*~*~*~*~~*~*~*~~*

Chapter 3:

The savanna sun rose as Simba walked out onto pride rock, looking down, he
saw his queen sleeping, her head on her paws.
"Nala?"
Simba whispered, nudging her cheek, "Nala, wake up."
"Hmmm?"
Simba licked her cheek as she opened her eyes, "Simba, did i sleep out
here?"
"Yes, don't do that, you could rool right off the edge, I don't know what
I'd do if I lost you."
"It hasn't happened yet," Nala replied as she got to her paws, "are you
hungry?"
"No, you?"
"No, not feeling well," Nala said as she nuzzled her mate.
As the two kissed, ((a lion's way of kissing, how does that work, anyway?
lol)), Zazu flew down, landing on Simba's shoulder making him jerk from
Nala.
"What did I do?"
Nala inquired, as she looked up and spotted Zazu, "oh."
"Good morning sir!"
Zazu exclaimed as both Simba and Nala quickly frowned;
"Just checking in with the morning report."
"Alright," Simba said, "Nala, I'll be right back, going to check the
boarders."
At Nala's nod, the bird and king took off for the waterhole, as Nala sat
down on the rock.
"Queen Nala?"
The lioness jumped at Vitani's voice, "yes Vitani?"
"Can I go to the wateringhole, I mean, well," Vitani stopped and sat down,
"I'm not used to asking permision for doing stuff."
Nala chuckled, "Vitani, you can come and go as you please, you can drink,
eat, and sleep whenever you like, we aren't tirents."
"Yeah, I figured that, Kiara, she's had the good life."
"What do you mean?"
"Her mother wasn't crazy, that enough?"
"Kiara wasn't so shal I say, happy all the time," Nala smiled in
rememberance, "I remember this one time, Kiara and this male cub, Tano went
off exploring; well, guess where they ended up?"
Nala paused, "the elephant graveyard, it was so dark as I remember, Simba
and I had followed them at a distance, and when they thought they were
going to get away with it, we pounced."
"Wow, what did you guys do to them when you brought them back?"
"Well, Simba cuffed her pretty good for that little stunt, he has only done
that twice and the only reason he did that was because she disobeyed him
twice and that was her third time. Oh yes, Kiara was a stubborn little
cub."
Vitani smiled, "I guess not everything in the princess's world was all
sunshine and smiles. Zira never needed a reason to slap any of us, she
just did it when we pissed her off."
By that time, Vitani's tone took on an angry edge and Nala crindged from
the sound of it.
"I'm ahh, sorry about that, she said she'd treat you well."
"Huh?"
Vitani asked, turning to face the queen, "what was that?"
"Nothing, I didn't say...."
"What?"
Vitani asked, "what, I wasn't queen material so you gave me to her?"
Nala's jaw dropped, "wha, what, huh, no I didn't do that..."
"Then why did you say, she said she'd treat me well?"
Nala sighed and glanced down at her paws, hoping, praying for some natural
disaster to hit the pride lands, but none came.
"Well Nala?"
"Look, Vitani, I don't know how to tell you this, the truth is I thought
I'd never have to tell you."
Nala brased herself for what was about to come and took a deep breath,
letting it out slowly before continuing, "Vitani, Zira isn't your birth
mother, I am. I, I didn't even name you, I gave you up to the Kani lands
when you were just a few days old."
Nala stopped and studdied Vitani's reaction, but when it was unreadable,
she got to her paws and backed somewhat away, "Vitani, I thought I was
doing the right thing, Scar was king and we bearly had enough food or water
for ourselves, let alone enough to keep me nursing you. I don't know if
you know, but if a mother doesn't get enough nutrition then her milk could
dry up and the cub could starve to death and...."
"Save it," Vitani's voice cut through the air like a knife, "was Nuka
yours, Kovu?"
"No, just you."
"Scar was my father? Then I suppose he'd want a male heir."
