Cry Wolf
Sorry for taking so long in updating.
Chapter 2
The Afro pack was sat in Pride Rock, explaining to Simba and his Pride what had happened. "They came with no warning. They burnt down are forests, took away are food, destroyed are homes and killed many of are pack and family, their was 12 of us, now only 8." Li cried. "Some were only young cubs, but a few months old. They had their whole lives ahead of them!"
Rican nuzzled his mate affectionately and carried on for her. "They were strange animals, on two legs and hair only on the top of their head. We ran from them, as far as we could, and ended up here."
Simba and Nala looked at each other in worry, wondering that these strange creatures the wolves speak of could be. Everyone new whatever they are their dangerous. "We need to find out more about these two legged creatures." Simba said. "Kovu, would you be willing to come with me?"
"Of course Simba." Kovu nodded immediately.
"Good. Rican, Li, could you come? We don't know the way their or around your turf."
Rican and Li shared a look and nodded.
Simba looked at the two Alfa wolves and Kovu. "We shall leave as soon as possible. Kiara, inform the lionesses of what is happening, have them ready if anything goes wrong and these creatures follow us back. Nala, look after the Pridelands, we'll be gone for a few days."
Nala nodded, but Kiara wasn't happy. "Father, I want to go with you! I am as able as you and Kovu."
"Kiara I don't have time for this. I no that you are more than capable, but I need you here to lead the Pride if anything should go wrong. You can fight to protect the Pridelands." Simba said to his daughter. Kiara nodded understanding, but she still did want to go.
Half an hour later, Simba, Kovu, Rican and Li were down in the Pridelands, having left the wolves and lion's to rest and take care of the lands.
They were moving at a steady pace, not wanting to tier themselves out before they got there encase of a fight. The further they got from the Pridelands the rockier it got with large slopes and little vegetation, but they carried on, wanting to get there, get the information and get back as quickly as possible.
By nightfall they had reached the Afro alpine mountains. They still had further to go, but as they'd been travelling all day they stopped to sleep. Resting by a large lake shimmering in the moonlight the four laid in the short patch of grass by the bank. Tucking their legs under them they laid down their heads and let their eyes close.
The next morning they woke to the rising sun. They had a drink from the lake and caught a few hears to eat before carrying on. It took until noon till they saw the first human's. They hid behind a large boulder and watched the humans, who were building little huts and talking to each other. Their were dogs around but the wind was flowing in the camps direction so Simba, Kovu, Rican and Li could pick up all of the scents but the dogs couldn't get theirs. Simba could see that the humans were carrying long grey coloured things. "Their called guns." Rican said when he noticed what Simba was looking at. "That's what they killed are pack with."
"Let's carry on and see what else we can find." Simba said. The four quietly sneaked past the camp and ventured further into the mountains. It wasn't long before they came across more humans. There were a lot of them this time. The four hid again and from their position they could hear what was being said.
"By the time we've finished building here everyone will want to come and live here. We've got the wolves out of the way, they won't be a problem, but we'll most likely have to go to the lands surrounding the mountains. I heard that there are Lion and Hyena packs down their and they'll be a problem." One man said.
Another replied. "Yes, humans will rule this land soon enough."
Simba and Kovu looked at each other in worry. They planned on moving in and attacking the Pridelands. "Let's go. We have enough information, we no why there here." Simba whispered.
They crouched down and silently made their way from the camp. They were almost their when a loud SNAP sounded; Li looked down and saw a snapped twig under her paw.
The humans also heard and looked over.
"LIONS! WOLVES! GRAP YOUR GUNS MEN!" People ran around everywhere, grapping their weapons.
"RUN!" Simba shouted. Bullets whizzed past them as they ran, missing them by mire inches. They were almost away when more humans suddenly appeared before them and they were forced to stop. The humans came from behind them and all together surrounded the four, guns raised. One of the humans aimed his gun straight at Simba's head. And pulled the trigger
