Chapter 2: Late night talk

Sarabi heard voices around her. Slowly her eyes flitted open and she looked up to see Sarafina's worried face above hers. Sarafina sighed and said, "Oh Sarabi, thank goodness you're alright!" She nuzzled the ex-queen and helped her to her feet. Nala stood nearby, her eyes tear-strained and full of sadness.
The other lionesses, seeing that Sarabi was ok, left to go inside and get some sleep. Sarabi stood on wobbly feet. She still felt a little sick, but she knew she had to live with it. "What happened anyway?" Sarafina asked. Sarabi sighed. "I just got a little sick, that's all." She replied. Sarafina nodded and they went into the den.
There was a muffled sound of lions mating and Sarafina scoffed and put a paw over Nala's head. "Don't listen dear," she said. She escorted Nala over to their sleeping place and asked for one of the nearby lionesses to watch her. Sarafina then turned. "Come on Sarabi, we need to talk."
Sarabi followed Sarafina down to the watering hole. She sighed as she looked at her reflection in the moon lit water. Her eyes had taken on a pained look. She sighed once more and then turned toward Sarafina. "You would think they would have the decency to do it in private." Sarafina said. Sarabi gave a small nod to show she agreed. She felt to overcome with sadness to do much else.
Sarafina sighed. "Sarabi, maybe we should go, get as far away from the pride lands as possible." She said. Sarabi looked up in surprise. "No," she said quickly. The word had come so quickly it not only surprised Sarafina, but also surprised herself. She shook her head to clear it. "Sorry, the pride lands are my home, I don't think I can leave them..." Sarafina nodded. "It's ok, I sort of said it before I really thought about it. I don't want to leave either."
Sarabi sighed and hung her head. A few tears fell down her cheeks as she looked up at the sky. How could you take Simba from me? My only son, the one true king...Sarabi thought. After a while Sarafina nudged her. "Come on, we should probably head back, I'd rather not get in trouble for being out here when I should be in there..." Sarafina spoke as if she were a cub again, risking getting in trouble with her parents for being out past her curfew. Sarabi shook her head and followed her friend. At least she would have Sarafina and Nala to keep her in good spirits. Without them, she had no idea how she would survive...
