Jason Chandler, I appreciate the review. As for Tama and Zira's plan, nothing good.
I'm not sure who the song is by but it's from Balto II. Enjoy.
A dark tawny she-cub rolled her brown eyes as she watched her older brother be chased by their best friend. "Idiot."
A juvenile laugh caused the dark tawny cub to groan before ducking down as a golden cub flew over her head. She sat up and fixed the small dark tawny fur on her head before looking at her attacker with a raised brownish eye brow.
"For someone who's mother is the head huntress. You're pretty lousy at it."
The golden cub shook his head to rid of the leaves and twigs before glaring at the cub on the ledge with bright green eyes. "Haha. Very funny Amanda."
"I'm going to get you Jesús!"
Amanda and her golden friend looked to see Sherise pounce on the retreating caramel-brown cub. Sending them rolling down a hill. To end up with the seven year old caramel-brown cub on his back with Sherise on him and their noses pressed together. Sherise fluttered her eye lashes bashfully before stepping back to let Jesús up.
A low whistle made Sherise snap her dark purple eyes towards the three year old golden cub.
"Shut it, Kopa!"
Kopa and Jesús laughed before running off towards priderock at the growl from the older cub. Sherise and Amanda glared at the retreating males before running after them.
...
Night has claimed the Pridelands, on the peak sat Elara, Kovu and Sherise. The three were stargazing and Sherise spotted a lion roaring.
"Hey, look! That one looks like a lion roaring."
Elara pinned her ears as a bad memory resurfaced. She looked up at the dark blue sky and quietly wondered where Scar was.
"Mom?"
Elara shook her head before looking at her son. "Yes, Kovu?"
Kovu yawned along with Sherise as they cuddled up into Elara's chest. "Can you sing us a lullaby?"
Elara smiled lovingly at her cubs before giving them both nuzzles and started to purr as she sung softly and sweetly,
"Somebody wants you,
Somebody needs you,
Somebody is searching for your heart
Someone is dreaming,
Waiting and is coming to take you home..."
Kovu and Sherise yawned before snuggling up against one another.
"Time, it will fly like the sun through the sky.
And what once was hello turns to goodbye.
Tomorrow is here now,
Sings in your ear of my heart,
Your life is your own.
Never you fear, now,
Your path is clear now.
Some one who loves you,
Some one who loves you is taking you home."
Elara smiled at her sleeping cubs. Kovu slept with his head on Sherise's back as Sherise slept with her head on her brother's dusty brown colour paws. Elara laid her head down besides her cubs and joined them in slumber. Not aware of the drastic events happening the next day.
BTBW
"Come on on Sherise, I'll race you to the watering hole!" shouted Kopa as he ran ahead of the dark brown she-cub.
Sherise shook her head, "Please tell me why you dragged me along?"
Kopa laughed. "One because you love me and two every one is busy. Kovu and Jesús is busy with my dad and Uncle Mheetu. Amanda is with Auntie Kala for the day."
Sherise rolled her eyes before picking up speed and the race was on. Once at the water hole Sherise and Kopa took a moment to catch their breathes. As Sherise was drinking her ears perked.
"Kopa, did you here that?"
Kopa lifted his head and shook it before going back to drink.
"Kopa, come on. Something don't feel right." cried Sherise before running in a bush.
"Sherise, come on, there's nothing you should be afraid of when I'm around." Kopa boosted while puffing out his yellow chest.
"How wrong you are you little brat!" a sicking laugh echoed through the air.
"Who's there?" Kopa didn't get a response and it didn't feel right to the future king. "This isn't funny!"
A dark laugh erupted through the air before Zira made herself known. "Why so spooked?"
Kopa knew that this lioness was family, his cousin to be exact. But that didn't ease the feeling that something wasn't right. His feelings was confirmed when a bunch of unknown snarling and growling lionesses appeared from the tall grasses behind the pale tan lioness. To small to fight, so flight. With a a sharp turn Kopa bolted through the plains.
"Get him but don't kill him! He's mine!" Zira snarled before running after the Prince with her followers.
Kopa ran as fast as his legs would run. His throat started to tighten as his lungs began to burn. He could feel the pads of his paws scrape and tare as they pounded against the hard ground. He knows it's life or death but he could feel the adrenaline leave his system as his body began to shut down from exhaustion. He didn't know where to run but knew he had to hide somewhere. But unfortunately as a new burst of energy and adrenaline ran through his veins the golden cub felt himself being lifted off the ground.
"Let me go!"
Zira chuckled darkly before she growled and tossed Kopa. The cub flew through the air before landing hard and tumbled across the dusty ground. Zira avanched as her followers surrounded the area, the pale tan lioness snarled before striking the young cub, sending him rolling before he stopped in a cloud of dust. Kopa looked up with a busted lip and his right eye was shut as four claw marks ran down his face.
Zira laughed before she hit the cub again, her claws digging deep into Kopa's side. Kopa rolled through the dirt and glass, landing on his uninjured side with a moan. He could barely lift his head before Zira apporched, she walked up and gave the young prince a hard swipe. Kopa tumbled like a cart wheel before landing on his injured side, breathing heavily as blood stained his bright fur.
"For Father!"
With a deadly growl Zira struck Kopa sending the now unconscious prince over the edge of a cliff they were near and into the rushing river below.
...
Sherise gasped before covering her muzzle with her paws. Her dark purple eyes filled with tears as she was forced to listen to the pale tan lioness.
"On to our next plan. Father asked me to teach and raise my youngest siblings in his name. We will attack at nightfall."
Sherise's ears flattened as her eyes widened with more fresh tears falling down her face. After Zira left with her followers, Sherise quickly bolted out of her hidden spot and towards priderock.
