Chapter Sixteen: The Truth And Names Exposed
She struggled out of the graveyard without getting caught by her "friends" or the others to got her in to this mess. He stomach was soaked in blood and the pain of the gashes was enough to make you want to scream.
Doesn't matter now, she has a job to do, a job she should've done a long, long time ago. She stopped when she say Shenzi leaning against a small rock with her head resting on the top. Shenzi was looking out at the dead land with the sense of lost hope.
Secret could tell just by looking at her that she too lost her light. There was no such thing of light in the darkness anymore. She walked over to Shenzi while promising herself she will not cry or breakdown.
"Shenzi?" she said taking long deep breaths from the lack of blood and the first time feeling of anger boiling inside of her.
Shenzi didn't move or looked up, all she said was "not now Secret, I'm not in the mood to talk" she said in a sad depressing voice.
Secret bit her lip, took one deep breath and said "My name... is Silet"
There, the name is out. The one secret she hold her whole life was out. Shenzi shot up from her depression "what did you say" she asked as she slowly turned around to look at her. She was shocked when she saw her freshly injured.
"My real name is Silet, that's silent without the "n" she said as her eyes begin to tear up.
"What happen to you" Shenzi shouted and ran over to her. "How did you get injured, who did this to you"
"Don't worry about that, I need you to come with me, there is something I need to tell you" she said
"What is it, why can't you tell me here" she asked "did you just say your real name"
"Please" Silet said with tears running down her cheek as she tugged on Shenzi's arm to move "please, I'll tell you if you would just follow me"
Shenzi didn't know what was going on or tried not to question the hyena's name but what she saw in her eyes it must be something very important. She followed her seeing small drops of blood falling to the floor.
Ed collapsed to the floor from exhaustion. For half an hour the lion has been chasing him around the desert and teasing him by inflicting little cuts here and there. He ran south east instead of southwest like Bnazai did and from far away he saw a small patch of greenery and hopefully a place to hide out of now.
He can feel the lion pacing back and forth, waiting for him to get up and move "come on, if you don't move I'll just end your life now" Alzon grinned with drool dripping down his chin.
Ed looked back and got up as quickly as he can. The sand wasn't good for his open wounds anyway and he wasn't ready to die. The lion stared down as the injured hyena waiting for him to make the next move. Ed looked at the patch of greenery and dashed towards it with all his strength.
Chills ran down his spine when the lion roar and could here the heavy stomping of his paws coming after him. Ed felt his legs growing numb as he increases his speed. He crash in to the bushes and tumbled around in the grass. He lifted his head and looked around for a place to hide.
He couldn't think long when he was smack across his side and tumbled about ten feet before hitting a tree. He shook his head and didn't know how much he could take the abuse. Alzon grinned and slowly walked over to him. He looked up to see that tree was split in half and something popped in his head.
Ed quickly got up and jump through the tree and in to a thick a part of the jungle. He looked back to see Alzon leaping through the split tree. Ed close his eyes ready for the blow but instead he heard the lion roaring in pain. He open his eyes and nearly laughed when Alzon got stuck half through and couldn't move very well. Well that what happens when you're that big.
Ed smiled and sat down for a minute to catch his breath. He was bleeding everywhere but it was a good for him, he didn't have serious injuries but the bad thing was he didn't know where he was or how far he was from the pride lands or if Secret was okay.
He could rest long when the tree started to break and Alzon laughed "you think a stupid tree could keep me from tearing you to shreds then you're dumber then I thought" he said
Ed got on his feet again and took off before the tree broke and Alzon was free. He went deeper in to the thick jungle and found a small hole that lead to an under ground cave. He squeeze himself in to it and crawled in to the cool dark a small air pocket. It looked like this place was dug up by some gofer type mammal or meerkats. The only light was from the entrance, which he crawled to see if the coast was clear. He looked out, trying not to make a sound, to find the area empty.
He took a deep breath and sigh in relief then suddenly Alzon popped out of now where, roar so loud as he tried to claw Ed with his paws. Ed screamed from the sudden shocked and tumbled backwards back to the air pocket. He look up at the tunnel entrance to see that Alzon could fit in and get him. He felt his throat was on fire and started coughing.
"The minute you get out I'm going to kill you" Alzon said
Ed knew that lion was going to wait til he comes out. He continued to cough, his throat was really sore and burning, as he laid down to take a rest.
