One more chapter after this and then this story is finished! I might write
another but I'm not sure. I guess I'll just have to let my readers decide
huh?
Chapter 11: The dream
"Kita." A semi-familiar voice called. Kita stirred, and tried to open her eyes. They felt heavy. "Kita, wake up." The voice urged. Kita finally opened her eyes. There before her she saw a young lioness about Kiara's age. Slowly Kita got up. The lioness looked familiar somehow. "Who are you?" she asked. The lioness smiled. "I never dreamed you'd be so beautiful." She said. Kita was confused. The lioness smiled once more. "I am Nearu," she said. "Your mother." Kita looked up at Nearu. "But," she paused. "You're dead. Am I.?" Nearu shook her head. "No dear. You are still alive." Again Kita was confused. "What's going on?" she asked. "I love you dear, it was great to see you again." Nearu said, her voice fading as well as her body. "What? NO! Don't leave me! I don't even know what's going on!" Kita screamed, she tried to get up and run after her mother, but her legs wouldn't work. They felt like rubber. "Don't go!" "Don't worry my Kita, it is not your time yet, you have to much to live for. Live your life well Kita. The worst is over." And with that Nearu left, and Kita's world went black.
"Kita! Kita!" Tiaru yelled. "Kita wake up!" he said, nudging her over and over. "Oh please Kita!" he said. Kita stirred faintly. Her legs twitched. "What's wrong Kita? Wake up!" Tiaru licked Kita's cheek and nudged her once more. "Don't.don't leave me.." Kita murmured. "Kita I won't, don't worry." "Don't go!" Kita near screamed.
Kita then sat bolt upright. "What? Where am I?" she looked around and saw Tiaru. "Are you alright?" Tiaru asked. Kita was breathing hard. She looked around. Her head hurt. Suddenly she realized where she was. She gasped. "What about Howler?" she demanded. Kiara stepped forward. "It's ok Kita, he won't be bothering you anymore." She said in a gentle voice. "What? What do you mean?" Kita asked. Kiara smiled. "You killed him." Kita looked up. She then looked over.
Howler lay not three feet away. His body was stiff and blood surrounded him. Kita felt like she couldn't breathe. "How could I have.?" she asked. Tiaru nuzzled her. "It doesn't matter now. You're alive, and that's all that matters." He said. Kita looked around. Up in the clouds she saw a familiar face smiling down at her. It was Nearu. Suddenly Kita knew how she had found the strength to defeat Howler. She smiled. "I understand now." She said. The pride around her smiled. Tiaru sighed and snuggled against her. "Come," said Simba. "We have to go home. Now that the danger is over, it is time." He said.
Kita looked over to where Miku stood. She slowly got up. Her legs hurt, but she walked over to where he was anyway. She rubbed her head under his chin. "I love you Miku." She said. Miku smiled. "I love you to Kita. Don't forget you promised you'd be there?" Kita smiled. "I always keep my promises don't I?" Miku smiled.
"Let's go home." Kovu said. The pride assembled, even Taka and together, the Pride landers and the Lone landers went back to Pride rock.
