"Amber!"

The dark auburn lioness walked from the shadows. Sanders by her side, and he's not happy.

"Yes, Tani"

"I need you to go to the Pride Lands, get the little twerp and bring him to me!"

Amber nodded, "Where and when? Also what if I get a tag along?"

"Well make sure it somebody we can take out without a problem"

Amber nodded and went to do what she was asked. Vitani turned to the growing teen and smiled.

"My, look how you grown..I have some things to take care of and I need you to watch Sherise"

Sanders smirked, "My honor"

"Good. She's by the south mound"

Sanders didn't wait for anything else and left to find the three and a half month old cub.

-X-

Amber walked up Pride Rock and saw James trying to catch his tail. She rolled her apple green eyes and walked over.

"Hello" Amber purred

The tawny cub stopped and looked up with a smile. "Hello. I never seen you before"

"Why...I'm your auntie Amber...I'm your daddy's sister"

"Cool. I want a sister...or a brother"

"Amber, is that you?"

Amber turned and saw Sarabi and Tej. Perfect. Amber smiled and nodded.

"Yes, mama. Its me, I heard about this little one and had to come. I so pose would it be ok if I took the little light for a walk"

Sarabi was unsure as Tej growled.

"I don't know..."

"Oh...but mama. You could come too."

Sarabi looked from her granddaughter to her mate who looked like he was fighting with himself. The old beige lioness looked back and nodded.

"Are we going somewhere?" James asked as he pranced on his paw tips

"Yes, my dear. We're going to spend time with your auntie"

"Cool!"

James pranced out of the cave with Amber following. Sarabi gave Tej a sorry look before following her grands.

-X-

"When do we attack!" Growled a gray hyena as drool dripped from his black muzzle

"When they come in sight!"

Vitani looked from the tall grass and smiled. "It seems I over picked. I only need two hyenas"

The light beige lioness turned and scanned the area. Two small gray hyenas met her eyes and was the ones she picked.

"Let the party begin"

-X-

"So what is there you want to know?" Sarabi asked

Amber stopped and turned. "Why you're so behind everything...even after what Mufasa put you through"

"Because...I love him"

Laughter was heard which made the fur on Sarabi rise.

"Well, that's sweet and all. But I'm afraid you won't be here long enough to share"

Sarabi's eyes widen as she saw Vitani appear with two hyenas.

"James run!"

Vitnai smirked, "Attack!"

James ran as the hyenas pounced on Sarabi. The old lioness killed them with ease. Two hard blows to the head. By now Amber stud in the old queen's way.

"Move!"

Amber shook her head, "I can't do that"

"Than I will be force to hurt you"

"Do what you got to"

Sarabi sighed before pouncing on her granddaughter. The two rolled till Amber was on top and beating the life out of Sarabi.

"You foolish old hag!"

With a burst of engery, Sarabi kicked her legs and smacked Amber real hard, where it knocked her out.

"Help!"

Sarabi looked up with wide eyes before running off.

-X-

"Please, don't hurt me" James cried

His mouth was bleeding from when Vitani hit him before.

"Don't count on it!" The light beige lioness sneered

Vitani swiped at the six week prince. Leaving a gash on his leg and side. James was fighting to stay awake but after Vitani hit him again, sending the small cub a few feet everything went black.

"Vitani!"

The light beige lioness looked and seen Sarabi charging towards her. Vitani met the attack head on. The two bit and scratched and Sarabi was losing. So she scratched Vitani across the eye, leaving two deep scars across it. Vitani roared in pain as Sarabi grabbed James and limped towards Pride Rock.
