Chapter 12

-Sarabi's point of view-

"Your majesty excuse me" Zazu came in flying in the den "you and king Mufasa have visitors" we weren't expecting anyone this early in the morning

"Who are these visitors Zazu? Asked my mate

"The Furaha pride's royal family" he said bowing down to the king

" Fina!" I said exited to see my best friend after so long, I got up and run to the entrance of the den Mufasa following my steps

"Sarafina!" I said calling her attention

"Sarabi! Mufasa!" she came running, hugged both of us, but the embraces were interrupted by Moyo clearing his trough, there he was standing next to him a male cub, with green eyes and a cream coat

"Hello Moyo" greeted Mufasa

"There's no time for formalities where's my daughter?" said rudely the green-eyed king

My husband and I looked at each other "we haven't seen Nala in two years" said Mufasa

"What is going on?" I asked Sarafina

She lowered her head and said "we can't find Nala"

"I know she's here" said Moyo looking around

"I don't see her around" I said rolling my eyes Mufasa shook his head at me and then turned to Moyo

"If you would like to look around, I'm about to go on border patrol if you would like to join me" he said

"All right" he said, after saying goodbye the two kings left accompanied by Zazu.

"So…who's this little guy?" I asked about the cub standing next to my friend

"Oh sorry my bad" apologized the lioness

"More like Moyo's bad for interrupting so rudely" I said making her chuckle

"This is my son Ehsan" she said smiling "Ehsan this is queen Sarabi"

"Nice to meet you your majesty" he said bowing his head

"Nice to meet you too Ehsan" I said smiling to the cub "Kings above! It's been so long" I said getting chocked up looking at Sarafina

"Much too long" she said sadly and then turned to her son and said "honey, you can go play"

"Yes mother" he said leaving us alone

Sarafina sighed deeply and said "oh Sarabi, I ruined everything"

"What do you mean?" I asked concerned for my friend

"I ruined my daughter's life" she said trying to hold back her tears "I should have stayed here, she was happy, she had a family, friends everything she needed, but I took her away because I was in love with that monster" continued not longer able to hold back her tears, I putted my paw on hers and she said "maybe it's best if we never find her, I don't know what Moyo will do to her if finds her" Sarafina told me everything that had happen this past two years, how Ehsan came in to her life, about Moyo's anger, how Nala was treated and how she ran away trying to escape an arranged marriage, I told her about Simba and how different and out of control he was and how ultimately he had to be exiled by his father, we cried together, letting everything we've held inside come out, it broke my heart to see her like this, so broken and helpless even when I was feeling the same way.

"Mufasa says it will help him grow up" I said remembering my husband's words "I hope he's right

"I just hope both Simba and Nala are alright" she said looking in to the distance

"The kings above will protect them" I said then we decided to inside the den so Sarafina could rest and eat something.

-Nala's point of view-

After much walking, I finally started recognizing the landscape, the waterhole, the trees, everything, I was back home, back in the pride lands

"I've missed this place so much" I said looking around

"I know, I'm sorry we can't stay longer" Simba said

"It's okay, I wish I could say hi to your parents" I sighed, I missed the king and queen of the pride lands, they always treated me like family, even more than my own

"You could try" Simba said shrugging his shoulders

"What about you?" I asked the golden lion

"I don't think my father, will be very happy to see me here" he said "you go ahead, I'll wait for you here" he said climbing a tree. Pride rock was only a few feet ahead, but then I saw the queen walking towards the waterhole to have a drink, I walked in her direction she looked up at me and gasped

"Nala?" she asked

"Queen Sarabi" I smiled and gave her a hug

"Darling it's nice to see you, but your mother and father are looking for you" she said looking back at pride rock

"Please don't tell them I'm here" I said backing away from her

"Mother look!" "Ehsan where are you-?" "it's Nala!" my brother and mother came running from the den to me

"Sweetie are you all right? I was so worried" she said hugging me

"Yes mom I'm fine" I said returning the hug

"I'm so happy you're back" she pulled from the hug to look at me

"I'm not coming back mom" I said with a sigh

"Nala you can't just be out here by yourself" she said with concern

"I'm not alone mom, I'm with-"

"Simba!" Sarabi exclaimed

"Mom!" I turned back to see Simba running towards us

"Oh my little prince!" the queen squeezed her son

He looked at me and said "Nala your father is here! We have to go!"

My mom cleared he trough to call his attention "hello Simba" she said

"Oh hey miss Sarafina" he said with a nervous laugh

"Mom, please this is the only chance I will ever have to be free" I pleaded

She sighed and said "take care of each other" I gave her another hug and said goodbye to her and my little bother

"Your father's are coming, go now" said Sarabi after she said goodbye to us

"We are going to the eastern jungle, if you ever need to find us" Simba said to them

"Let's go" Simba said and we started running, is this really happening? I have my best friend and my freedom, for the first time in years I feel happy and like anything is possible, I just hope it lasts.
