Omg this is an awesome chapter. There's one more chapter to go. There's also a line from the movie The Lion King. I wanna say thank you for the people who are reading and reviewing. Please read and review.
I felt a hand on my shoulder. I jumped and saw it was David. I glared at him. He laughed, "Just because you don't like my uncle, doesn't mean you have to hate me. I also wanted to tell you we're here." I jumped up and saw everyone on the plane was gone. It's weird that I felt embarrassed. I got off the plane still feeling embarrassed.
*airport*
I was in Africa cause it was hot in the airport. I found the cages and quickly ran over towards them. I also saw Ares, I felt a chill go up my spine. But, I really didn't care. David, came over and asked, "Do you need any help?" I just ignored him. I can't believe he didn't think I can pull it. He was surprised that I can easily push the cages. Honestly I was surprised too. But, I tried to hide my amazement.
*Pride Rock*
It took us 3 hours to get there. I released Bujune and Bahati a few miles back. Bujune looked like he wanted to cry. He went over to me and nuzzled my hand lovingly and ran off with his mother. Its been a few months and I can't believe that I learned to love big cat again. When I saw them leave I felt like crying myself. But, I had a new family to save. When I got there I released Simba, Akoko, and Gwala. I kept Patches inside his cage just in case. I ran up Pride Rock and was happy to see everyone there. It seemed like everyone was happy to see me. Kiara ran up to me in relief. Kiara smiled, "We thought you died." I looked at her confusingly. I asked, "Why did you think I died?" She opened her mouth but, was interrupted by her cubs. Kiara purred at Akoko and Gwala. Nala ran up to Simba and nuzzled him. Patches came running inside. Patches cried, "You left me alone in the jeep. You also left me with a tiger." My eyes popped open. I quickly ran outside and Ares was looking at me. I was afraid to go down but, I did anyway. I cautiously went down. Kiara, Kovu, Simba, and Nala ran out. I guess they thought I was gonna get hurt. They were right. When I got to the bas of Pride Rock, a gun was pulled to my head. He said, "Don't move." they started snarling at my murderer. I knew it was Alastar. He gestured Ares to start defending him. Alastar smirked, "Now why don't we move away from here. So that way we can speak-" he was interrupted by a hiss. I looked up and saw Patches. Patches jumped down and started scratching his face. I laughed at him. I started running to Alastar's jeep. I caught Ares attention and the two lionesses pounced on him.
*jeep*
I was looking for a key. I hoping that maybe if I find the key, then I can go to our house here and get some firearms. Unfortunately I couldn't find the key. I also found out Ares wasn't the only one. There was two amur tigers(those are one of the biggest tigers). Both of them are females. I ran, but I didn't scream. Mostly, because I knew I wasn't going to survive. I heard a roar and saw Kovu and Simba running towards the two tigers. The tigers got ready. One of them easily slashed Simba across his face. Her voice sounded rough, "Oh come on, all we wanted to do was "play" with the girl. Let me introduce myself I'm Chuki. Over there is my sister Katlego." Kovu roared, "It don't care. We want you OUT of the Pride lands, or fight!" Katlego and Chuki looked at each other and laughed. Katlego leered, "We were hoping you would say that." They both jumped at their opponents. I watched in horror. I can't believe I'm putting them in danger. Simba yelled, "RUN IRIS!" He didn't have to tell me twice. I started running and I ended up tripping on something. I looked up and Ailell corpse. I screamed and I saw Alastar pointing his gun towards me. He laughed, "Now there's no one to get in the way." I was really scared. I heard a type of roar I've never heard. I looked to my left and saw Bahati. In the blink of an eye she grabbed Alastar's weapon and broke it in her jaws. He pulled out knife. I kicked him and he fell.
*Pride Rock*
I ran towards Pride Rock. I saw Kiara and Nala were on the ground unconscious. I heard a scream inside and hissing. I ran up to the cave's entrance and saw a few lionesses dead and a few unconscious. Ares cornered Akoko, Gwala, and Patches. Patches was very brave for standing up to him. Patches mocked, "Come here you overgrown rug." Ares roared and Patches ran out the cave whimpering. I screamed, "Leave them alone! It's me you want." He smiled, "Well I guess killing you will be more pleasant." He ran towards me, out of nowhere I heard a gunshot. Ares winced and I saw blood on his shoulder. I looked and saw David. I was so relieved. I ran up to him and hugged him. My face felt so hot. I pushed him away. Ares looked at his shoulder and growled. I thought of something instantly. I grabbed a rock threw it at him. It caught his attention. He ran after me, I may not be fast but I was fast enough to outrun him. I ran towards the cages. I ran inside of it. Ares took the bait, he ran inside the cage, I unlocked the hatch door underneath me, and locked the cage door. Ares looked surprised. I laughed at him. I looked over at Simba and Kovu. Simba had a whole bunch of gashes all over him, he looked very weak. I grabbed a stick and threw it at Chuki. She ran towards me I did the same with her, as I did with Ares. Except, she reached her claws out and slashed my arm. I tried to ignore the pain. I ran over towards Simba. I asked, "Can you get up?" He nodded. I guess he was too weak to answer. I looked at Kovu I guess her sister was weaker than she was. Katlego had gashes all over her. Kovu barely had any. Kovu yelled, "IRIS, WATCH OUT!" I looked behind me and Alastar brought down the knife. It got into my shoulder blade. I started crying. I heard him take out another knife. I also heard Bahati she pounced at him. I looked over my shoulder and saw that he was being drawn towards Pride Rock. I followed them even if I was in no condition to. Bahati, Kiara and Nala were cornering Alastar. He was near the edge of the ledge. I ran up and saw that David at the gun pointed towards him. Alastar grinned, "You won't kill your own uncle would you? I'm uh…family." I grabbed his knife. David hesitated to pull the trigger. I walked over to him and whisper into his ear. I walked up to him whispered, "Well I'm not any family of yours." He glowered, "You wouldn't dare." I glared at him. I leered, "Titim gan éirí ort. It means: May you fall without rising." I stabbed him in the chest. Alastar grabbed the knife. I saw blood come out of his mouth, and he fell from the ledge. I looked down, I knew he wasn't coming back up. I fell backwards and all I saw was them staring.
*back at house*
I woke up and I felt dizzy. I looked around I was in my house. Except, I was still in Africa. I looked over and I saw David asleep on the couch. I also saw Simba laying down. He seemed to be breathing heavy. I thought to myself, 'I can't believe I killed someone. I also can't believe I could befriend lions ever again.' I laughed weakly. David yawned and looked at me. He sighed in relief, "I thought you would never wake up. That was a pretty brave thing you did." I winced at the pain. I forgot I got stabbed in the shoulder blade. Then I thought for a second. There's only one person who knows to fix these types of wounds. I yelled happily, "Mom, are you here?" I was so happy to see my mom. She seemed happy to see me alive. She walked over to me and I hugged her. Tears were going down my cheeks. I never felt so happy in my entire life. I looked over at Simba. My mom giggled, "He'll be just fine." I tried getting up but my legs felt like noodles. I fell to the ground. I was so surprised Katlego was patched up too. David helped me up. Without thinking I kissed him. It only lasted two seconds. I apologized, "I'm so sorry. I didn't know what I-" He kissed me again. I knew that this was a start of a beautiful relationship.
