The Princess Effect

Chapter 11

=Kiara=

"What do you mean?" I asked my eyes full of concern

"I was there…I...I seen Scar throw Mufasa off" Shasta said ashamed

"Why didn't you tell anyone?"

"I was young and scared of what Scar would do to me?" replied Shasta

I smiled and nuzzled him and said "It wasn't your fault, like you said you were young and scared"

Shasta smiled and said "I love you"

I smiled and nuzzled under his chin and he nuzzled back.

He pulled back and said "What are we going to tell your father?"

I sighed and shook my head. Then I looked at him and said "I don't know"

"He won't be too happy, that's for sure" said Shasta looking to the stars

Then it hit me

I look at hand said "I will be a year in a couple of months. He can't tell me then who I want to be my mate" I said with a seductive smile

He smiled back and we nuzzled under the stars.

Months Later

"My, how you've grown!"

That was my grandmother Sarafina. Today is my first hunt and the day the day I tell my father, I want to be mates with Shasta.

"You'll do just fine" said mother as she hugged me

I looked at father who was looking vaguely glumand I said "Daddy... you have to promise to let me do this on my own. Promise?"

He looked at mother who raises her eyebrows at him. He rolls his eyes upward acquiescently.

Then he looked at me and said "All right... I promise"

I smiled and hugged him and then I whispered in his ear "I have something to tell you when I get back"

Then I ran off into the savanna. Not knowing when I return there will be un expected guest there.
