Chapter 12: Long live the king

It is the next day since I have visited the shadowlands with my nephew and my best friend, Nala. I was peacefully sleeping when I felt myself being woken up. "Lana, wake up. We need to talk" A voice said. I woke up and saw my dad, Ahadi sitting beside my bed. "Dad?" I said. "Come to the cave, Lana. We need to talk" Ahadi said. "About what?" I said. "Just come to the cave" Ahadi said.

Ahadi sounded annoyed when he said that. "Get dressed quick then come" Ahadi said. Ahadi then left my room. I got up and got my Black Widow shirt on and my red leggings on. After I got dressed, I walked outside and I walked into the cave where I saw my dad, Ahadi, my mom Uru, and my brother, Mufasa waiting for me. "Sit down Lana" Ahadi said. I did as he said and I sat down. I felt uncomfortable.

"We heard that you have gone into the shadowlands Lana like you were not supposed to" Ahadi said. "Yeah" I said with a sigh. "You know your not supposed to go to the shadowlands Lana, that's out of the borders" Uru said. "I know, mom" I said. "You shouldn't go to places where you are not allowed to go to" Uru said. "I know" I said. "We know Mufasa has already talked to us Lana, but you do need some type of punishment to make sure this doesn't happen again.

You are grounded for a few days. that means no technology and no going into the town for a few days. I hope you learned from this" Ahadi said. I said nothing and sighed. "Yes, dad" I said. With that, Ahadi walked out of the cave. "Hey Lana, I'm gonna go on patrol, do you wanna come with?" Mufasa said. "Yeah...I guess" I said. Mufasa and I then went out of the cave so we can do our patrol.

Zazu also went with us. It stayed silent for a while as we were walking along the pride lands. "Oh look, sire, the heard is on the move" Zazu said. "Odd" Mufasa said. Just then, our brother, Scar ran up to us. He looked panicked and he was out of breath. "Mufasa, Lana, stamped in the gorage! Simba's down there!" Scar shouted.

"What?" I said. "Simba?" Mufasa said. "Zazu, take Lana home and warn the pride of what's going on" Mufasa said. "But Mufasa!" I said. "No Lana, you are to go home" Mufasa said. Mufasa and Scar then sprinted to the cliffs. I then looked at Zazu. "Get the pride, tell them what's happining" I said. "But young master, your supposed to come home with me, that's the king's orders" Zazu said.

"I'm going to help my brothers whether they like it or not. you can't stop me" I said. "Okay, you win. just be carful" Zazu said. "Carful is when you get hurt!" I shouted as I sprinted towards the gorge. I continued sprinting until I found my brothers in the gorge and franticly looking for Simba. I slid down the cliff carefully. "Lana, what are you doing? Your supposed to be at home with the pride" Mufasa said. "I'm gonna look for Simba!" I shouted.

When I got to the ground, I got knocked over by the stampede of wildebeests but I was able to get back up. When I got back up I scanned the gorge for Simba. I found Simba who was barely hanging on to the tree. I dodged the wildebeests and got to the tree where Simba was. I tancfuranced into my warframe and reached Simba. "Aunt Lana, help me!" Simba shouted. I reached my hand towards Simba.

"Simba, Take my hand!" I yelled over the noise. Simba was reaching for my hand but the tree was broken by the stampede and Simba went flying into the air. "Simba!" I cried with worry. Thankfully Mufasa caught Simba. Mufasa then ran up to me and he threw me onto his back. I held on tightly as Mufasa was running away from the stampede of the wildebeests. Mufasa was knocked down by a wildebeest and he accidentally dropped me and Simba.

I was forced to transference out of my warframe. I crawled up to Simba and grabbed him. Mufasa then picked me up by the scruff of my neck and he carried me and Simba to safety. Mufasa gently set me and Simba down on a ledge. "Make sure Simba stays safe" Mufasa said. "I will" I said with a few tears in my eyes. Mufasa was then grabbed by the wildebeests and he was dragged into the stampede. "Dad!" Simba cried.

"Mufasa!" I cried. Simba and I franticly scanned the gorge for Mufasa. We then saw Mufasa who flung himself on the cliff and held on tightly. My heart was pounding fast. Simba and I watched Mufasa climb up the cliff. Simba was climbing up the rocks. "Simba!" I called. I followed Simba on the rocks he was climbing. We reached a higher ledge.

We could see Mufasa climbing up the cliff higher. Mufasa reached the top of the cliff and he reached Scar. Scar had his eyes with hatred in his eyes. "Scar, brother, help me" Mufasa said. Scar said nothing and looked at him with hatred. Scar then grabbed Mufasa's paws and Mufasa roared with pain. I gasped with fear.

I feared for the worst. Scar leaned into Mufasa's ear and whispered..."Long live the king" with that, Scar threw Mufasa off the cliff. Simba and I watched with horror as Mufasa fell off the cliff. "NO!" Simba and I screamed as we watched my brother falling off the cliff. Then, everything was silent. dead silent. Simba and I climbed down the rocks and we went into the gorege. "Dad?" Simba called.

I trancefurranced out of Octavia and helped Simba look for Mufasa. "Mufasa?!" I called. I then heard footsteps. "Dad?" Simba said hopefully. Our disappointment was that it was only a wildebeest. When the fog cleared up, Simba and I took a better look. We saw Mufasa laying lifeless on the ground. "Dad?" Simba said. We walked up to Mufasa. "Dad?" Simba said. "Dad, come on, wake up" Simba said. "We gotta go home" Simba said.

Simba pulled on Mufasa's ear to try to get him to wake up but nothing has happened. I bend down to Mufasa. Simba ran into the gorege. "Help! Somebody! Anybody!" Simba called. I shook Mufasa to wake him up. "Come on Mufasa, wake up" I said with some tears streaming down my face. "Please Mufasa, wake up. we gotta get home" I said.

more tears were streaming down my face and I was sobbing. Simba walked back up to me and Mufasa and laid down next to Mufasa. I buried my head into his mane and continued to cry. Simba had silent tears streaming down his face. I then saw a shadow. I looked up and saw my brother, Scar walking up to us. "Simba, Lana, what have you done?" Scar said. "The wildebeests and he tried to save me...it was an accident, I didn't mean for it to happen" Simba said as he was sobbing.

"Of course, of course, you didn't. no one...ever means for these things to happen" Scar said as he pulled Simba close to him. "But the king is dead" Scar said. Simba and I gasped. Mufasa is dead. "If it weren't for you he'd still be alive" Scar said. I glared at Scar. Scar did this, not Simba. He was blaming Simba for Mufasa's death. "Oh, what will your mother think?" Scar said. "What am I gonna do?" Simba said as he was sobbing.

"Run. Runaway Simba. Runaway and never return" Scar said. Simba said nothing and ran away. I glared at Scar. Scar then looked at the hyenas. "Kill him" Scar ordered. I glared at Scar and the hyenas chased after Simba as he was running. "What the hell are you doing, Scar?! Why did you kill our brother?!" I shouted. Scar said nothing and smirked at me. he patted me on my shoulder and said, "Don't worry sis, I'll explain everything when we get back to pride rock" Scar said.

"You better" I said. "Let's go back to pride rock now, shall we?" Scar said with his evil smirk. "Fine..." I said. I then went up to my brother and gave him one more hug. "Goodbye Mufasa, I love you" I said. "Come, Lana!" Scar called. I stood up and followed Scar.

With that, we walked back to pride rock.
