Chapter 25: Moving On?
Sarafina P.O.V.
I can't believe this. Abasi is on his way, Scar and Anuba planned all this!? Mansa and Asana are here to warn us, what else is going to happen?! I don't like the way Mansa is starring at my mate, like he wants to kill him and funny enough, that's the same look Cy is giving him.
"I think Sarafina is old enough to make her own decisions. She doesn't need you to hold her paw."
"You do realize that the last time I left you alone with her, she ended up losing herself and leaving her pride…I'll be damned if I let you even try to get that close again." Mansa started to laugh and I saw the real him again and I grew angry, but I said nothing for now. I was going to be a snake and plan my strike. I wouldn't let him get the best of me again. Cy on the other paw, yeaaaa, he's ready to fight.
"Didn't you just get married? Losing trust in her already?" Cy now began to chuckle and he stepped in front of me and squared off on my ex.
"Oh no, her I trust completely. It's YOU who I don't trust. Seems to me that you in fact need someone to hold your paw since you can't be left on your own, not so good ideas start to form and kings above help you, if someone with a brilliant idea comes along and presents a deal to you and you jump when they tell you how high." My aqua eyes widened as did Asana's and we all starred at Mansa, waiting for him to say something, but I think he was also in a state of shock. Cy's statement just summed up our lives from when Mansa and I left Pride Rock. It was a slap in the face and now that Mansa realized it, he grew angry and not even the Queen could stop him.
"Look! You have her now, be happy about it and move on!"
"I have and we have, but now that the problem has re-presented itself with us, I have a right to defend my territory." I laughed inside because I knew exactly what Cy meant and I wouldn't argue with him at all. We belonged to each other, we were one another's property.
"Territory huh? So, she's an object?"
"Ya know, Mansa, I could see how you would see it that way." Cy was smiling slyly now, and I was doing my best not to do an 'ooooo', but I kept the child in me down with a bite to my lip.
"Mansa, relax…" My mind now taking another direction, these two seemed to be close and I wondered just how much which is to why the conversation we were supposed to be having.
"He really does not want to push me…" My ex said lowly, but loud enough for Cy and I to hear and neither of us were worried.
"Oh I wish you would, I've got lot of harbored anger built up for you myself. Please, I want you to try me."
"Ok boys," Asana stepped between them, "We have to work together now to defeat my husband and keep your family safe." She was looking at me and I nodded my head agreeing with her. "So you two are going to have to push your differences aside and let's get this done." I smiled widely. She had come such a long way, I was proud of her. What had happened these past years since Nala and I left? And Mansa helped? I had to know!
"Asana! Where did all this spunk come from?!" She put her head down bashfully and couldn't help but be fond of her.
"Well, after the rest of your family left, Mansa was very…" We could tell she was searching for the right word or words to say, "he had a hard time dealing with it. It really did hurt him and does bother him that he messed up," her eyes met his, "even if he won't admit it to others." My children's father looked up to the skies, not wanting to admit to what was just said. I knew him very well too and I knew he was covering. Or was he?
"Well, I don't need to speak about it, seems like you'll tell all my secrets." His voice was playful and he smiled adoringly at the Mala Mala Pride Queen, but I grew a little jealous. I remembered when he used to look at me like that and speak to me so kindly. What does she have that don't? Why am I even feeling this way? Mansa and I are over and I could care less about what he does with his life, but why do I feel so rejected?
"Don't you two seem all comfy?" Their gaze broke when Mheetu's less then approved voice broke thru.
"Hello, son."
"Don't 'hello, son' me. What's going on with you two?" I observed my son's face and he was not at all happy right now. As of right now, he looks like his father and I know his temper is about to flare.
"We were getting to that…" The golden eyed lioness spoke shyly.
"Then let's get to it." I darted a seriously disapproving look towards my son.
"Mheetu! Hold your tongue! Asana hasn't done anything to you! Cool it!" My son was taken aback and I was even surprised to myself at how I went off on him. I shouldn't be taking my anger out on him. He has every right to be upset with his father, but he's not to take it out on her.
"Are you alright?" Cy whispered in my ear. I looked away, but nodded my head ashamed. Why was I acting like this? No, I don't still have feelings for Mansa, but seeing them together…like, she knows what I went thru and yet she's with him?
"She didn't do anything? That's rich! She's doing it right now! It's obvious she's with him!" My son was brave and rebellious to sing the words I thought of and it gave me the confidence to speak up when I got the chance.
"Sarafina, I know this is all a shock to you, but-" I jerked my head up to meet hers.
