Yay, the new chapter to my story, please enjoy I don't own anything.
The king stared at his kingdom from atop of Pride Rock it glory, the sun was just starting to set in the horizon. The colors of the sun reflected in his blood red mane, making different shades appear; his golden pelt sparkled with highlights, while his deep brown eyes almost looked like rubies. "King Simba?" his head turned "Zazu I told you just call me Simba, King sounds to formal" "Oh yes, I'm terribly sorry" he cleared his throat "You have company, in the form of a merkat and warthog".
As he descended from his perch, he was met by a friendly tackle from his two bet buddies "Simba, how've you been?" "Timon, Pumbaa good to see you". He took them in a hug, "We've been wondering about you, must be hard doing all that kingly business. I could never handle such a job like that, you Pumbaa?" "Nope not me"; "It's not all that bad" he assured.
The three walked up to the main den, where they were greeted by Nala. Who gave friendly smiles to Timon and Pumbaa, before nuzzling her mate. Simba nuzzled her back "And how are you, my love?" she responded by a low purr. He chuckled; her head then came up to kiss him. Simba's eyes closed as he kissed her back, they weren't embarrassed that the two could see them Timon who still wasn't use to seeing them all lovely dovey clutched his stomach, Pumbaa merely smiled "Aww isn't that cute Timon" "Yeah" he gulped "In another world" he mumbled.
"When can I see you?" He whispered she smiled "Meet later tonight!" he grinned "I'll defiantly be there!" it was in a panic that Zazu came flying down out of breath "Sire, Sarabi has been attacked!" both their eyes went wide, Simba's especially his mother? But why? "Zazu where is she? Can you take me to her?" In a panic Simba was lead by Zazu far beyond the pride lads to come across a horrible image, Sarabi laid in a pool of her own blood, the life from her eyes looked as though they where draining.
"Mother!" Simba shouted how pale she looked "Zazu get Rafiki quickly, hurry!" As Zazu flew off Simba gathered some leaves and started to press against his mother's wound. It was a large deep cut that looked as though it had been just recently. "Nala I need more pressure!" she joined her mates side trying to stop the bleeding. "How could have this have happened?"
Flashback
"Zira what so you want!" Sarabi spat as she surrounded all around. A wicked grin came to her face, "Why we here to put an end to your suffering dear friend". "What so you mean?" "I'm sure that Mufasa is waiting for you" Sarabi growled "So you think I'll die that easily do you?" she leaped on Zira but was attacked by several lionesses from all sides. Sarabi swung her paw out on one of them the blood run from her face as she screamed in pain. Her owns screams filled the air as her right shoulder was bitten.
Still refusing to back down Sarabi dodged a swipe and gave one of her own to another. The main target was Zira, and she was determined to take her down with her. "Zira, I swear if I die, then you' re coming with me!" Sarabi then grabbed her and bite down hard on her chest "AHHHHHHHH" Zira screamed taken her paw; she hit Sarabi off sending her back several feet into the claws of the lionesses. Sarabi tried to fight back but there was just too many of them. Zira winced as blood came down walking in pain to her once dear friend. Sarabi had been pinned down and was held tightly by the lionesses. "What a pity" she raised her paw "Consider this a thank you, for all those years you put me in pain".
Her claws made contact with Sarabi who screamed in agony. Blood now ran freely down her body, "Leave her, she'll die anyway". Before they were spotted they ran from the scene back to the outland leaving Sarabi to bleed to death.
End Flashback
Zazu finally appeared with Rafiki who wasted no time in stopping the bleeding. "It's a large wound, she lucky to still be breathing". A quick check along with a nod and Rafiki spoke "She hasn't lost too much blood; it's not going to threaten her life". Simba body relaxed up until now it was tense a very heavy relived sigh escaped his mouth. He watched as the old baboon made some sort of paste with leaves and twigs. He grinded them up before gently rubbing it over the wound the earned a painful groan from Sarabi.
"What is that?" Nala asked "It's a special medicine that will ease the pain. The wound itself will take some time to heal". With tender care Sarabi was carried back by Simba, Nala and Rafiki; back to Pride Rock where she was set inside the cave to rest. "Oh Mother, I'm so sorry" Simba said as he sat next to her with Nala at his side. "Who could've done something like this?" "Simba?" his head turned to Nala, "Yes?" "You don't suppose that it was Zira that did it?" Simba's face went from confusion to understand meant. "It makes perfect sense!" he growled "I see, she tried to kill my mother in order to get closer to me".
Nala looked from Sarabi to Simba how angry he looked. His claws unshielded "I'll be back" he growled "Where are you going?" he didn't answer he just walked past her out of the cave. "Simba wait!" she called he ignored her and continued walking. Nala looked concern "Simba please, wait!" she ran to catch up with him "Please tell me where you're going". He still didn't answer her; she stopped when she saw him cross the line between the Outlands and the Pridelands she gasped "He wouldn't!" she ran to stop him "Simba come back, please come back!" "Do you think he's coming?" "Oh" Halafi grinned "He'll be here you'll see".