"You were suppose to be watching her" Info shouted at Gossip
"I was?" Gossip said "I told you I was going to take a nap, you the one who left"
"I had to do something important" Info shouted "but it doesn't matter anymore, we got to find her now"
Gossip eyes widen "we don't need to look very far"
Info turned around to see Silet, barely standing on her paws, with Shenzi "oh my god, what happen"
"I don't know, she just came to me like this" Shenzi said
Info ran over to her friend to help her but Silet growled and back away from her. The other three females were stunned, not once in her life did she ever growled at anyone. "Got away from me!" Silet growled at Info.
"What? I'm just trying to see your wounds so I know what I can do" Info said
Silet laughed weakly "YOU know, that why Info always knows, she knows everything right?"
The females looked at her funny "duh, I told you before I knew everything, I am the smart one" she said
"Maybe you should lie down" Gossip said
"I grew up hearing Info bragging about how smart she was, and the fact that she hated being called a "Know-it-all" Silet said
Shenzi saw the colors leaving Info's body and she took a deep breath "don't you dare call me that"
"What a matter, it hurts to know that truth that you're a "Know-it-all" she said
"Shut up" Info said rasing her voice
"Oh, I hear everyone saying it since I was little, even by your mother, she calls you that so many times that-"
"I said Shut up" Info shouted
"That what she named her, Nowital" Silet said "that her real name, Nowital (sounds like know-it-all)"
Shenzi jaw dropped and saw Info shaking in anger. Gossip on the other hand started laughing big time.
"Oh my god, I forgot how funny that name was" Gossip said laughing til tears fell out of her eyes.
"I wouldn't be laughing Blabatha!" Nowital shouted
Gossip screamed at the top of her lungs "don't you ever call me that!" she shouted at Info.
"What, you don't like it, after all IT ISYOUR NAME!" Info shouted
"It least I wasn't name because I knew "everything" about "everything" and brag about iteverywhere I go" Gossip shouted "I heard you mother talking to my mother and she like "oh, you should see her and the way she brags about being smart. She can be such a know-it-all"
"I wouldn't be talking when you name is Blabatha, and do you know why your mother named you that BECAUSE YOU TALK SO DAMN MUCH" she screamed
"Nowital, Nowital, Nowital, NOWITAL!" she shouted
"Blabatha, Blabatha, Blabatha, BLABATHA!" Info shouted "or should I say "Blabby"
"You bitch!" Blabatha shouted and tackle Nowital to the floor and they started fighting.
Shenzi stared at the two fighting females "Nowital and Blabatha" she asked Silet
Silet nodded "what was wrong with your name, it not an embarrassment and shameful as those names"
She smiled weakly "my mother made up a tongue twister, she thought it was funny saying it over and over again. "Silence Silet so Silent" she said then frown "I hated when she said that, that was the last thing she told me before she died"
"Oh, I'm sorry but what did this have to do with me" Shenzi asked
"I'll tell you that in a minute but first did you know that Nowital was always jealous of you for being smarter then she was"
Info pushed Gossip away "that not true" she shouted
"Or that she doesn't know how to hunt to save her life"
"Selit, shut up" she shouted
"Or that Blabatha hated the fact that Zacuru liked you instead of her"
"That a stupid lie" Blabatha shouted
"She went through a thing one timewhere she only ate plants for a month"
"Stop it, stop it, will you shut up" she said covering her ears as well as Nowital
"The reason Nowital never wanted to challenge to a fight because she was too lazy to learn about it and the Blabatha was always a shame that her father was a lackey"
Gossip started to cry "no, you promise me you would never tell that to anyone, and I thought since I didn't know how to hunt I tried to live off grass" she cried harder and harder.
"I'm the smart one, I'm the smartest one why would I be jealous of Shenzi and it not my fault my mother named me that" Info bursted in to tears "curse her!"
Shenzi shook her head as she watch the two crying and for a minute she felt sorry for them. But she was more worried about why Silet was acting this way and how did she get those injuries.
"I'm not as weak as they say I am" she said as tears form in her eyes again.
"Silet, what is going on" she asked
"I need to tell you the truth"
"The truth?" Shenzi asked
"Yes, everything that been happening, everything that you were told was a lie, a set up" she said "we were hired by Zacuru to spy on you for food, we told him everything that been going on in your daily life."
