Chapter Five:
Intruders in the Land:
"Why are we doing this?" Tika asked as they came nearer to the strangers.
"We need water, Tika." Vitani answered, and not changing her course.
"Right. Tell how it turns out." Tika said, and started to leave.
"You're going to help me." Vitani said.
"Why?" This is crazy. We can get water at the next watering hole." Tika argued.
"The next watering hole is poisoned, Tika." Vitani said, "It became poisoned not that long before we left."
"Ad you forgot to tell me?"
"No. You had never drank from it, period. That's I didn't think it would concern you." Vitani said, then turned her attention back to the strange lion pride that now inhabited their old home.
"They'll never let us drink from their water source, Tani." Tika said, "It'll be a waste of time."
"We have to try." Vitani said, "Or else we'll die of thirst."
"You just had to be discontent in the Pride Lands, didn't you?" Tika groaned.
Vitani chose to ignore this remark, and followed the strange lions to their home.
"We can sneak past these bozos with no trouble." Vitani said, "Look, they don't even detect us."
"They don't, but we do." A voice from behind said.
Vitani and Tika whirled around to see a dozen lionesses!
"Hi." Tika said, faking a friendly smile, "We were just passing through, and now we're leaving." She and Vitani started to run away, but the lionesses blocked their path.
"Where do you think you're going?" the leader asked.
"We were going somewhere, but we don't know the specifics." Tika said.
"You are going nowhere, until you've been given the okay by our queen." The leader replied, "Come with us."
The lionesses led Vitani and Tika and towards the Termite mounds. Soon, they had arrived at the main mound, where Vitani's pride used to sleep at night.
"Queen?" Tika whispered to Vitani, "No males?"
"We may have a chance, then." Vitani, "Nothing lures a horny king like two new faces."
"I'm not comforted." Tika said with a shudder.
They were led into the main hall, where Vitani's pride would meet for planning. Much to the surprise of both, the room was still set up exactly as it was before, and in center of it all sat the queen the leader had told them about. And they couldn't believe who it was.
"Oh, my gosh." Tika said, disbelief in her voice, "It can't be."
"Mother?" Vitani gasped.
