Sarabi sat on the promontory, she sighed as she remembered that she had to tell her son about her and his now deceased uncle's relationship. She felt someone nuzzle her cheek and she turned her gaze towards the figure, it was Sarafina.
"Are you going to tell him?" She asked her friend quietly as not to wake the rest of the pride.
Sarabi only nodded her head in affirmation, "don't worry, I am sure Simba will understand." Sarafina told her troubled friend reassuringly.
"I hope your right Saffy, I hope your right." Sarabi's voice sounded strange in her ears as she spoke to her friend.
Sarafina only nodded and left, Sarabi sighed again, oh, Mufasa! What should I do?
Simba awoke to find his beloved mate at his side, how could things be so perfect? He realised he was very lucky to have Nala, not only as his mate but also as his friend. He realised how lucky he was to have two very good friends, Timon and Pumbaa. He realised how lucky he was to have two great, caring and loving parents to help him through life. Nothing could ruin his life now, nothing could.
Simba gently rose up from his sleeping spot and walked outside to welcome the new day, he inhaled deeply and glanced over his kingdom. His kingdom, it used to belong to his father, Mufasa. And then that tyrant, that murderer, his very own uncle, Scar. Why was his uncle so consumed by hatred for his father? Why did Scar hate him so much? Why did his uncle murder his father? Why? All these questions welled in Simba's mind, why? Simba shook his head to get the questions out of his head. He glanced at the promontory and noticed that his mother was sitting on the edge looking over the lands. He walked over to her and nuzzled her cheek affectionately.
"Morning mom!" He purred.
"Morning, my son I have something important to tell you." It was now or never.
Simba looked at his mother confused, "what is it?" He asked her.
"Let's go somewhere where we will not get disturbed." She said as she walked off, followed behind her was Simba looking very curious at his mother's actions.
Nala awoke to find her mate gone, she sighed and stretched. She walked out onto the promontory where she ran across Timon and Pumbaa.
"Morning Mam, have you seen Simba?" Asked Timon.
Nala shook her head in reply, "I was hoping if he was with you."
"Haven't seen him all morning." Pumbaa informed her.
Odd! I wonder where he could be?
She turned her attention to Timon and Pumbaa but found that they had disappeared. Nala sighed, and walked off towards the watering hole hoping to find her mate there.
"So what is it you want to talk about mom?" Asked Simba curiously, "Your not dying are you?"
Sarabi laughed, "no my son, I'm not." Simba released a sigh of relief.
"Well what is it then?" He asked her.
Sarabi sighed, it was now or never.
"It's about your uncle." Simba looked at his mother with a frown, "I don't want to know about that murderer." He informed her coldly.
"But-" she was cut off from a loud roar from her son.
"No!" And he stormed off.
Sarabi shed a single tear, I have to tell him…
Nala arrived at the watering hole to find her beloved not there, before she could head back to Pride Rock she felt nausea and fainted on the ground.
Simba arrived back at Pride Rock full of anger, but it quickly melted when he saw his two friends, "what are you two doing?"
"Searching." They answered simply.
Simba rolled his eyes, "searching for whom?"
"Nala." Timon said simply, "have you seen her? Sarafina's been looking for her all day and she hasn't been seen."
Simba gasped, no!
The young King rushed to the promontory and roared loudly, "My Pride, find Nala." He then ran off into the lands to search for his Queen, only fearing that she would be in deep trouble if no one would find her.
Sorry I haven't updated, I've been busy.
