Hi Bambi, glad I could finally IM you! Lol, anyways, I don't mean to offend
Ceci1, but that last review you gave just made me laugh, SO much! I don't
know why, I think it was the last bit when you said that thing about Eshma.
Lol, anyways, chapter 28.
CHAPTER 28
The sun had now fully risen. Eshma felt her paws hanging over the edge of Pride Rock as she half awoke. She couldn't be bothered to go in the den earlier; she had just lied down and fallen to sleep. But she hadn't remembered sleeping so close to the edge. But she shrugged and kept her eyes closed. She thought about what had happened. Nearu had said that there was nothing Eshma could do to make Kamania accept Kita. But Eshma refused to believe. There had to be something, there just had to be! Kamania had always been able to talk to Eshma more then any other lion in the Pride, and Eshma had understood almost anything. Eshma rolled over, completely forgetting she was on the edge. She stirred a bit and stretched. She gasped for air. She stretched again and screamed as she slid down. She was now clinging onto the edge of Pride Rock with only one of her paws! She looked down as a bit of rock crumbled of and fell down. Eshma was really tiered at the minute, so she couldn't hold on properly. 'Oh well,' she thought, 'I might hit the bottom fast, that way I won't feel anything...'
'ESHMA!!!' she heard a voice from far below her. It was Maya's voice. Eshma slid down, still only clinging with one paw. She slapped her other paw onto the rock and pulled herself up a little bit. But she was so tiered. She looked back down at Maya.
'I could just let go you know!' she called down to her. Maya's eyes widened.
'No! Why would you?!' she gasped as Eshma slid down. 'ESHMA DON'T!' Bailey, who had been walking back up to Pride Rock gasped and ran to the edge. He stuck his paw down, but Eshma went further down. From in the den, the other lions who had been wondering what all the noise was about had come out. Kamania gasped.
'Eshma, what are you doing?!' she exclaimed. She ran to the edge, but couldn't see as Bailey was leaning over. Eshma looked into Bailey's eyes and allowed herself to slide down further.
'I'll let go.' She warned him. Bailey squeaked and shook his mighty mane. He reached down further, but Kamania pushed him aside and looked down.
'Eshma!' she said Eshma looked into her eyes. Kamania gasped. What happened to her warm comforting blue eyes? They were now a cold, dark grey colour, and her voice was harsh. 'Eshma, snap out of it!' she roared. Eshma shook her head and then realized what had happened. She screamed and then fainted with fear, her claws retracting, and just as she was about to fall, Bailey pushed Kamania out of the way and caught Eshma by the scruff of the neck. Maya sighed with relief and made her way to the top of Pride Rock. Bailey pulled Eshma up and dragged her to the mouth of the cave. He then let her go and gasped for air, his heart racing. Crinu trotted forward and nuzzled his youngest sister. He pushed her head up and she opened her eyes. Then she sighed and fell unconscious...
**********************
Eshma now lay at the back of the cave, with Pantia treating her. Crinu and Sarsha watched, whilst Mohatu and Kicku thanked Bailey. 'Bailey, how can we ever re-pay you for saving one of our most loving Pride Members?' Kicku asked with a smile. Bailey shrugged. Maya stepped forwards.
'By letting him become the next King.' She said simply. Bailey looked surprised, and so did the King and Queen. Kicku and Mohatu exchanged glances, much like did when they were cubs and then looked at Maya. But she kept her head high. 'Mother, Father, I love Bailey. He saved Eshma. Just because he's a mute doesn't mean he can't be a King. He's strong and he would know how to look after us.'
'But Maya, no offence to Bailey, but the members of the Pride Lands are gonna want someone who can actually, you know, talk.' Mohatu said as he glanced at Bailey.
'Daddy, I understand everything Bailey says. Because he can talk. Just not by using words.' Mohatu looked at Bailey and smiled.
'Fair enough, but what about his home, hmm?' said Kicku. Bailey pinned his ears. Mohatu sighed.
'I'll think about it.' He said. And with that, he and Kicku turned to the back of the den.
Kamania walked forwards and lay down besides Eshma. Pantia had left, telling them she just needed rest. After about a minute or two, Eshma opened her eyes, and Kamania was relieved to see that they were back to normal. She sighed and nuzzled Eshma.
A little ways of, Tania and Tamola sighed. 'Why was Eshma acting like that?' Tamola asked. Tania shrugged.
'Well...when we were living in the jungle, and anywhere else before we met up with Sarsha again, we were in a lot of danger. It's just something that happens to her...she's been put in danger so many times, and nearly all the time she has threatened to let the danger get her...it happens every time something strange happens...I worry so much about her...' she cried as she leaned her head against Tamola's mane. Tamola nuzzled her and the looked back to Eshma...
Eshma smiled weakly at Kamania. 'Eshma...what happened?' she asked. Eshma shrugged.
'I don't know if I can tell...' Kamania blinked.
'Come on, you can tell me, you always made me tell you stuff. You've been there to help me, and now I want to help you.' Eshma gave a small laugh and then sighed. 'So, you gonna tell me what happened?' she asked her again.
END OF CHAPTER 28
