Thanks reviewers!

Teens come in the next chapter I'm afraid.

Thali entered the cave in search for her mother

"Mom" Thali called out, only to be grabbed by a lioness, Thali looked up to see her mom.

"Mom I-" Thali started

"Shh!" Rena snapped "We have a prisoner" Rena pointed to the entrance. A young teenage lion walked in escorted by two lionesses. Thali gasped. He had a long black mane starting to grow and had emerald green eyes, flaming with hatred and despair. Thali would never forget the hatred in those eyes; they could pierce anyone's heart just by his stare. Everyone growled as they stopped walking.

"Ah, Steal just the lion I need" Zira sneered

"You murdered my parents" Steal growled, his voice dangerous.

"Indeed. Your father, a strong one indeed, he took a long time to kill. Your mother was a weakling! Now what were their names? Hmm…" Zira pondered

"My father was, Saimea. And my brave mother, Mayka" Steal said.

"Brave? Her? Haha!" Zira cackled

"It's more than I can say for you! You… You £$&£!" Steal roared lunging at Zira. The other lionesses came to the rescue, forcing him to the ground.

"Kovu!" Zira called him over

"Scar him…" Zira pushed Kovu next to Steal's tried body; Kovu struck him twice, one over his right cheek, and the other across his left eye… Steal suddenly gathered the strength of ten lions, he jumped up and ran. Thali was frozen to the spot. Zira picked Kovu up and put him in his bed.

"I now see the path to our Glorious return… To power" Zira smiled

"But I don't want-" Kovu began

"HUSH! Hush my little one… You must be exhausted…" Thali looked oddly at Zira

Zira: Sleep my little Kovu. Let your dreams take wing. One day when you're big and strong! You will be a king!

"Goodnight" Kovu whispered

"Goodnight my little prince. Tomorrow your training intensifies" Zira whispered

Zira: I've been exiled! Prosecuted! Left alone with no defence! When I think what that brute did, I get a little tense

Zira extended her claws and Thali gulped

Let's skip to…

Zira: That my Lullaby!

Zira cackled. Thali hid behind Kovu's bed. She prayed that Kovu would wake and find out what he was being raised for, but he did not stir. She sobbed. Now knowing that the one she loved was being brought up to kill…

Teens next!