"A shock? Ha! That's putting it mildly, Asana. I mean, come on! You know what happened with us and you're with him?"
"Sarafina, he's changed!" She wasn't yelling or anything, just expressing, but I didn't care. I felt betrayed and hurt by her. How could she? I stood up for her so many times against her tyrant of a husband, and she does this to me. We were great friends! Told one another secrets and everything! How could she do this to me?!
"Sure." I had had enough and with that I walked away. I was not going to stand there a moment longer and be in the presence of traitors, back stabbers, and adulterers. I had too much of that back at that pride. I know I was supposed to get to the bottom of their little…whatever you want to call it. But as for now, I just wanted to be left alone.
"Sarafina, wait!" Oh, this chick here…
"Asana, I'm really trying to be nice, so please leave me alone." I hadn't looked at her, stopped walking, or anything, just yelled over my shoulder.
"You really don't understand. Let me explain." I stopped in my tracks and waited for her to catch up, but I whipped around to meet her face. Since she would not let me go in peace, I'll let her have it.
"Ya know, Asana, I thought we were friends! How could you do this to me?! To my children!?"
"Sarafina, we are friends! I promise! But can you really help who you fall for? You and I have very similar stories when it comes to that." She gave me a shy look and I couldn't help but comply. It was true, we both had fallen for the bad mates at one time. "Sara, he helped me gain my confidence back and it allowed me to stand up to Abasi and Hasani, which I'm going to strangle him when I see him." We shared a small laugh. It was nice to see this side of her and not the doormat one she's used to. "I didn't mean to fall, I really didn't and I always thought about you and what you would think because of the past, but sometimes,"
"Sometimes you have to put yourself first. I remember I told you that a long time ago…just didn't think you'd use it against me." She and I made eye contact and a sisterly connection sparked. It was hard for me to get mad at her for coming up in life. Shoot, with this new revelation, she has probably turned the Mala Mala Pride around.
"You do understand?"
"Yes, but I'm really not in good company right now to hear any details. I'm happy for you and that he's changed, but I still feel betrayed and I'm not going to hide that fact." I watched her as she hung her head, but I felt no remorse.
"I understand. You have to put yourself first."
"Yes." I walked away now, tears threatening to fall from my eyes, but I wouldn't let anyone see them except Cy, who I know would come find me shortly. I was honest with her and she was honest with me which I did respect her for that. But why my ex? Hmm? Why my family? I know my children are pissed, but I would talk with them later. I had to cool myself down first before even thought about giving them advice on how they should handle this, but that all depends on if they even care.
"If it means anything to you," aaaand she continues, "We haven't done anything or make it official." I responded over my shoulder.
"Good for you."
Nala P.O.V.
"Tama, you really need to relax." Tama was still up to her antics when it came to Maeva.
"Shut up, Tojo! I don't need anyone telling me what to do! I just can't believe you guys are allowing her to play you guys!"
"Then it'll come out when the time is right. We can handle ourselves." Tojo responded tiredly.
"And I'll be the one to handle her if she does!" I don't get why this girl is so hell bent on getting Maeva.
"You know I'm right here…" Tama darted her eyes at Maeva.
"Trust me, I'm doing my best to pretend you're not." The purple eyed lioness heaved a heavy sigh and looked away hopeless.
"Now you've hurt her feelings, T!" Kula abruptly shouted and went to Maeva's side.
"Seriously, Kula!? Who cares! When has she ever cared about any of us and our feelings, huh? She changed in ONE DAY? I don't think so."
"Tama, no one is perfect, but everyone deserves a second chance. Besides, she had to start changing beforehand or this day would have never come."
"Would you say the same thing about your father, Nala?" Not. Again!
"Tama!" Kula shouted at her friend and now I'd had it.
"This is different! And why does everyone keep bringing him up!?"
"Um, ex-excuse me, Nala," Malka raised his paw shyly, but I gave him the indication that he could finish, "T-Tama was the only one wh-who brought it up…" I rolled my eyes and his girlfriend's anger bounced from to him.
"I swear to the kings above if you don't shut up! I'm gonna stick my paw so far down your throat, you'll have claws coming out your ass!"
"C-c-can you do that? Like is it even possible?" The hair tufted lioness faced her partner aggressively. We all know that Malka does not have a stuttering problem, he was just being funny.
"You really wanna find out?"
"It would be intriguing…" Malka put an orange paw to his chin and looked up to the sky as if he was really contemplating this.
POW!
