NALA

I could feel my empty stomach, begging me for food. I hate to tell my stomach that I'm not leaving this spot. I've stayed inside away from everyone all day. Panicking and almost drowning, take a toll on you. Kings, I can't believe that happened. If Simba wasn't there i'd probably be dead right now. Please, what am I saying, it's because of him that I freaked out! this is all his fault... Him and his stupid ass ugh!

I can't wait here and get better I have to leave now-

"Auntie, are you coming to dinner?" I looked up to see Roho standing in front of me. I could see the concern in his little eyes. I'd been avoiding him and the others all-day. I don't have it in me to fake it anymore.

"No, not today," I replied. placing my head back down on my paws.

"But you didn't come this morning to eat?"

"I wasn't hungry."

" Are you sure?" Please, the last thing I needed was for a cub to be worried about me! Why can't he see that I just want to be alone? "Maybe you should-"

"Roho, please! I'm not going to, I just want to be left alone-you just go without me okay?" he didn't say anything after that. Roho turned away and left for the outside. As soon as he was out of sight I felt like shit. "Dammit, Nala..." I knew shouldn't have talked to him like that. He was just trying to look out for me. Fuck. immediately I felt my body get up -with my brain telling it what to do. I knew I had to go after him and apologize. he's too sweet for me to be taking out my frustration on him.

His mother would kill me.

I got a few steps away from the den, without my bind on my left shoulder. Sadly I had to stop, and not for the reasons I wanted. A very unwanted lion was standing a few feet away from me. Great.

"Nal-" I started to turn around before I would even allow myself to listen to another word that came out of his mouth. Just looking at him filled me with nothing but rage. I can't explain it and why I care so much is killing me! I shoudln't give a damn about him, because he clearly doesn't about me! He just saved me so my death wouldn't be on his paws... "Nala wait!"

"Save it." I voiced, limping away. It only took him, three long strides until he was walking by my side. what a pain in my tail.

"I came to talk." where have I heard that before?

"well, I'm not here to listen."

"Will you stop being so cold to me?"

"I think I have some rights too."

"If that's the case we can both play that game." I stopped myself from walking. Why the hell was he hear brothering me? I was sure he was just here to make me fear even more confused than I already am. but looking at him, in his eyes. I couldn't see that intention on his face. I couldn't really read him at all, he seemed just as bewildered as me. "damn...I you have your reasons for hating me." I don't hate him, I could never do that...No matter how mad I am at him. Which I wish wasn't the case. I bet being a heartless lioness wouldn't have severed me greatly at this time in my life. but... it's not in me to hate or to hate him.

"Why are you here, don't you have your mate and pride to be with?"

"I want to talk to you- I need to talk to you." he stated.

"What?"

"We got off on the wrong paw, completely."

"I couldn't agree with you more... so what about it? talkings not going to change the things that's been said or done?"

"I know that, but it'll at least get us both on the same page. Look I know we both want the same thing. I know with a simple conversation we can fix it." he sounded so sure...everything he always said or did, he felt so sure about. Even when we were cubs as long as I could remember, that something that I can see is still the same. and that was something that always made me trust him.

"I know that. but I'm willing to forgive and forget if you are." where was this coming from? did he have a talk with Kenya already? He must really want me gone. Well, I might as well give him what he wants.

" So where should we begin, what do you want to know exactly. that you don't already?"

"Everything" everything? " Look Nala, I can't stand here and lie to you or myself."

"...Everything is a lot Simba and I'm more than sure you won't want to hear everything I have to say-"

"No, I do. we'll both get some closure and understanding if we do this." something within me doubted that but...if he wanted to go for it, then why not.

"Okay, let's go it...but you have to go first."

"Fine by me," he says that now, but I doubt he knows what he's about to get himself into too- hell what I'm about to get myself into. I just have to see how this conversation goes and pray to the kings, it doesn't go south like before...

*I know this was a short chapter, I had some serious writer's block. but I finally have my computer back. That was the longest week of my life. but I'll see you guys when I post the next chapter tomorrow! How do you all think this conversation will go...do you think they will both act like proper adults with some damn sense.

+KawaiiCutie12, Sarafina will come in to save the day...hopefully.

+RyanSquad, they are, but they will overcome I promise...

+ExGeneration35, It does suck, literally, everything takes so long typing and editing is such a pain. Man you have a lot on your plate with your schoolwork and Fanfiction.-i know you got this! and I think whatever Sarafina and Mwenya talked to Nuka about would be for whatever best for the pride.

+Shiranai Atsune, yup and I hope you enjoyed this one!
