Yes the other lionesses heard her, but there was nothing they could do
about it, plus, don't forget, Howler is there and they all know what he's
capable off. Hope that answered your question, forgot the reviewer sorry...
Chapter 7: Recover
For a long time after Scar and his party had left, Sarabi lay. She was in shock, unable to move at all. Every so often her foot twitched. After an hour or so, Nala came running toward her.
"Sarabi what's wrong?" the sandy young lioness asked, completely ignoring the fact that she'd waken up away from Sarabi. Sarabi remained still, blankly staring ahead, her mouth refused to move. A few tears slid down Nala's cheek. "Sarabi!" She shouted. Sarabi still didn't move.
Breathing hard and getting more and more panicky, Nala grabbed hold of Sarabi's ear and gave it a good tug. Sarabi jerked and made Nala flip over onto her back. Nala gasped as he back hit the cold floor, but she quickly recovered and ran around to the front of Sarabi.
Sarabi looked around a while before her eyes rested on Nala. She smiled slowly. "Nala, oh I'm so glad you're ok," She leaned forward and nuzzled Nala. Nala sighed and nuzzled back. Sarabi sighed, she could not, under any circumstances tell Nala what had happened that night. She shivered a bit. "Nala, let's go out to get a drink, maybe that'll make me feel better." Nala nodded, "Ok," she said. She then bounded ahead.
Sarabi followed along slowly, her legs wobbly and not quite willing to hold her. Her stomach churned at the thought of passing them. She couldn't do it, she couldn't. For a minute she paused, unable to move. Nala stopped and then turned and ran back to Sarabi. She nuzzled her. "Come on Sarabi, let' s go." She said. Sarabi started breathing hard and she looked down at Nala.
She wanted to go back, to crawl into a hole and just hide. Looking at Nala made her think of Sarafina. She took in a shaky breath and knew she had to go. If she didn't get past them now, she never would. She smiled down at Nala. "I think I'm ready now." She said. Nala smiled and then walked by her side the rest of the way.
When they reached the front of the cave, Scar and Howler were there. Howler smiled at her, Scar, his duty done, was passive and not paying her much attention. For this, Sarabi was grateful. Although just walking by him scared her now, for it made her realize how vulnerable she was, and how much power he now held over her. As she walked by Howler, she heard him whisper, "Slut" under his breath. This cut deep. Every part of her wanted to turn and rip into him. But she knew she would lose, especially in the state she was in.
So instead she walked on, down off of pride rock and over to the watering hole. Sarabi collapsed by the water hole. She lay down, letting the sun warm her coat, which was full of dried sweat. Nala sighed. She didn't know what was wrong, but she hoped it was nothing serious.
Sarabi leaned over and lapped up some water. A young lioness named Fern came over. She was timid, but seemed concerned. "Sarabi, I-I heard about last night," she was talking slow, waiting to see Sarabi's reaction. Sarabi flinched at the mention of it. Fern continued, "I I was just wondering if you were alright?" Sarabi looked up at her, and in her eyes Fern got her answer. She nodded, gave the ex-queen a quick nuzzle under the chin and then went off.
Sarabi rolled over onto a laying position and sighed. She put her head on her paws and watched as Nala played in the water. Nala had grown. Her legs had lengthened; her paws had grown a bit bigger. And her eyes had started to turn blue. From behind her Sarabi heard a twig break. She lifted her head and turned, her eyes fixing on Zira, who carried Nuka in her mouth.
Zira put Nuka down and then sat. She smiled slyly at the lioness. "So Sarabi," she said, her eyes twinkling. "That was quite a racket you made last night. Did you have fun?" Sarabi risked a quick glance at Nala, seeing that the cub was paying no attention and having too much fun, she turned back to Zira. She growled, a low menacing growl from deep within. Zira only laughed.
"Don't kid yourself, you can't do anything to me. Scar will have Howler kill you like that," she snapped her paws (how does that work?) and continued, "And you know it." Sarabi continued to growl, but a frown of doubt formed. She knew Zira was right. Every part of her knew it. The growl turned more aggressive and Sarabi stood, glaring at Zira with hatred in her eyes. Zira only smiled.
Sarabi turned and began to walk off, intending to call Nala in a moment. "Oh Sarabi, if you thought this was going to be a one night thing; you were wrong! Scar needs an heir, and since my Nuka wasn't good enough, you're in charge of producing the new heir, so have fun!" With that and a laugh so full of mocking Zira turned, picked up Nuka and walked away.
Meanwhile Sarabi stood, once again feeling as though she were in shock. Her legs felt stuck. She was beginning to wonder what the right thing to do would be. Maybe Sarafina had been right. Maybe she should've left pride rock when Scar came into power...
There, I made it longer. Happy? I hope you all liked this one. Leave a review anyway please! (And I promise no more yucky scenes, at least I think I promise...well I won't go into them so you won't have to worry) anyway hope you enjoyed, I'll type up the next chapter a.s.a.p!
