Zoe: fear not Zira won't go down that path just yet. Or maybe not at all. You will have to wait and see. But you won't have to wait to see who Scar will choose as his mate. Thanks for reviewing.

bikerboy: I think you may be the only one who will miss Ahadi lol. But yeah Scar definitely needs some sense knocked into him. But yeah sometimes people need to be told more than once before something really sinks in. Thanks for reviewing.

Ch 13 Tragedy and Joy

A week passed and the time came when Scar decided he had waited long enough to choose a mate. "I cannot deny my feelings anymore," the brown coated Prince thought. "As much as I care for Zira I know now she's not the one for me. I'm in love with Sarafina. I guess I always have been. She's the one I want to be with. I just hope Zira isn't to hurt by this." With that Scar set off to find the two lionesses. But when he found Sarafina he saw that she wasn't alone. Sarabi, Zira, and Fura were with the young lioness. And she was sobbing into Fura's fur.

"What's wrong?" Scar asked alarmed by Sarafina's devastated state.

"Oh Scar something terrible has happened," Zira said her voice breaking.

"What happened?" Scar asked dreading the answer.

"Well Scar..." Sarabi began.

"No Sara' let me," Sarafina said with a sniffle.

"Are you sure honey?" Fura asked softly.

"Yes Mom I'm sure," Sarafina said with a sigh. Then the creamy lioness took a shaky breath. "I was taking a walk earlier today like I always do. But this time I went a little farther than I usually do and I ended up near the Outlands. I turned around to go back and that's when he appeared."

"Who?" Scar asked softly.

"There was this lion there," Sarafina said her voice shaking. "He must have been a rouge or something. But anyways he approached me and said 'what's a pretty thing like you doing out her all alone.' Well he just gave me a bad feeling so I tried to run away from him. I guess he didn't like it because the next thing I knew he jumped on me and pinned me down." Sarafina paused and took a breath closing her eyes as some tears escaped. Fura nuzzled her daughter as did Sarabi. "I begged him to let me up," Sarafina continued. "But he just laughed in my face and said 'I always get what I want.' That's when he...he raped me." With those words Sarafina broke down and sobbed into her mother's fur.

"Oh Kings Above," Scar whispered. Then in a louder voice he said, "What did this bastard look like?"

"He had a silver gray coat," Sarafina replied after a minute. "And a reddish brown mane. And those cold ice blue eyes."

"I'll kill him," Scar growled as he turned to leave.

"Scar no!" Sarafina cried out her blue eyes wide. "Please don't leave me!"

"Nobody hurts the lioness I love and gets away with it," Scar declared.

"Please Scar," Sarafina begged. "Mufasa is already handling it. He's out there right now with Uru and Selena tracking him down. Please stay with me. I need you."

"Very well," Scar said with a sigh. "I'll stay. But only because you asked me to 'Fina." With that Scar pulled his love close and she buried her face in his mane.

"You still love me even after all this?" Sarafina asked softly.

"Of course I do," Scar replied. "This wasn't your fault 'Fina. Never forget that. I love you and I always will. Why else would I want to be your mate?"

"You do?" Sarafina asked looking up at Scar with surprise. Zira's eyes went wide but the tan lioness said nothing.

"Yes I do," Scar confirmed smiling at the creamy lioness. "Unless you don't want to be my mate."

"Oh Scar!" Sarafina cried nuzzling into Scar's jet black mane. "Of course I do!"

"Well," Zira said suddenly causing Scar and Sarafina to look at her. "I certainly hope you both will be very happy together."

"Zira," Scar said. "I'm sorry if I hurt you."

"Oh you didn't hurt me," Zira said. "I knew this was coming. And yes I was hoping you'd pick me Scar but I'll get over it."

"Zira," Sarafina said. "I hope we're still friends."

"Of course we are," Zira said with a smile. "We're more than friends 'Fina. Me, you and Sarabi are sisters. Nothing will change that."

"Thank you Zi'," Sarafina said giving her friend a nuzzle. "You don't know how happy I am to hear you say that."

