Chapter Sixteen: The Accident Follow By A Confession
Banzai POV
I woke the next morning to see my mom and sisters still soundly asleep. My dad was already gone, that was normal, nearly everyday my dad wakes up very early in the morning to get the first drink at the water hole. I squirmed out of my mother's arm and quietly walked out of my cave. I took a deep breath of fresh rainfall air. Pikco was right last night it rained and it rained a lot. The land was muddy and slippery.
(Remember to meet Pikco and the others at the cliff around noon) my brain said
"I know, I know, now shut up" I said
I walked over to the water hole and saw my father drinking some water. I smirked and hid behind some trees. Lately my father was teaching me the pouncing lesson, and I progress was everything but good, but I kept on trying. I held my breath and got in to the pouncing position and charge towards him playfully growling. He calmly leaned to the left making me fall in to the water. He picked me up out on the water hole and sat me down next to him.
"You still need practice son" he chuckle
I sat there with a pouted face and shook my body to dry up. "Good morning to you too dad"
"Your up pretty early, why is that"
(Because I was too excited to sleep since I was thinking about nothing but the plan that Pikco told me) I thought "I couldn't sleep"
He nodded and continue to drink some water " so what are you going to do for today" he asked
The thing I hate about being a lackey is that never see my parents that much, low class hyenas always gets scarps of meat and with a big family like mine, my parents and even Banya are gone most of the day to find food. I was always left with Mil and Til who were still not ready to hunt yet. "I don't know, I'll probably go see what my friends are doing" I said as we walked back to the cave.
"Ok, your mother, Banya and I are going out to fine breakfast, whenever they wake up" he said
I smiled, like my mother, nothing ever bothers him. He was happy even though we live in poor conditions I call it. I think it was only me who didn't like my class rank yet I didn't like the alphas. I told this my dad a few times and he always told me that one day something will help you fine whatever your looking for in your life. Again I was confuse but just nodded.
Hours past, my parents and Banya went off with some other hyenas to fine food and I was stuck with my annoying twin sisters. I looked up at the sun it was only twenty minutes before noon and I had to get away. I looked back at my sister who were talking about something.
"Mil, Til, do you think I can go see what my friends are doing" I asked
"First of all where are you meeting them" Mil asked
"Um...just going to a certain place" I said smiling
Til sigh "Banzai, you got to make up a better excuse then that"
"Yeah, just say your going to play a prank on the alphas with your friends to get revenge on all those times they beat you to a bloody pulp" Mil said calmly
damn their good I thought "And your not going to stop me"
"No, just make sure you hit them once for us" Til said
I was shocked and I asked why. "Nobody calls us fat and gets away with it but we'll let you do the dirty work"
"Gee, thanks oh kind and lovable sisters" I said sarcastically
They gave me a cold stare and I ran off as quick as I can before they changed their minds. I raced through the large land my clan lives in, which was mudding and wet. I spotted the cliff where my friends were meeting at and slowly walked up to the top trying not to get caught by some of the alphas that were staring to show up for their daily challenges. By the time I got up the cliff Pikco and Mojay.
"Its about time you got here, where you been" Pikco said
I noticed that Picko's eye was getting a lot worst, the black and blue was showing not to mention the swelling, I didn't want to say anything since he was older then me and I didn't want to get hurt. Mojay was a lot worst, bruises, bite marks, scratches covered his entire body, his lips were swollen but he manage to smile.
"Boy, these beating are getting worst" I said
"That's why its time to take action and I learn the only thing that hurts the teen alphas more is their pride"
"I don't get it" Mojay asked
"I mean that they hate being embarrasses in front of the females" Pikco explained
"So what was the plan again" I asked
"We're going to throw mud balls at them but these mud balls are fill with any rotten, smelly disgusting thing we could fine and once Askca and Todei comes back with the ultimate mud ball we'll be set."
"Awkward plan but very cool" I said
"Good, then why don't you see if the two main bastards shown up yet." Pikco said
I rolled my eyes and climbed up the large rock that was blocking the alphas from seeing us. I lay low to the rock and saw Rawlo and Curon talking to the Matriarch's daughter Kari.
"What luck their here and talking to Kari." I said
"Awesome and here comes the other two"
I slid down the rock and saw Todei, who had a two black eyes and bruises, and his twin sister Askca coming by rolling a giant mud ball while holding their breaths
"Yuck, that thing stinks" I said
"Duh. That mud ball is fill with fish guts and parts of a rottening corpse" Pikco smirk
"Is all of them there" Askca asked "I sick an tire of them beating up my brother"
"I would rather take the punches then seeing you get hurt" Todei said
"Yeah, there all here" I said
"Cool, if we're lucky they might blame each other for the mud and next thing we know there going to be bloodshed" Mojay smirked
"Banzai, go check again are they close by the cliff" Askca asked
I climbed up the rock again and saw that Rawlo, Curon, and Kari talking just a few feet away from the cliff, others were fighting while some were resting and talking to each other. I nodded and my friends smirk.
