VITANI

"I see them coming!" I looked up to see Limpo, she was returning with Tishala. They had gone to check the perimeter for any signs of Nuka of this loyal guard dogs. they hadn't been done long either, I remember sending them out only a few moments ago. or, what I think was a few moments ago. My head still isn't right yet. I've managed to calm my nausea and my head had finally stopped spinning.

But now, I was getting hit with the feeling of Deja-vu, or worse confusion. To be honest, I feel like shit in every way possible in every sense of the word. Sarafina and the other lionesses have done nothing more but stay by my side, and help guide me through what to do. Apparently, they have done this before, with my father of course. Hell, if I had stayed at priderock any longer I might have helped them with overthrow him. I guess it would be my luck that I wouldn't be there. " Thank you Limpo." voiced Sarafina, she then turned and look back towards me. A part of my new-gained confidence had fallen into the depth in the pit of my empty stomach " He'll be here any moment Vitani."

I know, I know...kings, I need to get it together. The entire time Sarafina and the other lionesses were briefing me on every best possible option. I'd zone out, or think of Roho. I knew what they were saying was important, hell dyer but I couldn't focus. My mind was racing at 100mph, and there was nothing I could do to stop it. if I did try to, then I get the feeling of being sick again.

I was already laying down. Sarafina told me the best thing I could do was be still. But laying down didn't help me with much of anything. "No sign of Nala? my son...the others yet?" i asked as I struggled to get up.

"No Vitani, just three hyenas coming down the path towards the den. They were moving pretty fast too, your brother is right behind them... they should to be here soon." No sign of them...my breathing started to shallow as i felt water building up behind my eyes. I couldn't do this. all i could think about was my son...and if everything were to happen to him, kings. i...i can;t think about it.

" Stay focused Vitani, i know they are fine. if Nala still out there with him, he's safe-"

"You don't know that." I cut her off. I didn't need to look to know Sarafina was speaking to me. Trying to keep me sane was doing nothing but piss me off. It was becoming harder for me to keep this fake composure that I was forced to have." You should have let me gone after him..." I didn't hide the venom in my voice. I wanted her to know that if this all went south, it would be her fault. My son's life would be on her paws. and everyone would be fending for themselves.

"I let you go after him and then what? Do you die recusing him? leaving him alone again, you need to think Vitani. your life is more than just you and your son." I cured at her under my tongue, she was right...no matter how I tried to spin it in my head. then its the question of everyone else, do I really have to heart to just leave them? I'm not my brother, nor my mother. I'm not that blind were I can't recognize right and wrong. "Vitani the best thing you can do for your son right now is to stay alive. by any means."

whoop whoop!

A sense of panic filled my den, as the approaching hyenas came into fruition. As they stepped into the den I could smell blood in the air. By the way they were proudly walking, I could tell that was my lionesses blood. The red crimson drenched them at the tip of their muzzles all the way down to their stomachs. My mind couldn't help but think that that could easily be my son's blood on their fur.

We all stood at a standstill until Nuka came into he den. He came limping into the den. He was no better off than me. if I had to, I know I could take him, and still. I doubt his hyenas would even let me get within a paws reach of him.

"Impressive, I wasn't expecting to see you conscious, let alone standing, Vitani." Please who the hell did this lion think he was. God? the way he looked at me, all, belittling. it made it furious. I would kill to knock that smirk off his face.

"Save it Nuka."

"Hmm I guess you're right. What's the point in ice breaker right?" I watched him turned and nodded his head to one hyena that stood just in the background. He disappeared with a quickness. only to return a few moments later. He had chucked a part of Ama's dismembered body onto the ground, pieces of Alix's followed soon after. "As you can see, we had a little incident with your lionesses."

I bit my tongue until I tasted blood. He was fighting for a reaction from me. The chaos of everyone else behind me was none of his concern. If anything it made him giddy on the inside. "you did this...to my lionesses."

