Hi, here's chapter uhh, 30 is it?
CHAPTER 30
Kita and Tiaru walked back up to Pride Rock. Kita glanced at Eshma and saw a strange look in her eyes. She looked away and turned to the King. Mohatu suddenly looked surprised. 'Mohatu, my mate and I have decided we want to return to the Lone Lands.' She said simply. Mohatu raised his eyebrows. Kicku approached them and stood besides her mate. He looked at her.
'Oh, we fully understand, Kita, it's your home.' Kicku said. But Maya, at the back of the cave turned to Bailey.
'Did you here that?! They're gonna leave! That means you'll have to too!' she gasped. She pinned her ears but Bailey squeaked. He shook his mane and walked up to Kita and Tiaru. Tiaru turned to him.
'Bailey, we will be leaving soon.' He said to him. Bailey pinned his ears and looked over to Maya. She sighed and lay down with her chin on her paws and her ears tight to her head. He looked back at Tiaru. Tiaru sighed. 'I'm sorry, Bailey.' Bailey shook his head and ran out past Niya and Taka and didn't even notice the cubs in their mouths. Niya and Taka exchanged glances and walked in the den. Everyone turned to them and their eyes fell on the two newborns. Niya and Taka walked in and Niya lay at the back and put Tala down in between her paws. Taka then gently dropped Kinu next to his sister. Niya smiled and nuzzled both of them and then Taka. One by one, the lions made their way to them, all except Kita who had a horrified look on her face. She turned and ran out...Eshma smiled at the cubs who were gazing up at her through their almond eyes. Then she noticed that Kita had sprinted out and went to look for her. Kamania saw that she had left, but was more interested in the cubs. She smiled at them and Tala sneezed. Kamania laughed a bit.
Eshma found Kita sobbing by the lake. She walked up to her and sighed. 'Kita, I know your upset about Kamania, but-'
'YOU KNOW? YOU KNOW?! YOU SAY YOU KNOW, BUT YOU ONLY THINK YOU KNOW! YOU DON'T KNOW ANYTHING! WHY DOES NIYA GET TO KEEP BOTH OF HER CUBS? WHY COULDN'T SHE HAVE LOST ONE TOO?!' she panted. Eshma felt rage build up inside her for the first time in ages.
'Your jealous, aren't you?! WELL I'M SORRY KITA, BUT YOU'RE NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO CARES ABOUT KAMANIA! AND HERE YOU ARE WISHING AWAY A NEWBORN! IF YOU WANT TO BE A MOTHER TO KAMANIA, YOU SHOULD START ACTING LIKE ONE!' she yelled. Kita pinned her ears. 'Oh God, I'm so sorry!' Eshma whimpered. 'I-I dunno-' Kita walked up to her and nuzzled Eshma.
'It's ok. I know it's not like you...in fact, what happened when you were hanging off that cliff wasn't like you either. What happened?' Eshma pulled away from her, now feeling very uncomfortable. But she reluctantly told her about Nearu. Kita sighed. 'But how come you were acting like-well...you know?'
'It seemed pretty normal to me.' Eshma said quickly.
'Normal?! Eshma, you were threatening to commit suicide! It's a good job Bailey saved you-' she broke of and gasped.
'What?' Eshma asked.
'Bailey! He-he doesn't want to leave Maya! Oh what am I gonna do? I want to go, but what about my Tiku and the others?'
'We'll think of something...' Eshma said, although she sounded doubtful. Eshma looked at the sky and thought of Sarsha. Then she thought of Crinu. And then of Niya. Her brother, sister, and close friend all had something in common...'I wish I had cubs...' Eshma suddenly blurted out. Kita pinned her ears and sighed. Eshma hung her head, but Kita lifted her chin up with her paw. Eshma looked into her eyes and Kita smiled.
'You could have cubs, if you wanted too.' But Eshma shook her head.
'No, I don't have a mate. I feel so left out sometimes, so alone. My sister and brother and my friends have a family, but I'm like-another member of the Pride. I'm the one who gives the advice. I'm seen as nothing more than some lioness that helps them out once in a while.' Kita noticed her eyes brimming.
'Is...that why you wanted to let yourself fall?' Kita asked. Eshma shrugged.
'I don't know anything anymore Kita.' She turned and walked away, leaving Kita staring after her.
Maya had come out and found Bailey staring at his reflection. She nuzzled him. 'Don't worry. They can't keep us apart. If you're going, I'm going too...'
