacky was the smaller male hyena of the pack while Mutz was the biggest.
"My name is Trina." The female hyena smiled and acted cheery. She was glad that she didn't have to drag Jade's death on. She didn't mean to kill him, she wanted to say she was sorry, but she couldn't. It was too late. If only she understood her mother better and understood that Jade was only joking when he made fun of her. Now Shenzi, Banzai and Ed won't trust her either.
"That's a nice name." Mutz grinned and finally showed her to her own den. Trina leaped excitedly and laid down in her den to get settled. They then walked back to their guarding post to keep watch for intruders.
"Mutz, do you think Trina is lying to us?" Lacky asked.
"I don't know, but it was best not to argue with Sira." Mutz replied.
Both of the red hyenas watched the border to see if any other white hyenas were going to how up and randomly ask to join the pack.
The next day, Shenzi woke up and walked out of the den to get a drink of water. Terk was sent out to find Trina and bring her home safely as Truffle wanted to see her daughter again. She as an adult, but she was needed in their pack to help out in hunting since Jade passed away by a murder that wasn't yet solved by their pack.
Banzai woke up and yawned, he poked Ed, but the silly hyena was still asleep, he only let out a sigh and walked out of the den to also get a drink and some prey to eat. He lapped up the water and looked up at the meadow they were in. Kenya was a beautiful place. No wonder why the white hyenas chose to leave there. Banzai then continued to drink. Once he finished drinking, he walked over to the fresh kill pile and took a rabbit out of it to share with Shenzi who was waiting for him before their training started again.
Shredder heard the news about Jade and Trina and didn't feel like training them today. So Banzai was free along with Shenzi and Ed to do whatever they wanted for the rest of the day while Terk serched for Trina.
But he soon came back without Trina by his side, he walked into Truffle's den to report his findings. Truffle was getting depressed, she wanted to see that her daughter was safe and back at the pack's border, but she wasn't.
"I guess there is only one thing left to do..." Truffle started to say. Terk was confused as Grand came up to them.
"What will we do?" Terk asked.
"Yeah, I also helped Terk." Grand sighed.
"We must serch outside of our border. But not where the red hyenas are, they wouldn't know and they would never take white hyenas into their pack. They do not trust us enough." Truffle announced to them both.
Banzai and Shenzi heard this and wondered who was going out to find Trina. Of course Shenzi was 5 months pregnant and she knew that she wasn't going because she was soon going to have a pup due. Banzai was going to stay as well as he needed to protect Shenzi and Ed wasn't smart enough to search for someone that's been missing for days.
"Who's all going ont he search party?" Grand asked.
"You, Terk, Shredder and me. Shenzi, Banzai and Ed will watch the camp. Plus Shenzi is soon going to have a pup, so it's too dangerous for her." Truffle replied as she got things ready for them to leave. Grand gave a good luck wink to Shenzi and Banzai before they left.
"Take care of the camp while we are gone!" Truffle called to them as she was far away with her search party.
"Don't worry about it Truffle! The meadows will be fine!" Banzai called back. Shenzi waved to them all. Ed finally came out of the den to see Banzai and Shenzi watching something. He ran up to them and laughed.
"Ha ha ha ha ha!" Ed laughed in Banzai's face.
"Shut it! Say good bye to Truffle!" Banzai pointed at the white figures that were far away now.
"It looks like we have to see what happens." Shenzi sighed and continued to watch them go. They were getting farther and farther away from the meadows as they crossed many borders to find Trina and bring her home.
"Trina is such a lost cause." Banzai grinned.
"Banzai, you don't mean that do you?" Shenzi gave him an unpleasant look.
"Look Shenzi, she's trouble! She yells at her own mother and then she runs off!" Banzai argued. Shenzi only shook her head and walked back to the kill that they were eating. Banzai followed her.
"We have to be on the look out for Trina just in case she comes back here." Shenzi said with a mouth full of rabbit meat in her mouth.
"Agreed." Banzai chomped down on the rabbit as well. Ed laughed and ate his share of prey from the pile. They all hoped that Trina was alright wherever she went...
