w/ the chapter!
Chapter 27
The winds swirled around what was left of the camp. In the stars the lioness watched over the camp. She looked to the dark brown lioness lying unconscious in the middle of the camp. She smiled and then closed her eyes and became a part of the wind...
The ghostly form of Nearu appeared next to Eshma. Although she appeared real, her coat was semi-transparent. She smiled and then sat down. Eshma began to stir a bit. "You wanted to see me?" Nearu said finally. Eshma's ear twitched and she slowly opened her eyes. She saw Nearu's paw and then slowly looked up at the lioness. "Careful now," Nearu said as Eshma sat up.
"Who-who are you?" Eshma asked. Nearu smiled. "Rumor has it you've been wandering this campsite looking for me," she said. Eshma gasped. "You-you're Kita's mother? Ne-Nearu I believe?" The lioness nodded. "Yes, I am Nearu, now Eshma, tell me, what is it you seek?" Eshma shook her head to clear it.
"I don't understand. I've been here every night for the past week, but I've found no scent at all." She said. Nearu smiled at her and then shook her head. "That is because a ghost leaves no scent," Eshma gasped. "But, then..."
"I visit the ones I love in their dreams. True I do not know you, but you were trying so hard to contact me I felt I had to make your wish come true." Nearu laughed a bit. She then looked up at the sky. "My time is limited Eshma, ask what you need to ask,"
"Why did Kita push Kamania out into the storm?" Eshma blurted out. Nearu sighed. "Eshma, I am not my daughter. I know Kita wouldn't have pushed Kamania out if she had known Kamania was alive." Nearu looked back at Eshma. Eshma nodded and then said, "Kamania and I have a um more personal relationship, is there anything I can do to help her accept Kita?"
Nearu had begun to fade, it was slow, but sure. Nearu shook her head. "I don't think anymore can be done. It is up to Kita and Kamania now. Kamania will either accept Kita or she won't, that's just the way it is," Nearu was now barely visible. "But wait, there has to be something!" "I'm sorry Eshma, it's up to them now..." Nearu faded and everything went black around Eshma...
Eshma awoke later and returned to pride rock. Even though she didn't like what Nearu had said, she was glad she had finally met the mysterious lioness. Eshma glanced toward the den entrance and sighed. The sun was just now rising. Eshma yawned and then lay down to sleep, she would get up later...
Maya got up and then stretched slowly. She yawned and looked around. Bailey was sleeping peacefully between her and Kiki. Tiku was on the other side of Kiki and across from them Kita and Tiaru were sleeping soundly with Tiaru's ear twitching every once in a while. Maya looked around for Kamania. She sighed when she saw the lonely lioness near the back of the cave. She shook her head and then headed out toward the watering hole.
As she leaned down to drink a gentle wind swept past her and she smiled, knowing it could only be Simba. Maya sat up and then began to bathe herself. She licked her paw and then dragged it over her head.
In the grass behind Maya, Bailey crouched low. He smiled to himself as he shifted his shoulders. Maya didn't suspect a thing. His tail twitched a bit and stealthily he moved toward Maya. Still she continued bathing herself, completely oblivious to Bailey.
Bailey smiled and then crouched low to the ground. He waited a few seconds and then with a raspy sort of roar he pounced. Maya gasped as Bailey collided into her, sending them both into the water. Bailey ended up on top of Maya, pinning her in a way. He smiled at her. Maya laughed. "Good one Bailey," she said, pushing him off. Bailey shook, spraying her with water. "Hey!" Maya yelled, batting water at him. Bailey snorted as water got in his nose and then glared teasingly at her.
He crouched playfully and then swatted more water at her. They played in the water for a few minutes before finally leaving and drying off. Maya had grown used to Bailey not talking. She sighed as she watched him shake the water from his golden coat. Bailey looked up at her. She smiled and before she knew it, she'd broken into song:
It's amazing how you can speak right to my heart (she sits down and puts a paw on her heart.)
Without saying a word, you light up the dark! (Maya walks up and nuzzles him)
Try as I may I could never explain
What I hear when you don't say a thing (She acts as though her mouth is a zipper, smiling)
The smile on your face lets me know that you need me (Maya uses her 'fingers' to make Bailey smile.)
There's a truth in your eyes sayin' you'll never leave me (gestures toward her eyes)
The touch of your paw says you'll catch me if ever I fall (Maya whirls around pretending to fall and Bailey catches her)
You say it best when you say nothing at all (Again uses her mouth as a zipper)
All day long I can hear them talking out loud (Uses her paw as a puppet)
But when you hold me near, you drown out the crowd (She nuzzles him again and sighs against him.)
They could never define (Gestures toward pride rock)
What's being said between your heart and mine (puts a paw on her heart and the other on his)
The smile on your face lets me know that you need me (starts parading around, watching him smile at her.)
There's a truth in your eyes sayin' you'll never leave me
The touch of your paw says you'll catch me if ever I fall (she trips and Bailey catches her)
You say it best when you say nothing at all (Maya looks up at him and does the zipper thing again)
The smile on your face lets me know that you need me (She gets back up and they smile at each other.)
There's a truth in your eyes sayin' you'll never leave me (Bailey's eyes sparkle and he smiles wide)
The touch of your paw says you'll catch me if ever I fall (Maya sighs)
You say it best when you say nothing at all Nothing at all...(They sit there nuzzling each other.)
As she sat there nuzzling Bailey and thinking about the future, reality hit her. Mohatu and Kicku would never go for it. Sure they liked Bailey, but Maya was future queen. Her mate destined to be king. Maya looked at Bailey. They would lose a lot of the animal's respect if Bailey were to be king. No one would want a mute for a king. They would want somebody strong and able to back up stuff. Someone who could talk...
Tears began to build in Maya's eyes as she thought of all this. Bailey didn't seem to have noticed. He smiled and licked her cheek. Maya choked down a sob and as her tears began to flow she turned tail and ran off; leaving Bailey wondering why...
Ok this was long I know, but hey I had to make up for the last one being short right? No offense C.a.b, I think it was fine just the way it was. Anyway you've been doing all the songs so I decided I wanted to do this one, um tell me what you think ok? I really hope you like it, esp. the ending, I hope you like it....well g2g, ttfn! Oh btw thanks for the tigger pic!