"I really didn't want to, sis. It wasn't an intention at all. but they attacked me, so I had to define myself." I felt my heart starting to race as I looked at their dismembered bodies. They had no respect my brother had no fucking respect...blood boiling I was starting to see red. I took a step forward, baring my teeth. fuck it. if I couldn't make him pay, I was at least going to try. but as soon as I started to storm towards my brother, I felt someone pull me back. Sarafina,

i could read the expression of her face clear as day. 'think about this' fuck fuck fuck! why must I be the one to think about! if anyone took two damn seconds to think about it they'd know I have every single right to kill my brother right where he stands! he took my mate, my son...my pride. He's taken everything away from me! yet I hv=ave to be the better lion in this situation. it wasn't fair...it wasn't right! He didn't deserve a god damn thing being taken easy on him! " I should KILL you right now."

"Yea, you should, but you can't really, can you?" Nuka then stepped out away from his hyena " Look, you know what I want Vitani. YOU have the power to make this as peaceful or as deadly as you want."

" How dare you!" I was going to kill him, i was going to snap and kill him.

"You're down four lionesses-"

'That doesn't mean a thing! we can all still take you!"

"hmp, but I have your son." wait no...i was caught off guard, not knowing what to say or do. he was lying he had to be I know it. I know Nala getting let him get my baby. she promised me... I felt a state of panic start to seize my lungs.

"He's bluffing, he's bluffing Vitani." I felt Sarafina step froward beside me, as I felt my ground beneath me become unstable.

"I could be, then again, I could not. is that something you really want to chance? " I kept telling myself to breathe, breathe, breathe "These two lionesses meant nothing to me. so having my hyenas rip them to shreds severed no real purpose for me. although I can say my hyenas thoroughly enjoyed themselves. then there was the lioness that betrayed you... that lioness...what was her name, Shanti! yes Shanti, well...she was sadly taken down. and then, of course, you know I have a fond spot for Nala so her punishment will be more...intimate if you will."

"Bastard..." Sarafina growled, clinging her teeth. As she, and every one stood at a standstill. waiting for the other side to slip up. I had no choice but to weight my options. and when I thought of the only possible solution I turned to Sarafina.

"... I have to give it to him..." I voiced so that only she could hear me. By the way Sarafina snapped her head, she wasn;t expecting that answer.

"what?"

"... I have to...it's the only way."

"He doesn't have your son Vitani nor my daughter."

"How the fuck can you be so sure! He's just killed two of my lionesses in cold blood. he's killed my mate...he turned one of my best lioness against me, he could very well have my son and Nala right now. if I do something to piss him of...it could be over for both of them. I'm not risking it-"

"You can't give up your throne, these lionesses are following you! we will follow you."

"What fucking throne?! Don't you get it...everything is done for! My secrets out...and IF they do follow me they will be following me to a grave! And so will you all. So what if we fight him and win, why of your lionesses are too old or arent in fighting condition. You'd rather die after a bloody battler with NO winner. I thought you said I had to look out for others besides myself and my son. so im doing it, the best way I know-how! I have to do this." Sarafina held her tongue. and I now know like any mother, she's going to think of what she can do to save her daughter.

"Vitani... I don't want you to sacrifice yourself... I know what can happen when you do." I felt the hurt in her voice and saw the tears build in her eyes. The bickering between Sarafina and I started to gather more attention.

"Aw, ladies I would love to know what the big conversation is about. So Vitani what will it be?" I swallowed hard, I truly with all my heart did not what to do this. everything was finally starting to look up for me here, I was happy...and now I can only think of how I've lost it. tears fell from my face, as I began to utter the words...but know I am doing the best thing I can right now. as selfish or selfless as it may seem. I know my brother he'll keep me and everyone else around if we follow his rules. That's all he wants...to think that he is in control.

"I...Q-queen Vitani...am surrendering my throne to you..Nuka."

*man working these night shifts and still working in the daytime is a killer, I hope you enjoyed the chapter and I'll be back soon.

RyanSquad, haha honesty, I feel that two 2 hour movies should be about right for part 1 and for part 2.
