As the Lone Pride walked on back, Tiku sighed. He wished he could have at
least said goodbye to Maya and Bailey properly. And Kamania. At least Taka
would be going back. He heard sniffing behind him and he turned to find
Kiki in tears. 'What's wrong?' he asked. Kiki shook her head and sat down.
Tiku turned to his mother.
'Go on, we'll catch up' he said. Kita nodded and walked on with the rest. 'Kiki, what?'
'Oh Tiku, it's all my fault Bailey's gone! If I hadn't had made him fall for Maya, he would still be with us now!'
'No, Kiki, Bailey loves Maya, not just because you wanted him to! He's happy with her; you've got to understand that. You do want him to be happy, don't you?' Kiki looked up at him through watery eyes.
'Of course I do.' She gasped.
'Then let him go. You never know, perhaps he and Maya will come and visit us sometime.' Tiku finished. Kiki smiled weakly and then rubbed her head under his chin.
'I'll just miss him so much though...' she whispered.
'Me too, Kiki. Me too.' Tiku nuzzled her and after a minute they pulled away from each other. 'We should catch up.' Tiku said. Kiki nodded and followed him. She walked behind Tiku and looked to the sky.
Kamania frowned as she ran back to the Pride Lands. But she didn't cry. She didn't let one tear go. She wasn't upset, just annoyed at the minute. Eshma was wrong. How could her heart be in the Lone Lands if she had never been there? The Pride Lands were where she had grown up, and she hadn't talked to anyone as much as she had talked to Eshma. Sure, she would talk to Maya quite a lot, but that was different. Eshma was older and knew more. It was as if she had been best friends with her foster mother-she seemed to be a lot like her in personality. She kept running and she sped past three other lions but didn't even notice. They stared after her, but didn't bother going after her. 'I hope she's ok.' Sarsha said. She blinked and then followed her son to the Spirit Lands. They found Eshma and Kicku walking back. Crinu sighed with relief as he nuzzled his younger sister. Mohatu and Kicku nuzzled too and then Kicku explained what had happened. Then they walked back.
The lion growled low in his throat as he shuffled his paws and shifted his shoulders. He narrowed his eyes and smiled to himself as he watched the Pride of lions walking. His eyes rested on the female at the back of the line... 'I've got you now...there's no escaping me this time...I swear, I'll get you...' he grumbled.
Maya and Bailey were walking the Pride Lands together. Bailey let a tear roll down his cheek. 'Oh Bailey, perhaps you should just go. I know you miss Kiki. You belong in the Lone Lands. But my parents are right. I can't give up the throne, and Matosa and Kasoni won't accept it...I can't let my future Land down, Bailey. But it's up to you if you stay or not...' she looked at Bailey. He sighed and nuzzled Maya. The looked up as Kamania walked past with her head down low and her ears pinned tight to her head. 'Hey Kamania.' Maya said. Kamania smiled a bit and sat down next to them. 'You ok?'
'I don't know. I want to stay here with you guys. This is the only place where I have ever had friends. But I also want to go back with Kita...I'm so confused...'
'Maybe you should go and then come back and visit us once in a while?' Maya suggested. Kamania shrugged.
'No...I want to stay here more because of Eshma. She's the one who really made me feel welcome. But she wants me to go.'
'She only wants what's best for you.'
'Well...I'd rather not leave her...she's been really upset lately...I think I know why she wants me to go anyway...'
'Why?'
'Cause I hit her-only to make her understand though! You should have seen how she was reacting!'
'It's ok; it's ok, calm down. I know how Eshma can be sometimes. She tries so hard to make others understand things, and then she goes and does the opposite. I can't blame her though.' Maya sighed. 'Well, it's up to you if you stay or not Kamania...Eshma can't make you do anything you don't want to do. Nobody can.' Kamania smiled at Maya and Maya smiled back. After a few minutes, the others came walking past. Maya rushed forwards.
'Daddy, I-'
'Maya, I told you not to leave Pride Rock.' Mohatu frowned.
'Father...I have learnt my lesson. I'll stay here. I know I have to, but I just wish that Bailey could stay too. I don't want to miss him.' She said as she hung her head. Mohatu looked back at Kicku. She raised her eyebrows. Mohatu smiled and nuzzled his daughter.
'It's ok, Maya, but it is up to bailey whether he stays or not. Come on, let's go home.' They all walked back except for Eshma and Sarsha. Eshma hung her head and Sarsha nuzzled her.
'Hey, it's ok now.' She sighed. Eshma took a deep breath and smiled at her sister.
'Yeah...yeah, I'll be ok now, Sarsha.' Kamania, who had been at the back of the line had come back to talk to Eshma.
'Eshma, please just hear me out. I don't want to go back to the Lone Lands. I want to stay here. Yes, I do now understand why Kita did what she did, but that's not the point. I want to stay here because of you. I'll still go and visit them, and don't say 'follow your heart', because I am.' Eshma blinked at her. She opened her mouth to argue but Sarsha interrupted.
'Don't Eshma. You can't decide for her.' Eshma wanted to cry. 'Come here.' Sarsha said as she nuzzled Eshma again.
The white lioness gasped. She growled as the two others circled her. She roared as the lioness pounced, but Kiki knocked her down. Tiku came back with the others to help fight them off. Kita gasped. 'Kita, go back to the Pride Lands! We might need their help!' Kita hesitated but reluctantly sprinted back to the Pride Lands...

'Go on, we'll catch up' he said. Kita nodded and walked on with the rest. 'Kiki, what?'
'Oh Tiku, it's all my fault Bailey's gone! If I hadn't had made him fall for Maya, he would still be with us now!'
