hope you like this chapter though!
Chapter 39
Tika heard a soft crunching noise and instinct told her the humans were returning. She knew she had to move, but it felt as though her feet were stuck in knee-deep mud, preventing her from moving. A stick broke and Tika jumped. She forced herself to move, making sure she was well hidden before she turned to face them.
Slowly the humans made their way back. Frank's face shriveled up in disgust and his kicked the dust and cursed. "Frank, we got two of em," Joe said. Frank scowled. "Yeah, but I wanted that red pelt, she'd have brought in a lot of money." Joe shrugged. "Well these two should bring in some good money to."
In the brush Tika felt the tears coming. She wanted to rush out and stop them. Instead the feeling of being stuck returned and she was forced to watch as they loaded the limp forms of Tiaru and Karla into the back of their truck. Tika shook as she let the tears come. The truck engine started and Tika collapsed, her legs unable to hold her any longer.
After a few minutes she felt a gentle nudge in her side. "Tania," she said as she looked up at her sister. Tania offered a weak smile and then lay down beside her sister. They leaned against each other for a while and then cried themselves to sleep...
Kamania sat outside the den. Sarsha and Kicku had already brought Kita in, and now Pantia was treating her wounds. New feelings were being roused in Kamania. She had always hated Kita for what had happened. She had never wanted to know the lioness that claimed to be her mother. But now, with Kita clinging only by a thread for her life, Kamania felt as though her heart were breaking.
She shivered a bit as a chill ran down her spine. Her father was dead, but her mother, the one who had tried so hard to make it up to her, was alive. Kamania sighed. She didn't want to, but she did. As the lionesses left the den Kamania stood. Finally Pantia came out. She put a hand on Kamania's shoulder. "I've done all I can for her." She gave a brief nod and then walked on.
Kamania sighed. She sat for a minute or so more. Finally she took a deep breath, stood and walked into the den, determined to tell Kita how she really felt....