"OUCH! You need extensive therapy! You're so angry!" She had smacked him upside his head and he was continuously laughing. None of this fazed him and it just made that tingling question pop back up in my head: how did they ever get together…?
"And you need help in every aspect in life!" By now, this was comedy hour for us and we would enjoy every moment of it. If they actually stuck it out and got married, I think they would destroy one another haha.
"But you're one of my aspects in life, so you're admitting that you do indeed need help?" We watched Tama's jaw clench and her claws were going in and out of her paws…safe to say she was pissed. But I wonder if she was going to get back to me and Maeva…
"And I've been regretting that ever since."
"Then why are you still with me? Hmm, maybe because I'm just that good…" We all knew what he was referring to and the lot of us snickered. Malka was so bad, but he didn't care.
"You wish."
"That's not what you said la-"
"OH KAY! Aaaaand we're done with that convo!" Chumvi was the one to speak up and spare us the soon to be details because neither Tama nor Malka have boundaries. "Like, really. We would not be able to sleep ever again with the horrid images generating in our heads if you finished that sentence." We all shared a laugh, well, all of us except Tama. She was a pro at not laughing when she was feeling strongly about something and this just added to it.
"Oh come on, T. It was funny."
"You really think exploiting out love life to our friends is funny? Please explain that to me!"
"Wouldn't exploiting mean that someone else would have had to do it? Besides, they all know me so well, I knew someone would jump in."
"You're impossible." By now, the hair tuft lioness was shaking her head. "I don't even remember what we were talking about…" No one here was going to remind her because we all had calmed down.
"Aren't you ladies hunting today or is that tomorrow?"
"We're hunting tomorrow an-"
"Nala." I turned around and saw my brother walking over to us and he was not happy.
"What's wrong?"
"Did you know that Queen Asana and our father are together?" My stomach dropped. I had had an inkling, but I didn't want to believe it. She knew what we went thru with him and she's with him? I can only imagine how my mother is feeling right now, I feel like I can feel her right now and she's hurt… .again.
"I didn't want to believe it, but you just confirmed my suspicions. I can't even imagine how mom reacted…"
"Yea, she's not too happy. She's just ran off and we need to go find her.
"Isn't Cy with her?" I asked my brother.
"Yes, but she could probably use all of us right now."
"Wait, so the queen from your old pride is dating your father? After all he's done? She knows this?"
"Yes, brother, and it sucks. Mom has been put through enough and for Asana to do this to her…? I mean who does she think she is?!" My brother answered Tojo upset. He was just fuming and I couldn't blame him. I mean, haven't we been through enough? When it rains, it pours I guess.
"YOU HAD BETTER KEEP MY MOTHER'S NAME OUT OF YOUR MOUTH, MHEETU!" All of us turned to see Prince Hasani walking slowly towards us, but mostly at my brother.
"Don't test me, Playboy. I'll make you Pride Rock's personal throw rug." My friends snickered at my brother's insult, I however was trying figure everything out: Abasi is coming soon, his queen and my father are together, Maeva is trying to be nice because she's been abused, what is next?!
"I'm not afraid of you Prodigal Son. I've grown stronger in your absence." Mheetu grinned but growled at the same time,
"You really want to test that out?"
"Mheetu, no." We looked to our left and saw Aniya with Maisha under her, "You have a daughter who you need to be a good example to."
"I am. I'm teaching her how to put scumbags in their place and also defending herself."
"He's also her cousin thru me…so, no," she looked at him, "No matter how much he deserves it."
"I really don't get how everyone can protect animals like Maeva and Hasani after all the crap they've done?! Am I missing something here? Am I asleep?!" Tama is really getting on my vey last nerve!
"Shoot, Tama I'm with you!" I knew Mheetu would agree, but then again they're both the same.
"Hate cannot drive out hate! Only love can."
"Thanks, MLK!" Tama spat at Kula.
"Just know that I'm not afraid of you. I'll take you on any day."
"Well you'll just have to keep waiting, Riff Raff." Mheetu turned to me, "Let's go find mom." I nodded in agreement.
"We'll see you guys later." I glanced t everyone, but my eyes stayed on Simba and he was already walking towards me.
"You guys be careful and let us know if you need anything." I rubbed heads with him and thanked him.
"Um, you're not just going to leave us here with your friend are you?!" Simba and I separated and my golden lion rolled his eyes.
"Can it, T! No one is going to do anything to her."
"Then I'm outta here!" The fuming lioness started walking away, but she wasn't in the clear yet…
"Bye, Felicia!"
Kings above help Malka.
Mansa P.O.V.