"Yes," Nala replied as she made her way towards the stairlike rocks that
lead to the bottom of the huge structure.
"You still could've stayed with me in those lands," Vitani said,
straightening herself and walking a few steps towards Nala,as the queen
backed carefully up and looked at her biological daughter, "look, I had to
find help."
"So you could've come back for me, you took the easy way out, you're just
like that," she paused, "I guess that when Simba came back and picked you
for his mate, you forgot to mention that you were his uncle's play thing,
forgot me, didn't care about me."
Nala's eyes brimmed with tears, "I did what I thought was best."
"You did what benifited you!"
Vitani shouted as Nala stepped back as a strong wave of nausia hit her,
making her lose her balance and slip off of pride rock, clinging onto the
ledge by her claws as the feeling ingolfed her.
"Simba!!"
Nala screamed, "Simba, Simba, someone!!!!"
Vitani stood, a look of horor across her face, "Vitani," Nala gasped,
"please help," she whispered. In seconds, Vatani stood, reaching her paw
down for Nala to grab on to, as the queen grabbed it, Vitani extended her
claws, gazing in to Nala's eyes.
"I could drop you," she said through clenched teeth as Nala's mouth gaped
in horor.
"Sooooomeonne!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Nala screamed, as Simba heard his mate's cries for help, he swiftly turned
and ran, full speed towards pride rock, his heart leaping in his throat at
the site of his beloved danggling off of pride rock's ledge. Allowing his
eyes to travel, he saw Vitani standing on top of the structure, Nala's paw
in her tight grasp. Vitani however, kept her hold on Nala's paw as her
claws dug into tender skin and pulled her up onto pride rock.
"Maybe you have an idea of the pain I feel now, mother," Vitani spat as
Nala landed on the hard surface at her daughter's feet. By this time,
Simba bounded up the steps as he wasted no time charging at Vitani,
knocking her down at full force.
"You," he said, his voice low and cold, "we let you in our pride and you
try to murder the queen?!"
He inquired, pressing his paws down on Vitani's chest, "it, it, wasn't like
that."
"What's going on?!"
Simba looked up to see Kiara and Kovu along with the rest of there pride
standing behind them, "you, where the hell were you? Your mother is
screaming for help and you show up now?!?!?!"
"Simba," Nala said, but the king continued, "or, did you have something to
do with it?!?!?!"
Simba shouted at Kovu, making the younger lion gasp, "do with what, sir?"
Kovu asked, trying to remain calm.
"Simba!"
Nala tried again, but the king, seeing only rage, pressed harder on the
lioness's chest, "I, I didn't do anything, I was trying to help her!"
"Silance!!!"
Simba roared as Vitani's eyes went wide, "Simba, I swear I didn't!"
"Simba!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Nala shouted, as the king finally turned his eyes upon her, "Nala, tell me
what happened."
"Get off Vitani, she's telling the truth, and opologize to Kovu," Nala
retorted as Simba got off the lioness and walked towards his daughter's
future husband, "I'm sorry Kovu, I don't know what got in to me."
"Rage, anger, fear...."
Kiara began but Kovu quickly hushed her, "its alright Simba, I don't even
know what you're acusing me of, but its ok."
"No, its not, Nala," he turned towards his wife, "what happened?"
"I told Vitani the truth and we, exchanged some words and as I got up to
leave, I felt this sick feeling come over me and I lost my balance, Vitani
pulled me back from falling."
Simba's eyes flickered from his mate to Vitani, then back towards Nala,
"Zazu, go get Rafiki."
The blue hornbill quickly took flight towards Rafiki's tree, "Simba, I'm
fine, why are you sending for Rafiki?"
"So he can check on you," Simba said as he sighed and nuzzled Nala.
"You told her?"
Simba whispered;
At Nala's nod, he motioned for everyone to go inside the cavern, "my pride,
we'll explain all of this after Rafiki exammens Nala."
"I'm going for a drink," Vitani said as she got up and ran to the
wateringhole, concealing her tears.
