Chapter 37

Kita heard the shot before she felt it. The searing pain cut into her shoulder like a knife. Mid-step she stumbled and then somersaulted, landing with a hard thud on her back. Minutes later her vision blurred as the pain became too much to bear and soon, everything around her went completely black...

"Finally got one!" Frank said triumphantly as he made his way over to Kita. "She isn't dead is she?" Joe asked. Frank frowned. "Naw, but then again, I want to get some meat on her, make that red coat of hers shine a little better. We'll treat the wound while she's unconscious and then start the preparations."
Joe nodded and helped Frank slide Kita into a cage. An angry roar sounded some ways off. Frank turned and saw the form of a muscular lion running toward him. It was Tiaru, coming to the aid of Kita. Frank took aim and fired, his aim perfect. Tiaru held a look of shock on his face as he went down.
For a brief moment, Kita became conscious, but only long enough to hear Frank say, "Now that one's dead," she looked over and saw the now still form of Tiaru. A tear slid down her cheek as she became unconscious once more...

Tiku saw his father go down. Out of the corner of his eye he had seen the bullet. Now it felt as though he were a volcano, the anger and rage inside of him building slowly. Tanu smacked him square in the shoulder and Tiku went off. He turned and roared loudly, attacking Tanu with such fierce that even Tanu was surprised.
"Those murderers are yours!" he said, smacking Tanu hard across his already scarred face. "They've taken my mother and now they've killed my dad!" He pounced on Tanu and savagely began to bite and smack and roar.
Meanwhile Kiki fought Kacela while Taka snuck off to find help. He to was hurt by the fact that the two that had taken him in when he was hurt were gone. He did not know that Kita was not dead, for all he knew she was. Once safe from human eyes he began an all out run toward Pride rock. When he was within roaring distance he roared as loud as he possibly could, his roar sounding the alarm. Mohatu appeared at the top of pride rock, and seeing Taka's desperate run toward him, he clambered down off of pride rock.
"Taka what is it?" he asked. "The humans are back," Taka choked, tears now pouring freely down his face. "And they've killed Kita and Tiaru." Not far away, Kamania froze. "NO!" She yelled, her long dormant feelings for Kita releasing themselves at last. She turned and ran in the direction Taka had come from, her stride long and eating up the distance. It couldn't be true, her real parents were not dead...they couldn't be.... they just couldn't be....