"Well I mean it," Zira declared. "Congratulations." Just then Mufasa returned along with Selena. Scar immediately noticed Uru wasn't with them.

"Where's Mom?" the brown lion asked looking around for the brown coated former Queen.

"There was an accident," Selena declared her voice breaking. "We found the rouge that raped Sarafina and we confronted him. Only he..." She trailed off unable to continue the story.

"He put up a fight," Mufasa finished with a sniffle. "We were able to kill him but I'm afraid we lost Mom." Mufasa's voice broke at this and Sarabi ran to her mate and pulled him close allowing him to sob on her shoulder.

"Where is she?" Scar asked after a couple minutes.

"At the bottom of Priderock," Selena said. "We didn't want to bring her up here without telling you what happened first."

"I need to see her," Scar declared. With that he ran down the side of Priderock with Sarafina, Mufasa, Sarabi, Selena, Fura and Zira right behind him. When he reached the bottom he saw his mother's body laying there. "Oh Mom," Scar whispered, tears coming to his eyes. He bent down and gave his mother a nuzzle the tears going into her fur.

"Brother I'm sorry," Mufasa said putting a paw on his young brother's shoulder.

"You damn well should be sorry Mufasa!" Scar growled shaking his brother's paw off of him. "You should have waited for me to confront that bastard! Mother had no business going with you! But you were so eager to play hero that you didn't even bother to think what could happen!"

"Scar I..." Mufasa began.

"Just save it!" Scar hissed wiping the tears away angrily. With that Scar turned and ran back up the side of Priderock with Sarafina right behind him.

"Well that didn't go well at all," Mufasa said with a shaky sigh.

"Come on Muffy," Sarabi said gently. "Let's prepare for the funeral." With that Mufasa and Sarabi left to inform the Pride of the tragic news.

TLKTLKTLK

A couple of weeks later Scar was feeling slightly better. He decided not to let his anger at his brother ruin his happiness with Sarafina. Just the day before he and Sarafina had had their mating ceremony. And the wedding nigh had gone off without a hitch. Scar was worried that Sarafina wouldn't want to mate with him after what had happened to her. But after a couple of tries the were able to mate. Now Scar was waiting for his love to return from a walk with Fura. Just then Sarabi and Mufasa approached him. By now Sarabi was nearing the end of her pregnancy. "Well how are you feeling today Sara'?" Scar asked totally ignoring his brother.

"I really wish this cub would come already," Sarabi said sitting down with a grunt.

"He'll come when he's ready Sara'," Mufasa said with a laugh. Sarabi just glared at her mate causing him to laugh again. Scar opened his mouth to say something but before he could he heard the sounds of sobbing. The group turned and saw Sarafina coming towards them along with Fura. It was clear that the younger lioness was very upset.

"What's wrong?" Scar asked alarmed at his mate's appearance.

"Oh Scar the most terrible thing has happened," Sarafina sobbed burying her face in Scar's mane.

"Oh come now 'Fina," Scar gently soothed. "It can't be that bad."

"Yes it can!" Sarafina sobbed. "I'm pregnant!"

"Well that's not terrible at all," Scar said gently pulling away from his mate. "I think it's wonderful that we're having a cub. Although I didn't think you could tell only one day after mating."

"You can't," Sarafina declared. Scar gave his mate a confused look. "I'm three weeks pregnant," she informed him.

"But that means..." Scar said trailing off when he realized Sarafina was pregnant by her rapist.

"I know," Sarafina said breaking down once again.

"Sarafina please," Scar said gently. "Calm yourself. It isn't good for our cub."

"Wait," Sarafina sniffled. "Did you say our cub? But Scar it isn't..."

"I'm well aware of who the father is," Scar said trying not to growl. "But I don't care. That child is mine as far as I'm concerned. End of discussion."

"But.." Sarafina began.

"I said end of discussion," Scar said. Without another word Sarafina nuzzled her mate and the two of them went off to inform the Pride of the good news.

A/N I hope you all don't mind that I'm making Nala be the result of rape. But don't worry Sarafina will treat her daughter right. I hope you love this chapter. Please review.
