Chapter 4 lost home
About five hours later
"You don't think we're too late back," Shanika said.
"No, when my mum said an hour she meant as long as we wanted." Shargra answered.
"Are we there yet?" Shanika whined.
"Shanika you can see the cave… who are they? I've never seen them before." He said, looking at the three large lions walking up to their cave.
"Shall we find out before they see us?" Shanika said.
"Ok." Shargra said.
With that the two cubs dived behind a large bolder to listen.
"Oh look, my new pride!" one of the lions said.
"You mean our new pride." another interrupted.
"Oh yes, our pride right!" the first one said hurriedly.
"Your pride? We already have a king!" said Isua who was lying in front of the cave, standing up.
"Well, we don't see one, and if we do he won't survive long so I hope he has enough sense to stay away!" said the first lion.
"You can't do that!" Isua shouted, now obviously angry.
"Oh, I think you'll find we can, as anyone who disagrees won't live to regret it!" said the first lion.
"Yeah, this is the perfect kingdom for us. No king…beautiful women… and we don't even have to kill any cubs - there aren't any!" said the second lion, and both strangers began to laugh. They did not notice the panic in Isua's eyes. She started to panic - she'd forgotten about the cubs! What if they came back now? They'd be killed!
"You can't just come in and take over like this!" she screamed.
One of them walked over to her and extended a claw to her furry throat, watching as a trickle of blood fell onto the white fur beneath her chin, and smiling, his breath reeking of stale meat.
"I think you'll find we just did, and if you want to live then I suggest silence!" the first lion said, leering.
Realising defeat Isua stalked over to the other lionesses, head held high as the intruders laughed and watched her every move. They were lying by the bolder Shargra and Shanika were hiding behind "What can we do about those three?" she whispered.
"As I see it there's not much we can do; we just have to hope that the cubs don't come back" said one lioness.
"How can you say that, Shanika's your daughter!" Isua shouted.
"Mum…" Shanika whimpered, but was quickly hushed by an anxious Shargra.
" I know, but if they come back they'll be killed. What can we do? You're the only good fighter." said Shanika's mother.
"We have to fight back Mwenzi. It's the only way." Isua said.
"Look Isua we haven't got a chance against three full grown males - even if we had Bafsta we might not win!" Mwenzi said angrily. "Would you lead all the lionesses to certain death?"
"Where is Bafsta?" Isua asked, suddenly worried.
"How would I know? All we can do is hope he's alright and with the cubs." Mwenzi replied.
Shargra and Shanika looked at each other, horrified, and backed away from the rock.
"… We can't go back." Shargra whispered softly.
"What? But we must! This is our home!" stuttered Shanika.
"Shanika, I want to go back too but if we do we'll be killed." He sighed and looked back at his mother. "All we can do is to try to get out of here without dying. We might not manage that."
"But…" she began.
"No, Shanika we must go" Shargra said.
With that they both turned to leave. Shanika even stopped complaining, for in their hearts they both knew, as they set off towards the sun that shed it's dying rays across the Savannah, they knew they would never be able to go home.