"Heads up" I heard and the next thing I knew I saw a mud ball flying over me and falling towards Rawlo.
Rawlo was I guess flirting with Kari but the way she looked she was bored of him. Curon heard something falling and turn to see a mud ball slamming in the back of Rawlo's head. He collapsed to the floor and Kari started laughing.
"Hey, Pikco that looked like just a regular mud ball" I said
'Trust me my friend, some of that wasn't mud" he laughed
It hit me "your disgusting" I said
"Dude, you smell like shit" I heard Curon laughing while Kari and some of the others alphas laughing. The next thing I knew I was dozen of mud balls flying above me and begin hitting the alphas. They were thrown blindly at the alphas but I was shocked because they were making direct hits. Soon the Alpha begin to panicked and were confused about where the mud was coming from not to mention the horrible smell. I begin to laugh from all the commotion, alphas bumping in to each other, crashing in to things from the slippery mud. Kari manage to avoid getting hit and saw Rawlo and Curon getting ran over by the others or getting hit by mud. Some of them started to blame on each other and begin to fight.
"You guys got to see this" I shouted laughing
"Banzai get down here, we're letting you throw the Ultimate Mud Ball of Doom" Mojay said
"Don't have to be so dramatic Mojay" Todei said
I smiled and slid down again, I grabbed the mud ball and we all held our breath, the smell was so terrible.
"Hit Rawlo with this and I swear he never going to get that smell off of him for the rest of his life" Pikco said holding his nose.
"This is like the most honorable thing I ever done" I said "I also doing this for my sisters, Mil and Til"
"That's so sweet" Askca said
We continue to hear the commotion of the alphas, I took a deep breath and with a little prayer I toss the ball over me with all my might and waited , hoping it will land on Rawlo. Suddenly everything went quiet and we all became confuse.
"What happen" Mojay asked
"Go check Banzai" Todei said
I tried to climb up the rock again but the mud on my paws made it slippery. "Help me up, will you" I said
Pikco and Mojay grabbed my back legs and lifted me up over the rock, "stop" I said because I was about to fall off the cliff if they push me even further.
"Well, what happen"
My jaw dropped nearly to the floor, all the alphas stopped what they were doing to stare at Kari, who's face was covered in the mud ball that I threw. Mud and fish guts dripped to the floor and she was trembling.
"Oh my god, I hit Kari" I said
"WHAT!" my friends said letting me go. I slid down off the rock and fell to the bottom of the cliff, a painful smacking noise filled my ears and the pain went all through my body. When I got my face out on the mud, my eyes grew very wide when I realize all the alphas were staring at me and Rawlo and Curon were coming closer to me.
"Well, I think I know who started this mud thing" Rawlo said
Curon growled "and you know what happen to lackeys who plays prank on the Alphas"
I swallow a huge lump in my throat but I realize they were the least of my problems, when Kari literally shoved the males out of the way. I saw red in her eyes as she wiped the mud off her face.
"DAMN YOU BANZAI" She roared and it echo through the area.
(This is the time you should run Banzai...NOW) my mine said
"Shit" I said and ran off farther away from my cave with Kari and the others chasing after me.
"GET BACK HERE YOU LITTLE PEST" I heard her shouting.
I ran as fast as I can from the top of a small hill I saw my friends following me,
"Banzai, run toward the mountain" Pikco shouted
"We're going to hide" Mojay said
Some friends they were, back-stabbers, leaving me here to die by being tear to shreds. I saw the mountain nearby, I was forbidden to go there, with the rain pouring last night, the mountain was slippery and there was a lot of lose rocks. But maybe I can find a small hole to hid in till my parents realize I been gone for awhile. I reach a dead end and looked back to see Kari approaching me with the others behind her. I looked up the mountain it was easy for me to climbed but I was sure how safe it was yet I think it was a lot safer then what was approaching me.
(Here's goes nothing) I thought and begin to climb up the mountain believing they wouldn't follow me.
"Oh come on Banzai, you can't escape from me that easily" Kari said.
I looked down and saw Kari jumping toward the nearest rock, this female was insane, I panicked and begin to climbed further up the mountain.
"Wait here, we'll bring that little sucker down" I heard Rawlo saying to the others. I looked down again to see Rawlo and Curon climbing up as well with the other cheering them on to get me.
Kari was getting closer and I was getting tire. I felt my paws slipping form the mud so I grabbed hold of a small rock sticking out. My back paws were dangling in the air and then that's when I felt someone grabbing them.
