TLK III: meatus dominatrix regnator

Ch. 5

'I know he's following us, but know one will listen to me... they think he's still knocked out!' Thought Ugoni. 'He said we were beautiful, why did he try to kill me then?' Mamo's words kept running through her head 'Ahhh, they're beautiful.' "Mom...?" Ugoni decided to try to tell them one more time.

"What?" Zira said a little irritated. 'Won't she just let it go! He's not following us.'

"I saw Mamo get up, I swear! If we straight home he'll know where that is and hurt more lions!" Ugoni said for the tenth time since they left.

"I promise you, Ugoni, he's not following us." Kiara said softly, but she wasn't convinced herself by her own words. "Kovu, I think we should stop here and rest. Then go to the outlands and rest there in the cave. Incase Mamo is following us, he'll think we live in the outlands." Kiara whispered to her mate. "Plus I think I'll be ready to have the cubs about the time we get to the outlands." (A/N: It had been three months which about the time a leopard is pregnant so I think that's how long a lioness would be too) Kovu looked at her and smiled. He then stopped and faced the rest of them.

"All right, we'll be stopping here for the night then make our way to the outlands tomorrow where we'll stay." Kovu announced. "When we get there Kiara will most likely be giving birth to her cubs. Then we'll need someone to go and find her parents and the rest of the pride and bring them there." He circled around them until they all laid down. Then went over to the side of them and laid down, but didn't sleep. He then felt something rub up against him. He looked and saw Ugoni.

"I know I saw him, I know I did." Ugoni said. "You have to believe me."

"I do, that's why we're making our way to the outlands not home." Kovu whispered in his sister's ear. She looked up at him and smiled. She curled up and fell asleep. Kovu sighed and fell asleep.

Zira got up and walked over to Kiara. "I'm sorry for snapping at you earlier..." She said looking into Kiara's eyes. "So... I'm gonna be a grandmother?" She asked. "Man, I feel old now..."

Kiara let out a small laugh. "Think about how my dad feels, all he's been through. He doesn't even want me to have cubs. I ran away after he said that... Just think if he hadn't said I couldn't have cubs, I wouldn't have ran away and found your daughter." She sighed as she set her head on her paws.

"You were right, Kiara, we are one... especially now that we're related." Zira sighed too. "So, I can thank you father for my daughter being alive?"

"Yeah, pretty much." Kiara replied.

"You know, if I hadn't lost my daughter I'd still want revenge." Zira said. She yawned then said, "Well, we'd better get to sleep so we can leave tomorrow."

"Yeah, we should..., good night." Kiara said and Zira just mumble 'mm hmmm' 'Is she really good or is it just a plan... who knows.' she thought.

'They're going to lead me right to where they live, then I can take over the pride.' Mamo thought as he laughed to himself and walked off to a small little cave.
