Enjoy chapter sixteen!
The moon was high in the night sky surrounded by dozens of tiny stars.
In a cave under Priderock alot of commotion was going on. The ex-queen, Hewa had went into labor. The pale beige lioness prayed that her new cub would be a female.
Inside the cave was Dwala and Amani. Apate and Kavela was hunting with the queen and oldest princess.
While Hewa gritted her teeth and began to push, Mufasa stood outside as Nala sat not far.
"I'm sure she will be fine. She's a strong lioness." Nala tried to help.
Mufasa was pacing, worry filled his amber eyes. Nala sighed deeply, before looking back at the cave.
The sun had just started to spread her golden finger tips across the land when Dwala and Amani walked out with smiles.
Mufasa was about to enter but was stopped by the king and his queen.
Mufasa snarled before following with Nala at his red tail tuff. In the back of the cave laid Hewa with a small bundle of fur in her arms.
"Ah. I see you and my brother has been busy. No?"
Hewa ignored the reddish-brown lion as Mufasa snarled. Scar chuckled before looking at the cub.
"What sex is it?"
"Her name is Sarabi." Hewa sneered, her orange eyes burning with undying hate.
Scar looked at the cub again. "Pity. My hyenas were dying for cub meat."
Mufasa and Hewa growled while Nala stared at her parents in disbelief and disgust.
After the king and queen left Nala looked at the new cub. Sarabi was dark beige. But she had her mother's nose and brown earrims.
A snarl made the tawny princess snap out of her thoughts. She looked at the source and seen Hewa snarling and growling at her.
"Stay away from my cub, monster!"
Nala was taken back but slowly backed out of the cave before turning and walking away. Mufasa looked from the retreating young lioness to his mate with a disgusted glare.
"I am a shamed of you."
Hewa watched in disbelief as her mate left the cave as well as her and their daughter.
...X...
A young adult Sherise stretched before walking out of the training field. She walked up to the water hole to quenched her throat. As the dark brown lioness lapped up the cool liquid, her ears twitched at the sound of someone stepping on grass. A smirk formed, as she lifted her head.
"I know your there, Jesús."
A bit older reddish-brown, black maned lion walked over out of some bushes. "On cue as always."
Sherise smiled before receiving a nuzzle from the lion. And gladly returned the affection.
"I can't wait to be your mate." Jesús whispered in Sherise's ear.
Sherise licked Jesùs cheek. "In due time."
...
Scar stood at the peak of Priderock and roared. The pride gathered to watched the four young lionesses off for their first hunt.
Dwala, stood by her daughter, as Apate stood by Zahra and Sarafina stood by Zira and Nala.
"Today is the day that the young lionesses and my daughters go out on their first hunt. Need I remind you four, no catch do not return."
Zira smirked at her sister. "Everyone knows that will be you."
Nala glared at her sister before Scar roared again causing the four lionesses to run down the stoned slope and into the savannah to begin their hunt.
After everyone went to their own business Sarafina went to her mate's trusted hyenas.
"Shenzi!" the creamy lioness growled.
Shenzi looked from her brother and babbling mate to the queen. "Yes. Your highness?"
"I need you and your crew to rid of someone."
Banazi looked at the queen hard. "And who would that be?"
Sarafina snarled. "Is it a yes or no?"
Shenzi looked at her mate and brother who shrugged. With a sigh the female hyena turned back to the queen. "We're as loyal to you as the king."
Sarafina smiled evily. "Good."
