Hiya!

Sorry if I've twisted characters a little too much. If I've upset anyone then SORRY!

All will be explained in this chapter…


Thali soon regained conciseness, to discover Simba, Moon, Tear and Kiara looking down at her

"Mom are you ok!" Moon cried

"What happened?" Kiara gaped

"Who did this to you?" Simba looked concerned

"I'm-Ow!" she sat up "Ok…"

"No you're not! Lie down" Tear nuzzled her face

"Who did this to you?" Simba repeated

"K-K…" Kovu arrived at the scene

"K who?" Kiara gazed at her. Thali remained silent

"Kovu do you know anything about this!" Simba growled

"I don't know what you're talking about Simba" Kovu frowned

"Thali's injured! Was it you?" Tear snarled

"Tear how could you be so heartless? He's your father! He would never hurt your mother in anyway" Kiara snapped, although she did eye Kovu suspiciously

"That's right Tear!" Kovu ran over to Thali

"Are you ok?" he whispered so softly as if nothing had ever happened

"Kovu… Kovu? Get away from me!" Thali snarled, Kovu jumped away from her side. Kovu's eyes then seemed to get brighter.

"Kovu are you ok?" Kiara walked up to him

"No…" Thali looked deep into Kovu's eyes and saw Scar "Oh no… Kovu come back!" Thali screamed

"What an earth are you talking about you silly girl!" Kovu snapped. Or was it?

"Kovu?" Kiara asked fearfully

"Kiara get over here!" Simba shouted, she quickly did as her father said.

"I've got Rafiki!" Vitani arrived with Rafiki "Kovu!" Vitani saw her brother's face. Rafiki started chanting some sort of ancient African. Kovu collapsed to the ground. Rafiki stopped chanting.

"Kovu!" Kiara ran to him

"Don't touch 'im!" Rafiki warned

"Restrain her!" Simba shouted at Moon and Tear. Moon blocked Kiara's way whilst Tear grabbed her tail in his jaws.

"Thali put your paw on his nose"

"Huh?" Thali raised an eyebrow

"Quickly now!" he said. Thali limped in pain towards Kovu and placed her paw upon his nose, it was cold as ice.

"Now say: Spirit of death leave this soul three times" Rafiki urged her

"Spirit of death leave this soul…" Kovu twitched "Spirit of death leave this soul" Thali felt him breathing "Spirit of death leave this soul!" Kovu sat up in shock. She smiled and hugged him

"Kovu!" Kiara barged passed Moon and licked Kovu's cheek

"What happened to me? I felt… Dead" Kovu asked

"Scar over powered you and controlled your body from time to time" Rafiki acknowledged

"So it wasn't Kovu who kept hurting me?" Thali then remembered that no one else knew that Kovu had done it

"What!" Simba growled

"Leave him be" Thali said

"Now Thali lets take a look at you" Rafiki 'hobbled' over to her "Lay down child" Rafiki comforted. Thali lay down whilst Rafiki looked at her belly.

"Is the baby gonna be ok?" Thali asked worriedly

"Hmm... Yes it will be fine. But... No I don't want to worry you..." Rafiki stood up

"What's going to happen Rafiki?" Kovu asked

"And none of your mumbo jumbo please" Vitani scowled

"Well...?" Thali's eyes sparkled

"You... Might... Not make it after delivering de cub..." Rafiki stepped towards Simba for protection

"What... I'm gonna die...?" Thali gaped

"What!" Tear and Moon said in unison

"Rafiki surely there must be something?" Simba stood looking down at him

"No... I'm afraid not..." Rafiki avoided eye-contact with him

"But she can't die!" Moon cried

"We only just found her!" Tear completed the sentence

"You're right! She can't!" Vitani shouted. Kovu was still in shock of what he had done

"There has to be something!" Kiara snapped her eyes filled with tears

"Well-" he started

"I don't want to die!" Thali roared out in sadness

"There is one way... But it will take a while for it to work" Rafiki said

"There is? Will I AND the cub survive?" Thali asked hopefully

"Yes"

"Then I'll do it" Thali smiled

"Well Thali all you have to do is starve yourself for three days in the Sahara desert" he leaned on his walking stick

"But she'll be severely ill!" Kovu finally blurted out

"That is de risk. Thali will you it?" Rafiki asked

"Yes"...
