The Prince and the Freak
Chapter 10: Death and Surprise
=ALAKAY=
When I woke the next day everyone was up and out of the cave leaving me the only one in here. I got up and stretched, and then I went outside. I was greeted by stars. I walked to the peak and saw the pride gather around Simba's uncle. I ran down the rocky steps to mother who was near Queen Sarabi and Nala's mother Sarafina, a tawny lioness with apple green eyes.
"Mother what's going on?" I asked when I got to them
Mother shushed me and pulled me closer to her while Nala glared at me from behind her mother's leg. Queen Sarabi was crying while Sarafina and mother were confronting her. We all looked up to Scar when he started to speak,
Mufasa's death was a terrible tragedy;
But to lose Simba, who had barely begun to live...
I looked around the pride to see everyone crying but no one matches the sadness and grief of Queen Sarabi. I looked back to Scar because he started his speech again,
...For me it is a deep personal loss.
So it is with a heavy heart that I assume the throne.
Yet, out of the ashes of this tragedy,
We shall rise to greet the dawning of a new era
Everyone gasped, coming out of the shadows were packs of hyenas.
In which lion and hyena come together, in a great and glorious future
After Scar said that he roared to let everyone know he's our new king. Mother was with Sarabi so I ran to her, but stopped because of what I heard.
"Did he know?"
"No"
"What are you going to do?"
"I really don't know Cali, with Scar king…I just don't know"
"You should keep it, Sarabi"
"Why?"
"It's the only thing you have left of Mufasa"
"I guess you're right Cali"
Then mother and Sarabi nuzzled each other heads.
"I can't believe Sarabi's pregnant" I said to myself walking away to the watering hole.