Well that could have gone as expected. They still hate me and it's been a while. I guess I can't really complain, I still can't stand Cy and he's with my Sarafina. I still can't get over the fact that this happened. That I let it happen.
"Mansa, you doing alright?" I knew this lioness could read me like a book so there was no use in hiding from her.
"No, love I'm not." I hung my head. I felt so guilty for what I did. Why didn't I care about hurting them before?
"It's going to be ok. They'll have to come around eventually because we're all fighting for the same thing."
"I know, but it'll just be for this fight. After it's over, they'll go right back to hating me and I still won't be able to forgive myself. I miss my family." I was on the verge of tears. This pain my heart was not going away at all.
"I know how you feel, Mansa. I wish mine wasn't as dysfunctional as it is. I miss the old days. Abasi was so caring and loving, especially when Hasani was on the way. A part of me will always love him just like a part of you will always love Sarafina." I looked up at her in disbelief. She knew I still loved Sarafina? How? I mean, I don't love her as much as I did, but feelings are still there for her. I loved seeing her smiling face and the way her eyes would light up when I would tell her I loved her. I killed that. I took that away from myself. "I've known Mansa and I understand. I can't hate you for that. You never forget your first love." She rubbed her head against mine and let a purr escape.
"So it's true!" Asana and I faced forward and saw her son. Round 2.
"Well, hello, Hasani. You finally decided to show your face."
"Don't play games, Mom! You and this guy!? How dare you cheat on Dad!" Asana felt me stand, getting ready to knock this kid out, but she gently pushed me back and walked towards her son.
"I haven't cheated, first off. Second, I am your mother and you will not talk to me like that anymore." Hasani was in mock shock and I smiled, patiently waiting for her to go off.
"Really? Because this here looks like cheating. You can't call Dad out on something that you're doing too. Hypocrite." Strike 2 kid.
"Even if I did cheat," now she was laughing, "Your father deserved it."
"So two wrongs make a right. Ah ok. I see now."
"You really want to keep going?"
"You challenging me, Mom?"
"Only dumb children challenge their parents…are you dumb?"
"Well…"
"Shut up, Mansa."
"Mom, you know I can take you! I've done it before! You're a female. A girl. I'm bigger than you!"
"Haven't you learned by now boy that size is no guarantee of power?"
"You need to not to talk to me at all." At this, Asana lunged for her son and tackled him to the ground. My eyes had grown wide and I was torn whether or not I should do something. When they stopped rolling, Asana had ended up on Hasani's back and had him in a chokehold.
"Mom! Let go!" The prince was clawing the ground trying to get away, but I know she wasn't holding onto him that hard, he's known for being dramatic.
"Hey, Asana…" She shot me a look when I was getting ready to plead with her, but I shut my mouth.
"Mom, please let go! I don't want to die!"
"What did you call me?"
"Mom!"
"That's right! I am YOUR MOTHER! You will respect me and your elders, Son. I'm not taking any more crap from you or your father. You got me?"
"Yes! Now please let go!" My friend got off of him and then got in his face.
"I don't want to have this conversation again, understand?"
"Yes, Mama."
"Now go." The younger lion tucked his tail between his legs and galloped away. After about a minute of watching him run away, she turned back to me with a smile on her face, but it quickly changed when she saw my expression. "What?"
"Nothin."
"What, Mansa?"
"I'm not saying anything."
"Why not?" Her eyebrows increased as the irritation slowly made its way to her face.
"I don't want to be put in a chokehold. I'll keep my countenance to myself."
"Oh come on, Mansa. I wasn't that bad."
"Look out for the quiet ones." By now I was laughing and she was doing her best not to.
"What was I supposed to do?"
"Not have attempted murder on your record."
"Attempted murder!? It wasn't that bad!" I rolled on my side in a fit of laugher. If we did indeed decide to make this a real thing between us, she's going to keep me on my toes.
"I saw him clawing at the ground trying to get away…"
"You know my son is a drama king."
"And there's your sign."
"Mansa, come on!"
Scar P.O.V.
Laying here in this den reminds me of home…not doing a darn thing and I love it. Having everyone do the work for me, yea, it's great. Mmm, speaking of work related subjects, I wonder how my dear old Zira is doing. She's probably due any day now, maybe I'll send her a message after my nap, even if I already had one. But, the annoying flutter of wings would keep me up a while longer.
"What is it Bazu?"
"Well, Scar, I came to see if you wanted me to check on Zira for you. She's probably had the cub by now, Sir." How closely was this bird paying attention? And how did he know about Zira and I?
"Why does this concern you?"
