Chapter 35

Kita assembled her pride, or at least what was left of it. Tiaru, Kiki and Tiku showed up. After a while Taka came. Kiki stood on edge, waiting and wanting Bailey to show up. Kita sighed. "Kiki I'm sure he'll come when he's ready." Kiki sighed. She looked back at Kita. "He's either coming or he's not." Kita nodded.
She sighed. "I'm not waiting much longer Kiki, we've been away from home for to long." Kiki sighed and then nodded. "Let's get going then," she said. Taka looked back toward the den. As Kita and the rest started off, Tiaru stopped. "You don't have to come along you know," he said to Taka. Taka sighed. "I know, I just need a taste of home, I've already promised Niya I'd be back." Tiaru nodded. "Let's go then."
What consisted of the Lone pride then headed back toward the Lone lands, with no intention of coming back, that was all except for Taka...

Eshma stood there stunned for a few seconds. Kamania stared at the other lioness, her face having a mixed expression. Kicku stared at them both. She couldn't believe what was happening.
After a few minutes Eshma turned and stared at Kamania. "Now do you see?" Kamania finally managed to say. Eshma remained speechless. A tear ran down Kamania's cheek. "Eshma snap out of it!" She yelled. Eshma shook her head and sighed.
"I-I'm sorry..." she said. Kicku and Kamania nodded. "Let's go home," Kicku said, turning. Home...the word hit Eshma like a rock. She turned toward Kamania, Kita's and her own words crashing back to her. "Go home Kamania," she said, feeling as though someone else were saying the words.
Kamania turned and stared at Eshma. "I'm going home, Eshma." She stated simply. Eshma shook her head. "You're going to the pride lands, your home is in the lone lands." Kamania sighed.
"Eshma, I want to stay in the pride lands. It's my decision as to where home is." Kamania shook her head. Eshma sighed. "You're not following your heart Kamania and you know it. In some small way your heart is with Kita. And Kita is in the Lone lands, your home..." Eshma said.
Kicku stood waiting, watching Kamania. Kamania frowned. "You're wrong!" she yelled, turning and running as fast as she could back toward the pride lands. Eshma sighed. "Follow your heart Kamania," she whispered, feeling as though the words had been let on to a current of wind. Kicku sighed and together walking slowly she and Eshma headed home...

End of Chap. 35. So you all know here's what I meant when I said, "she whispered, feeling as though the words had been let on a current of wind." Nearu was watching and she took the words to Kamania, something along those lines...I dunno.... hope you all like it and thanks for all the reviews! Yippee! TTFN!
