A/N: You all know and I know that I should've updated DAYS ago, but once again, I've been ultra-busy. But now the wait is over! Here it is, Chapter Sixteen at last!
Chapter Sixteen: Visions
The sky was a cloudless soft blue color and the sun was a beautiful golden orb hanging in it. The grass beneath it was a wondrous green; the trees all around were ornamented to match the grass. And there Kiara stood, squinting into the distance, watching as a large object slowly appeared into view out of thin air. The object resembled a massive rock that was pointed at the top. Could it be….no, it couldn't. But as the image became clearer, Kiara came to realize that it was her home. Her heart fluttered. Finally, after so long, there it was. Pride Rock, standing out proudly, just waiting for her.
Home!, she thought merrily, as she started running toward it. She couldn't believe it, she was home at last. She could hardly wait to see her parents, or the entire pride. Just the mere thought of them caused her to gain great speed; she just couldn't wait to see their faces again.
Suddenly, out of nowhere, the blackest clouds Kiara had ever seen loomed across the sky, darkening everything with its great shadow. As soon as the sun was hidden, lightning struck, and the loudest clap of thunder boomed. Kiara continued to run, wanting to get home sooner. However, the faster she ran, the farther away Pride Rock seemed to be. She wasn't getting anywhere at all, in fact, it felt as if she wasn't moving at all.
Lightning flashed again, striking Pride Rock. Flames rose from the ground, surrounding the immense structure. Kiara gasped and made an abrupt stop as a familiar cold cackle filled the air. One minute, all was perfect, then the next everything suddenly went wrong. Her home was in flames and Zira was nearby; she could feel her presence. Again the icy cackle resounded in her ears, sending chills down her spine. What's going on?, she thought frantically.
''Well if it isn't the precious Princess,'' sneered that unfriendly voice behind her. Kiara turned to see her and her posse approach her, appearing out of nowhere just as Pride Rock had. Her eyes were glowing a vicious red color, making Kiara feel small and insignificant. She knew that she was in trouble now for escaping. She wanted to cry out for help, but who would come for her? No one else could be seen anywhere.
Then she remembered Kovu. Where was he? Kiara opened her mouth to call him, but no sound came out. It was as if she lost her voice. Zira and her companions drew closer, surrounding her; there was no escape.
''It's time I finally finish you off. Your family has finally been eliminated. Now it's your turn to go!'' Zira threatened, less than a foot away from Kiara.
The ground suddenly began to shake fiercely. A crack formed in the grass and the ground split apart. Kiara's heart pounded harshly as the crack made its way toward her. The earth opened and she could feel her paws give way. Down she fell, darkness swallowing her. The last thing she could hear was Zira's evil laughter. She opened her mouth to scream, but still nothing came out. She shut her eyes tight, knowing that it was the end for her.
