Chapter 11:

Weeks later at pride rock, Nala awoke as the sun's rays lit the cave that
her, Simba, and the others slept in as a pride. Feeling thirsty, the
lioness stood, stretched, and walked carefully around her sleeping friends
towards the entrance of the cave. Looking back to make sure all was well
before leaving, Nala walked down towards the water hole. Bending her head,
she gazed at her reflection in the clear water. Her green eyes looked
tired to her, and her pregnancy was now visible, the cub or cubs inside of
her moving now and again, then stopping and then picking up there kicks.
Finally drinking, Nala relished the smooth sweet taste of the water, as
well as the moment alone. Thoughts of Vitani floated across her mind, and
the queen tried to push them back as she layed down on her side and sighed.
She hoped to hear something on the progress of the romance between Jabari
and her oldest daughter, but so far there had been nothing reported.

:::

In the Mukoma lands, the future king woke up and walked along his own
watering hole, loving the feel of the soft dirt beneath his paws. It had
been one moon since Vitani's arrival in to his father's pride and Jabari
couldn't help beginning to fall in love with the hard core lioness. On the
surface, Vitani virtually ignored him, brushing past him, moving farther
away from him whenever times arose that the pride needed to gather, and
avoiding him around others. However, Jabari began seeing through her mask;
and when they were alone together, she'd often sit and talk with him, even
going on walks and once, having a water fight. Jabari smiled at the care
free Vitani of that day, there had been a difference in her that he
couldn't place. As he raised his head, the lioness in his thoughts sprung
in to his field of vision.
"Hey Vitani, what's going on?"
He asked, running up to her as she sharpened her claws along the bark of a
tree.
"I'm going hunting," she replied as Jabari sat next to her on the soft
green grass.
"You know," he began, "you still haven't let me watch you hunt."
"You've just never been around," she retorted.
"Can I see you hunt then?"
"Fine, keep low in the grass, don't make a noise, don't move, and do not
try and help me."
Jabari had to hold back a laugh, "yes my queen."
Jabari said sarcastically as Vitani playfully cuffed him;
"Shut up and lets go."

"Slut."
Hazaa sat crouched in the tall grass, just feet away from Vitani and
Jabari, overhearing and seeing what had just taken place. Anger ran in her
blood like a raging river but the young lioness wasn't about rash action,
she was more cunning, more devious than just going out and fighting Vitani.
Seeing the little slut, as Hazaa called her begin her hunt, Hazaa left her
cover and went back to the pride, her head down in thought.
'At least my betrothal to Jabari is finalized, she can take my position as
lead huntress, she can mate with him and produce all the male cubs she
likes, but she'll never be queen.'
Hazaa smiled as these thoughts comforted her as she walked to a crop of
trees and layed down. Raising her ears from her head, she picked up the
voices of Jafari and Kamaria, talking not far off.
"You know Jafari, having those two become betrothed was the greatest idea
you've ever had!"
Kamaria said as she nuzzled her mate;
"Well, she's the best lioness, besides you, that this pride has; and my son
deserves the best," Jafari replied.
Lying under the trees, Hazaa smiled as her pride swelled with in her.
'If only Vitani was here to hear this, then she wouldn't think she is so
special.'
She thought as she giggled, relishing the thoughts as her being Jabari's
queen, having his heirs, and banishing Vitani.
"She'll be the best queen, and with her and Jabari's markings, they'll have
beautiful cubs," Kamaria smiled, "I wish they would pick up the romance a
bit!"
'Hmmm...'
Hazaa thought as she sighed, content mixed with pride showing on her face.
"Well Kamaria, you know Vitani, she's not like Hazaa who goes for my son
just to improve her status," Jafari retorted as Hazaa gasped in shock.
'What?!?!'
Hazaa thought, there conversation running like antelope through her mind;
"Yes Jafari, Vitani will make an excellent queen," Kamaria replied.
In the crop of trees Hazaa stood, rage along with hate coursing through out
her veins as she began running through out the land that should be her own.
"Damn you, you stupid whore!"
Hazaa screamed as her paws dug up dirt and grass as she ran, her extended
claws digging in to the soft earth.
'This is it, you've taken the last and only thing that was mine!!!'
The voice in her head yelled as she kept running, finally collapsing onto a
soft patch of ground.
"You, You'll pay, you'll regret that you ever set paw here!"
Hazaa shouted as she roared, the realization that her world is gone hitting
her.
