Chapter 7
"Sophie, Sophie, wake up," Will said as he tapped her shoulders. 'Wha, what," Sophie said as she rubbed her eyes. "Are
you alright?"
Will asked her as he helped her sit up. Sophie was shocked. Did he really just help her? No, impossible, Will never liked her as
she
was a spoiled brat. "Will, I'm fine," Sophie replied cordially. "I just had a weird dream that we could talk to Keate's
monkey." Will blinked
and laughed at her. "Bizzarre isn't it?" Will asked playing with her hair. "We really did get a spell put on us that we can talk
to animals."
"Will, you're joking," Sophie replied laughing as the little monkey came in. "Not, unless I tell the joke," Izzy replied.
Sophie backed away from Will. Why was he always playing with her hair? Did he really like her that much or did he
just like her with short hair? Sophie then blinked and looked at the little monkey. "So, tell me what's your name?"
the monkey asked her. "Sophie," she replied still laughing. "I'm Izzita and everyone calls me Izzy. Put her there
my lady," Izzy continued as she extended a hand at the confused human. Sophie backed off trying not the touch
the monkey. "It's alright, I am bug and disease free," Izzy replied smiling. "I feel like I am having a normal conversation
with another human," Sophie replied smiling. "Ah...that's the way it's supposed to feel. We maybe in other forms than a
human but we do have conversations," replied as she smiled at Sophie who found Izzy to be another human." Sophie
smiled and liked the little monkey as it was nice to have another female around. However, little did Sophie know that
Izzy had a dark seceret that was liked to keep quiet from the two. "So, I heard that you chopped all of your locks
off yesterday," Izzy replied smiling. "How did you..." Sophie then turned her attention to Will and smiled sarcastically.
"Hey, who told you that you could tell the little monkey that I cut my hair?" Sophie asked. "Well, it looks very nice,"
Izzy replied to Sophie's question and short hair fits your face." "That's what Will said to me when he saw me when
he was awake." "Did you really cut it yourself?" The optimistic little monkey asked. "Yes, and I didn't want to either
and I cried for an hour after all of my precious hair was gone. I had my hair like that since I was '6'. But I knew
I would be here a year with this heat and all, so I decided to go really short as I knew it would be easier for me." Izzy
smiled at her. "Well, ladies, I think it's time to get moving on breakfast as we have along drive ahead of us." "So, where
are we going exactly?" Izzy and Sophie asked in unison. "We are going to head to what Keaty calls the "The Pride Lands,"
Will replied as he gently took Sophie's hands, and Izzy jumped on her back. "Oh, what a special place," the little
monkey chimed in. "You will love the Pride Lands, where the lions are. And especially King Mufasa, Sarabi and their son
Simba who was born 6 months ago. " "Lions?" Sophie replied as her face lit up. "Lions," Izzy replied as Sophie was
hungry to know more.
It had been 3 hours on the road and Will and Sophie looked out over the Savannah and listened to Izzy tell the
story of the great "Lion Kings," Mufasa, Simba the wise old baboon Rafiki, and the evil king Scar. "Scar?" Sophie asked
as she looked at Izzy. "Why is he evil?" Will added. "He's a crafty old lion who will do anything to get his way. Infact, he
also knows strong black magic and has the ability to transform certain specias into another kind." Sophie and Will let
out a great amount of laughter. "That's impossible," Sophie replied as she blinked and looked back and blinked her
eyes. "Sophie, you believe that we can communicate," Izzy replied. "And Will told me that you wanted to talk to animals.
Well, here's your chance and this is real and so is Scar's pure evil. My advice to you is that you just plain ignore him
and avoid him. And I would especially keep Sohpie away from him as..." "As what?" Sophie asked and then looked to
see what Sophie was talking about. "There he is now," Izzy stated crossing her arms. "That crafty devil is leading
king Mufasa to that gorge. Sophie and Will stopped the car and pulled out their cameras, and noticed the two lions.
"Which one is Scar and which is Mufasa?" Sophie replied trying to make a good guess in her head. "Scar is the orange
lion and the other is Mufasa. Scar's an unattractive one isn't he?" Izzy asked scowling. "Well, he looks worried to me
as there is a lot of dust down there in that gorge," Will stated as he watched the two run into the gorge." "Looks can be
deceiving." Izzy stated as she tapped both of them on the shoulders. "I think we need to be going now," Izzy
protested as she looked at the two. "Humans," Izzy thought as she looked away and blinked. In addition, seeing that
lion again gave Izzy the chills of the kinds of games he could play on one. He had played many on her and would
not let him make that play again.