"I just thought that you wanted to know her progress, Sire. She is having your cub." I sat up now and started to sharpen my already extended claws on the rock.
"Bazu?"
"Sir?"
"How much do you value your life?"
"Pardon?" I swiped at him and he duck so far down, he was now lying flat on his belly.
"Do not tell me what I should and should not do, bird. I run my life and no one elses. Zira made that choice. I didn't force her to do anything she didn't want to." I was going to keep taunting him, but decided against it. I watched him closely as he got us.
"My apologies, Sire. Did not mean to pry-"
"And yet you did. But you do have a point. Go and check on her and do your best not to be seen or Zazu will be another sibling less."
"Yes, Sir." I don't know why I just can't be left alone. I don't bother anyone and there's so much I want, but I haven't kille-hmm, have killed to get what I want, but not recently. What would Zira want from me if she survived childbirth? I'm certainly not going to take care of it, I mean come on. Me? A father? That's a horrible joke in itself. I'll just wait for the news from my 'feathered friend' and make my decision to dispose of her or just disown her. I know you all probably think I'm heartless, but oh what do you know. To have a child you didn't plan for? Noneless even wanting a child. I saw how the little prince fur ball when he was a baby and I wouldn't trade that chaos for anything. Annoying and bad. But there were times I was proud of him. The times that he showed anger or aggression, it was good for him to get it out. I would have turned him evil but my attempts to kill my brother were always foiled. This time, I would not fail!
Maeva P.O.V.
I really wish Nala could have taken me with her because when she and her brother left, no one really wanted to stay around. They had something to do: Kula and Chumvi went to hunt and Malka went to check on Tama after she stormed off. The ones that did stay, however, was Simba and Tojo.
"Just give Tama some time. You know how hotheaded she is."
"Yea, but she's right. I was horrible to all of you before and I can't tell you how sorry I am."
"Look, don't sweat it. As long as you're on the straight and narrow path now, we'll be fine." I missed hearing Simba's voice. He's always been the one to comfort people and make them feel wanted, maybe that's why he and Nala clicked so well.
"Thanks, Simba. Thanks, Tojo. One day at a time, huh?"
"Yep." At Simba's last word, I longed to speak with him again. Not to persuade him to be with me, but to truly let him know that I was sorry and that all I wanted was for us to be friend again.
"Simba, could talk to you…alone?" The boys exchanged looks and right then I knew it would be a no.
"Um, that's probably not a good idea right now. I just got back on good terms with Nala and we're doing great." I smiled genuinely.
"I understand. Another time when I've gained your trust." He gave me a shocked look and I nodded. "I get it, Simba and I'm not mad."
"Maybe you can speak with him and Nala when she gets back, just to cover your tracks." I agreed with Tojo.
"Good idea. I'll do that."
"So what do you guys want to do now?" Tojo asked.
"Well, we can go see what my mom is up to. It's getting dark and she'll have to catch my father up to speed what he gets here. Abasi will be here soon." As we made our way to Pride Rock, off in the distance we saw Hasani by himself and I felt a twinge of guilt. Should I go see if he's ok? I know I'm one of the last lions he wants to see, but both of our alpha personality parents are crazy. He look so alone and I know all too well how that feels.
"Should we go check on him?" The blue eyed lion voiced and Simba scrunched up his face.
"Naw, he's fine. He'd probably tell us to go somewhere anyways." As we continued to walk, I made a mental note to speak the outsider prince to see if he was ok. Right now, I had to get right with these guys and see what I could do to help.
"Mom? How's the planning going?" Most of the pride had been gathered around Sarabi and they all looked up at us.
"Everything is going well, Son, and I'm glad you're here. As of right now, we're trying to decide if we want you youth to fight." Wait? Why was this even a question? Of course we would!
"Um…why was this brought up? Of course we're fighting." See? I'm glad we were on the same page. He didn't have an attitude, it was rather quizzical.
"Because you're young and the future of our pride, that's why. This fight is to keep Nala and Sarafina here and let the others know we won't be pushed around."
"But, Msala, we need to practice our skills too. Because let's say something does happen to some of you if not all of you, where would that leave us? Defenseless because we weren't really taught how to fight. We need to train just like all of you. We're fighting." Sarabi and Msala exchanged glances, but they were…smiling? "What? What I say?"
"You passed the test!"
"Test? What test?"
"To stand up against your elders for a good reason and put your foot down. That's what you would have to do if something happened to your father. You would be making most of the decisions." The three of us were taken aback. He was being tested and didn't even know it.
"Well then…uh, let's get started."