"Got you, you little pest" Kari growled. I had to hold my breath from the awful smell that was soaking in to her fur.
"Look, I'm sorry, just don't hurt me" I said
Kari pulled on to my legs and I gripped tighter on the rock yet I felt it becoming lose.
"Get him Kari, at this height he'll die from falling" Rawlo said standing on one of the rocks while Curon saw still climbing for a better view.
"Shut up, what do you think I'm trying to do" Kari shouted.
She yanked on my legs again ready to send me to my death of eight weeks old. All I remember was the rock I was holding on to was pulled out, then seeing others rocks tumbling towards me and the others. I heard the sounds of screaming and "oh my god" before I felt my self falling. I closed my eyes and felt something hitting on my head then I past out.
"Then what happen" Shenzi asked
Banzai sigh "I woke up badly injured in my mother arms. I looked around and saw piles of rocks everywhere then I saw some of the clan surrounding the Matriarch as she tried to revive her daughter. It seems that when I pulled that rock out, that little rock was supporting the other rocks. I cause a rock slide and I killed Kari and Curon, Rawlo survive but he was badly injured as well. Everybody pointed the finger at me, the Matriarch was furious and wanted me dead. M mother and whole family begged her not to do it. Yet I knew if I wasn't killed my whole family had to take the punishment. So I struggle out of my mother's arm and ran off in to the jungle with the Matriarch following. I remember tumbling down a hill and falling in to a river. She thought I was dead so she never went after me again."
Ed jaw was dropped and his eyes were wide (insane) he thought
Shenzi just stood there not knowing what to say or do. She saw Banzai was hurting inside "Banzai?" she tried to say something
"Excuse me" he said and walked off.
Shenzi knew he wanted to be alone, it took a lot of guts for him to tell his story.
An hour past and Shenzi managed to get Ed to fall asleep in the tall grass.
"Night Shenzi"Ed smiled and curled up in a little ball
"Good night Ed" shenzi said then went off to search for Banzai.
It didn't take her that long to find him near a small twiggy tree staring at the stars. Banzai was in deep thought as he remember that day, he denied that fact that it was a accident but it was his fault those two hyenas were dead.
"Hey?" Shenzi said in a soft voice
Banzai turned his had and tried to smile "hey" he said in a soft voice a well. He waited till she sat down next to him and then there was a long pause.
"That story was true, your not making this up" Shenzi asked in a whisper tone
"I'm not lying, I'm a murderer"
"No your not, it was an accident, you didn't to kill the matriarch"
Banzai sigh "but I felt guilty, this is going to hunt me for the rest of my life and I didn't even had chance to say goodbye to my family."
"Do you really hate the alphas and the matriarch because not all of them are the same in every clan"
"Yes they are, that's why I'm glad you're a lackey as well"
Shenzi tried to smile but she couldn't instead she had to know about something "Banzai, I know you told your story and all but is there something else bothering you"
"No, what's gives you that idea" he said raising his voice a little bit
"I'm not stupid Banzai, I been around a lot of males in my life mostly my brother and his friends and I can always tell what bothering them"
"Again nothing is bothering me" he said
"And you being jealous of Ed for some reason isn't bothering you" Shenzi said calmly
"What ever gave you that stupid idea that I was jealous of Ed" he shouted in her face but she still remain calmed, Shenzi was never those types that loses her composer.
"Banzai" Shenzi said crossing her arms giving him a icy glared.
"Why would I be jealous of him, I mean he keeps hogging all of your attention, being clumsy around you, crying like a baby so you could hold him saying everything will be all right, taking his side of our arguments, giving him all the smiles, laugher, joy and attention while leaving me out in the cold like I was nothing but a waste of space! IT DROVE ME NUTS!" Banzai holler and he calm down a bit waiting for Shenzi response. Banzai's eyes grew wide when he heard her laughing literally falling to the floor holding her stomach form the pain of laugher.
"What the hell is so funny Shenzi, I'm here pouring out my misery and your laughing"
Shenzi stood up "I'm sorry Banzai, but I can't believe your jealous of Ed" she said "and I guess your right, maybe I had been giving him too much attention but if you were in his paws, how would you react of you were taken out of the human world, where you were raise you whole life, and trying to survive the wild" Shenzi said "I'm just trying to comfort him till he can get use to his new life style"
(She had a point) Banzai thought "Its just that I lost my family and I was so alone then when you arrived in to my life, I didn't want to lose you or shared"
Banzai begin to blush when Shenzi leaned over an hugged him. "Your not going to lose me" she said making him smiled
"Be nice to Ed and I'll make sure I give you and Ed equal attention." Shenzi said
"Ok" Banzai said then he wonder "did you kiss him like you did to me"
Shenzi pushed him to the floor and sigh angrily "you had to ruin this friendship moment"...
