" So let me give the full scope. You met Zahara over here just happens to look identical to you. Who than happens to be exactly where you think she is. And now she thinks she is your blood sister, because you said something in Swahili?" Imara explained to herself.
"Putting it like that only makes it sound only a bit more stupid than it it already did." Vitani replied in a half serious tone.
After the confrontation between Zahara and Vitani. She decided to tell the rest of the Guard and the future leaders of the pridelands about it.
"How do you know she isn't lying?" Imara asked." Eh, she doesn't seem like the lie in someone's face type."
" Okay, but do you think she's related to you?"
" I'm not sure."
Imara roles her eyes." If she's the same age as you how does she know some much about the past. Oh! Or let me guess. Her bigger sister that isn't here for some reason told her everything she knows about the past."
Zahara stood silent for a few seconds.
"Yes, actually." She muttered releasing how unconvincing her story sounds.
" I mean in her defence." Kovu stated.
" That was a very specific and probably really lucky guess." He continued." Fine. That still doesn't mean they're related."
" Well how do I prove it to you?" Zahara asked.
" What was you're mother's name?"
" Akina."
Imara looked towards Vitani.
" Ring any bells?"
" Not. Really."
"I rest my case." Imara said conclusively." In her defence." Tazama defended." My parents Never really greeted me with there first name. I just call them mom and dad."
Taza' continued.
"Okay. Zahara. Is there anything you say to prove that you're actually Vitani's sister?" Imara asked still not convinced. Zahara sighed. After a short pause she started singing.
Ooh oh umntana umama akekho
Uyotheng' isinkwa
ang'she ngaso
Athi ngidl' amasi
Awadliwanga yimi
Aldiwe yinja inja yaka gogo
Zahara paused. Looking at Vitani. It was clear to everyone in the cave that she knew it. What she did next is what shocked most of them.
Ooh oh umntana umama akekho
Uyotheng' isinkwa
ang'she ngaso
Athi ngidl' amasi
Awadliwanga yimi
Aldiwe yinja inja yaka gogo
Vitani had sang it back perfectly.
" You have to be kidding me." Imara stated dumb founded. Vitani turned to face Zahara. Looking for answers.
" Mom used to sing it to us every night. More specifically you. You would always these horrible night terrors so she would sing it to us. I'm not sure how you coped this long without even trying to sing it to yourself, but that isn't important right now. Akasiro, Vitani, whichever one you're comfortable with. I'm not sure how you feel about any of this, Just know. If want to learn anything about Mom or dad or any of us. I'm here and I'm not leaving anytime soon." Zahara told Vitani sincerely. All vita' could really do was nod.
The day came and went and with it the patrol was over. All Vitani could really think of was how she now has direct contact with her blood. One of her sisters who just happened to move to the Pridelands at the right time." So, you're gonna hang out with your sister today?" Shabaha asked curious." Yeah. I want to learn more about my past." Vitani replied." Well, you're not going alone!" Kasi said with a grin." Kasi asked if she can go. I said yes. Don't ask me why." Vitani said to the rest of the group.
" Well you two have fun. I'm going to sleep." Imara stated. As the group split ways Vitani and Kasi began to talk.
"Why did you want to come exactly?"
" Hey! I'm just interested. Plus we're friends. I feel like I should know more about you."
" If you say so. Just make sure to sleep tonight okay?"
"Why?"
"Well. You said you sleep during the day. Since your coming with me-"
"I'll have no time to sleep. Blah blah, I'll be fine! I've spent days without sleep and I've turned out fine so far!"
Vitani looked at Kasi with concern.
Arriving at Zahara's tree the two waited for her to arrive. A few minutes later she did arrived, dragging a dead springbok." Hey sis!" She greeted happily." I see your friend there's already asleep." Zahara said while eying towards Kasi who was long passed out on the floor.
" Do we wake her up?"
" No. Let her sleep. One of the few times I've seen with her eyes closed."
" That doesn't sound healthy."
"Probably isn't."
" Anyway what did you want to know?"
"How, what happened when I was taken."
"You mean by Zira? That's kind of a long one. Might want to sit down for this one."
