Chapter 13 – a song shanika didnt sing

By the time Shargra had caught up with Shanika she had run halfway across the Pridelands. "Shanika what are you doing! What is wrong with you?" he thought for a minute. "Actually, don't answer that or we'll be here all day."

"I decided the waterhole was boring, so we're going somewhere else" Shanika said happily.

"Correction Shanika you may want to but I don't. I'm too tired after chasing you!" he laughed, sitting down and rolling over onto his back in the dust.

"Okay, bye then!" and she ran off.

Hoping that she would not get in to too much trouble Shargra grimaced and closed his eyes for a rest, basking in the midday sun. He dreamt…

He dreamt of a warthog and a meercat standing, silhouetted against the rain on the rock, and of a lion in the sky reaching down and pulling the scarred lion from the rock. He dreamt of a hyena, leaping, jaws stretched… He fought the hyena, pulling it to the ground, and preparing to rip out it's throat when-

"WAKE UP!" someone shouted right in his ear. He jumped 6 feet in the air and spun around. "Shanika? Don't ever do that again!" he growled.

"Sorry, but you have to see my new pet!" she said excitedly.

"Oh Shanika, not again, the readers will get bored with this! Can't the author think of anything new?"

"What?" Shanika asked, looking bemused.

Shargra realised his mistake, and hurriedly added, "I mean I'm getting bored with this. Let's see it then," he said, resigned to it. Shanika stepped aside and revealed… a simple looking hyena with its tongue hanging out.

"He's called Fluffy Two! No, maybe Ed…No, Fluffy Two! Isn't he sweet?" she giggled.

"Shanika, that's a hyena." he said incredulously.

"I know." she smirked.

"You don't like hyenas, Shanika,"

"Yes, but this one does tricks! Look," she turned to the hyena, "Sit!" It sat. "Roll over!" It rolled over. "Beg!" In answer to that it raised its front paws in the air and made whimpering sounds.

Shargra watched in amazement as it slobbered affectionately, tongue bright red and laughing all the time. "It's as mad as you are!" He said, no thoroughly disturbed by this place. " And you can't keep it."

"But-"

"No buts, it goes." Shargra said firmly

"You're mean!" she whined, but nonetheless she turned to the hyena and said reluctantly, "I'm sorry Fluffy Two but you have to go." The hyena looked sad for a second but then ran away laughing.

Shanika didn't know it, but a few hours later that hyena would be found by a pack, who would ask it it's name and it would answer. The name it would give would be 'Ed.' That hyena would then commence to eat the matriarch's leg, for no apparent reason, as there was food in front of it.

"That's the last time I leave you alone, come on we'd better get home."

"Home?" she echoed. "I thought you said we could never go home!"

Shargra turned to her. "This is our home now, Shanika!"

"Oh…is it?"

Shargra grabbed Shanika by the ear and started to pull her to Pride Rock.

Five minutes later they were walking up to the cave. "Are we nearly there yet?" Shanika whined.

"Oh don't do that! Please, just anything but that!" Shargra begged.

There was a voice from the cave. "Simba I'm very disappointed with you…"

"Looks like someone's in trouble." Shanika muttered. "Let's get a closer look!"

"Let's not. Let's not go in yet - this is probably an awkward moment."

"Awkward slushy or awkward I-just-peed-myself?"

"Awkward slushy."

"Eww!" They walked to the end of the rock and only then did Shargra realise the implications of this statement. "You were rooting for the other one!"

Suddenly he pricked his ears up. "Is it me or is there someone singing? Shanika what have you done now?"

"It wasn't me, honest!" she said and for once she sounded sincere.

They stood, hearing snatches of the terrifying tune on the wind, which Shanika picked up and began humming. The rock trembled beneath their paws.

The wind changed direction and the voices could be heard clearly, floating from across the Savannah. "Yes, our teeth and ambitions are bared, be prepared!" The song descended into maniacal laughter.

Shargra and Shanika looked at each other with a sudden feeling of foreboding.
