CHAPTER 8. BLAZING STREETS
Kiara finally reached the driving school and sat in the waiting room nervously. Finally her instructor entered, holding a clipboard. He gestured for her to come with him and she did. Kiara followed him outside and into the parking lot where he stopped.
"Okay where's your car?" The instructor asked.
Kiara pointed to the blue GT-500 right in front of them and the instructor's jaw dropped.
"Uh, Kiara I don't think..." The instructor stuttered
"It'll be fine trust me...And yes my dad does know about it." Kiara cut him off.
The instructor nervously put the 'L' plate on the back windscreen and jumped into the passenger's seat. Kiara started the car's mighty engine and the instructor jumped back in fright. Kiara then recklessly reversed the car and narrowly missed the car parked across the road from them.
"Easy!" The instructor snapped.
"Sorry..." Kiara said sheepishly, all of her lessons were on much less powerful cars.
She carefully drove out of the parking lot and onto the main road, slowly and carefully. As she drove she failed to notice a silver car on the side of the road start its motor and follow her.
Kiara came to set of traffic lights and slammed on the brakes, stopping rather suddenly and sharply. The instructor glared at her and Kiara went bright red. I'm not doing well. Kiara thought as the instructor furiously scribbled on his clipboard. When the lights turned green she made sure that her acceleration was a slow and natural one so that she wouldn't lose any more marks. She reached an intersection and made a sharp left turn without indicating, making several cars toot their horns angrily.
"Indicate God damn it!" The instructor growled.
Behind them, Kovu shook his head. Jesus woman you actually can't drive. At least it gives me another reason to 'save you'. Kovu thought and followed her carefully. He checked his watch, it was just about time for them to turn down their marked road now, so he stopped following and parked the car on the side of the road again. He could start to see smoke rising in the distance. Kovu then noticed that someone else was following Kiara as well, two men in a black Range Rover wearing bowler hats and sunglasses seemed to be tailing her. They seemed awfully familiar.
Kiara drove on casually until she noticed what looked like smoke appearing in the distance. Probably just a house fire. She thought and stopped at a traffic light, a bit more casual this time. Another car pulled up next to her, a black Range Rover like one of the ones the Royal security used. At first she didn't think much of it but then she noticed two very familiar men in the front seat. Gee, that kinda looked like...Timon and Pumbaa! She swung around to face them and rolled down her window. The man in driver's seat smiled at her dumbly.
"Timon what are you doing here?" She yelled out viciously, it was obvious who her followers were now.
"Uh, I think you got the wrong guy lady." Timon said back.
Kiara then reached out of the window and yanked Timon's bowler hat and glasses off. Timon knew he was finished, so he just smiled like an idiot.
Kiara felt an overwhelming rage sweep over her; she knew her father had sent them after her. I knew Dad wouldn't keep his promise, what an asshole. He said to my damn face that he'd let me do this on my own. Kiara thought angrily and glared at Timon and Pumbaa.
"Why? He promised he would trust me and he lied!" She cried out and the instructor raised an eyebrow.
"No it's not like that at all, he just doesn't want you to get hurt that's all." Timon said, partially admitting to being sent.
"You know what...Screw Simba." Kiara said to no one in particular and anxiously awaited the green light.
As soon as the light turned green, Kiara slammed her foot down on the accelerator and sped away, making the instructor scream in terror. Timon and Pumbaa desperately tried to follow but the GT500 was far too quick for them. Kiara turned down Baker Street and realized that Timon and Pumbaa had given up following so she started to slow down. She was so infuriated that she didn't even notice the smoke getting thicker and thicker around them. The driving instructor finally got his breath back and scowled at Kiara.
"Never in my twenty years as a driving instructor..." He started, but paused. Terror had taken the words right out of his mouth. Flames rushed up the road towards them.
Kiara wasn't looking up and didn't see them surging towards her, but the instructor managed to feebly tap her on the shoulder with a trembling hand. Kiara finally looked up and gasped, flames several feet high rushed down the road straight towards them. Kiara slammed her foot down on the accelerator and the tires spun, sending more smoke everywhere.
Eventually she managed to turn the car around (After doing a semi-burnout) , and the smoke from the fire had filled the cabin of the car. Kiara struggled to breathe and rolled the window up before any more smoke could get in, which was a bad idea. She gunned the car in the opposite direction but found the flames had already cut them off. Great...now what?
Kiara tried to drive through the flames, but the heat became unbearable as she drove through, so she turned around and went in her original direction. She started to choke on the smoke as she went and struggled to keep conscious, she noticed that the driving instructor had already passed out, and was slumped onto the dashboard. She persisted on until suddenly a burning tree fell down and blocked her from going any further. She was about to reverse but then saw the fire behind her had completely cut her off. Her only chance of surviving now was to get out of the car and try to climb over the fallen tree.
Kiara was hardly conscious now, and was struggling to keep awake; the foul smell of burning material and smoke filled her nostrils and mouth. She desperately tried to open the door of the car, but for some reason it wouldn't budge. She tried again and again; she had to get out now otherwise she would die from the smoke. Finally the door swung open, and Kiara collapsed onto the burning hot road next to the car.
She tried to pull herself up, but didn't have the energy to do so. She pushed down on the ground again, trying to lift herself but her arms gave way beneath her and she collapsed back down on the road. She couldn't move, it was if the smoke had completely paralyzed her. The only thing she could manage to do was blink, before she finally blacked out.
She lay there completely helpless as the flames closed in on her. So this is it...on my eighteenth birthday. She opened her eyes for one final time, and saw another car emerge through the fire and flames. The gull-wing style door opened and a tall, reasonably built man approached her, his intentions uncertain. He crouched over her and put a hand on her cheek. He seemed awfully familiar to Kiara. She then closed her eyes again.
This chapter's question is: What is Kovu's car? Hint: It has gull-wing doors, it's silver and was quite popular during the eighties (use google). Review your answers.