Shenzi looked at her stunned and shocked "Nuacka and Shentana had a fight and Nuacka joined up with Scar to get rid of her. Those scars you see on Blabatha's back was a warning if we talked because we over heard them talking about the plan. Mufasa didn't kill your mother, it was that Alzon lion while Zira and Scar watched her and we knew that was going to happen to her and we didn't warn her" Silet confessed with tears pouring out of her eyes. "Scar lied to you so he could have the clan as his henchmen"
"We made Todei joined up with us because Zacuru wanted to know about Banzai's past. Todei told everything he knew about his past, about your relationship with him, and the fact that you let Nala go, EVERYTHING"
"Stop talking Silet, or we're going to be killed" Info shouted
"We! There isn't a we anymore Nowital" Silet shouted "you and everyone else were trying to get rid of me just like Banzai"
"Banzai?" Shenzi said then looked over to Nowital "something happen to him and you know, don't you"
Info looked at her and said nothing. "She does, Nuacka and Zacuru wanted him dead just like Shentana, they made a deal with Zira and her brother to get rid of him"
Shenzi stood there "don't tell me"
A tear rolled down Silet's cheek "he's dead and so is Todei and Ed, Alzon tried to kill me and Ed just an hour ago"
"Nuacka wanted you dead" Info asked
"Made make it sound like you didn't know, I know you wanted me gone too because you couldn't trust me anymore" Silet shouted
"We did not wanted you dead!" Info shouted "you a pain in the butt but we still love you, you're like a sister to us"
"Not anymore" Gossip said running towards her "you little bitch, you can't even keep your mouth shut"
Gossip was about to smack her but Info stopped "Gossip no!" she shouted and lower her paw "we promised her father on his grave that we will watch over her and made sure she stayed out of trouble"
"We're going to be in trouble if Nuacka found out about this"
Before Info could finish, the other two females crashed in to her and they fell to the ground. The three females turned are to see Shenzi looking down at them with angry eyes full of tears. She was growling "you heartless, selfish, poor excess for hyenas" Shenzi said
They knew she was angry, very angry when Shenzi took a step forward and slapped each one of them as hard as she could. "Why, why did you do this, and if you say for food then you don't mind having your lives cut short"
"I'm sorry Shenzi, I'm so sorry" Silet said
"Yeah what she said" Info said
"Do you know what I have been through" she asked calmly "YOU DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA!"
They flinch from her voice and shook their heads. "I spent days, being brainwashed by Zacuru and Nuacka thinking Banzai ranaway without saying good-bye. And I don't even want to mention what nearly happen to me last night. And now you're telling me all this that you been hiding for a year now." she growled
They nodded but that didn't help them "YOU STUPID IDIOTS, my mother is dead, Banzai is dead and now so is Ed, and what do you get out of this, a friend that just had a breakdown, no food and a very pissed off hyena who would love nothing more then to kill you" she growled then sigh "but luckily for you, I have another more important thing to do"
She walked past them "where are you going" Info asked
"I'm going to "talk" to Nuacka and if you dare leave this place, I will track you down since Banzai and Ed are gone I have no more weak spots for you or Zacuru to hurt" she said "if you stay, I'll make sure I won't kill you, but if you leave you're as good as dead"
The three females nodded and watched her as she ran off. Info and Gossip looked at their friend "I hope you realize what you have just done" Info said
"Why did you want me dead" Silet asked
"Stupid we never wanted you dead" Info said but Gossip said nothing she was still too pissed off.
"Then who wanted me dead" she asked
Info can only think of one hyena (Nuacka)
(Nuacka and Shentana had a fight and Nuacka joined up with Scar to get rid of her)
That was only thing Shenzi couldn't get out of her head as she was running over to Nuacka's cave. Why would she do this to her mother. Shenzi looked around the caves but didn't find her. She looked all over the graveyard area where she might be at but still no sigh of her. Then she spotted her next to the giant skull as if she was waiting for her.
Shenzi walked over to her "Nuacka?"
"So you know the truth" Nuacka said
"Yes, how would you know" she asked
"I could hear the little nuisance crying and confessing all the way back to my cave" she said as she turned around to face her. "It too bad she escape from Alzon, but I feel bad for Ed though"
Shenzi held back her anger, she wanted answers "I like to know one thing"
"And what is that" she grinned
"Why" Shenzi asked
Nuacka chuckled "my dear child, my dear stupid child, it the same reason your mother never told you how she marry your father. Or why I never mention Zacuru's father and why I despise outsiders with all my soul" ...
