A/N: Ok my fellow readers. I'm back but don't know for how long. My phone died and I'm using my brother's phone. No laptops or desktops in the house. Sadly. But enough of my ramblings. Here's chapter 12, enjoy!

Her black claws dug into the ground as she paced. Her white sharp teeth was bared. A million thoughts running through her head. One was about how she couldn't wait to tear into that lioness' flesh that stole her mother's life. When a roar reach her black rimmed ears, she growled as she pounced. Her black claws dug into her prey's flesh before the other found their self on their back. Her claws digging lightly into her prey's throat. A evil chuckle made her return to the real world.

"Well done, my daughter"

Sherise shook her head before stepping of the light beige lioness.

"You are ready"

Sherise smiled, knowing she's one step closer to getting back what's rightfully her mother's.

The stars shone brightly over the sleeping Pride Lands. A yawn ripped from the young prince's muzzle as he made his way to Pride Rock. Once he was at the top the eldest child of the king and queen was surprised to see a pale golden cub sitting outside the cave.

"Jai!"

James shook his head before looking at his little brother. Rich reddish brown met emerald green.

"Kellan! What are you doing out here?!"

The pale golden prince pinned his ears. "I wooke up annd I didn't see you"

James smiled lightly before moving closer to the sad prince. "Its ok Kai. I'm here and nothing's going to take me away"

Kellan looked up with a small smile. "Promise?"

James nodded before giving his brother a noogie. "Promise"

Kellan gave a small yawn which earn a smile from his older brother.

"I believe its bed time for you"

Kellan was about to protest but he was grabbed by his nape and took into the cave. James laid down in his area, which is the far corner in the cave. He placed Kellan in between his paw and smiled at the sight of his sound of sleep brother. With the shake of his head he laid his head down and closed his rich reddish brown eyes.

"What's the plan, my queen?" Bowed a black hyena

Vitani smiled as she stared at her large pack of hyenas and her pride. The light beige lioness leaped on a ledge and smiled evily at her followers.

"Our time for revenge is now! Tomorrow the prince will go on his first patrol! Where we will corner him in the gorge! We will make the dam break and our chosen one will come to the rescue!"

The pride roared as the packs yiped and growled. Vitani smiled before laughing evily under the full moon under the blood red sky.

His bluish gray eyes watched as a large amount of smoke rise in the air two kingdoms away. With a swift turn the black lion bolted from his perch. To a clearing where a large pale light brown lion with a dark brown mane and baby blue eyes was talking to a large soft gray lion with a black mane and pale gray eyes.

"General Howard!"

The two lions stopped what they were talking about and looked at the black lion.

"Yes, Darkon" replied the pale light brown lion

"The Devil's Den are making their way over. They had already took out the kingdom to the east"

Howard sighed as his baby blue eyes landed on the lion next to him. "Kukuza, take Coulson and head to the Pride Lands"

The soft gray lion bowed, "Of course Howard. I'll leave straight away"

Howard smiled gratefully before turning to Darkon. "We're heading to the Coventry. We got to inform King Bahati and King Archangel of the news"

Darkon nodded before following the general to the kingdom. Kukuza watched the two lions disappear before turning and heading in another direction.
