Chapter 6
The weeks passed and the pride had to keep moving farther and farther into the jungle. Every time they found a spot that seemed rid of humans, the humans would find them.
Sarabi sighed; she was beginning to think there was no way they would ever escape. She sighed. The thought of returning to the pride lands hung in the air like a rain cloud. Sarabi shook her head. She wasn't going back, so why did it keep haunting her? "Kitoko was born to rule," Rafiki's words repeated themselves once more.
"Mom? You coming?" Kitoko asked, stopping midstep to make sure Sarabi was ok. Sarabi looked up. "Yeah, go ahead." She said, starting to walk again. Kitoko smiled and then bounded ahead, cuffing Raimi playfully as she passed him.
Raimi growled and chased after her. They played tag for a while. Sarabi tipped her ears back and then up, listening intently. She stopped, holding her paw in the air as she looked around. She held her nose to the air and took a sniff. She couldn't' smell any humans.
Sarabi shook her head again and then trotted over to where Raimi and Kitoko had found a nice river to play in. She sighed and then found a nice sunny rock to lie on. Her tail twitched as she watched Raimi and Kitoko.
Kitoko splashed Raimi and Raimi pounced at her. The two rolled in the water, laughing as they did so. Sarabi sighed and then found a smile tugging at her lips. She remembered when she and Mufasa were like that. Always playing with each other, always getting into trouble. Sarabi smiled again. And then there was Scar, who had hated Mufasa from the start. He had always tried to ruin their fun, always tried to find a way to get them in trouble.
Sarabi growled at the memory. She shook her head and focused on Raimi and Kitoko. Suddenly Kitoko stiffened, the hair on her back standing straight up. She sniffed the air and then froze. "MOM! LOOK OUT!" She yelled. Sarabi turned and gasped. Right behind her stood the human, thunder stick raised and pointed straight at her. "Run!" She yelled to them. She got up and started to run to.
Something inside her snapped as she heard a bang and saw a bullet go whizzing past her. Sarabi turned and roared, a roar that echoed through the jungle. Sarabi charged after the human. When she was within pouncing distance she did so. The human was quicker. He pulled the trigger and Sarabi went down with a yelp.
From on the other side of the river, trying to climb the steep embankment Kitoko stopped. "Mom!" she yelled, knowing right away what had happened. "Kitoko no, we have to get out of here before he gets us to!" Raimi yelled, nipping Kitoko's paw to get her attention. "Ah!" Kitoko yelped, licking her paw. "We can't just leave her," she argued. "We have no choice, come on Kitoko!" Raimi pushed her with his head and they scampered up the bank.
The reached the top just as another bang went off. "Go!" Raimi yelled, giving Kitoko a push. Kitoko accidentally tripped him with her back paw and both fell down the other side of the hill. "Raimi!" Kitoko yelled. She rolled and somersaulted down the hill a little before hitting her head hard on a rock. Then her vision swam for a minute before she fell unconscious.
"Kitoko, Kitoko get up!" Raimi said once they reached the bottom. He nudged Kitoko. "Come on," Kitoko's eyes opened slowly. Her head was throbbing and her body ached. It felt as though every bone in her body had been broken. "Raimi, is she really?" Kitoko asked. Raimi sighed sadly and shook his head. Kitoko put her head on her paws as a few tears traveled down her cheeks.
"Kitoko, come on, we have to get out of here." Raimi said. Kitoko looked up at him. "No," she said. "Kitoko! Do you want to die to?" Raimi said harshly. Kitoko glared at him. "I'm sorry, but we have to get out of here." Kitoko nodded and slowly brought herself to her feet. Spots swam before her eyes for a minute. "Come on," Raimi said, urging her to get moving.
"Run!" Raimi yelled. He glanced back and saw a human at the top of the embankment. Kitoko saw him to. In her eyes burned hatred. She growled low and menacingly. "Kitoko no! He'll kill you in a heartbeat, let's go!" He nipped her and forced to move, staying a little behind her as they ran, shots following them.
