Time to finally rejoin some old characters that we know and love. And we'll also find out what happens to Kiara (kind of). Enjoy.

Chapter 14

Kion

Up until a minute ago I was busy guarding the three hyenas, Shenzi, Banzai and Ed down in the lower cave. But just now I got news that Kiara and Kovu have returned. It's about time to. We need them right now. But I didn't hear anything about Leela, which is worrying. I'm heading up to Pride rock's ledge now to see them. Vitani was the one who told me about them since she was the first to see them come back. I've also not heard any cries of celebration from upstairs which is also worrying. I mean, I wasn't expecting to hear a load of 'whoopedy doo's' or anything but I would expect to hear at least some kind of cheers. Has something bad happened to Kovu and my sister? Dear god I hope not.

I see Rafiki heading up to Pride rock ahead of me. He has some of his medical items with him. Does that mean one of them is hurt?

"Oh, Kiara. What have you gone and gotten yourself into now?" I mutter to myself.

Kiara may have been a bit annoying as a big sister over the years, although so was I to her, but I still care for her. Just like I cared about Fuli, Bunga and the rest of the Lion Guard all those years ago. I still have nightmares about their deaths to this day. That rock fall caused by Jenvl in the canyon.

My sidetracking is stopped when I hear voices from above me, on the ledge of Pride rock.

"Kiara!" Kovu calls to Kiara in a desperate way.

"Dis does not look good I'm afraid." Rafiki says.

Not good? Not good! What's happened to her? I have to find out immediately.

I pick up the pace but am halted soon after by something I see out in the distance, across the Pridelands. I see something in the sky. Something big, huge, and it's moving. Moving towards us. What is it? Whatever it is, it doesn't look friendly. I race off up the steps of Pride rock. I have to warn the others. And see what's happened to my sister.

Vitani

I can't believe what I'm seeing here. Kiara is dying in front of me. It's horrible to watch. By now a number of pride members have gathered to see what's going on. Tiifu and Zuri are here (Now that Zuri has recovered from being smacked by Shenzi last night), Maisha is crying next to Mpenzi across from me, Rafiki has come to assess Kiara, Kovu is by her side, and I'm here to. Zazu flies down to inspect the situation and Timon and Pumbaa turn up soon after.

"Is her majesty going to be OK?" Zazu asks.

Rafiki doesn't give an answer as he continues to examine Kiara.

Kion appears next to Kovu, rather quickly, looking like he's got something to tell us all. But despite how important it is he still stays silent while this is going on. I can tell what my brother is thinking right now. I mean, it's kind of obvious but he does make an attempt to at least appear less mournful than I know he is right now.

It seems like nothing is going to happen, until Kiara stirs...

Kiara

I hear the voices of Kovu and Rafiki very close to me. Right beside me in fact. I must be back in reality, at long last. But I'm in pain, although it's starting to die down it still hurts.

I open my eyes the best I can in my weak state.

And so we draw even closer to the final chapter of this story. Chapter 15 will wrap this one up and that will be up in a couple of days.
