Chapter 14: Encountering Scar and the Hyenas
The next morning Amy was the first one to wake up. She sees Nala still sleeping. Amy gets up and stretches her body. Nala woke up too with a yawn and sees Amy awake.
"Morning" Amy said.
"Good morning Amy" Nala said.
"Nala there's something I have to tell you" Amy said.
"What is it Amy?" Nala asked.
"I know how we can save the Pridelands" Amy answered.
"How?" Nala asked.
"All we have to do is -"
"Nala!" Amy was cut off by the voice of an angry and demanding call, startling the lionesses.
"Oh no Scar, I have to go Amy, stay here, you can tell me your plan later" Nala said.
Amy nodded and hides in the den as the tan lioness left to see what Scar wants.
As she got into the king's den, Nala sees Scar chewing on a piece of bone. Scar looks up and sees her as a beautiful grown lioness.
"Nala, my how you have grown" Scar in interest.
"What is it your highness?" Nala asked.
"Well, as you can see I'm not loved that much from the heart, so I decided to have a queen to rule beside me, which is why I called you to become my queen" Scar smirked.
Nala's eyes widen, she would never be Scar's queen or mate, after the way he treated the pride and the pridelands. Nala disapproves this and turns him down.
"No" Nala said sternly.
"What?!" Scar said sternly.
"You heard me, no, I will never rule along with you, after what you've done to the pridelands, I would never marry someone who is irresponsible and careless" Nala glared at the orange brown lion.
"Hmph then you have only two choices either become my queen or leave the Pridelands" Scar said.
"You can't banish me" Nala said as she left without saying another word to Scar.
"Hmph you just wait and see Nala" Scar said and walked out of the den.
The brown orange lion sees the lionesses and hyenas sleeping, but then sees Nala going to the back of Priderock. Suspicious, Scar follows the tanned lioness. At the back of Priderock, Scar sees Nala going up to a small den.
"Amy you in there?" Nala asked.
"You can come out no one is out here" Nala said.
Amy comes out of the den. Scar was surprised to see a lioness with pink fur. Interested, Scar goes up to the lionesses. Amy saw Scar coming up.
"Uh Nala" Amy said in fright.
Nala turned around and gasped seeing Scar was here.
"Well, what do we have here?" Scar smirked evilly.
Nala quickly stands in front of Amy, protecting her.
"Why didn't you tell me we have a visitor" Scar looked at Amy with a evil grin.
"Don't hurt her Scar" Nala glared at him.
"Oh come now, she seems pretty young and tasty don't you think?" Scar asked evilly.
Just then Shenzi, Banzai, and Ed came to the scene.
"Hey Scar what are you doing here in the" Banzai asked but was cut off seeing Amy.
"Hey we got our self a snack" Banzai said evilly.
"Hmm she looks sweet and tasty to eat don't you think Banzai" Shenzi said evilly.
" Hmm I don't know how about you Ed?" Banzaid asked sarcastically to the other male hyena answering with gibberish.
Hearing this Amy becomes scared and starts to shutter in fear.
"Leave her alone" Nala said sternly.
"I'll leave her alone if you become my Queen Nala" Scar said.
"What?!" Nala said.
"It's your choice either become my Queen or that pink lioness will become the next meal" Scar said giving her two options.
Nala didn't had a choice. Sure she didn't want to be Scar's wife, but she didn't want Amy to get hurt.
"Fine, I'll be your Queen" Nala said in defeat.
Amy's eyes widen.
"No Nala don't do it!" Amy said.
"That's my Queen" Scar smirked.
"But first, don't hurt Amy" Nala said.
"Oh I would never" Scar said with an evil smile.
Scar and the hyenas left to go to the front of Priderock. Nala turns around and looks at Amy with a sad face.
"I'm really sorry Nala if I hadn't -" Amy was cut off by Nala.
"No I'm sorry Amy, I should have been aware of Scar and checked to see if no one followed me" Nala said with tears in her eyes.
Amy comes up to her and nuzzles her head on Nala's chest.
"Don't be hard on yourself Nala, that was very brave for what you've done for me, no one has ever sacrifice their self for me" Amy said in comfort.
"And I would always be there for you Nala and still help you find a way to save the Pridelands" Amy said.
"Oh and by the way what was your plan anyway?" Nala asked.
"My Plan was to leave the Pridelands and find help" Amy said.
"We can't stay here like sitting ducks, we have to help ourselves if Scar could't do anything about it" Amy explained.
"You have a point but I'm his Queen now" Nala said with her ears droop down.
"Don't worry Nala will find a way and I'll always be there for you" Amy said with a warm smile. Nala smiles back at her.
Just then the hyenas came to the back and comes up to Nala and Amy.
"Hey Nala, Scar wants to see you in his den" Banzai said.
"I have to go Amy" Nala said after she signed
"And you three, don't hurt her" Nala said with a stern look on her face.
"Whatever you say" Shenzi said sarcastically.
"I'll be right back Amy" Nala said.
Nala and the Hyenas left to go to the front while Amy stays in the back. Unknown to her, Scar was quietly sneaking up behind her. The male lion was then ready to pounce on her and take her down, but out of instinct Amy quickly dodges from the pounce.
"You!" Amy growled.
"Now young lioness don't get on the wrong paw here I was just practicing my hunting" Scar lied.
"Yeah right, you were trying to take me down!" Amy glared at the lion.
"Since you know already I guess I have no choice but to eat you" Scar said.
"Not on my watch!" Nala said as she quickly came in front of Amy and eye to eye with Scar.
"How could you Scar, you promised not to hurt her" Nala growled.
"Must have slipped my mind, I can't stop thinking about food and seeing this young lioness looks too tasty, makes me want to maul her" Scar said with an evil grin.
Amy gasped. Nala's eyes were full of anger.
"Then I am no longer your queen anymore!" Nala yelled in anger.
"Fine, I'll take down the pink lioness first" Scar said as he was about to pounce on Amy, Nala smacks Scar with her paw.
"Amy run!" Nala said but Amy refused.
"No I can't leave you" Amy said.
"Just go!" Nala said.
Amy was about to leave when all of a sudden, the hyenas jumped in front of her.
"You're not going anywhere pinkie" Banzai said.
Amy's eyes her now full of rage.
"Don't call me Pinkie!" Amy yelled and smacked the male hyena.
Amy quickly dodges Shenzi and Ed's attack, and manage to smack them again with her paw. Amy looked back and gasped seeing Scar pinning Nala down.
"Leave her alone!" Amy yelled and ran up to smack Scar off of Amy.
"Come on Nala" Amy said as Nala got up on all fours.
The lionesses ran and were about to leave priderock, but were blocked and surrounded by all the hyenas.
"Oh no, what do we do!?" Amy said.
"Stay close to me Amy, we'll fight our way " Nala said.
Just then the lionesses came and attacked the hyenas to get away from Nala and Amy.
"Nala, Amy go!" Sarafina yelled as she smacked a hyena.
"But mom" Nala said but was cut off by her mother again.
"Go now, we'll be fine" Sarafina said.
"Come on Nala" Amy said.
The two lionesses ran away from Priderock and ran as far as they could.
