Johari blinked her sapphire blue eyes open to jump from shock at seeing a golden cub looking at her with bright orange eyes. "Who are you? Where am I?"

Seth took a step back before lowering his head. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to scare you. I'm Seth and you are in the Pridelands. Well, the part that my mother rules."

The tawny beige cub looked tooken back. "You're a prince?"

Seth shrugged his shoulders. "Kind of. What's your name?"

Johari blushed before smiling lightly. "Johari."

Seth smiled before standing. "My friends and I are going exploring and...would like to come?"

Johari smiled before standing. Seth grinned before leading the younger cub out the den. Where the the golden cub was tackled by a light blur. Johari watched as the blur turned out to be a light cream lioness cub with small light cream fur sticking up on her head. Seth laughed before giving the young female on him a light push before he stood.

"Guys, this is Johari." Seth smiled at the tawny beige cub. Then he turned his orange eyes towards the four cubs, starting with the light cream one. "Johari, this is Skye, Furaha, Matthew and Kion."

Kion frowned before sticking out his tongue. "Yuck! Another girl."

Furaha rolled her dark green eyes before smiling at Johari. "Don't pay that goof no mind. We're excited to have another girl."

Johari smiled grateful for the nice words. But as the group head out from the caves, she stuck close to Seth. Which went unnoticed by Skye, she was only a month like Johari but she had an uneasy feeling that she just couldn't shake. A nudge to the shoulder caused her to shake her head before she looked into the dark green eyes of her friend, Matthew.

"What's wrong?"

Skye didn't know what was wrong, so she just brushed the creamy beige cub's question off. "Nothing is wrong. What made you ask?"

Matthew smiled at his young friend. "Normally, you'll be by Seth's side. Why the sudden change?"

Skye didn't know how to answer that so she kept quiet. But deep down she knew is was because of Johari. The light cream cub was snapped out of her thoughts by rustling nearby. She sudden felt a wave of fear hit her before she moved her pale blue eyes towards the front of the group.

"Seth!"

The golden cub stopped walking along with the others and looked over his shoulder. The look on Skye's face caused him to turned completely around with concerned orange eyes. "Skye? What's wrong?"

Skye shook her head and stepped back. "We should head back."

Kion was about to say something smart but a loud roar caused him to freeze. The group of seven looked towards the tall green grasses to the west before a greyish lioness jumped through followed by a sandy brown lion.

Seth remembered his mother warning him about this lion and looking at the lioness and lion, he knew they wasn't here to say hello. "Run!"

The cubs scattered, causing the lion and lioness to grin before giving chase.

-O-

"King Kovu, sir?" a greyish-brown lioness asked as she stepped in the main cave.

The dark brown male stepped out of the shadows with a annoyed glare. "What is is now, Jara?"

The greyish-brown lioness took a step back and took a deep breath before lifting her head. "I'm here to report a treachery."

Kovu walked towards the rocky slope before turning to face the lioness. "Who might be the trader in our mist?"

Jara sighed heavily, it was now or never. "My sister, my king."

Kovu had turned from his sister in law and was looking at his kingdom that he rightfully gain before he snapped his green eyes towards the greyish-brown lioness. "Nyara? What has my queen done?"

Jara took a step forward and shook her head. "No. It's what she's about to do. Nyara is out right now to kill your son from Kiara."

Kovu looked at Jara for a while before he scoffed. "She's doing me a favor. I don't need any reminders of-"

"How you are a heartless and cruel!" Jara snarled, her brown eyes full of disgust. "We're talking about your son!"

Kovu snarled at Jara, he apporched with bared teeth. "I am king! I push the law! If I want that brat of Kiara's dead, so be it! There's nothing you could do about it!"

Jara felt sick as she watched Kovu head down the rocky slope. She couldn't believe he was so barbarous. She shook her head, she wouldn't stand by and let that poor cub get killed by her sister and his father. She quickly lept down the slope and bolted through the plains. She didn't get very far before she ran into something. Jara looked down and frowned at the cub at her paws. "Jasiri, what are you doing out here?"

The two month old rusty brown cub looked up with big brown eyes. "Mom, I saw Mr. Kavan by the watering hole."

Jara sighed in relief. She has the help she needs. "Alright. Now I want to to go to the Royal pride, tell Queen Kiara that her son is danger."

Jasiri wanted to protest but figured her mother would explain when she got the chance. Nodding the rusty brown cub ran off towards the caves as Jara headed in the direction of the water hole. Praying that they won't be too late.
