The Lion King 3: Tirana & Chike ch. 3

HL: here is ch. 3 of TLK 3

Disclaimer: same as the last 2

Tirana ran as fast as she could, she had enough of it, being alone. You wouldn't be alone if you stayed with Chike, Ebere, Faraji, Essien, and Femi. A voice inside her head said.Tirana shook her head No I can't stay with them I can make it on my own! She thought to herself. She ran deep into the Serengeti and looked back. She could no longer see Pride Rock…she could no longer see anything familiar to her. She panted and her eyes scanned nervously. Oh no…fool! I should of stayed within sight of it…where am I? She scanned again. There were no longer any watering holes, grass, zebras or anything. She began to panic and saw a small oasis and ran towards it. She laid under the tree as tears started falling out of her eyes and rolling down her cheeks causing them to stain her fur.

Not far Ebere and Femi where watching her. They sat on a rock perched on the grass lands, "Fool…she's too delusional to notice she's not far from the Pride Lands." Femi said.

Ebere looked at the younger lioness, "Femi, Tirana was distraught, she ran out here now all we have to do is wait for Chike, startle the elephants, making them charge. Hopefully, they'll run over Chike and kill him. If that doesn't work, Faraji will come out here and do it himself." Femi nodded.

"I know Ebere…I know." She said sadly. Faraji had changed ever since they left the Pride. Ebere was still the same, but it was Faraji that had worried her a lot, because he was so fixed on killing Chike when he told them that he saw Reama's daughter not to long ago and it took him till now to save her. Brother…please…watch over Faraji…he needs you more then ever now. She thought to herself.

Ebere looked at Femi and sighed, off in the distance, not to far though, she could see the unmistakable form of Chike. Ebere cuffed Femi gently knocking her off the rock and she jumped down.

"What the heck did you do that for!?!" Femi asked.

"Chike is on his way…we should get going." Ebere said. Femi nodded and they both went towards the elephant herd.

-Chike-

"Tirana!!! Tirana!!" Chike called jumping onto the rock that Ebere and Femi hadn't been on too long ago. Where could she of gone too? He thought to himself. He looked around then jumped down from the rock. He walked for awhile and saw an oasis An oasis???? Oh no…Tirana…she's seeing things…but if I can see it…maybe it's not. He ran towards it but when he got there it was just an illusion. He walked foreword and saw Tirana laying in the sand. He went over and nudged her with his muzzle, "Tirana…." He whispered. Tirana stirred and opened her eyes, "Chike?" she said weakly. Chike put her on his back and shifted her by bumping his back against her stomach so her paws were in front of him. He started running. Ebere roared from one side of the elephant herd and Femi roared from the back. The elephants started going towards the other way but Ebere moved to that side and roared forcing them to go straight towards Chike and Tirana.

Femi ran to Ebere's side, "Come Femi. We'll go back and tell Faraji that Chike is presumed dead." She said and both lionesses took off.

Chike saw the herd of elephants coming his way, he had two choices, run away further into the Serengeti or get Tirana to a water hole and fast before she died from heat exhaustion and dehydration. I'm going to be a fool doing this…but…it's for Tirana's life…he thought to himself. He sighed and roared running and dodging the elephants feet. He could feel Tirana slipping off his back and he bumped her back on as he kept running. As he kept going an elephant kicked his side making him fall and Tirana fly off his back and she laid motionless in the stampede. When Chike stood he noticed Tirana wasn't near him. Oh no…he ran the other way to see if he could find the lioness. The elephants kept trumpeting and bringing their heavy feet to the ground. Chike was sure the young lioness wasn't alive if one of them stepped on her or if all of them did.

The elephants stopped as they disappeared. Chike started looking all over the place for Tirana and dug in the sand, "Tirana? Tirana where are you!?!" He called after unsuccessful searching. He blinked back tears as he laid down, Tirana…. Faraji, Ebere, and Femi appeared and saw Chike, alive. Faraji growled and went to pounce, but he didn't see Tirana anywhere.

He walked over to Chike and growled swatting him, "Where's Tirana?" He asked with a cold voice. Chike looked at him, "She's gone…" he whispered. Femi, Ebere, and Faraji went wide eyed.

"Gone…you mean she…" Femi looked at Ebere and Ebere looked at her. "She's dead alright? There's nothing we can do!" Chike said standing and bounding off away from his friends. Faraji watched after Chike. Tirana…gone…that couldn't be. Unless he dropped her. Faraji growled again. That damn idiot let her die. He watched as Chike ran further into the Serengeti. Tch…I'll let the heat kill you…for what you've done to Tirana is enough reason for you to die. He thought as he walked back with Ebere and Femi.

-Out in the Serengeti-

Tirana panted while she limped. She was way out in the Serengeti and the heat was unbearable. Chike…help me…She thought to herself before passing out in the heat.
